Keira Knightley has slammed the press for their obsession with celebrities and their lives.

The actress said she gets "incredibly angry" with the media and admitted she can be a "moody b*****d".

She told Elle magazine: "'What I hate is that they shove in your face: this is what you want to be. And you think, f*** that.

"I don't want it. Stop telling me I want to look like her. Stop telling me I want that life. I don't. If I want an opinion, I'll read the opinion part of the newspaper. I do not want it when I'm trying to get the facts. I get incredibly angry. It really f***s me off."

The 22-year-old recently claimed that her celebrity lifestyle is causing her to lose her soul, saying she would rather be "anonymous" than famous.
