i think it was in Star Wars, although she only played Natalie Portman's body double and didn't actually act.

Bend it Like Beckham was a huge success and guarenteed her future roles.. although yes, Pirates was where everyone came to know her, since that did so insanely spectacular at the box office..

she always seems to play such different roles. I watched POTC then a few months later watched bend it like beckham on tv and never realised that it was the same actress until later when my friend pointed it out

yeh, she is really pretty. Although i did think she was prettier and better in Bend it like beckham. I never really liked natalie portman though. Keira is taller and skinnier than her right?

so is she english, american or canadian?
Keira's 5'7ft (170cm) in height and Natalie's 5'3 ft (160cm) in height (it says in her car licence........she showed it on an American talk show). Apparently, people who have seen Natalie say that she's shorter than 5'3, like 5'0 or 5'1. Oh yeah, Keira's dyslexic.

She played Queen Amidala's (Natalie Portman's character) maid or something like that. Her character dresses up, switches places with and pretends to be Queen Amidala so that Queen Amidala would not be harmed.
It was not revealed that she played Natalie Portman's character's double in Star Wars until the movie was released. It was maintained throughout the promotions that Natalie played both roles. When the movie was released, it was a surprise when it was revealed that she played Queen Amidala's double.

All celebrities look alike. It's freaky. Esp singers
She wasn't skeletal in Bend It Like Beckham. She was quite skinny in Bend It Like Beckham but not skeletal. Skinny girls face as much criticism as overweight girls do or sometimes even more. Many people consider it rude to comment about the weight of an overweight girl but find nothing wrong in insulting a skinny girl. It's so unfair.

Anyway, back to Keira. Apparently, she is bigger now. As a result of the physical training undertaken for the role of Queen Guinevere in her upcoming film King Arthur, her body is more muscular and broader. Apparently, she is unhappy about the way she currently looks. She thinks she looks big.

:uhhuh: skinny people in general face as much criticism, but it's in their face as it's not considered rude, not behind their back
