Keira Knightley: I'll get pregnant to beat anorexia jibes

Actress tired of being criticised about her weight

Thursday, 11 September 2008

Keira Knightley reckons she'll have to get pregnant to convince people she doesn't have an eating disorder.

'That's a good reason to have a kid,' she tells Canadian newspaper National Post.

'They won't say I'm anorexic anymore. Shit, I've got to have a child.

'I can't win. One week I'm anorexic and now my curves are too big. I mean really? It's a joke.

'Am I too tall, too short? Well I'm sorry I'm me.

'It's so predictable to be asked about it, but to me it's not appropriate.'

Keira, 23, is dating actor Rupert Friend, 26.

I feel the same as Keira. I'm also fed up with people saying that I'm anorexic or something. I've been really skinny all my life. I eat a hell of a lot and I just can't put on weight. When I say this people think that I'm bragging. It's a real problem. I've tried everything on the market to put on weight and I've spoken to doctors and nothing works. I wish that they would stop inventing diet pills and foods and invent something for this problem of being too skinny

I can completely understand why people might think that she is anorexic because she looks like she might blow away if someone nearby sneezes.

I hope she's trying to be sarcastic. But,if she's not,she needs to keep her yap shut unless she's putting a sammich or two in it.

I for one and fed up with the way this young woman is treated by people who are clearly mean, jealous, or both. Keira Knightley is talented and wise beyond her years. She displays poise and unbelievable patience in the face of this continuous onslaught. I have taught nutrition at the college level, and I can tell you she is clearly not suffering from an eating disorder. There are quite a few people, especially younger than twenty-five, who have to consume a boatload of calories just to maintain their body weight. I sincerely wish those who don't have anything better to do would leave her alone. Her poise and intelligence exposing all of you for what you are - vacuous idiots who desparately need to get a life. Keep punching back, Keira. Jim in Arizona
