Keira Knightley wants to make it very clear that she doesn't get naked in movie after movie because she's some kind of twisted nudity-loving pervert (damn!); it's all for her career. She's really ambitious, and ambition=nudity. All those prudey American actresses who refuse to show a boob now and then are just lazy and don't care about their careers or the art of film. Our gossip band leader, FemaleFirst, says:
Keira Knightley refuses to keep her clothes on in her movies.The Oscar-nominated actress – who nearly bares all when she emerges from a pond dripping wet in see-through underwear in new movie 'Atonement' – insists nudity is important in acting.
Keira told Britain's The Times newspaper: "If I wasn't prepared to take my clothes off on screen there would be a whole area of my job that I couldn't explore. And I can't sacrifice my job because of that.
"If I didn't do that scene then maybe my life would be easier. There are plenty of actresses, and certainly a lot of American actresses, who wouldn't have done this part because of that.
"But I was passionate about it, and had to do it no matter what it demanded."
Well isn't it quite fortunate that one of Mr. Skin's operatives happened to screen that very movie at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend. She's actually not technically naked, as her boobs and beav are seen beneath some soaking-wet clothes, but as Keira tends toward arty films that favor jump cuts and dark lighting, we'll take what we can get. And since Keira's British, she's probably required by law to prove her acting ability with respectable smut like Lady Chatterley's Lover or Fanny Hill, which are really just wall-to-wall nudity and fucking. So cheers to the Brits!
