Get over it, people -- Keira Knightley says she's just skinny! She's not anorexic and not on the Nicole Richie-diet, she's just thin. The actress told the British Elle that she was devastated by the reports that insinuated she had an eating disorder and put her in the category with the other waif-like celebrities. "When all that blew up, I felt terrible," she told the mag. "It appeared that I were promoting something when I absolutely was not. I am thin because that's what I am, and I was thinner at that point because of the work I do. Nothing else." In January, just after she completed filming the final installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean triology, photos were taken of her and published in The Daily Mail, along with an article implying she lied about having anorexia. Keira sued the paper. "I had lost weight," she says. "We were filming in searing temperatures and shooting fight scenes in which you were wearing a wetsuit underneath a load of corsets, fighting with heavy weights in the water. Can you imagine a more advanced cardio workout than that done hour after hour?" She had even gone as far as to ask her doctor how to gain weight. He basically told her to follow my personal health plan -- eat junk, throw back some brewskies and don't exercise. Surprisingly, Keira was against that. "He told me that for someone of my body type to get to a [European] size 12, I would have to eat a lot of sh-- food, stop exercising and drink loads," she says. "But I don't want to have to go 'round eating crap and being really unhealthy in order for people to stop having a go at me." She says she may even quit acting over this. "I can see myself in five years or whatever just giving the whole thing up. I made a decision recently that I want a life instead." Okay, fine. Jeez, go and be skinny. More Corona for me.
