No more bed scenes: Keira Knightley told why she will no longer be naked on the set
The actress, known to many for her roles in the films "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Pride and Prejudice", "Anna Karenina" - Keira Knightley, admitted that she put a taboo on bed scenes. What led her to this decision, the actress told Chanel Connects.
Great discomfort during filming
According to Keira Knightley, when she has to work with a male director, it gives her a lot of discomfort. But she is not against bed scenes if a woman is in charge of the filming. Such changes were made by Keira Knightley to the contract in 2015.
“I don’t put a complete ban on erotic scenes, but I’m not ready to work with men,” the actress admitted.
But there is another reason why Keira Knightley refuses to work with a male director when it comes to explicit scenes. The actress admitted that she is not going to contribute to the "male gaze" or, from the point of view of feminists, the portrayal of reality from the point of view of a heterosexual man.
The British actress admitted for the first time that men are filming "horrible erotic scenes where everyone is moaning and their bodies are oiled up." “Their goal is to make someone attractive,” Knightley says, which is an unacceptable farce for her.
The actress has come across a farce on the set more than once. For example, for the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" silicone pads were attached to her bust. The process of making a large breast from a small one took about 45 minutes every day.
She also adds that many films about body acceptance and motherhood should be directed exclusively by women.
