I myself have been wondering about this for quite some time. The more I see Keira, it seems the less I see of her every time. She is scary skinny at this point, and one can’t help but wonder if there is some disordered eating happening. Here she is seen a few months ago at the 2008 Orange British Academy Film Awards in London, and it seems that she hasn’t beefed up much since. As a result, a few tongues have wagged about the possibility of an eating disorder. Gotta admit, there seems to be some merit to that. However, Keira’s mom, Sharman Macdonald, refers to anyone spreading such rumors as a ‘playground bully’ and says that her daughter is nowhere near anorexic. Sharman says Keira’s svelte figure has been inherited by her skinny dad, Will Knightley. Not sure that I’ve seen too many pics of Will Knightley, but if a man looked this thin, I’m thinking it wouldn’t be all that attractive. Sharman defends Keira heavily saying her daughter needs to eat like a horse just to maintain her low weight even, and that simply Keira is just a thin girl. Keira has apparently sought medical activekeira-knightley2 on how to put on some pounds, which should say in itself that her weight is not normal. But the advice could not have gotten very far, and Keira just says she’s naturally thin and there’s nothing she can do about it. On a side note, both Keira’s grandmother AND great-grandmother suffered from anorexia. This alone puts her at a much higher risk for the disease. So, I’m looking at her and wondering, what side of the tree does Keira really fall from?
