Flat-chested Keira says no to cleavage boost on poster
Updated 22:07pm on 20 Apr 2007As Keira Knightley is the first to admit, she has little to shout about in the chest department.
Ever since she arrived on the scene as a 17-year-old in the movie Bend It Like Beckham, the waif-like actress has done nothing to disguise her lack of cleavage.

Keira Knightley's bust has clearly not been altered in this promotional image for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Natural Keira, and right, enhanced for King Arthur
To her embarrassment, the publicity machine has in the past not shared her candour - digitally enhancing her bust in US posters to advertise her role in the 2004 film King Arthur, while leaving her natural look in the British versions. But now, it seems, Hollywood has learned its lesson.

Armed and gorgeous: Keira Knightley
Miss Knightley, 22, has escaped the airbrush in her role as Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. No doubt to her relief, an eight-inch wide black leather belt merely helps to emphasise her straight-up-and-down, washboard appearance.

Horray for Keira! Flat chested girls and women like me need attractive role models to help us not feel quite so "defective" and un-sexy. When so many stars are fake in every aspect, it's SO nice to see one who refuses to change who she is to fit the stereotypical poster-girl of what sexy is "supposed to be"
In another article, Kiera opened my eyes to the sad reality that US news papers - even those aimed at women - don't want women on the cover who are less than a C cup. Beautiful comes in many sizes and I'm proud of Kiera for demonstrating body pride worth emulating.

It is refreshing to see a girl happy with what nature has given her and if the guys don't like it then they can take a flying leap... good for you Keira!
