Keira Knightley Denies Being Anorexic

Wednesday July 5, 2006
Keira Knightley shocked fans at the UK premiere of her new flick Pirates Of The Caribbean this week and it wasn't with her outfit. Even though she looked alarmingly thin, the actress continues to deny that she suffers from an eating disorder.

"I've got a lot of experience with anorexia. My grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it. I'm not saying that there aren't people that suffer from it, I'm just not one of them," said Keira.

Is she taking a cue from Nicole Richie and her denial campaign? Keira did say that she was pleased to see the subject coming up for discussion as she hopes it will help young girls afflicted with the illness. So maybe she doesn't actually have an eating disorder, but that girl definitely needs to start eating!

Maybe Keira is not lying, maybe she isn’t anorexic, I believe what she says.

Noticed how recently (as “the nation is getting fatter”) everybody under 300 pounds is suspected to be anorexic? … just sayin’…
