Keira Knightley: My mum and I chat about sex

Actress says they share a very close bond

Keira Knightley's mum also made the actress smoke cigarettes with her

Keira Knightley admits she's always been able to talk to her mum Sharman MacDonald about sex.

The actress, 23, says they had a very open relationship when she was growing up.

‘[It wasn’t] the typical mother-daughter thing,’ she tells Metro.

‘My house was always the one where my brother and his mates would be drinking when they shouldn’t be.

‘Mum and I would always talk about sex.

'She’d come up to my room and have me roll her cigarette and then tell me I had to have one with her.’

Sharman wrote the screenplay for Keira's latest film The Edge Of Love, starring Sienna Miller, 26.
