Keira Slams Anorexia Rumors

61. This is not genetics! There are pictures of her before she got very famous and she's slender-but healthy looking. Something has to be wrong here.

62. I absolutely love Keira! She is a gorgeous and talented girl. Lately she has become thin, but who hasn't? In hollywood, their "sexy" images are thinthinthin. I think there are some gorgeous looking women who haven't gone super thin, such as Reese Witherspoon. However, Keira is looking quite thin lately. I can just say that if she does have some kind of eating disorder, keep it on the down low and get some help. I love her and I hope she gets well.

63. People astonish me. Especially men. They are brutal to women who are not thin then clamour to trash thin women. What can one expect of a society wholly enamoured with a concept of women as sex objects,while men may look and be as vulgar an fat as they choose with no repercussions? What role can any female get if she is not young ,thin,and beautiful? Im sick to death of all of it.

64. Just saw "Dead Man's Chest" last night at the drive in with the kids.

I did not realize Keira was the SAME actress who was in the first "Pirates" movie. So thin now, no curves, very unsexy - she DOES look the part of boy-pirate now. I thought she was quite appealing in the 2003 movie.

65. Gosh. People haven`t you seen her legs? She`s the pear type, where top is bony, but legs, ankles look normal. She looks skinny, but I don`t think she`s anorexia... I know a lot of people that look like her and eat normally, in europe that is... we need some more time to get to american standards of fat and skinny. For me she just looks ok.

67. I adore her, she seems so humble and grounded and her answer was informative and I genuinly believe her. She's had that figure since before she started appearing in major film roles her body type is as it is; tiny on top with small boobs and then bigger thighs.

68. Well...ummmm...its rather an insult to the people asking the question...do you think everyone is stupid?
its obvious you dont eat, either that or you have cancer or some other life-depleting illness. At least fess up to it...you must make a lot of young girls feel like they REALLY have to be anorexic if you eat and look like that and they eat and don't. Just admit it===you could at least say something like, "well i do watch what i eat" but dont pretend like you dont have an issue when you are 90 lbs and malnourished. sheesh.

69. Keira is a talented actor who has plunged to the belief system that anorexic-bulemic-induced-skinny is the way to go. "So, Keira, way to go, girl! Keep being that example to millions of girls and women everywhere. Maybe you can pat yourself on the back for your great achievements now! Eat, woman! You need some fat on those bones! Gross!"

70. What confuses me is the way stars deny rumors of eating disorders and at the same time show up to high profile red carpet events wearing the most revealing clothing they can find. People with anorexia H A T E their bodies and do everything they can to hide themselves. I think A N O R E X I A makes headlines, period!! and lately it seems to be the ultimate in career moves. Which is sad because people who actually suffer from anorexia look to hollywood standards as their motivation to stay thin. Actresses who purposely lose weight just to stay in the spotlight make me sick.

72. Ok, first off, it's not "she's anorexia/bulimia", it's "she's anorexic/bulimic". Where did you guys go to school that you don't know the difference between a medical condition and referring to someone with it?

Secondly... Kiera has always been slender. In Bend It Like Beckham, she was pretty thin there, however you didn't see her ribs, etc. Who knows, she could have just been guilty of picking out a dress that didn't flatter her for the London show. Cut her some slack! My son is incredibly thin, eats like a horse and still can't break out of the 25th percentile for his age/height group. He also plays soccer 6 days a week and eats healthy meals. We have no idea if she's a fitness nut, and just burns calories easily. The better in shape you are, the more efficiently your body works. You can't make a blanket statement that she's in denial or hiding the fact that she's bulimic or anorexic and that "NO ONE can be that skinny without starving themselves" without sounding like a complete ignoramous! No doubt she's got the money to go to the doctor and I'm sure that if it's a problem with her, it's brought up between her and her doctor when she's seen in their office, and honestly, that's the only commentary she needs. I know my son is hypersensitive about his weight and kids say things to him in school about him being so slim, but he is always eating just to keep up with it. I think we're all conditioned to think that unless you're 20 pounds over the correct weight, you must have an eating disorder and you need to stuff your face with crappy food. A large percentage of the US is overweight (according to recent studies), and it's now the norm to be chunky. How do we justify that? Pick on the ones that are slim! I'm not talking about Lara Flynn Boylem Calista Flockhart or Nicole Ritchie- they definately DO have something going on because they've actually looked healthy at one point in the media and there was a sharp change in their appearance. Just an opinion...

73. There is a difference between thin and skeletal. Keira has taken it too far.

74. actually, guy so like seeing those things, BUT I TOTALLY AGREE ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!

75. also... I think that keira knightley is WAY more thin then nicole richey(i dont care if i spelled it wrong), in my opinoin, everyone yes everyone has a little fat (besides mabye keira), I really wish she'd go to a doctor, if people are saying shes anorexic, mabye she should go to a doctor just to check it out, they might be right (many people with an eating disorder claim that they don't have one).

i'm not saying shes anorexic, im saying she should check it out!!
