Keira Knightley has revealed why she now refuses to film ‘horrible’ s-x scenes with male directors.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actress has shot several s-x scenes throughout her career, in films such as Atonement, Colette and The Aftermath.
Earlier this year, Keira said that she was leaving on-screen nudity in the past after having two children.
However, she’s also put a block on filming s-x scenes directed by men.
Speaking on the Chanel Connects podcast, Keira explained: ‘It’s partly vanity and also it’s the male gaze.
‘If I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood and body [acceptance] I feel like, I’m sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker.
‘I don’t have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men.’
The 35-year-old actress continued: ‘I don’t want it to be those horrible s-x scenes where you’re all greased up and everybody is grunting. I’m not interested in doing that.
‘I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze. Saying that, there’s times where I go, “Yeah, I completely see where this s-x would be really good in this film and you basically just need somebody to look hot”.
‘So therefore you can use somebody else, because I’m too vain and the body has had two children now and I’d just rather not stand in front of a group of men n-ked.’
Keira shares children Edie, five, and Delilah, one, with Klaxons star husband James Righton.
