Keira Knightley Denies Anorexia

Poor Keira. I guess denial is a major part of eating disorders. I wonder if she has seen these photos of herself because she sure looks sick. Here's more:

"Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong."

Defending her appearance, the 21-year-old told PEOPLE, "Hollywood is all about the way you look, and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But, if you're strong and comfortable with yourself, then you're going to be fine."

On Tuesday she addressed the rumors again, saying she was surprised by the suggestion that she had an eating disorder. "(The press) said to me yesterday 'How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was," Knightley told the Associated Press. "I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it."

Still, she said there's nothing to worry about. "I've got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it," Knightley said. "I know it's not something to be taken lightly and I don't."

    I think she has always been thin. At least you can't see her chest bones yet like N. Richie! Gross!!!

    Oh no. I like her and this since she started in Bend it like Beckham. I hope she doesn't fall into the eating-disorder trap.

    If she hasn't already, that is. Right she's always been on the thin side but here she looks skeletal ...

    I don't think she is. I used to be naturally that skinny, unti I hit 21 then started to put on weight.

    I would deny it too if i was her.. it seems is you don't have huge FAKE boobs in hollywood, you're automatically ANorexic!

    Not true. Some ladies just have small boobies, guys!

    you know, i was at the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 premiere in Disneyland, and i met her there. she is an extremely sweet girl, and she has always been naturally thin. at the premiere, she was wearing a beautiful white dress, and looked very thin, but healthy. she looked fresh and happy. i wouldnt call her anorexic in a serious tone.

    i dont think shes anorexix. i think with her type of body she has to stay fat free otherwise she'll look gross. i think the color of her dress and the shimmer and all the other make up stuff give an illusion shes too thin. i agree bonitabijou she does look the same..

    She just doesn't look healthy to me. The bones in her shoulders stick out way too much. I think she'd look so much better if she gained 10 pounds.

    She hasn't lost any weight. That dress and the body oil make her look even smaller than she already is.

    I don't think every super thin actress is anorexic. Some are just naturally thin and as they age they will put on a few pounds but then there are others who because of stress and pressure just don't quite eat enough. She doesn't look unhealthy but certainly would look better with a few pounds. Also, talk to your stylist Kiera. If you are bone thin, why would you drape something on your body to reveal all your bony spots--ribbs, collar bones, spine, etc. Hint #1 to stylist: pick something to "flatter" your client.

    She has always been thin from what I remember. I just watched her in Pride and Prejudice (for the 100th time. I watch it for Matthew McFadyen, not her) and she's quite thin there, as well as Bend it like Beckham. She's probably just naturally thin. That outfit above though is absolutely horrible.

    I think she's one of those naturally thin women. But if the camera adds 10 lbs how bad does she look in person? Imagine how bad Nicole Richie must look in the flesh.

    I agree with Megan Harris on this, yes she's thin but hey let's tka eas an example pamela anderson , i saw bikini pictures of her and if you would take out her enormous baloon implants, people would call her an anorexic. She has no but, no thigts, no belly, she's stick thin. Keira has always been that thin.

    she has always been super skinny. You dont see the bones popping out of her neck or her chest to the extent of mny other actresses. I think she is just naturally like that

    JK, Blue Diesel thinks every chick is hot, LOL

    I have a similar body type to Keira...and I am just naturally thin. I think that's the case for her too, and one day for both of us, our metabolism will slow down. However, I think she needs to learn to dress better, and not call attention to the fact she IS skinny. I would NEVER wear that outfit. I don't have the curvy body to carry it off...

    Looking at her again, I think she looks fine and is nowhere near that skeletor look of Nicole R. HER body type is not naturally thin, that's why she looks so sick (Nicole, that is).

    I remember her talking offhandedly about her metabolism in an interview while she was filming 'Arthur'...basically, complaining about how physical all her roles had been recently (Bend It Like Beckham, Pirates, then battle-Guinevere). She painted a pretty vivid portrait of herself as a person who snacks constantly and lies around watching TV.

    Since at the time (she was just emerging into fame, and no one had said 'boo' about her thinness) she had no reason to lie...I'm guessing she has the metabolism of a rail-thin 15-year-old boy, and what WAS just her personal lifestyle (sedentary and constantly snacking) was keeping her from burning away to this thin. Now, she's busy-busy-busy, and she's this thin. Makes sense to me.

    This isn't one of those girls who used to have pretty curves and has shaved away to nothing or nearly nothing...she's always been a bean-pole. I believe her.

    i think that she looks thin but there is something about the way she is made. I think that she is thin but perhaps she watches her weight a LITLLTE TOO CLOSE

    I just meant that apparently people on this blog are easily offended and take comments as "personal" I think it's rather ridiculous...
