Knightley denies anorexia rumors

Atonement star Keira Knightley  denies rumors that the actress was suffering from anorexia and it was told that she revealed to the press that her family members have fallen victim to this eating disorder but strongly claims that she was not anorexic.

It was during a press conference at the Claridge’s Hotel in London where she explained that “They said to me ‘How does it feel to be called anorexic?’ and I had no idea that I was. I can safely say that I’m not,”

It was that sudden change in her figure that brought the media’s attention and the public eye as well where they commented on how skinny and waif-looking Knightley has been over some period of time since she started her acting career almost six years ago.

“In a way it’s good that it’s out there and people are talking about it. It’s quite interesting because it’s normally high-achieving women who suffer from it because I guess they are control freaks.”

“I’m not saying there aren’t people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are, but I am not one of them.”
