Keira Knightley talks about English press’ “shit actress” tag
By ANISunday, February 7, 2010
NEW YORK - Keira Knightley has complained that the English press tag her as a “shit actress.”
The ‘Atonement’ star admitted that people question her acting skills despite her success.
“Oh, they still say that! Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a shit actress?’” the Huffington Post quoted her as telling the March issue of Elle magazine.
She added: “You have to be selective about the people whose advice and opinions you take. I know [my parents] would never tell me I was shit because they were trying to hurt me. It would always come from a very sincere place.”
Also, she spoke about her upcoming film ‘Last Night.’
She said: “When we were making it, the arguments on set were just amazing about whether mental infidelity is better or worse than physical infidelity.
“There was a huge gender divide on the question. Every single woman said that mental infidelity is 10 times worse than [an emotionless assignation]. And most men I spoke with said that it’s the physical act that would be the ultimate betrayal.” (ANI)

I don’t know where they get “shit actress.” Some of her projects haven’t been great, but that’s true of most (if not all actors). I just wish she’d put on some weight. Interesting about the gender divide on the “mental infidelity” issue. Guys: Women think “emotional affairs” are a BIG DEAL, even if you don’t. Better not to do it. |

I’d be happy if she’d put on some weight, but I don’t know where “shit actress” comes from. Also, interesting about the gender divide on her movie. Guys, take note: Women find an “emotional affair” to be a BIG deal. Don’t do it. |
