Keira Knightley is the Veruca Salt of the now generation. Only instead of wanting her daddy to buy her an Oompa-Loompa, she wants her mommy to custom-tailor a role specifically written for Keira in a biopic with lesbian undertones. WENN reports:
Keira Knightley clashed with her screenwriter mother Sharman MacDonald over their forthcoming movie The Edge Of Love – because the actress refused to play the part her mum had specifically written for her.
Macdonald told her daughter she had penned the role of Caitlin Thomas just for her in the upcoming film about Welsh poet Dylan Thomas – but the 23-year-old had other ideas.
Macdonald recalls, "I said, 'You're playing Caitlin,' and she said, 'No, I like Vera.'"
As a result, the part of Vera Phillips, one of the Welsh poet's love interests, was transformed – to Knightley's liking. Macdonald adds: "She wasn't even a singer until Keira decided to play her."
Similarly, we hear that Asia Argento's role in Trauma was originally written to be a chaste young nun until Asia told her father, the director, "Needs more titties, pops." Nice work, ladies. Next time try to incorporate some giant raptor battles while you're at it.
