Keira Knightley Ready to Snap

Pirates of The Carribean actress Keira Knightley is about ready to snap and give up life in the limelight because of the pressures of being famous.
The 22-year-old British beauty has had enough of cheap quips regarding her weight and living in fear of her numerous stalkers, that she’s seriously considering a change of career for something a little more low-key.
“The celebrity thing is completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether,” Keira said.
“I couldn’t have kids in the situation I’m in now. But I could just do something else. That’s probably what’s going to happen. I’m just not so hungry any more.”
Knightley admits that she was so upset over the media’s claims she was suffering from anorexia that she asked the doctor for a diet in which she could put on weight. However, her physician wouldn’t allow it, telling her she was naturally thin and healthy.
“Basically, my body type is naturally thin. There is nothing I can do about it,” Keira explained. “I hate the fact that naturally thin women like me are becoming scapegoats for promoting a mental illness.”
I hope Keira doesn’t quit show-biz. I really like most of the movies she’s starred in (Bend It Like Beckham was great, and Pirates are just fab!), so I’d like to see her continue in the biz for a bit longer, at least.
