Keira Knightley Refuses to Do This Now That She's a Mom of Two

“I never did anything that I didn’t feel comfortable doing,” Keira explained to the Financial Times. “I’m really happy with my body. It’s done an amazing thing. But I also don’t want to stand there in front of a whole film crew.”

Keira and husband James Righton share two daughters – Edie, 4, and Delilah, 6 months.

“The nipples droop!” Keira jokingly added. “I have had a kid, I am in my thirties, I am very happy with my body.”

Keira went on to say that her decision also stemmed for the fact that nude scenes are often shared online a lot now.

“It used to be that you’d do a sex scene in isolation with the film, and it would make sense. And maybe a paper would put it somewhere but, ultimately, that would be it,” Keira shared. “But now, you can take the whole thing and put it in a completely different thing, and it’s on some porn site.”

Now, Keira has a no-nudity clause in her contracts and has “total control” over the body doubles that are selected for here scenes.

“That was a choice,” Keira explained. “I get to choose the body double. It is an interesting selection process! It kind of goes like, ‘That’s a little bit like you, but better. She has a lovely body, so she can do this.’ … Then I get final approval of what the edit is.”

Keira Knightley Says Paparazzi Drove Her to a Mental Breakdown

Keira Knightley is opening up about the struggles of living in the public eye.

During a new interview with the The Telegraph, the 34-year-old actress says that she suffered a “mental breakdown” from constantly being followed by the paparazzi after rising to fame in 2003′s Pirates of the Caribbean.

“The value of photographs of any famous young women at the time went up if they were of a very negative nature,” Keira shared, in reference to the paparazzi following stars like Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse in the early 2000s. “So if you weren’t already having a mental breakdown, they were trying to push you into doing things that kept your value as high as those who were.”

Keira continued: “I remember Scarlett Johansson getting forced off the road in Los Angeles, then someone trying to do the same to me in Kentish Town. I told them I was going to kill somebody; they said they’d get more money if I did…I don’t know how things are now…but it was definitely a moment I wanted to run away from. It did not feel like it would end anywhere well.”

Keira went on talk about taking two years off, before saying she returned to acting but “knew I didn’t want to do big-budget films any more, because the fame that came with them I just couldn’t handle.”
