Knightley denies extreme weight loss

Actress Keira Knightley has attempted to allay fears that she has bowed to Hollywood pressures to become unnaturally skinny.

The star attended the European premiere of new film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in a revealing gold Gucci dress, prompting fans to worry about her diminishing proportions.

However, Knightley told The Times: "Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong."

"Hollywood is all about the way you look and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But if you're strong and comfortable with yourself then you're going to be fine," she added.
