Is Keira Knightley anorexic?


I've just watched this movie. Keira, why so thin?!?! For God's sake you are a walking skeleton. Eat some real food already, you crazy twat. KFC, McDonald's, chicken, turkey, yummy, you name it! COME ON!

Looking so thin, she is not even sexy. What is wrong with her? Is she anorexic? I've just read an interview in which she denies it. Yeah right, liar. I'm just wondering what the reason is for being so thin. But if she denies the truth, I suppose anyone who will answer this post will not know the truth as well and can only offer me speculation.

If she was, do really think saying she's a 'twat' and 'a walking skeleton' is gonna help?

Wildcattin'...Wildcattin'. Pow! I'm gonna go.

reply

"If she was"? What other explanation is there for being so thin? I can't think of another explanation, can you Sherlock Holmes?

Who said I wanted to help her? Does she want to help me? I don't think so. Anyway, am I talking to her? NO! This is a public forum, meant to post, ask questions, and I asked a question.

There can be a lot of explanations:
a. her natural body type - or do you think Adrien Brody body type doesn't occur in women?
b. metabolic disorder;
c. sports - long runners are very thin;
d. Eating habits - some vegetarian diets have very low amounts of carbs;
e. Chemicals - some people are very thin because of smoking habits.

And by the way, I think she's gorgeous and I also think that she looks healthy.
My wife and I have two daughters. My wife has the same 120 pounds she had when she was 21, and she is a 5'8" woman... And, ignoring my protests, she eats junk food... So yeah, people can be naturally thin, and they also can be thin by other reasons than anorexia...

She's too slinny. Completely unattractive.

Because everyone should live their lives to fulfill your idea of attractiveness, right?

If the explanation is b., d. or e., then you agree with me she is so thin due to some disorder or illness, if not anorexia, another disorder like metabolic disorder, in that case I would also like to know more. I don't think Keira is a long runner, not even an amateur at that.

And by the way, I think she's gorgeous and I also think that she looks healthy.


I disagree. Yes she is pretty (her face) but her body is unnatractive, she doesn't even have breasts like most women do. She is just too thin, she doesn't look healthy, to me her looks are not natural to a woman that would have normal eating habits.

My point is some women become anorexic because they think they will be sexy that way, like top models, which is just not the truth. They have a twisted/wrong sense of reality and themselves.

reply

I can't help but notice you completely ignored option A.

reply

Cuz her body is not natural, just like someone's body who has very damaged kidneys, or lungs, due to smoking and drugs, is also not natural cuz they did something not healthy to their body.

reply

How do you know?

Are you friends with her?

Have you ever spent any time with her?

Just b/c the idea of someone not being fat is foreign to you, doesn't mean it's foreign to everyone else. My g/f is a size 0 and she eats like a horse. She doesn't smoke or do drugs. Get over yourself.

Why do you "need" this? How pathetic are you?

reply

Apparently, not as pathetic as you lol

I know cuz unlike you, I have a brain and common sense. Stay in your fantasy lala stupid land.

reply

I don't need someone to have an eating disorder to feel better about myself. Apparently you do.

I have a brain and common sense.


Agree to disagree.

reply

Get a life.

reply

I know right?

It's like he "needs" her to be anorexic to feel better about himself. (I'm assuming he's a guy, I don't think a girl would be this stupid).

reply

Is Keira Knightley anorexic?


No, unlike some women Keira has the ability to put down the fork and exercise.

here's the thing about being thin...

It is not magic.

It's not a disease.

It's doing the work.

And you know for a fact she is not anorexic, because.................?????????????????

Here's a video where she addresses that rumor and denies it. It took me all of 4 seconds to find this.

She even addressed it in the link you posted when you started this thread (that you clearly didn't bother reading). 

Some people are just thin. Just b/c you aren't doesn't mean THEY have something wrong with them. Stop projecting your insecurities onto other people.

I don't know why you choose to insult me and attack me, I never attacked you.

You are wrong, yes did I read the article I posted.

So what if she denies? You know people lie sometimes? How do you know she is not lying? Sadly, there are many liars all over the place.

reply

That's not an attack you. It's cute that you tried to turn it into one though. You attacked her. I called you out on it. Don't be a baby about it. If I remember correctly, didn't you call her a tw@t?

Eat some real food already, you crazy twat.


Then you have the nerve to cry about being "attacked". Grow up.

So what if she denies? You know people lie sometimes? How do you know she is not lying? Sadly, there are many liars all over the place.


Is that really your argument? People lie sometimes? Well guess what? People tell the truth sometimes too.


You are wrong, yes did I read the article I posted.


That may be true, but like you said, "some people lie". So maybe you didn't really read it.

reply

No, I did not attack her. This is a public forum, people talk about celebrities all the time, that's the price which comes with fame. Is she here talking to us? No. Then I didn't attack her directly.

Why do you have to try and be a wannabe white knight, tho? Are you some kind of Keira's obssessed fan, who has your bathroom walls covered in her photos?

