I love those shots of Keira with the paparazzi - the first time I've ever liked a paparazzi shot for more than showing me a nice outfit. Keira seems to handle everything so well, and is classy without being prissy and uptight.
This is from an interview with Sophia Myles (she was Isolde in Tristan + Isolde with James Franco) where Sophia talks about Keira, who she is friends with. I thought it was interesting. Thanks to Keiraweb.com for finding the article.
'God, Keira [Knightley] and I have known each other for years,' she says when I bring up her name. 'She is one of the most beautiful women. Have you met her? She is just exquisitely beautiful. Really, like, such a nice girl. If I'd had the success she's had at her age, I'd probably be in the Priory! 'But I think it's so odd, the concept of 20 grown men following a 20-year-old girl down a street, and the fact that they have cameras in their hands somehow validates their right to do that. If they didn't, you'd think, "What a bunch of pervs.'"
And some of the things they say to get reactions are so hateful. They'll pass comment on people's weight, just to get a rise, an angry facial expression that Heat can print. Keira's said they can be really nasty. But she's very strong and she's got a good family around her.'
That's cruel. It makes it even more amazing how Keira handles the paparazzi.
