Keira Knightley in 'The Duchess'
Keira Knightley has refused to allow any enhancement of her cleavage on publicity photos for her upcoming movie, "The Duchess," Britain's Daily Mail reports.
Studio heads reportedly want to enlarge Knightley's bosom in the photos, but the actress, 23, put her foot down. "She has insisted that her figure stay in its natural state," an insider said. "She is proud of her body and doesn't want it altered."
This isn't the first time Knightley has faced this dilemma. The actress drew negative attention in 2004 with her larger-than-usual breasts in publicity stills for "King Arthur."
"Those things certainly weren't mine," Fox News quoted her as saying in 2006. According to Knightley, the studio marketing team was behind her suddenly C-cup breasts, but gave her final approval on the photos. "I was like, 'OK, fine. I honestly don't give a s---,'" she recalled.
Knightley has expressed dissatisfaction with her small bustline. "I would love to have [breasts]!" she told Britain's GMTV last year, adding, "I'm never going to get [them]. I'm naturally who I am."

Really is good for her not caving to Hollywood pressure and unrealistic expectations. I have nothing against people having plastic surgery if that is what they want to do, I just don't think that should be expected of anyone.

It's so nice to see guys not saying "She needs a boob job." Makes me very happy.

Nah. Honestly for me, that's low on the list of what makes a woman attractive.
Oh, see - I am a fan. But it's more about quality than quantity, if you know what I mean. And on her tiny body, she'd look out of proportion with big ones.

i agree. proportion is important. bigger isn't just better because they're bigger. Dolly Parton looks like a sideshow act Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Dolly Parton, but personally I think she'd be a lot prettier if there were a lot less of her.

I'm a fan of her real nose. I miss it. There was just no need to take a knife and chisel to such a pretty nose!
