Keira Strutted Her Stuff at Age Six

Keira Knightley looked kinda unrecognizable in those lashes on the cover of Strut magazine. She's always a bit of a chameleon when it comes to photo shoots and this is no exception for the glamorous, young actress. She's had a huge year of movies with Atonement, Silk, and Pirates, but she's still as sassy as ever. Oh, and before I forget, Fab's got the look for less on her stunning, green Atonement dress. Now, here's her quote on getting into acting:

I don't think anyone who's in the acting profession would particularly want their kids to get into it — it's a weird one. . . . I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was six, and I had an amazing headmaster who basically brought my parents into the office and said, "You have to find a carrot to dangle in front of her because that is the only way we're going to get her work, so what does she want to do?" And my mom said, "Well, she wants an agent" and was really embarrassed about it. And he said, "You know what — if you let her [act] during her Summer vacation and it's a present at the end of the year if she does very well, then it might make her work at school," which it did. So I was allowed to act in the Summer as long as I kept my grades up at school.

It sounds like little Keira was determined to make her dreams come true. It's no wonder at just 22 years old Miss Knightley has done so much. While she may not be all dressed up for this weekend's Golden Globes, her movies still could be winning awards. Don't forget to fill out our ballot for a chance to win a year of free entertainment.

    I used to like her, a lot, but lately she's been doing and saying things I don't like!

    Those photos look really awful. But she seems quite cool, and I don't mind her as an actress (presence of Johnny Depp and/or James McAvoy tends to mean I don't notice her acting abilities very much, though....)

    I dont like her either, I think its cos of her annoying quotes.

    She just shouldnt do interviews, but this quote is acutally very cute to me.

    My fav movies were of her before she blew up, like love actually and bend it like beckham.

    almost in each film she's done she speaks with her teeth clenched...lol..why??

    i love her characters in every movie, though...she's got undeniable talent.

    Nearly didn't recognize her. Strut appears to have an interesting aesthetic.

    The pictures are boring to me because it was done by Twiggy so long ago. Yes, it might be an homage, but even that has been done into the ground. Boring pictures.

    She is cute and talented...although I don't think she is the best actress out there by far. She tends to play her characters in a very similar style.

    Erratic-assassin -- YES! I have always been distracted by her teeth when she acts. I am so glad someone else notices besides me. I think that because she always plays feisty rule breakers (in Pirates, Pride & Prejudice, etc.) that maybe her clenching and jaw-jutting comes off as defiant. But to me, it's just the tick of an actress who carries a lot of tension in her mouth!

    I absolutely adore Keira Knightley and think she is very talented; however, I'm SICK of hearing this story. I swear, she is asked to recall this story in almost ALL of her interviews. GAH!

    I imagine the point is that she is SUPPOSED to look like Twiggy. And the quote was endearing. You guys need to lighten up. What's up with all the hating?

    I agree. That's probably what it meant to be.

    I love Keira. She just seems so normal and level-headed about celebrity and her profession in general. Its refreshing. The fact that she's beautiful and talented doesn't hurt either.
