The September covers keep on rolling out!
Keira Knightley appears on Elle‘s 30th anniversary issue looking HOT in a Ralph Lauren leather jacket and short shorts, but her facial expression is a bit…odd.

But no matter! With that deep neckline, everyone’s probably too focused on her cleavage anyway!
The actress and new mom can boast scoring FOUR covers with the mag, which is not something that happens every month, that’s for sure.
In the interview, Keira’s as funny and candid as ever, like when admitting she didn’t really go wild on her 30th birthday:
“I was heavily pregnant, I couldn’t drink├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥what is the point of having a thirtieth birthday if I couldn’t get phenomenally drunk? But my husband took over, arranged a lovely lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, 20 of us, and they were all being so sweet, like, ‘Look, you can have a great time and be sober!’ And it’s fine apart from the fact that they started drinking at about one. Then they came back to our house├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥they’d covered it in balloons that said my name and happy birthday and all that├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥and they got completely obliterated. They were there until two or three in the morning, absolutely drunk, and I was there eight months pregnant, completely sober. So it was lovely, but it wasn’t what I’d imagined a thirtieth birthday was going to be.”
And then also admitting her 20s weren’t all they were cracked up to be, personally:
“My twenties were pretty crap. My career was absolutely amazing; in fact, I don’t think my career will ever get better than it was in my late teens, early twenties. But as a person, you’re changing so much and you’re trying to figure stuff out. Some people go wild and have a great time and throw caution to the wind, and I was the complete opposite. I was very shy. It took me a lot of years to try and stop pleasing a lot of people and allow myself to have fun. It’s the difficult thing of getting out of your own head. To stop going, ‘Oh, there’s something I should be doing, there’s a way I should be behaving, I should be dressing├óΓé¼┬ª.’ All of those shoulds, you can drown in them.”
Oh, AND admitting that she’s done therapy and that it’s awesome:
“I’ve totally done therapy. I highly recommend it. I don’t do it at the moment. But in my early twenties when I found everything completely overwhelming, 100 percent, I did it! Are you kidding? I think when you’re in those moments in your life, and you want to get through them├óΓé¼┬ªyou have to do whatever it is to help you get over it. You have to give it a go. Try anything that might help.”
We love her attitude! It’s so refreshing…
Just like her other three covers in the gallery (above)! Ch-ch-check them out!
