Keira Knightley: height and weight
Knightley Keira Christina Knightley was born in 1985, in the month of March, on the 26th in London Teddington. Currently height 170 cm, weight 51 kg. Bust (figure) parameters and dimensions (girth): chest volume 82 cm, waist volume 59 cm, hips volume 84 cm. Shoe size feet 39. Eye color brown. Hair color is dark brown.
As you guessed, knight is knight in English. Looks like a girl of noble birth. But her father gave her the name in honor of the Russian figure skater Ivanova Kira. And the very birth of a girl into the world is somehow specific. No, she appeared from the same place as the overwhelming majority of humanity now living on earth. But we owe the very fact of her appearance to a bet concluded between father and mother, which mother successfully won.
(Note: I can imagine how a mother, with her legs spread apart, points her index finger with the words “There! Got it?” and the losing hubby, grunting and puffing, has to pile on. Bet, blasphemy.)
Now about mom and dad. Knightley's father Will (1946-04-23, Will Knightley) is an actor in British soap operas. Mother MacDonald Sherman (1951-02-08, Sharman Macdonald) is an actress from the same opera.
Kira had (or has?) dyslexia: she could not write or read normally. But while struggling with this illness, despite everything, I studied well. There is unconfirmed information that her grandmother was anorexic. Although if you look at Kira herself...
Very similar to Natalie Portman, which Lucas took advantage of by casting both of them in Episode 1.
She starred in "Robin Hood's Daughter", "Doctor Zhivago", "Bend It Like Beckham", "Innocent Lies" with Gabrielle Anwar. In the first, second and third parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean". In King Arthur, Pride and Prejudice, Anna Karenina and Everest.
Keira had a relationship with Irish actor Del Synnott (born 1977 Del Synnott) in 2001-2003.
From 2003 to 2005 she dated Jamie Dornan (1982-05-01, Jamie Dornan) who starred in “Marie Antoinette” and the TV series “The Fall”.
From 2005 to December 2010, she dated Rupert Friend (1981-10-01 Rupert Friend), who played with her in “Pride and Prejudice” and starred in “Hitman” in 2012.
Lives with Righton Jason Nicholas (1983-09-25, James Nicholas Righton), vocalist of the British rock band Klaxons. In 2013, in May, on the 4th, they signed in the French Mazan, department of Vaclus. In 2015, in May, on the 25th day, their daughter Edie Wrighton was born.

Keira Knightley - biography
Keira Knightley was born thanks to a bet made between her parents, the famous British actors Willie Knightley and Sherman MacDonald.
The actors made a bet that if Sherman, who took up playwriting, sold her first play, then another child would appear in their family. At that time, the actors already had a son, Caleb, who was born in 1979. Sherman managed to sell the play. When Kira was three years old, she asked her parents for her to have her own agent. The parents agreed to this on the condition that Kira had to study well. Kira was so fired up by this thought that she studied everything very diligently. She knew the answers to any questions and was always ready for all lessons. She wanted to be the best in school, especially because she wanted to overcome her congenital dyslexia (reading and writing difficulties). However, in addition to studying, Kira really wanted to become a famous actress. During school holidays she attended acting classes.
When Kira was six years old, she got her own agent, and at seven she already made her debut in the film “Royal Celebration” as a little girl. By the age of eleven, her portfolio included participation in mini-TV series and TV shows broadcast on European channels, as well as small roles in the films “The Village Affair” (1994), “Innocent Lies” (1995), “Treasure Hunters” (1996) and Homecoming (1998) starring Peter O'Toole.
The actress admits that she has to fight a lot to achieve her goal: “They always tell me “no” - and I’m obsessed with constantly proving to everyone: I’m not who you think I am!”
Keira Knightley's husband - James Righton
The guy was born in one of the English cities. He learned to play the guitar from a young age. Since 2009, James became a member of one of the rock bands that became famous not only in his native Great Britain, but also in other countries of the world.
The two stars met at one of the parties. The young man was persistent. At first the girl was burdened by his attention, but after a short time they began to appear everywhere together, showing off their engagement rings.
The wedding took place in 2014. The ceremony was attended only by close relatives of the newlyweds and a few friends. The lovers spent their honeymoon on the Pacific Ocean. Keira Knightley's husband, James Righton, rented an entire island for his beloved. Every day her husband made surprises for Kira.
Lovers often spend time together. They spend every holiday in such a way that it will be remembered for a long time. For the Christmas holidays, this time they decided to go with their daughter Eda to the Mediterranean coast. Our heroine spoke about this on her Instagram page.

Yulia, 34 years old:
“I liked Kira’s diet: it’s easy to tolerate and has a minimum of prohibitions. Thanks to her, I have lost 7 kg, and I think I will repeat it in another month.”
Zhanna, 39 years old:
“I couldn’t lose weight for a very long time, and recently I accidentally came across Keira Knightley’s diet. I liked it, because I didn’t have to significantly limit myself in food, and I didn’t feel any minimal restrictions. So I lost almost 8 kg, but I hope that after repeating I will lose more weight.”
Milla Jovovich
She has always had small breasts and is considered one of the sexiest women in the world. She even went completely naked for Purple magazine, which means that she has absolutely no complexes.
