She is seriously hideous. I can’t decide if she looks more like an alien or a Dum Dum Pop.
this is a perfect example of whats going on now-a-days. Celebrities and their need to be thin. It’s disgusting! It’s OK to be thin but, this is just disturbing. Personally, i find curvy bodies, like Beyonce & J-Lo, much more attractive.
Ask any man which he prefers and a majority of the time, its CURVES!
heya well i think it up 2 them …but they aint being good role models for younger people with health problems …if more celebs were fatter or curvy and showing they’re proud of it, younger people would be happier with what they are…that’s all I have to say byebye:]
it makes me sad because she is simply so beautiful, but she is also young, and the pressure to be thin in hollywood has taken its toll on her… she is one of my favorite actresses. very sad.
I love pride and prejudice its on in my room and its so sad that many hollywood actress are trying to appear super thin. She is beautiful and she is trying to be something she is not.
Looks like she as in a consentration camp terrible
Really gross. She looks sickly. Why do these women think it’s attractive to look like a sickly concentration-camp hostage?
in contrast to most i think unless we truly understand her specific medical issues or lack of same, we shouldn’t be so quick to judge her in particular.
i was unable to maintain body weight of more than 100 or so pounds due to a legit medical problem going unaddresed and was `accused’ of everything from anorexia to drug abuse.
i was not offered help connecting with the appropriate medical specialists.
today i am a bit squishy at about 128. not like i care, i am curvy where i `should be’ and care only about weight in the context of overall health.
while perhaps unlikely in any given case, the possibility of something other than a character defect being at work does exist.
i sure wish someone would have thought of ruling that out before blaming me and it has sure taught me a lesson.
Poor Kiera!.Looks like shes under pressure,like the rest of “Young Hollywood” today.For example Mischa Barton has the face of an angel,but my dogs bone has more meat on it.
Someone on the Red Carpet said he’d always wanted to present her with something.He did,it was a sandwich.Thats true! It’s also such a shame.They’re also tall so they should know that tallpeople can carry extra weight and not look fat.I hpoe they realise this before it tooo late.
unhealthy!
She’s in denial or flat out lying.
Why are we always obsessing over weight – fat or skinny? Perhaps she has health issues right now. Why do people always assume that it’s for beauty reasons? The fact that we’re always ready to exploit a celebrity’s condiition (whether fat or skinny) makes the problem worse. What kind of message does that send out? Very few of us maintain “the perfect weight” all of our lives – why do we expect this from people in the public eye? It’s the general public that has the obsession with this…..the media that feeds it and the general public who eats it up…..
How can she be that skinny and still live?
She looks like people look when they are on their bed: like a live skeleton. What’s the attraction to that? There is nothing wrong with being naturally thin, but trying to be way under what your natural body weight should be is just creepy.
adding to above: my comp editted out the word
d-e-a-t-h before bed in the first sentence…not to confuse anyone!
She looks like she’s a crack addict!
To those saying we shouldnt “judge” these actors, that they might be having “health issues”, really now, do you really think so?? Look at Kiera when she first started out, look at her on the first Pirates movie, did she look like she had “issues” then? I think not. Is it all about looks/beauty when it comes to Hollywood, well duh. Kiera appears to have a problem, just like all the rest of them. It is a fact that they are pressured and unfortunately they are too dumb to go for it, very sad that they are the hollywood puppets. She looks terrible, she looks like death, if one thinks she looks “great”, then in my opinion you are whacked in the head.
I am naturally thin due to Cystic fibrosis and weighed 86# at my lowest when I was VERY sick..I hated the way I looked but all my calories (i.e. weight) were used up just breathing! I am doing better now, but still have trouble maintaining my weight. I agree with the comment by Sam, Keira was looking nice when she first started out and now she looks just BAD!!!
Gross. Looks very unhealthy, like a walking skeleton. Not attractive at all.
