The Hollywood Gossip: Yeah right.
Despite the actress’ remarkably brittle, slender figure, the mother of Keira Knightley insists it’s thanks to her genes, not her diet.
“She’s always been thin,” Keira’s mom, Sharman Macdonald, told Britain’s Sunday Times. “She’s her daddy’s daughter, with his long body.”

In 2006, Knightley vociferously denied that she suffered from anorexia. She soon began dating Rupert Friend, who’s some sort of actor.
