Why is Keira Knightley anybody?

I don't get it either.

She's an English film actress.

You're mostly all gay men here. Of course you don't get it.

And you don't need to.

Don't worry. I've come along to take her place and I'm way more appealing.

Stumped here, as well. Plus when she talks she looks like she's got a set of floating dentures competing with her tongue to make noise.

I finally got around to watching Seeking A Friend for the End of the World this week and thought she was delightful. Also watched her in London Boulevard a couple of days before. And she was very good in Begin Again which I hated the first time I tried to watch it then loved when I gave it a second try. Likewise with Last Night. For some reason, some people loathe her but I think she's cool. I'll take her over the one-note Emma Stone and her ilk any day.

She's anotexic and has a ridiculous nose job

And she's anorexic

I like her

She's a teeth talker

A bottom teeth talker

She must show her bottom teeth when speaking. Keeley Hawes, too.

She has a beautiful face and looked amazing in the first Pirates of the Carribean movie. She is not to proud to play supporting roles and lives in the UK thus she avoids bad press. What's not to like?

I don't think she's pretty at all.

Knightley in Cronenberg's Dangerous Method is possibly one of the worst performances recorded on a film:

^ on film.

She's a beautiful, talented actress, that's why.

I think she's both beautiful and photogenic.

I also think she's a TERRIBLE actress, particularly in the historical roles in which she seems to specialize. Not only can she be laughably bad, as in "A Dangerous Method", or more often, weak and without any sense of history. She started her career playing the modern-type girl in a historical setting in those stupid "Pirates" films, and kept at it even when she was supposed to be an 18th century duchess or Lizzie Bennett or someone who lives and breathes another era.

I thought she was okay in Atonement. Just okay.

I've been sick of her face ever since Bend It Like Beckham. Remember the promotional art for that movie, with her mouth agape in a celebratory cheer, with the brown-skinned girl and the soccer ball? And the tag line "The movie that has Americans dancing in the aisles!" Fuck off.

Plus I know a lot of dorky straight guys who think she's adorable or sexy or something. I get the impression she's supposed to be the new Audrey Hepburn to those people.

One thing that's great about her, however, is she's an outspoken atheist. I think that's wonderful.

She's cuter than the girl next door, but seems like the girl next door. Many straight guys want her as she's pretty but relatable (and doesn't seem high-maintenance); many straight girls would love to have her confidence, composure, and beauty.

When it comes to perfume ads, I find Natalie Portman more baffling. The ads themselves, and why she's in them. However, I admit I actively dislike her, and that colors my perception.

Agreed, r13. Fassbender and Viggo absolutely destroyed her in that film - she was beyond out of her league. You have to wonder what David Cronenberg was thinking.

I think r16 nails it. Hollywood set her up to be the successor to Kate Winslet as the go-to young 'classical' actress for period roles, but it never worked. She's fine for lighter/modern stuff but should be kept from corsets at all costs.

I never thought much of her until I saw Begin Again, she has a lovely voice I was quite obsessed with the ST track for a while.

She has an exquisite little face. She's very very slender, which can be attractive. And she's pretty talented. I'm confused as to why people are confused.

She was so pretty in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film

It was that green dress.

She must be so FUCK YOU rich by now. Didn't Pirates make the stars into .1%ers?

ive been asking the same question for 15 yrs...

why does this skinny vanilla broad get any work in show biz?????

who wants to lay on them skin and bones?

unbelievable. ... and that vassar bitch voice.

I'm with you on this R23 . Keira Knightely is a good Actress And I thought her 'Pride And Prejudice' Elizabeth Bennet, was lovely.

She has the anorexia market sewn up.

I know it is popular to disparage her on Datalounge, but I think she can be very good in the right role.

She is bottom heavy, by her own admission, and in order to have thin legs she has to keep her weight very low.

She is both hungry and thirsty.

She's a charming and very limited actress who started playing adults at 17, so she was well and truly over before she even hit 30.

I don’t feel strongly about her, but I remember DLers making me laugh about her “I look quite pretty” moment in Love Actually.

