English actress Keira Knightley poses nude for artist

English actress Keira Knightley has reportedly stripped off to pose naked for an acclaimed artist.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actress, who bared all to film a bath scene with Sienna Miller in their 2008 movie The Edge of Love, has allegedly been shedding her clothes during sessions at London's Halcyon Gallery for Mitch Griffiths, reports heraldsun.com.au.

"It's considered a great honour to be painted by Mitch. He is a highly respected nude painter and is painting a number of subjects for an exhibition next year. He is delighted Keira agreed to take part," said a source.

Keira Knightley: 'I Detest Unnecessary Nudity'

Keira Knightley doesn't go nude for no reason! The actress talks about the nude scenes in her film 'The Duchess' and says she wouldn't have done the scenes if she wasn't comfortable. "I detest unnecessary nudity and what it says about women in society."

Keira tells Glamour magazine, "I think you see a lot of films where, oh, yes, the woman gets her [breasts] out again and runs around naked for no reason. And you kind of go, Ugh, do we have to? [laughs.]"

In 'The Duchess,' Keira plays the role of Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, who was the distant relative to the late Princess Diana.

Keira Knightley's Mom: 'I Don't Mind if She Strips On-screen'

Keira Knightley's mom isn't fussed if her daughter strips-off for the cameras.

Playwright Sharman Macdonald -- who worked with Keira on hit film The Edge Of Love -- revealed she didn't bat an eyelid when her daughter peeled off for a romp.

She said, "Keira stripping and taking part in nude sex scenes doesn't bother me.

"It might bother some mothers - but not me."

Keira, 23, recently revealed that she has no qualms about appearing in the buff, insisting nudity has even become a habit of hers.

She said, "I always bare my breasts. It's not like it's only in this film!"

So when Edge Of Love filmmaker John Maybury requested her to remove her bra, she was happy to oblige: "I said, 'All right then.'

"It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they've got bras on."

Keira Knightley's funny seduction

Keira Knightley says the best way to get her into bed is to make her laugh.

The actress - who stars in upcoming movie 'The Edge of Love', which is about Welsh poet Dylan Thomas - finds a good sense of humour very attractive in a man.

She said: "I think people get laughed into bed, don't they?"

Although Keira doesn't think the late Dylan Thomas was a good looking man, she can understand why women were attracted to him because of his wonderful poetry.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actress - who stars opposite Matthew Rhys, who portrays Dylan, in the movie - explained to Total Film magazine: "Dylan Thomas did s**g around but you look at pictures of him and he was no hunk. However, his poetry is extraordinary. He's a mischief-maker, a puck. He just wants to prod and see what happens.

"There is a spirit and a sexiness to Matthew Rhys' Dylan that's quite dangerous because you know he's a s**t. But that doesn't mean he's not attractive. Do you think only nice blokes get girls into bed?"

Keira Knightley's Secret To Bigger Boobs

Keira Knightley’s is known for having a flat chest, so when her Elizabeth Swan’s tiny breasts spilled over her tight corset, something seemed odd. Well now Keira has admitted the secret to her Pirates Of The Caribbean character’s bigger boobs – make up.

The 22 year old revealed her cleavage enhancing session in the make-up room took 45 minutes every morning before filming on the movie started. Shadows would be applied to her skin to give the illusion of fuller breasts.

The technique used to be all the rage throughout Hollywood but is being killed of as the popularity of silicone enhancement grows.

Speaking about her transforming boobs, Keira says: "They painted my tits on me for the films, which is extraordinary because it's kind of a dying art form - in the past, they used to have whole sections of the studios devoted to bosom make-up.

"And I loved it, completely loved it. Because it was the first time in my life I had big tits, and I didn't even need surgery.”

Keira Knightley was shown how to pleasure James McAvoy

Keira Knightley was shown how to pleasure James McAvoy for their steamy sex scene in 'Atonement'.

The Scottish actor - who plays Keira's love interest Robbie in the Oscar-tipped movie - says the highlight of filming the romantic epic was hearing his co-star being instructed in the art of manual stimulation.

James told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Being there while Keira Knightley was being told to w*** me off was a high point."

Director Joe Wright added: "Absolutely no comment. I can't believe he told you that!"
The 22-year-old actress admitted that while she enjoyed shooting the raunchy romp in the library scene, she did need some guidance on what to do.

Keira said: "It was the sex scene, which I have to say I think is a really good sex scene. But it was such a specific thing and it had to be so erotic that we did just say to Joe, 'Come on, talk us through it.' "

Keira Knightley 'loves' posing naked

Actress Keira Knightley enjoys stripping off for photo shoots so much, she fears she'll become a nudist.

The Pride And Prejudice star posed nude with Scarlett Johansson for the cover of Vanity Fair last year and can currently be seen baring nearly all in an advertising campaign for Chanel perfume. But the 22-year-old is worried her exhibitionist ways will cause her to ditch clothes entirely in the future.

Knightley says, "I don't know why it happened this way. People ask me to pose naked and I just say yes. I find it vaguely liberating.

"I hope I don't become a nudist, but I'm definitely on my way."

Knightley kisses, and tells who's best

Keira Knightley has kissed some serious heartthrobs, but her current leading man gets the gold star. "James [McAvoy] is the best kisser ever!" a giggling Knightley said of her "Atonement" co-star

The photogenic duo are in Venice for the film festival there. He's married, by the way. Knightley has kissed Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, but she dubbed McAvoy the best. He didn't rate her lip-lock, but did say: "I was blown away by Keira.

The amount of poise and grace she has is just incredible." In "Atonement," based on the Ian McEwan novel,

Knightley plays an upper-class beauty in love with the housekeeper's son, played by McAvoy.

Keira Knightley Is Relieved To Be Done With Pirates

Movie star KEIRA KNIGHTLEY is "relieved" to be taking on a new role in latest movie ATONEMENT, because it's more of a challenge than her part in the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN series.

The Pride and Prejudice actress stars alongside James McAvoy as star-crossed lovers in the movie, which is based on the Ian McEwan novel.

And the English beauty is grateful for the new role, because it has more depth than that of her Pirates character, Elizabeth Swann.

She tells British film magazine, Empire, "This is such a relief. Not that I don't enjoy all that Pirates stuff, but it's not about my character - it's about Johnny (Depp)'s character.

It's not focusing on emotional turmoil. It's been great just to get my brain engaged. "

Keira Knightley Is Dirty

We love Keira Knightley and her delightful "Fuck You" attitude. She's kind of like Amy Poehler's one-legged trailer-trash character who always says, "Yeah, I farted. Jealous?" We can definitely see Keira breaking wind during an especially intense Orlando Bloom makeout scene and thinking it's the sexiest damn thing she's ever done. Plus, it would add to the heady aroma she's cultivated:

“I don’t shower enough. My natural smell is rather musky. Coco Mademoiselle is the first women’s perfume I’ve ever worn. I need something clean.”

Yes, Keira, Coco Mademoiselle may have a scent that can be described as "clean," but that doesn't mean it's a substitute for actually cleaning yourself. So, to tally up Keira's movie-star qualities: has terrible acned skin that has to be digitally fixed in her movies, smells like flowers after they've been freshly fertilized with a big mound of cow shit, resembles the skeleton hanging in your tenth-grade science class, swears more than your Grand Theft Auto addicted nephew. Why, she's the second coming of Audrey Hepburn for sure!
