Keira Knightley has said she hates “dehumanizing” social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star said: “I hate the Internet. I find it dehumanizing to constantly check emails or social sites which have become so fashionable.” But the 24-year-old actress admits to being “obsessed” with TV soap Emmerdale and US medical show Nip/Tuck.
In an interview to promote her film The Duchess, she also insisted: “I am not a celebrity. I don´t go home or out with my friends saying I´m a celebrity, and I don´t ask to be treated like a queen.”
“My mum and dad would not like that.”
A number of other stars have also expressed their distain for the web. Hip hop star Busta Rhymes recently claimed social networking sites are “dehumanizing people.”
Those who have tried to appear in step with online trends have often found themselves caught out. Australian actor Hugh Jackman had to apologise and admit his Twitter account was updated by a member of his staff in the US after one of his postings confused the name of the Sydney Opera House.
