‘The Duchess’ beauty, Keira Knightley believes the internet is stopping people from connecting with each other in real life.

Keira said: “I hate the internet. I find it dehumanising to constantly check emails or social sites which have become so fashionable.”

The 24-year-old actress also refuses to Google herself so she can’t get upset by criticism.

I wanted to take part in this advert for Women’s Aid because while domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it. We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.
Without the services provided by Women’s Aid, many more women could be at risk of being killed.

The 23-year-old English actressd ishes to Glamour about her pressures, her past and why she still does her own laundry

GLAMOUR: Keira is quite a glamorous name.

Keira Knightley: Is it?

GLAMOUR: Yes! Keira Knightley. You come from a theatrical family. Did they have theatrical expectations of you?

Keira Knightley: My mother is a writer and my dad’s an actor. But, no, they didn’t. I think they would have been happier if I hadn’t done the same thing as them.

GLAMOUR: Come on.

Keira Knightley: Why, come on?

GLAMOUR: You’ve done very well. So if you came home and said, I’d like to be a nurse, a kindergarten teacher, a scientist…

Keira Knightley: I think they would have been over the moon about a career that has certain securities that you certainly don’t get if you’re an actress. Nobody knows whether you’re going to do well or not.

GLAMOUR: I actually think people who are very successful are the people who knew what they wanted to do from the get-go, like you.

Keira Knightley: I don’t know, I think that puts a lot of pressure on kids who don’t know what they want to do. I think it has a bit to do with luck, too. Read the full interview on Glamour.com.

The British actress shot to international fame after playing Elizabeth Swann in the adventure trilogy, co-starring Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

The 23-year-old star, Keira Knightley said she discusses her sex life with her mother, playwright Sharman Macdonald.

She added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: “Mum and I would always talk about sex. She’d come up to my room, have me roll her cigarettes and then tell me I’d have to have one with her.

“Mum’s a bit mental in a good way. She’s this chilled-out hippy mother. My house was always the one where my brother and his mates would be drinking when they shouldn’t be.”

Keira Knightley admits she has lost touch with Sienna Miller since they filmed ‘The Edge Of Love’.

Keira, who played Vera Phillips in the Dylan Thomas biopic, revealed the pair have drifted apart, despite enjoying a close friendship on set.

She said: “I love Sienna, I think she’s a wonderful actress, but we’ve been like two passing ships in the night recently.

“I don’t think I’m very good at figuring out female friendships. I think they’re quite tricky to navigate.”

The wig Keira Knightley donned in new movie The Duchess was so heavy, according to contact music she needed a special headrest to support her neck.
The 23-year-old plays an aristocrat in the forthcoming 18th-century drama and had to wear a heavy wig as part of her elaborate period costume.
And the hairpiece was so massive, the film crew created a custom resting post to take the weight off the slender star’s shoulders.
Knightley’s co-star Hayley Atwell recalls, “I loved filming The Duchess – Keira has a great sense of humour. She had to wear this huge wig that was so heavy they made her a board that she could lean her shoulders and head against in between takes so she didn’t topple over or get neck aches.”