It doesn’t say how much she weighs or how tall she is?
her head is all out of proportion to her body. She looks like an alien
there is a difference between being slim and a downright skinny bag of bones
sam-
i suspect you didn’t read my post or the other dissenters (all one or two of them) very carefully, as there are important qualifiers which address the questions you asked – such as do we `really’ mean what we are saying.
why else would we say it? or share personal details as eg’s to illustrate.
your point about her not having been so skinny earlier in her career, true or not, is a non-issue.
in my case, my disablity caused me to lose over 60 lbs in one year.
how would that prove some sick and vain motive? it is, btw VERY painful physically to be unable to keep food down and/or absorb calories and to those who’ve experienced it, i assure you it is a very serious matter.
yes, it’s true that she’s ‘dangerously’ thin and i hate the way she sucks her cheeks in. but even then, in most other photographs, I find her looking totally bewitching!
Очень худая деввушка!!! Так и умереть не долго!
I think people like her should be locked away and force fed till they gain a few pounds. The media hype surrounding these ‘beautiful’ women is wreaking havoc with our children’s self-esteem and body image! I have a beautiful teenage daughter who’s a curvy size 14 with a 40 inch bust which she keeps hiding under baggy tops, because she’s too ‘fat’! At 5 feet 8 inches she carries the weight very well, but it’s the Keiras of this world that are hailed as ‘beautiful’, ‘gorgeous’ and ‘stunning’ by the media!
She doesn’t look very attractive in this latest photo. I think she could stand to gain 10 pounds before she looks healthy again. Poor girl, don’t let this get to you like it did Karen Carpenter!
Today’s actresses are all so beautiful but common sense tells us that it’s not everything. I often wonder why they can’t see how lovely they are. I wonder what they see in the mirror. Valerie Bertinelli is the most gorgeous person on TV, not because of the physical but because she oozes lovingness. Now she’s on a weightwatchers program. I don’t think she absolutely had to lose weight.We live in the only culture where starving to death is an acceptable weight loss method. It’s sad. I hope they start believing in themselves before they destroy themselves.
She’s one of many who believes you ARE what you look like
Someone has to tell her to STOP, and FAST! She’s nothing but bones!!!!
Kiera is one of too many dying to be thin in Hollywood, and It’s a sad way to live. I Pray more people don’t fall into that trap of being super skinny.
I have always been overweight since the age of five. I would prefer to look the way I am now than look like this girl. She is so very malnurished. I would gladly give her some of my extra weight to make us both look healthier! I just hope she doesn’t end up in a grave because of her weight obsession. She needs a psychiatrist badly.
She would not be accepted to be published as a swimwear model for us. Having a healthy body is very important and I am sorry for her, I don’t think she understands her priorities and responsiblities to be in the public eye!
Do these young women know what they are doing to their health. Absolutely not! All they are doing is ruining their looks and probably an early death.
REMEMBER…the camera ADDS 15 pounds (supposedly)to everyone’s frame. This means that everyone looks heavier in pictures and movies than they would if they were standing next to you…can you imagine how she would look in these photos minus 15 pounds?
Keira is gorgeous and naturally slim (only educated people will know this)and ive found that girls who insult her are always rather on the obese side and common. She is highly talented and doesnt deserve to be insulted.
People who feel the need to criticize other’s bodies are generally insecure about their own.
I think its sadder that people judge her. I think she is beautiful and naturally thin. I barely weigh 100 lbs at 5’7 and I’ve always been this way. Fat people like to accuse me of being anorexic because they are jealous. Maybe she’s just in really good shape and sorry- guys do like her and she IS sexy- get over it.
Shes so pretty,but ruins it with her “thinness”. If she was just slightly more curvy people could relate to her more and she would be more successful.
If she was fat, would you be so quick to say “omg, thats UGLY!! no one likes fat girls!!!1111″ no. we have to be sensitive to over weight people because its rude to be mean to them. but when it comes to skinny people, its perfectly ok to say “OMG EWWWWW”. I’ve been skinny my whole live, no matter how much i eat or don’t eat. People are so fast to judge and be mean. It hurts our feelings. don’t just assume because you can’t be that skinney, that no one in the world be. it might just be stress or a medial problem.
key idea: no one has the right to judge someone else. You have no idea how much it can hurt them or how wrong you can be.
