Keira Knightley is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood. Her most popular roles havent given her much of a chance to prove her talent. When the latest film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice is released, Knightley in the role of Elizabeth Bennet, is going to surprise everyone who saw her as an action star in the Pirates of the Caribbean and King Arthur.
i'd have to agree with the "one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood" part. she is so effing gorgeous i've seen basically every movie she's been in, and i don't think she bad at all (then again, she's right about being your worst critic thing: my thighs are fat )
and for anyone who wants it, these are all the movies she's been in, to my knowledge:
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace - The Phantom Menace as Sabé, the queen's decoy
Princess of Thieves as Gwyn, Robin Hood's daughter
Bend It Like Beckham as Juliette "Jules" Paxton, the main character's friend
Pure as Louise, a waitress befriended by 10-year-old Paul
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl as Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter and Will Turner's love interest
Love Actually as Juliet, persuit of new husband's best friend
King Arthur as Guinevere, a religious prisoner turned warrior
The Jacket as Jackie Price, a young girl from Jack Starks past
Pride & Prejudice as Elizabeth Bennet, somewhat love interest with Mr. Darcy
Domino as Domino Harvey, supermodel turned rebel turned bounty hunter

Also, you should check out THE HOLE - a Horror/Thriller she did in 2001, which has her only real topless scene (meaning no body double - albeit the shot is only a few seconds long) - I think I read she was 16 or 17 at the time, but had allegedly had parental consent.
The movie is okay for what it is. The ending sucked, IMO!!!
Isn't she like the female Jude Law: all looks and no substance? I mean her performance in The Phantom Menace was just...OK, perhaps that's a bad example
I have a deep-seeded irrational hatred for that girl. Something about that cheeky british smile. Also, I can deal with british accents, but something about hers makes me want to put firecrackers in my ears and light the fuse. While this is a cheep shot, I think her body type is the cross between a giraffee, an 8 year old boy and an alien.

But hey, that's just me.

She makes the British aristocracy sound like your average prole after a hard night on the tiles.
DRE: Do you ever feel pressure to stay thin?
KK: ...I think that it's quite worrying now, because it's definitely a trend therefore you get people to try and force their bodies into something that it naturally isn't. I think that's terrifying, you can only do what your body can do. ..
Best Answer ever. And a very important fact.
Oh no, wait...
DRE: Would you ever get plastic surgery?
KK: Oh fuck no, I'm British. [laughs] Don't come near me with a knife!
That was the best answer ever!
Didn't really see much of her movies (well, except for Star Wars, but she's not very prominent there), but even though I prefer the rough american language, I think her british accent sure is cute... in a way.
This girl is stunningly gorgeous, and I think she's really become quite a talented actress. Let's just say I've watched Bend it Like Bekham numerous times and I could give a fuck about soccer. or umm football.

Yeah, we are. We are daft enough to re-electe a Prime Minister who continues to pursue an unwise and retrogressive campaign with evangelical enthusiasm to bestow the gift of democracy to the third world (i.e. the 'axis of evil'), with scant regard for the inevitably damaging consequnces for the people of those regions and his own electorate who will have to deal with his repugnant legacy.