I think she's pretty, but the main reason I am a fan is that she is hilarious! Saw her on Graham Norton a couple of times and she had an excellent sense of humour.

For me, that can forgive questionable acting skills.

I have the exact same build as her, and same problem; I have to starve myself to keep my legs slim/normal but then my upper body looks emaciated.

I used to really dislike her, but then I saw Pride and Predjudice and loved her in it. It was very different from the tv series version, but I enjoyed it.

I hare people who smile with their bottom teeth all hanging out of their jaw like that.

Nobody cares, r36.

If you painted the blade of this shovel in pink. It would look like her face.

You sound fat r39

You should watch Cronenberg's Dangerous Method, R37, you will unlove her instantly.

You’re a boring frau r41.

[quote]Why is Keira Knightley anybody?

She's not.

She’s very pretty, until she smiles.....

The best thing about the film "Atonement" was Kiera Knightley in that green gown -

you're a boring misogynist r43

R46

I did it better, obviously!

^ OMG, a preteen boy wearing a dress and make-up.

^That's an Academy Award Winner who actually became a Prima Ballernia to you, R50!!!!

Kiera in Prada - Spectacular

Yes, but that hair color... R52.

The spectacular Prada Gown, not Her!

This anorexic female is skinnier than Timothee Challyamait.

[quote]you're a boring misogynist [R43]

Go bitch over at Jezebel, hunty.

[quote] I hare people who smile with their bottom teeth all hanging out of their jaw like that.

She does have an under bite, but I think she's loads more interesting and charismatic than Natalie Portman.

Here's Julie Christie - an undeniable beauty in her younger days. I often wonder why today's movies or even TV productions are filled with "mediocre", forgettable or bland looking women such as:

Kate Winslet Keira Knightley Rooney Mara Sarah Jessica Parker Chloe Sevigny Kirstie Alley Lindsay Lohan Meg Ryan Jennifer Aniston Naomi Watts (playing Princess Diana LOL!) Winona Ryder Kate Hudson Renee Zellweger Scarlett Johansen The list goes on.....

[quote]but I think she's loads more interesting and charismatic than Natalie Portman.

She wouldn't have a career if it hadn't been for me!

Enough, R56. I'm sick of nastiness on every thread nowadays.

I like her in some things, not so much in others. I find her shovel chin is distracting but straight on she's very pretty.

Makeup does wonders for plain Jane Keira.

[quote] She is bottom heavy, by her own admission

She was never “bottom heavy”. That’s what borderline anorexics tell themselves to justify not eating.

Even if she went up 2-3 sizes from her current state, she would still not have thunder thighs or big calves.

Just because she has small breasts, doesn’t mean she needs to starve herself to have no ass either.

She should count her blessings.

Hey, R64...

The grown, adult, sisters who get naked and bathe together... stick together!

you want to heave over the worst perfume commercial?? if i did you have to

Kristin Stewart with that god awful voice and cadence she has.....horrifying

just skip to 0:56 to lessen the suffering......

OP: why is Anybody Someone??? Why is someone anybody??

The next time you are with someone, or anyone, please stand a little closer apart.

Thanks!

If you bother to look at her print ads - Chanel for instance - she is stunningly photogenic and achingly gorgeous. I agree that she is no amazingly actress, but she could just as easily had a huge career in the modeling world. In some ways - that is what she has achieved.

Her, that daisey bitch, natalie portman and rose byrne are all interchangeable.

What happened to her career? I can't even remember the last movie she was in.

Julie Christie — an “undeniable beauty” for the set who still read TV Guide.

She acts via duck lips and pouting.

R70, she has four movies coming out this year.

[quote]What happened to her career? I can't even remember the last movie she was in.

Do you live in a cave?

Sure - A career in the modeling world if you say so, r68.

She is bottom heavy.

Pull your finger out r71. Think of other examples - You must be an accountant. Everything has to be spelled out for you.