This culture is truly obsessed with female weight! We are constantly inundated with advisories about how ‘fat’ we are, ‘healthy’ dieting, re-touched photos of models and celebs, etc. No wonder women don’t know what to do about themselves. Brainwashing is such a subtle ploy and we all are prone to its affects. Women are NOT supposed to look like 15 year old boys! We are biologically made to have more fat then men. Get a clue! Gees, I hate the friggin’ media and designers!
Okay you guys, keira is does not have a eating disorder. She said in an interview that she comes from a very skinny family. I am super skinny and i ish i could gain weight but i cant.. so i am in her same posision she also sais she eats liek pig i beleive her because i do the same for years and it doesnt ork so get OVER it okay thanks
really i doubt keira has an eating disorder, she is just naturally very slim. i know plenty of people who are just as slim as keira, and they certainly do not have eating disorders! keira has always looked roughly this thin, so it is most likely her natural body type. besides which, if keira did have an eating disorder she would actually have gained weight first. people as slim as keira knightley that have eating disorders will actually gain weight first, because your metabolism will slow down, especially if you had a fast metabolism to begin with, causing any food that is eating to instantly be converted into fat. so honestly, i don’t believe that keira has an eating disorder, she is just very svelte.
she is asking for help, silently. Those with anorexia never feel good enough for the disease. She alludes her “family” has struggled with this and she even was proud of them saying ‘they are strong successful woman in my family; essentially saying it comes with the territory, and it does nOT. pleeeeasse its obvious
she look like she is brething in and she needs to put weight on coz she looks like a paper and she deffinatly does not look the slightest bit atractive on there
seriously, she doesn’t have an eating disorder. I know girls who are naturally that thin. (My mom and sister for that matter.) AND, the photo looks a bit out of proportion, meanng…. it’s been cropped and shaped oddly. If you look at other photo’s of Keira, she is healthy looking and naturally slim. Stupid fat people, or people who like to bash these stars on their looks but secretly hope and wish they could look like them sit here and write mean comments, to make themselves feel better. Get over yourselves, eat healthy and go to the gym. You’ll be surprised how your body transforms into a “hollywood” body. I’ve seen my cousin do it, so stfu and stop complaining about others bodies…
The 45th person to comment here is definitely right.
There are tons of people who are that thin naturally, so stop saying mean things because you all are plump.
There’s NOTHING catastrophic in being either naturally super-slim or remarkably plump.Amen.
I think she is an amazing actress, but I think she is trying too hard. She doesn’t realize that what she thinks is making her look “good” is actually making her look worse. I think some people, especially famous people, think TOO much about how they look. If she wasn’t thinking about how we thought she looked, she probablly would look a lot better. Once again, I LOVE her acting, but I just hope she can turn around her issues with what other people think, or she needs to figure out what is really “pretty”
Lots of people with green eyes posting here.
i am 5’7″ and 109 lbs- im 13yrs old- andam unnaturally thin. i hate every ounce of fat an bone on me. food reovlts me, i cant escape the brutality of the fact that im not thin, ill nevr b thin. who cares if ill never have children or die young- t ohav a child u need a husband ull never get a husband if yer fat- and fat ppl die early to- hollywoods has loaded the gun for everything i feel bout myself but the rest of the world my family has pulled the trigger= keira knightly is borderline normal weight- 5lbs thinner would b perfect- shes def. a role model 4 me
ok all u keira haters out there leave her alone.I’ve suffered from anorexia for 2 years and for you’r information it’s not a fad it’s not a trend it’s a disease.Keira may be naturally that thin or she may have a problem,if so she dosen’t need a bunch of people she dosen’t know who know nothing about her telling her how disgusting,anorexic,thin,terrible,etc she look’s
Keira is absolutely stunning, naturally thin and incredibly beautiful. I’m sure she doesn’t care that ‘men prefer curvy girls’ and all that crap; she’s happy with how she is. It must get tiring having jealous people attack her for being ‘too thin’ though. She’s an actress, it’s not her job to be a role model. It’s all too easy for parent’s to blame stars like Keira when their children get eating disorders; maybe they should look to place some blame closer to home first.
i think shes great.
