In an interview with The Times, Knightley stated that she was more comfortable with n-dity in the past, but as she has grown older and become a parent, her perspective has changed. Although she is happy with her body, she no longer feels the need to expose herself that much.
As a result, Knightley has opted for a body double in her place. The selection process for the double is quite intriguing, as it involves finding someone with a body similar to hers but better. Knightley retains final approval over the edit.
According to Female First, Knightley had previously experienced a mental breakdown when she was 22, after losing confidence due to criticism about her career and changing physique.
Despite gaining fame as a teenager with notable roles in films such as 'Bend It Like Beckham,' 'Love Actually,' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' she revealed that the constant judgment and criticism broke her down. Knightley is married to musician James Righton.
