Keira Knightley claims she's "twice the size" of most Hollywood actresses

[sputnik]

^^^
maybe keira's on the same diet pills as her?

Pro-anatards make me yawn.

I saw her in Topshop London. Very skinny top half, but ashtonishing large backside. Kinda weird body. She's not that tall either, about 5' 7". Very pretty, flawless, model type face.

I also saw her, once, in Camden Town, and I agree with that, she's very skinny top half, but her thighs are... I won't say "big" because that wouldn't be true, but quite large compared with the rest of her body.

Anyway, she still is very thin, so I don't take in the "come on, I'm twice the size blablablaaaaah" speech.

Am I the only one that didn't read this as 'waah I'm so big'?

SHe's always said she's skinny. I read it as 'when (even) I am twice the size of the actresses there, that's time to get out' It's not her saying she's fat, it's her saying that she's not the skinniest; there are a lot of those girls who are tiny, but because they're short it doesn't look as skin and bone as Keira-look at Kylie for an example. She's a UK size 4, which is US size 0, but doesn't look skin and bone because she's only 5ft tall.

That's how I saw it too.

And by the way, her current body isn't good. I liked her body in Bend It Like Beckham. If she can stick with that body, she'll be fine. I don't know though, I've seen girls skinnier than her walking around all the time.

EDIT: I meant jealous bitter fatties in a sarcastic way.

She's only 5ft?? She looks so tall!

I googled Keira Knightley height and most came up with 5'7

[MoodyJenny86]

Uhh she's not 5'...

According to imdb.com she's 5'7...

I think they meant Kylie was only 5'.

I think Keira is a natural pear, and the only way she can shift the weight from her bottom half is to get very thin indeed. She always comes out with the 'Oh I have always been thin' line, which is true, but she is so much thinner now than she was I really think she has a problem.

[Rogue]

The example was that Kylie is a size sero at 5ft, the full top was in the wrong place.

Sorry I read it wrong

I dont get why she's so vehement about not having an eating disorder, yet she keeps TALKING ABOUT IT.

Which is it: you're naturally skinny and can't put on weight? Now you're one of the largest actresses out there?

she needs to shut up.

[A*O]

People with eating disorders never shut up about the fact they don't have an eating disorder. It's a classic symptom.

^Maybe in Hollywood this might apply...

I just think this is an unfair assumption because I've unfortunately suffered from EDs since I was a teenager and I never went on and on saying to people that I didn't have a problem...not everyone with an ED is going to vocally express to the world that they 'don't' have an eating disorder...in fact, a lot of ED sufferers know they have a problem but just need a little help being pushed in the right direction and the proper support system...

While denial is a clear symptom of the disease not everyone with an eating disorder is going to blabber on and complain about how people need to stop 'commenting on how thin I am...' etc...and then go on to blabber some more about 'oh well, I'm fine, nothing wrong here...'

This just makes it seem as if it's a ploy for attention (which it very well could be in Ms. Knightley's case and other celebrities talking about their weight...) but not all people suffering with eating disorders are like that...

In fact, most people with eating disorders hate being confronted and find it very uncomfortable and will do anything in their power to avoid those certain 'comments' or situations or having to speak out about it...

[A*O]

But that's kinda the same thing. Denial takes many different forms.
