Keira Knightley looked a bit frail as she attended the London premiere for her latest movie The Duchess on Wednesday (September 3) in London, England.
The Duchess which also stars Ralph Fiennes and Dominic Cooper, is set in the 18th century and Keira plays plays Georgiana Spencer the Duchess of Devonshire
The movie is set for a limited release on September 19.
Keira Knightley is never one too keep her opinions to herself (last week she said she couldn’t stop laughing at her co-star)
But over the weekend the actress gave an interview to The Guardian and in it she tells the interviewer to f*ck off six times, says c*nt a couple of times and says she doesn’t care if people hate her.
On money she says, “according to Forbes magazine, I earned 32 million last year,” when asked if it’s true she says “Unfortunately, no,” and then she gets asked how much she actually did earn she replies with a simple “f*ck off.”
On if she was to win an Oscar: “I’d probably shit myself if I had to give a speech.”
The interviewer brings up a review of one of her movies in which she is called a wooden actor and a part of the review says “If you want to befriend a woman, ask her the question, ‘What do you think of Keira Knightley?’ In the resulting torrent of bile and loathing, you will bond.”
She responds saying “I’m doing a good thing for women all over the country, then, I think that’s a very positive thing. I think if you put yourself in the public forum, then that’s what you put yourself up for, I guess. I don’t think I need to read it. I have friends.”
Asked who likes her: “I’m a shit person and no one likes me, I’m an absolute cunt.”
On women: “I think manipulation is something that women do a lot, it’s still our number one problem,” she says. “You look at those characters [in her movie The Duchess] - Georgiana and Bess - and they’re hugely trying to outmaneuver each other, but I think it’s also possible for intense love affairs to happen between women - not necessarily sexual, but things can obviously take a sexual turn. Women do get obsessed with other women - whether they love them or hate them, and I think that line is very easy to cross.”
Never one to keep her opinions to herself, Keira Knightley has given out about the paparazzi because they scare her friends away.
Speaking about how her social life is being affected she said “One of them (friends) asked me if I would mind not going out with them to a restaurant one evening as they find the whole paparazzi thing alarming. I don’t blame them. It can be very intimidating.”
She then started to speak about filming a love scene with co-star, Dominic Cooper, in the upcoming movie Duchess.
She says “I couldn’t stop laughing. He’s a very good looking guy but he’s standing there naked apart from a skin coloured nappy. It’s the most unsexy thing ever. The director even had to ask if I could be a little more supportive and I had to say no - he’s wearing a nappy!”
Hmm could it be her mouth that drives her friends away or would the paps turn you off being a friend of someone?
Keria Knightley and her boyfriend Rupert Friend were spotted leaving the Scotts restaurant in the Mayfair district of London, England on Tuesday night (August 19).
The Atonement actress recently told Vogue that she and Sienna Miller have grown apart since filming their movie, The Edge Of Love.
She said, “I love Sienna, I think she’s a wonderful actress, but we’ve been like two passing ships in the night recently. I think that’s lovely but also sad about acting. You get incredibly close to people and as soon as it’s over you don’t see each other. I don’t think I’m very good at figuring out female friendships. I think they’re quite tricky to navigate.”

Here is the cover for the September 2008 issue of Vogue America which features Keira Knightley.
Knightley recently said that she and Sienna Miller have grown apart since filming their movie The Edge Of Love.
She said, “I love Sienna, I think she’s a wonderful actress, but we’ve been like two passing ships in the night recently. I think that’s lovely but also sad about acting. You get incredibly close to people and as soon as it’s over you don’t see each other. I don’t think I’m very good at figuring out female friendships. I think they’re quite tricky to navigate.”
Keira Knightley is featured in the September 2008 issue of Glamour UK and the actress says feels more comfortable with her figure after she hired a personal trainer.
The actress who was bashed for her tiny figure now agrees that she did look “scrawny”, so she hired a trainer to build a bit of muscle.
On how she became skinny : Until this year, I’ve worked pretty constantly and I think you get to the point where you just need to stop for a minute.
On her figure: Before the trainer, I think I’d lost weight if anything. I lost muscle, so I looked scrawny. I don’t know if it has changed anything, but it did make me feel good.
On her trainer: Now I work out once a week with this woman, who’s great – I need a drill sergeant standing next to me to make me do things.
On what made her work out: I hadn’t worked out for about a year. A friend bought me a few sessions with a personal trainer for Christmas, so I’ve stuck to it.
On the media: I’ve only ever caught the worst things written about me. I’ve never seen anything good.
Keira Knightley is determined to prove she is not dumb because she dropped out of school at the age of 17.
The Atonement actress suffers from dyslexia, but she says that makes her more determined to show she is not stupid, she said, “It makes me feel I am going to read absolutely everything so I can prove that I am not stupid.”
She also thinks because she didn’t go to university or college in favor of her acting career, it gave her a chip on her shoulder. “I am completely uneducated. Not going to university did give me an incredible driving force because it leaves you with a slight chip on your shoulder.”
Knightley won Choice Movie Actress for her work in Atonement at the Teen Choice Awards.
