Keira Knightley + Mom = One Hot Sex Scene

It's looking like the promotion for the Dylan-Thomas-and-a-couple-of-hot-lesbians movie The Edge of Love, which doesn't open in the U.S. until this fall, is going to last longer than the spirit-crushing onslaught of Sex and City hype. Every day this week it's been Keira Knightley this, Sienna Miller that. And we're just as excited as anyone to see them get it on, but hearing them talk about nudity and their hot sex scenes every day knowing we won't actually see any of it for months is a bigger tease than a Christian high-school cheerleader. Today's dish involves Keira revealing that she's, like, totally not grossed out that her mommy wrote her sex scene. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Actress Keira Knightley was happy to film a sex scene for her new movie "The Edge of Love," even though her mother wrote the naked romp.

Knightley's mom, Sharman Macdonald, penned the movie's screenplay. She also served as a producer on the project.

Knightley insists that knowing her mother is capable of writing about steamy clinches didn't faze her and she was happy to strip off wherever necessary.

She says, "She dared to put a sex scene in it. It didn't worry me that my mother knows what sex is.

"Come to think of it, I was found under an apple tree. My mother is a virgin. I had no hissy fits when she presented me with the scene."

From what we know of Keira "Tits" Knightley, we're guessing that she and her mom don't exactly have an uptight relationship. We wouldn't be surprised if Keira's bedtime stories as a tot weren't The Little Engine That Could and Goodnight Moon but The Story of O and the collected works Henry Miller.
