You might remember the time when Keira Knightley posed topless before the lens of Patrick Demarchelier, roughly two months ago. Keira has revealed to The Times that she did so in order to show the world what she really looks like—totally unedited.
The actress said, "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters." She may be referring to the King Arthur poster, where her boobs were made larger, and outrage ensued. At the Interview Magazine shoot, Keira proposed, "OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch." She felt that it was important to say "it really doesn't matter what shape you are." Keira's changing the way we see women in photographs, one or two boobs at a time.
