Keira to kids: Don't get famous

Tuesday, 21 August 2007

Actress Keira Knightley has warned kids who dream of the celebrity life that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

"It frightens me when kids go, 'I want to be famous'", the Pirates of the Caribbean star told the Radio Times.

"Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book, you can get into a restaurant. Go and work on the stock market."

The 22-year-old beauty also said that her looks were down to "good genes" and that stunning magazine covers are the result of hours of make-up, hairdressers and airbrushing.

"It's not me, it's something other people have created," she added.

The star, who is set to star in the adaptation of Ian McEwan's book Atonement, recently admitted that her breast size had been artificially increased for the new Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume advertisements.