If Keira is "thick", then Kate Moss is fat (and we KNOW that is not the case). Both are gorgeous women and neither are heavy....

Yea aren't all of her films flops now?

She used to be a bounty hunter. I mean she used to play a bounty hunter. God that commercial was annoying.

Now she's like a female Eric Bana.

R80 what's wrong with eric bana?

KK needs to stop pumping up her top lip with collagen or whatever. She looks considerably better in the photos taken before she started meddling and pumping it.

R80 That dumb clip is a rip-off of—

Once again, R80...

[quote'She used to be a bounty hunter.

I did it better!

She’s one of those stars that is so easy to get a bad angle on. She has an awkward body, features and is way to thin.

That said, when someone like Joe Wright directs her she looks gorgeous. I can more than see the appeal in “Anna Karenina.”

Why is she doing nothing but period films now?

[quote]stunningly photogenic and achingly gorgeous

Keira Knightley as Dorothy for "The Wizard Of Oz" fashion spread, Vogue Magazine

She looks young and lovely in R91

On a side note I wished I knew how to put the clickable reply in. Is is with [...] those brackets like on IMDb?

I see now. Thanks. I’m not retarded folls, sorry.

She deserves our sympathies for having to look at Benedict Cumberbatch, while filming Imitation Game.

Her Oscar nomination for the Imitation Game was a joke.

She and Gwyneth Paltrow have these huge, square jaws. I prefer women to look more feminine, like Viv Leigh.

Someone nailed it above - Knightley always shows her bottom teeth when she talks - it’s very distracting. Like a grimace.

What are you talking about?

R6, I find her delightful as well! Think she exudes talent & sexuality. Some gay men still have good taste!

There are too many haters of Natalie Portman here to list all the R's.... Another beautiful woman people make out to be ugly.... You all need to re-assess what ugly really is..... You all make up the weirdest "rules" regarding teeth and Jaws, etc.... DaVinci I think said true beauty always involves some off or unique quality or feature not in proportion.... Clearly these women wouldn't be acting AND getting paid well to model if everyone agreed with you. Go Worship your Kardashian clones haters!

The Kardashians are apes.

Natalie Portman and her awful accent in Jackie how she was nominated for that performance is beyond me

she mus give good head cause she

sure dont give good acktung!

"Why is ... anybody?"

I will borrow this, OP, next time I start a thread on some public figure whose fame I consider questionable.

R103 keira or Natalie or both?

She needs to do another film like Domino. Her hair looked amazing.

Even with an emaciated torso and thigh gap wider than the Arc de Triumph, she has fleshy arms and stubby oddly fleshly legs.

I still can't believe David fucking Cronenberg chose HER for A dangerous Method. It was blackmail, right? Some shady Mulholland drive shit, right?

I like her as an actress. I think she’s a decent one.

I am not positive that she is anorexic, but she certainly looks as though she might be, and if she is, or if she’s bordering on that, it’s a shame.

I understand wanting to be stick thin. Clothes look fantastic on you, and that’s all well and good, but looking unhealthy overwhelms the entire presentation. I’ve been there, and ultimately, I chose to be fit, but with some weight on me.

I’d rather carry an extra 10 lbs, than to lose softness about my face, & décolletage.

R72 You says 'she acts via duck lips and pouting'. She also has an ugly case of mandibular prognathism so that her concave face resembles a spade. The director of the 2005 film 'Pride & Prejudice' specifically instructed her to 'never pout' but the woman is congenitally incapable of not pouting.

She helped ruin this ridiculously anachronistic (but good-looking) movie.

Obviously none of you has seen Colette. She's excellent in it and has really come of age as an actress.

Is Colette the women who wrote stories about prostitutes?

mystery of mysterys…..how this anorexic fug skunt gets work...

must sling a mean fuck.

She's got those big brown eyes (like Tom Daley) which lesbians and heterosexual males seem to find so bewitching .

But unfortunately she's also got Meghan's concave face and dangling tendrils.

A friend saw her new movie and said she gives a performance that will be hated by millions.

R115, your friend is wrong.