Then you have the nerve to cry about being "attacked". Grow up.


I take it then you don't know what a sense of humor is. See, there you go, attacking me again, showing just who is the immature one here.

Is that really your argument? People lie sometimes? Well guess what? People tell the truth sometimes too.


Thanks for saying I'm right and that you are wrong. By saying that ppl tell the truth "sometimes", you agree with me that it's not all the time, thus some other times they lie. You have no way of knowing if Keira lied. I win again. Do you also believe in Santa Claus? Sadly, the greater percentage of people in the world are liars, selfish, self-centered, shallow, ignorant, dumb, scumbags.

That may be true, but like you said, "some people lie". So maybe you didn't really read it.


Thanks for agreeing with me again and letting me win this debate against you so easily. Booyah. Also, I'm not a liar. How do you like them apples?

reply

Why are you still talking?


No, I did not attack her.


Yeah you did. You called her a twat.

Is she here talking to us? No. Then I didn't attack her directly.


She may not frequent these forums but you did address her, therefore you tried to attack her.

Why do you have to try and be a wannabe white knight, tho?


B/c you are wrong and you keep talking. I have no idea why you need her to be anorexic to feel better about yourself. That's your issue. Work on it. (maybe put down the fork?)

I take it then you don't know what a sense of humor is.


How does you saying stupid things = me not knowing what's funny?

See, there you go, attacking me again, showing just who is the immature one here.


In no existing world would I ever be referred to "the immature one" if people had to give that title to one of us. Feel free to scroll up and read how mature you are, lol. Didn't you call someone you thought had an eating disorder a "twat"? Yeah, you just ooze maturity right into your sippy cup, lol.


Thanks for saying I'm right and that you are wrong.


So by saying your logic is severely flawed that means I think you are right? LOL, okay.

By saying that ppl tell the truth "sometimes", you agree with me that it's not all the time, thus some other times they lie.


Yeah, that's why your logic was stupid.

You have no way of knowing if Keira lied.


Neither do you.
Sadly, the greater percentage of people in the world are liars, selfish, self-centered, shallow, ignorant, dumb, scumbags.


I would love to see your research on that.


Also, I'm not a liar.


That's exactly what a liar would say.

I have no idea why you need this. Might I suggest getting a girlfriend? I promise if you have a girlfriend you won't need to spread rumors about people being anorexic. She says she's not. That's good enough for me. Not everyone is as fat as you.

reply

Ok troll, now you try to troll me. Do you know the difference between sense of humor and trying to attack someone? Seems like you don't.

B/c you are wrong and you keep talking. I have no idea why you need her to be anorexic to feel better about yourself. That's your issue. Work on it. (maybe put down the fork?)

Maybe cuz your stupidity level is higher than mine?

Common sense, accurate perception of reality.

I have a gf. I'm not fat. So the rest of your comment was just more cheap dumb insults towards me.... Ok, pointless and a waste of time to reply to each one of them. Get a life and a gf, fatarse.

I want to see your research. Some virgin spouting off nonsense in his mom's basement doesn't do much for me. I want to see your actual research. If you have none, just stop posting.

I have a g/f. That's why I told you to get one. It's fun.

reply

lol whatever troll, u start to bore me.

reply

Where is all of this intelligence and common sense you supposedly have? B/c it's not finding its way into your posts at all.

*EDIT - I took the ' out of the second "it's" (making it the possessive "its"). Someone with very poor grammar pointed out my mistake to me.

reply

its*

reply

Good catch.

However, your posts aren't exactly free of grammatical errors so you might not want to "go there".

Ok is actually "Okay" or "OK". Even "O.K." is acceptable, but "Ok" is not.

u is actually spelled "you".

I put very minimal effort into that, so I'm sure I could find more if you would like me to.

reply

Thanks.

Oh I want to go there.

I see you keep trolling. "Ok" or "ok" is correct, not a grammatical error. Kinda like abbreviations.

"U" is also not an error. It's a correct abbreviation of "you".

All the typos you tried to find are not typos. I win again.

reply

Oh I want to go there.


You really shouldn't.

"Ok" or "ok" is correct, not a grammatical error.


http://grammarist.com/spelling/ok-okay/

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/okay

But what do they know? They are only a million times smarter than you.

As for "u", just b/c people tolerate something doesn't mean it's "official". Try writing "u" on a term paper and see how accepting your professor is. Who am I kidding? You've never set foot inside of a college. You probably think "term paper" and "professor" are just words I made up, lol.

All the typos you tried to find are not typos. I win again.


You must really be desperate for a win.

Anyway, I'm out. You were proven wrong about Keira Knightley being anorexic. Then when you realized that you lost that you had to make it about grammar (which you also lost). I'm sensing a theme here. 

You can have the last word, princess. You clearly need it more than I do. 

