Regarding her food comment: She said she loved chips and pasta, not that she ate is every night! You would be OVERWEIGHT if you ate that every night! She probably uses PORTION CONTROL. Also, in an interview she said she doesn’t eat CARBS after 4pm.

Lastly, about the eating disorder: 1. She said eating disorders were in her family (her grandmother), but that 2. she does not have an eating disorder and NEVER has had an eating disorder. Eating disorders are mental illnesses and she is QUITE ALRIGHT.

If she really “LOVED” the attention then how come there aren’t more photos of her going to events, clubs, out shopping, etc. etc.??? NEWSFLASH she’s a very private person and doesn’t give a shit about attention. She’s in it for the craft of acting not the media. I don’t buy the whole “attention’ theory one bit.

Keira is not like other actresses in the media. She has been linked with TWO men since she has been famous (since she was age 16!) — her current boyfriend being her partner for the last FIVE years. She also has a really supportive family and she is often seen with her mother, father, and brother. She does not have “feuds” with other celebrities. She does not go clubbing every night. She is well spoken and quiet and cheeky and takes her job seriously. She does not have a drinking problem, or drug problem, and the most controversial thing about her is her WEIGHT which is NO ONE’S BUSINESS ANYWAY (NOT EVEN MINE).

Fact is, she’s skinnier than she used to be. Yes, she was always generally thin but she has gotten THINNER to the point of looking worrisome. Just look at her in the movie Domino and then look at her in Atonement. There is an observable difference even if you’re just looking at her face.

Also women IN THE PUBLIC EYE do tend to get skinnier – so do you blame people for being suspicious? I can’t remember the last time Keira was snapped actually eating something. But I remember an awful lot of Vogue covers since she got skinnier.

I never get why thin chicks can’t just come out and say ‘I’m thin, I like myself this size and I’m not gaining weight just because people want to level some criticism at me’. It’s always – ‘my metabolism is super high’ or ‘I have X heritage and that’s why I’m so thin’ or – my favourite – ‘but I eat (insert allegedly fattening food of choice which wouldn’t make you fat if you were indeed naturally thin anyway so why are we mentioning this here?)’. Hmmm.

Is it really that shocking to say you restrict? Why all the endless secrecy and subterfuge? Why not just say you’re tired of being asked about it but being thinner does have some benefits, and you’ll maybe gain some weight when you’re no longer in the public eye so much?

Also, this is the age of scrutiny of public figures. They get scrutinised for EVERYTHING – if you wear glasses, have red hair, have a tan, don’t have a tan – and yet there’s meant to be some unwritten rule that they don’t get criticised if they’re thin? Seriously, this is the real world we’re living in – you get criticised and scritinized for EVERYTHING and this is no different.

I never get why they’re so shocked that it becomes an issue in some quarters. Unless there’s a silent assumption that being thin puts you BEYOND reproach and criticism because you’ve reached some kind of meta-perfection. Well, in actuality it doesn’t and you can’t always hide behind it.

Hmmm…intelligent? I really doubt it. Not from what I’ve read and seen of her.

Amazingly talented? Not even close. Mildly talented, with good management and a lot of luck, yes.

That is actually untrue. Most people with eating disorders go to extreme lengths to ensure that those closest to them DON’T find out about their disorders, for fear that they will be forced to stop their self-destructive behavior and get help. I know from experience. My Mom is anorexic and I’ve been dealing with her issues my entire life.

So, while the previous poster’s sibling may know Keira Knightly, that doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to her eating disorder. All it means is that she’s become expert at hiding it…like most people who suffer with the illnesses.

I see these actresses who claim to be naturally thin, and maybe the are when they start out (naturally thin but healthy looking), but you see them start to waste away and yet still claim to be “naturally thin” while they become skeletons.

Looks like she is protesting too much, by retelling old stories.

I would respect her more if she said that she was starving herself because the thinner she gets, the more attention she gets, the more money she gets, and the better roles she gets. That’s the truth.

Let’s just start telling the truth about women’s bodies because this is affecting young girls.
