In a new interview with that nice man (who we’d quite like to be our dad) Jonathan Ross, Keira Knightley described how much she enjoyed selecting a bottom double for herself in Hollywood.
It’s difficult to believe that someone with a figure like Keira’s wouldn’t want to get their flesh out at every opportunity, but the actress says she hates her bum and refuses to get it out in films.
She told Jonathan on the ITV1 show: “I did a film called Domino and, I have this policy in films where I say, ‘You can have the top half but you can’t have the bottom half,’ and it kind of works quite well.
“There was this scene in Domino where I was meant to do a bit of a strip tease and a dance with a thong on. I was just like, ‘It’s not going to happen’, so I said ‘Could you get me a bottom please?’”
If someone asked us this question we wouldn’t know where to even start with an answer, but apparently it’s quite common in Hollywood.
Keira continued: “And they said, ‘Absolutely’. So I went into a room with Tony Scott, the director, and these three women came in and just dropped their trousers and he was like, ‘Well, which one do you want?’
“How do you say to the bottom double, ‘Well I don’t want that one, that one’s crap?’ Well obviously you don’t because the woman’s standing there. You can’t be rude.
“I was just looking for one that’s around the same shape as mine, just a bit better. So there was one that was really amazing and I was like, ‘No one’s going to believe that.’
“They then go out and you discuss the bottom! It’s tricky – and you go, ‘Do I introduce myself or not, because it’s a bit weird if you don’t?’
“The girl we picked had a lovely bottom, but you don’t get a feel.”
Is it just us that found this arse-based tale fascinating? Is this what everyone gets to do in Hollywood, go around choosing all the best bits from various women for their sexy scenes? No wonder we’re all riddled with insecurity.
And, naturally, Keira also talked about how good she is at playing her teeth.
She told Jonathan: “I can do Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head. That’s the big one that people normally recognise in my repertoire.”
She played the tune on her teeth and then added: “There was this kid at primary school and he went on Jim’ll Fix It and he played his teeth on TV and he became like the biggest rock star in our school.
“So there’s a load of us from Stanley Junior School that can play our teeth.”
To be fair, that is something we can actually relate to. Everyone in Somerset where we live can play their forehead. You just have to open your mouth and knock your head while changing the shape of your lips. Is that weird? Probably. Sorry.