*EDIT: Shocker! You did need the last word. You must not get many victories in real life. Tell your mom's basement I said "Hi". 

reply

Ok? R u done insulting and trolling, troll? Gawd I really feel sorry for ppl that have to live and put up with u.

dear nunoanjos1,

Man... How can you read what I wrote and bring up so much nonsense?

We all got it: you don’t think she is hot. No problem.

But she is not terminal ill or anorexic. She looks fine. If you think thin people are always unnatural and sick you are the one with impaired perception and biased judgment.

She ALWAYS had been thin. Your suspicions are badly founded and expressed with total lack of sensibility. The world is not measured by BMI... 20% of the population is naturally out of the "normal" patterns.

And NO, you don’t have common sense, because common sense pointed to the opposite direction of your thinking… Most of people know that someone could be heavier or very thin without been sick...

reply

Man... How can you read what I wrote and bring up so much nonsense?


Not as much nonsense as you.

We all got it: you don’t think she is hot. No problem.


We all got it: you like women without breasts. No problem. Just know that most men do find breasts sexy. If you don't, you're in the vast minority of guys. We all like sexy breasts, unlike you.

If you think thin people are always unnatural and sick you are the one with impaired perception and biased judgment.


Lol you are contradicting yourself. Read your initial comment, your a, b, c, e and d explanations. 3 of the explanations you give are due to some kind of illness or drug abuse, so you agree with me some possible explanations are illness. Thanks for proving my point.

She ALWAYS had been thin. Your suspicions are badly founded and expressed with total lack of sensibility. The world is not measured by BMI... 20% of the population is naturally out of the "normal" patterns.


So for you, there's no such thing as anorexy and anoretic people?

No, it's not about sensibility, or judging, I don't judge others. I don't care if some guy or girl is too skinny NATURALLY. But another thing is if they try to damage their own body aka anorexy. I have the right to care about her, so if I care and I'm worried, like her parents would be, that's not judging, it's wanting the best for her and for her to be healthy, stop the anorexic unhealthy habits.

There can be a lot of explanations:
a. her natural body type - or do you think Adrien Brody body type doesn't occur in women?
b. metabolic disorder;
c. sports - long runners are very thin;
d. Eating habits - some vegetarian diets have very low amounts of carbs;
e. Chemicals - some people are very thin because of smoking habits.


You have cognitive problems... How can you see 3 examples of illnesses on my list?
Natural body type, sports and be a vegetarian aren't illnesses. Smoking is legal... Even hyperthyroidism is not a illness in the way you are using it. A lot of people just live with the disorder without knowing. Normal people aren't like "OMG, I eat a lot and don't gain weight! I must see a doctor!". And for most of people who have hyperthyroidism the only symptom is the inability of getting weight...

Of course anorexia is real, as also bulimia, I just wanna point out that you can have another normal reasons. Also, since I am not fourteen or retarded, I can find a woman attractive even if she has small breasts.

BTW, Keira always have the same body. Anorexia is a maniac disorder, people who have it always think they are fat, so they keeping loosing weight until get to the hospital... If Keira should've this condition, there would be gossip or compulsory rehabilitation, and also weight loss. There are several actresses with recent severe weight loss out there, so it's funny you end up here...

I respect your "concern" about anorexia, but if I may suggest you something, attacking women on internet based upon their looks are not the best way to fight the good fight. Go find some volunteer work at your town.

Finally, please stop guessing and go study the subject before flood the internet with ignorance. Unless you are fourteen, in that case I would advise you that IMDb don't have topless photos, and that you should go to another site where debating boobs are a relevant matter.

reply

Little buddy, as for all your insults, and all the wrong things you said, I'm not childish, so I'm not going to insult you back the same way, cuz if you insult me, I insult you, like children nobody wins.

Smoking is legal...


Thanks for yet again proving my point. I know it's legal, Sherlock. But just like with anorexia, people who smoke damage their own body, damage their own health. Do you like to shoot yourself in the foot? Cuz you keep doing it lol.

I don't think he understands that some people just can't get fat. He's projecting his ability to get fat onto others failing to realize that we are all different. We have different genes. Different metabolisms. Different diets. Different exercise programs. Different jobs. Different stress levels.

Nope, he has weight issues therefore everyone that can manage their weight must be "anorexic". It's just better to block him. I spent too much time on his stupid. Once he realized he was losing he started nitpicking about grammar (while making several grammatical mistakes of his own....then arguing they weren't). Real piece of work here.

reply

I don't think so - just thin... but you already think you're right anyway, so there's no point in discussing it.

I named this thread "Is Keira Knightley anorexic?". Notice the "?". It's a question, which means I'm not 100% sure she is anorexic. Possible answers range from yes to maybe to no.

reply

People have always commented on, and quite often attacked her, for being so thin. Personally I suspect she is just naturally very lightweight. If it was anorexia then she has been so for a very long time and I suspect her health would have collapsed by now.

reply

She is pretty thin. But, in this movie, she was fine.