There are many girls who are naturally thin, and cannot gain weight and by this feel somewhat self concious on their image. I think its great that she’s able to be naturally thin, and be totally confident and proud of her body.
I’ts a very admirable quality
The way you can tell if a woman is unnaturally thin is by looking at the size of her head. If she has that “bobble head” look, then she’s thin by starvation and NOT thin by nature. You can’t shrink your head!
I think Keira is a beautiful girl and some people are just born like that. I am, I have never weighed over 120lbs and I’m 16 years old. I love food and would never give it up for anything! My dad was tall and thin and I got his genes. I am 5’10″ and look like Keira too, as in height, weight, facial features ect. Why is everyone always so concerned about other peoples weight? LAY OFF!
really you’re all jealous. you know she’s gorgeous
It is her JOB to be judged. I know that sounds harsh but she’s chosen to work in the public eye, and this is part of the deal. Can’t people take a criticism without bringing up jealousy? It gets old.
thin girls will always be sexy.there is nothing attractive about being fat. FACE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ugry, thin girls will always be sexy. I think Keira is beautiful. I’m not naturally slim. I was never fat but never skinny as well. But I have friends who are naturally very slim. And they’re not anorexic. They it a lot, but they just have good metabolism and they’re thin. I personally don’t know if Keira is naturall slim or if she doesnt eat. But you shouldn’t judge her.
You are just comparing her to yourselves and your friends. Why do you forget that in the UK and US every 3rd person is overweight??!!
So, if you ARE overweight (even if you do not want to admit it), it does not mean that those people who are NOT overweight, are ugly or not normal.
Look at women in other countries and you will see that lots of them have the same body type like Keira.
its so sad to see thiss happen to her she so gorgeous but was much more gorgeous when she was healthy like is POTC 1… i still love her shes still completely gorgeous i lovee her but she need to eat
Would you stop posting all those nasty comments! It isn’t her fault that she’s skinny, just like it isn’t your fault that you’re fat! My cousin, 18 is even skinnier and she can’t do anything about it either because it’s genetics. Everybody has their own body, everyone’s different. All women are beautiful, curvy, fat, skinny, flat, you just have to see their beauty. And besides, Keira is not ugly, she has very nice face features, and, again, it’s not her fault that she’s so thin.
Shes grotesque and a terrible example to young girls, tho she may be naturally slim she has got skinnier and skinnier just look at her first films shes not so starved looking
its just so bizarre that these foolish females are starving themselves on purpose while many in this world have to watch their children die from lack of food.
She is really skinny, but very pretty!!! She is a really bad example to kids.
Everyone saying “guys like curvy girls,” get this into your head: EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT ABOUT BEING SEXY.
They are the reverse. They are an attempt to feel “in control” or to punish ones self for perceived “weakness.” The same with any self-abusive habit that manifests in a mentally ill person.
Don’t be so arrogant as to think any man could ever make a woman treat herself that way (and while you’re at it, don’t ignore the anorexic MEN in the world).
Only the person themselves could ever cause this much suffering for themselves.
you guys are so stupid. Keira isn’t sucking in her cheeks, she has really prominent and high cheekbones and it’s OBVIOUS that her makeup was done to accentuate them even more. She isn’t sucking her face in. Also, people always concentrate on Keira’s upper half, but what about the bottom half of her body? There’s nothing skinny about her legs. She’s just naturally flat-chested, and SO MANY GIRLS have extremely skinny arms and prominent collarbones. This entry makes me angry, because it sounds as if you’re just hating on skinny people without knowing what the hell you’re saying.
