The mother of Keira Knightley has hit out at reports that her daughter has an eating disorder and said that she is just naturally skinny like her father.

Her mother added “It’s a playground situation that we’re looking at with the Press - it’s a form of bullying - but what can we do?”

In 2006, Ms. Knightley denied reports that she had an eating disorder and said “I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia - my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it, so I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.  But I don’t have it, I’m sure of that.”

Emma Watson, famous for her role in Harry Potter, is to be the new face of the Coco Mademoiselle perfume adverts, replacing Keira Knightly.

She’s been slowly integrated into the Chanel brand.  They have been dressing her for film premieres and parties over recent months to see if she is the right fit.  Once It became clear [that] she’s growing into a beautiful young woman [who] wears the Chanel brand so elegantly, they had to sign her up.  Chanel realises it’s important to target a young audience.”
