Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Anglophilia > Quote of the Day > Keira Knightley

mx0080251.jpg

"Weight is a big issue in Hollywood because I'm twice the size, height and everything else, of most of the girls who are going in to see the director for a part. When you realize that I am, at my size, one of the largest actresses there, you start to think, 'I don't think it'd be healthy for me to stay here much longer.'"

- Keira Knightley

  21. Melly says – reply to this


    321

    She's not saying she's big, she's saying that she's sooo small and all of the other girls are even smaller which is not creating a positive body image for her or anyone else.

    is she fucking stupid?

  26. amber says – reply to this


    326

    i'm an actress and model and what she says is 100% TRUE. you have no idea how thin everyone is and how you are told that you can not work if you're above a size 0. Keira is actually much heavier and healthier looking than most, and she's always been that thin since she was a teenager. she's not as bad as the Olsens or Kate Bosworth or anything. i love Keira and she is being honest about the disturbing rules of Hollywood.

    327

    I used to think the majority of Hollywood actresses were really pretty but a line has definitely been crossed now with the likes of Keira, Thandie and Angelina gracing our screens looking like famine victims. Whether they're painfully thin due to personal tragedy, or are merely starving themselves due to some other mental disorder, they look ill, not attractive and Hollywood has to get a grip and stop promoting undernourishment as beauty. Even the fashion industry is being forced to take a long, hard look at itself after several models have died due to complications resulting from annorexia. I saw Keira on Jonathan Ross the other week and was SHOCKED by her skeletal frame. She has a serious problem if she thinks she's bigger than the American twigs. You CAN be too thin, people!

    WHAT??????

  29. bethany says – reply to this


    329

    She has major body image issues. She is taller than many actresses, but twice the size?! Re-goddamn-diculous!

  30. H says – reply to this


    330

    I think the point that she was trying to get across is not that she's fat, but that if she's considered twice the size of these other women, then there are serious problems b/c shes skinny herself.

    Regardless of what she meant, I find it disturbing for her to think herself twice the size of anyone…

  31. Mimi says – reply to this


    331

    She could look to Uma Thurman as a role model. Uma is very tall but she seems to have a healthy weight and is fit. She is very womanly. She was so strong in the Kill Bills. We need more women heroes.

    Now, what are we going to do about Sienna Miller's neck? Have a telethon for the neckless? She could become despondent if she looks at Keira and Uma's necks. They have the necks of swans. Sienna? Jabba the Hut's sister on a good day.

    Maybe if she relaxed her shoulders and let them drop and didn't wear padded shoulders. Yoga? Spray tan illusion?

    This is a serious problem. The neckless. There are others out there. They need our help. Come on, people, put on your thinking caps!!!

    that quote is OLD! still she does look a little too thin.

  33. zenda says – reply to this


    333

    The media keeps insisting that these skinny anorexic women are beautiful so they believe the hype. There are only a handful of celebrities that look really healthy…I really feel sorry for K if she thinks she looks okay.

  34. Angie says – reply to this


    334

    Awesome role model… shes told us previously that anorexia runs in the family (her mother and grandmother suffer from it…) but she denies ever venturing down that path… CLEARLY this statement proves otherwise!!! What has happened to our morals in this society?

  35. Caroline says – reply to this


    335

    one of the largest? Is she serious? OMG someone has hit a state of delusion

  36. Nobody-Cares-Wot-You-Think-People! says – reply to this


    336

    My Sister is not a fucking anorexic! Why the fuck do people even care? Her personal life has nothing to do with you!

    All you people just want so badly to be a part of something that is bigger than you and that is really sad, Truly is. Get a life & and stop trying to live my sisters!

    Every single one of you people that say bad stuff about her are most likely trying to make yourself feel better about something wrong with you. Yes, people in our family have suffered from anorexia but my sister is not one of them.

    Please Leave Her Be!

    Thanks Everyone

    she looks like ET in this picture

  38. Keira weightly says – reply to this


    338

    It looks like her body is going to snap from the sheer weight of her head - she was much prettier when she was a little bit heavier.

    It's so sad - she looks emaciated and not so beautiful.

    It's also much sadder that this is the message being sent to all the young girls in the world. If you're not a toothpick, you're pretty much worthless. It's also being sent by someone they look up to and admire - such a tragedy.

  39. Krista says – reply to this


    339

    Oh NO she didn't. If she's too fat then most of Hollywood needs a burger. I think Rachel Zoe has Keira brainwashed.

    wtf…
    um how is looking skinny
    not looking normal.
    go fuck yourself.
    whoever said that.
    looking ANOREXIC
    is not looking normal.
    all you fat bitches stop talking
    because in your eyes looking
    skinny is "anorexic" like stfu
    you ALL know you want to
    look like that.
    you guys are so jealous it's pretty
    pathetic that you have to comment
    on here calling her anorexic.
    and first of all you clearly didn't
    read it CAREFULLy because you're all
    dumbshits . that's not what she means.
    maybe you should read it over again
    in your ugly fat ass heads of yours.
    and some hollywood celebrities
    ARE naturally skinny.. some of them
    don't starve themselves. You're just
    mad that some people are naturally skinny
    and can eat 10 burgers and not gain
    anything unlike fat people who eat a donut
    and gain fkin 10 pounds. so do yourselves
    a favor and cut the crap

  53. Mimi says – reply to this


    353

    Come on, now. I think this picture was "tweaked" by using Photoshop. Just here and there to make it look more extreme. That's not fair!

    Everyone should be a normal healthy weight. Each person knows whether they feel good or not. If you don't feel good or don't have enough energy, then you should go to the doctor and check it out.

    If you saw the "Thin" documentary on HBO - you will know that it is not a laughing matter. Anorexia is a fatal disease. Young models have recently died from it.

    So, let's not joke about it. It's like an addiction. If the person does not want to change or get help, you can't make them. Some of them have to have feeding tubes inserted. But they even find ways around that to lose weight. One woman was actually siphoning out her stomach through the feeding tube.

    So, it is a very serious disease, like alcoholism.

    Everyone everywhere should be supportive if they know someone who seems to have this. Refer them to help. But they themselves have to want to change and cooperate with the treatment.