Deborah you must know some pretty homonal boys if they look like her they must be girly boys.and how would you know what a 15 year olds body looks like? i mean do you look at them and comapre them to celebs deborah your probally a pedofile if you know that much about a 15 year olds body. as far as i’m concern keira is beautiful and talented and your not so get lost
Omg. You guys are morons. Yes she is Skinny. Skinnier than most. But that dosent neccisarly mean that she has an eating disorder. Sure I wont deny that it is a possibility but Hollywood stars are constantly critiqued on the height and weight to a point where it is unrealistic. Who gives a shit really? Honestly I know several girls who are 5’5 and 90 some pounds and they are perfectly healthy. Some people have different bone structurs and metabolisms that others. Would you appreciate your entire life and carrer to be broadcast to the world. Would you appreciate assumptions being made on a daily basis. Because not only do Celebraties have skinny bodies naturally, and sometimes they take it to a new level, but we are also forgetting photoshop which can make them appear smaller and more bony. You guys have to cut these girls some slack. She is a beautiful actress with an amazing carrer and a gorgeous body. Just shut the hell up with all of your scrutany. If you dont like an actress than keep it to yourself. Just because the majority of Americans [and others] have let themselves fall pray to fast food and limited excersise and the body weight standerds have raised in weight dosnt mean skinny girls are anorexic. Get a Life.
She’s always been thin. You people are bullies. Her cheeks may be pulled in because she’s getting ready to come off with a smart ass comment. Haha! You don’t know… And don’t use the word proof until you’ve been at her house and you see her not eating or purging. She’s been thin since she got into the business. Thin does not equal an eating disorder… My dad is 6’4″ and 160 lbs… He’s never had an eating disorder in his life… He’s just an endomorph… Believe it or not, AMERICA… There is such a thing!
By the way, just because most of America is overweight, doesn’t mean that people who make a living being beautiful should be. That’s why we like to look at them… Because they don’t look like the slob next door!
There’s a difference between being small – Jane March, Joan Collins – and emaciated. Keira falls definitely into the latter category. I believe she is a very sick woman.
Firstly, to comment negatively on another person’s physical appearance is the very height of pettiness and cruelty, however unintentional. I do not believe we are equipped to accurately judge another person’s eating habits as inappropriate simply because their body appears to function differently than our own. My mother has had four children, is past fifty and at 5′ 6″ still wears a size 2, she does little more than walk, eat sensibly and do yoga on occasion. My sister and I are the same way. Some people are naturally inclined thinness. Secondly, to remark that she is anorexic, and that her appearance is what affects such conditions in young women, shows an ignorance of what anorexia nervosa really is. It is a mental illness, and frequently comes from a person’s feeling of being unable to control other aspects of their life, food then becomes the one thing they can control, and they then restrict it to an extreme. It often has nothing to do with a desire to be “thin like celebrities”, and everything to do with the need to feel in control of their bodies. Some may cite a desire to be thin as one of the factors, but simply someone may desire to be extremely thin, be preoccupied with healthy eating, and exercise religiously and not suffer from an eating disorder. To be diagnosed as anorexic one must exhibit specific sy
I think it’s sad that she’s this thin and doesn’t see an issue. I hope that someone is concerned for her other than her fans (she won’t really listen) because she really doesn’t look all that healthy.
Even if she aint anorexic, that “thin look” is UGILY. Men prefer CURVES, the curvier the better.
I think keira is beautiful and a wonderful actress and I have always admired her – though i do agree that she is scarily skinny (and this is not coming from a obese person!). She is missing a certain glow of health that she had in the beginning of her career – and you can notice the difference in her face. I just hope she can start looking the way she did before and stop conforming to ‘hollywood’ standards. Also I have some strong concerns over no 49 comments . . .
I don’t see what the issue is. It’s better than being a fat dog. I can’t understand why being thin is viewed as an issue when the real issue is all those fat people out there that don’t do anything about their obesity. There’s nothing wrong in wanting to feel beautiful. And just because someone is ultra thin doesn’t necessarily mean that person has an eating disorder. I myself in fact eat junk all day, all week and i only weigh 90lbs and I’m 5ft 3″. So if I was to eat in a healthy manner I would literally be a skeleton. This proves you cannot assume these celebs are starving themselves just because they are so thin. Btw, Keira looks beautiful in that pic.
In another interveiw she said she talked with her doctor and he told her that in order for her to reach a (eauropean) size twelve she would had to drink and eat more. You think she’s going to fill her self up with sh*t so that people can stop having a go at her?
Thats gross in my opinion. Its gross because she sucks in her cheeks to look skinnier & shes already wayy skinny. She doesn’t look healthy.
