Keira Knightley is topless in her new film — but that should come as no surprise.
“I always bare my breasts,” she said at the press conference to promote “The Edge of Love” Wednesday at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. “It’s not like it’s only in this film!”
The British actress, 23, is best known for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films; last year she showed quite a lot of skin in “Atonement.”
Referring to a scene in the wartime romance “The Edge of Love” with her onscreen husband Cillian Murphy, Knightley said: “It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they’ve got bras on.”
So when the director asked her to remove her bra, “I said, ‘All right then.’”
This isn’t the first time Keira has stripped off in a movie. The British star previously filmed steamy scenes for ‘Domino’ and ‘Atonement’.
While the actress is happy to bare her flesh on the big screen, she is terrified of singing in front of the cameras.
Keira, who has previously spoken about her reluctance to sing in ‘The Edge of Love’, is set to receive singing lessons for the role of Eliza Doolittle in the remake of ‘My Fair Lady’.
The actress is determined her vocal abilities will be in tip-top shape when she belts out the movie’s classic songs, including ‘The Rain In Spain’ and ‘Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?’.
My ‘Fair Lady’ is due to start shooting in 2010.
