Good news for all you Keira Knightley fans out there. According to People, we'll get to see Keira Knightley nude in her new film The Edge of Love. In fact, the sex scene in question wasn't even scripted as a nude scene, but Keira thought it would be better that way. And I think you'll agree with her logic:
"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 went au naturale in the period drama 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.'"
And just for the record, we've seen Keira Knightley nude, or topless in these other movies, too: Silk (2007), The Jacket (2005), Domino (2005), Doctor Zhivago (2002), and my personal favourite (and her most revealing scene), The Hole (2001), when she was only 16 years old. Yeah.
Here's Keira at the premiere of The Edge of Love, which also stars Sienna Miller, so there's another reason to go see it. No word on whether we see Sienna Miller nude or topless, but she's also got plenty of experience in that department.
Oh, and here's Keira Knightley topless in The Hole. I thought you might like these.
