Keira Knightley Bashes Paps and Picks On Paris

Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley reallllly doesn’t like the paparazzi. No celebrity really likes the paparazzi, but it seems like Keira has a special hatred towards them. She feels that it’s b.s when people say that it helps ones career and she manages to bring up Paris Hilton as an example.

She says, “I know that I am very lucky, but sometimes the intrusion is a very predatory force. When you are leaving your front door and paparazzi who are a lot bigger than you are shouting, ‘You’re a whore’ to try and make you cry - that obviously is not great. I am told by a lot of the paparazzi who follow me that they are helping my career but, by that logic, Paris Hilton should be the biggest box-office catch in the world and she isn’t.”

She adds “It is not good for any actor when your life becomes the story because, in your acting work, you are trying to tell a different story. What’s more, there is actual proof that if actors get too much attention, people just don’t go and see the film. That sort of over-exposure is something to be wary of.”

Paris Hilton is not such a good example because the girl has made this empire because the paparazzi started taking her pic. A good example would be Sienna Miller whose private life has become public and it really has negatively impacted her career.

Siena's career is impacted negatively because she is sleeping with a married man - Keira can't blame the paps for Sienna's stupid decisions. Keira sounds envious and bitter, and holier-than-thou.

I think she is trying to defend her friend Sienna. But the reason people call Sienna a whore is because openly cavorts with a married man and father of four children.

get a clue
She is exactly right. It's sad that people make assumptions about people they have never met because it is splashed all over media. Like little sheep to the slaughter people love to follow.

Paris is always polite with the paps and very sweet to her fans. Maybe Keira should try it sometime.

Be polite to the paps, Rosie? I wish they would follow you around incessently for a week, and see how you like it. Doesn't anyone think before they speak anymore? Not much.

I think that Keira is right and sometime she is wrong about what she says but she is right about paris becasue paris was in jail and keira was not and it is not right for people to call people like her a whore becasuse she is not one and i am on keira side with the story leave i mean it leave keira out of this and stop bringing her into this. you rock keira i think you are cool.

Keira wants publicity for her new movie. It's a cliche by now - if you need to get noticed say something about Paris Hilton.
