Actress Keira Knightley is not a fan of the way her pictures are overly-airbrushed, or of the cult of celebrity as a whole. The stick-thin Knightley -- whose recent Chanel ad campaign features obviously Photoshopped boobs that she readily admits aren't hers -- hates being complimented for her looks when they aren't really hers.
"Somebody goes, 'Gosh, you're pretty.' Thanks," she said. "I've got good genes! OK, I'm on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the make-up, and airbrushes the f*ck out of me -- it's not me, it's something other people have created."
She also despises the in-depth knowledge the public has about the lives of actors because it ruins the magic of film. "I think it ruins the magic. That's why I like watching films from 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago, because I don't want to know who (the actors) are, I don't want to know their life story. I want them to be characters on the screen. The magic is in the screen, not knowing what's behind it, because that ruins the magic."
No girl, the magic is when Johnny Depp takes his shirt off. That is when the magic happens.
