Keira Knightley is best known for starring in period pieces. Case in point? The upcoming Anna Karenina.

But this beautiful actress is not exactly prim and proper. She’s been known to flash her breasts in movies and she poses in the latest issue of Allure… without a shirt on!

Knightley does have one rule about nudity on camera, however: No bottom half, she tells the magazine.

“I don’t mind exposing my tits because they’re so small,” she says. “People really aren’t that interested!”

The first part is at least true, as Keira also went topless for a Chanel Ad a couple years ago.

 

How do these poses and campaigns square with her beliefs?

Knightley, who is engaged to James Righton, is aware there’s some hypocrisy at work when she removes layers of clothing for roles or magazine spreads.

“I am a feminist,” she says. “But I clearly objectify myself – so that right there is a total contradiction to feminist principles.”

And on behalf of men everywhere, allow is to say: Thank you! Sexiest contradiction ever!
