Keira Knightley has has to eat loads just to keep weight on

Keira Knightley's mum hits back at 'bullies'

Playwright denies eating disorder rumours, saying her actress daughter has always been thin

Monday, 16 June 2008

Keira Knightley’s mum Sharman Macdonald has rubbished rumours that her daughter has an eating disorder.

The playwright insists her 23-year-old daughter is naturally slim – and even follows a special diet to keep weight on.

Sharman, 57, says the actress takes after her lanky dad Will, 62.

'She has always been thin,’ she tells the Daily Mail. ‘She's her daddy's daughter, with his long body.

'It's a playground situation that we're looking at with the Press - it's a form of bullying. But what can we do?'

Sharman's film The Edge Of Love – starring Keira and Sienna Miller – is in cinemas on 20 June.
