Keira Knightley called a 'c***' by thug

Actress left shaken after shock incident

Friday, 5 September 2008

Keira Knightley was abused by a mystery man who called her a c***.

The actress was approached by the thug as she walked near her home.

‘The other day a guy jumped out in the street and went, “Keira Knightley!”’ she explains.

‘I got such a shock, I couldn't say anything. He took incredible offence and hurled the most amazing abuse.

‘He said: “Who the f*** do you think you f***ing are? You’re such a c***.” All this, and I’m completely on my own.’

And it’s not the first time Keira, 23, has had to deal with unwanted attention.

‘It’s happened enough to make me quite jumpy,’ she tells the Daily Star.

‘I’ve never managed to get used to people recognising me in the street.

'I’m a naturally quiet person, always have been.’
