Keira Knightley Has a London Date Night With Boyfriend James Righton

Allie Merriam — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 07:52:02 PDT

Keira Knightley linked arms with boyfriend James Righton for an evening out in London yesterday. Following dinner at La Bodega Negra, they stopped at London's outpost of The Box, where, along with Downton Abbey's Dan Stephens, they saw a show from pianist Jean-Philippe Rio-Py.

Keira's Interview cover and feature just came out, and in the publication she opened up about her forthcoming film, Seeking a Friend at the End of the World. She stars in the end-of-the-world comedy opposite Steve Carell. She said of the project, "Well, Steve is absolutely wonderful. I loved his work on Little Miss Sunshine. He has this amazing ability to be incredibly funny but have that pathos at the same time - sort of that crying-clown thing. The movie itself has comic moments, but it's about the end of the world, so obviously it has an apocalyptic feel to it that's not that comic, because everybody dies . . . Other than that, though, it's hilarious!"

Keira Knightley Gets Moody to Talk Spanking and Her "Russian Moment" in Interview

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 02:01:41 PDT

Keira Knightley looks edgy and glamorous on the cover of Interview magazine's April issue. The moody spread was shot by fashion photographers Marcus Piggott and Mert Alas, and features Keira in dark, sophisticated clothes from Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Balenciaga. For the accompanying interview, the actress spoke to her A Dangerous Method director David Cronenberg at her home in London, where she was fresh from wrapping Anna Karenina. Keira talked about portraying real people in films, faking a Russian accent, and how spanking is "really huge in England." Here's more from Keira Knightley in Interview:

On playing two Russian women in a row: "I'm not quite sure what that's about. I seem to be having a Russian moment. I've never even been to Russia. I didn't [do a Russian accent]."
On portraying a real person vs. a fictional one: "There's always the moral question when you're playing real people. Is it like dancing over somebody's grave? What's nice about playing somebody real is that generally there's more information about them, so a lot of the questions that you'd otherwise have to make up the answers to are already there."
On the English fascination with spanking: "I know with A Dangerous Method people liked the spanking an awful lot. [laughs] It's weird, though, with the spanking. In England, it was pretty much the only thing I got asked about. I'm not quite sure what that says about the English. . . [spanking is] really huge in England."

Seeking a Friend For the End of the World Trailer: Steve Carell Finds Keira Knightley

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:41:36 PST

In Seeking a Friend For the End of the World, Steve Carell plays Dodge, a man facing the reality that an asteroid is about the destroy the earth and he, along with everyone else, has to figure out what to do with the last three weeks of his life. For people like Patton Oswalt's character, it's sleeping with as man people as possible, but for regretful Dodge, it's love. When he meets his pixie-ish neighbor, played by Keira Knightley, she takes it upon herself to help Dodge find the girl that got away, if he helps her see her family before the world ends.

The trailer is very funny, considering its bleak subject matter (I giggled at Melanie Lynskey's character wearing all the clothes she never had a chance to wear), and Carell is the perfect leading man for the dark comedy. I'm especially curious to see what his chemistry with Knightley is like, and even though the title and what we see in the trailer implies it's just a friendship, it seems like something romantic must come up - the world is ending, after all. To watch the trailer for Seeking a Friend For the End of the World, just keep reading.

Who Had the Best Downton Abbey-Style Updo?

Jaime Richards — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:10:00 PST

Everything old is new again, and with the wildly popular success of Downton Abbey, there seems to be a rising interest in King George V-era beauty. Keira Knightley, a Brit herself, looked absolutely stunning earlier this week, donning a shiny, wavy chignon at the Dangerous Method premiere, while Ashley Greene did her own take on the century-old trend, sporting a voluminous, tossed-to-the side look. And although short styles weren't quite en vogue back in the 1910s, Katherine Heigl still managed to achieve a stylishly upper-crust coiffure by wearing her chin-length bob in a loose, twisted bun. All styles are swoon-worthy enough to bring out the smelling salts, but which one has you politely clapping the hardest?

Michael Fassbender Gets Wild at His Dangerous Method Afterparty

Allie Merriam — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:19:27 PST

Michael Fassbender was in a joking mood last night following his London premiere of A Dangerous Method! Inside 34 restaurant, he danced around with a Burberry Prorsum-clad Keira Knightley and their costar Viggo, as well as some other lucky attendees! Michael then sat at a piano to serenade the group that also included Keira's mom Sharman Macdonald. He got a piggyback ride from a friend out to his car, then proceeded to mock-fight with a group of photographers. Keira made a more low-key exit with her Klaxons musician boyfriend James Righton. It was an evening of fun during what's shaping up to be another busy year for Michael. It was recently confirmed that he'll work on another X-Men movie with director Matthew Vaughn.

Michael Fassbender Suits Up For a Dangerous Premiere With Keira Knightley

Allie Merriam — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:48:39 PST

Michael Fassbender reunited with his A Dangerous Method costars Keira Knightley, in Burberry Prorsum, and Viggo Mortensen this evening for a London premiere. The film came out in the US last Fall but is only just hitting theaters in Keira's home country. To promote the release, Keira's on the cover of GQ UK. An interview in which she discusses making the sex-themed David Cronenberg picture accompanies an equally racy photo spread. Speaking about her relationship with Klaxons musician James Righton and a recent reimmersion in work, Keira said she's in a great place. She commented, "I'm actually loving this bit right now - doing the work I'm doing, having the life I can have around it. Right now, it's really good."

We recently caught up with Keira to find out what she thought about working with Michael. Many thought Michael was overlooked when he didn't snag an Oscar nomination for his role in Shame, and Keira likely agrees. She told us of Michael's performance in Shame, "I think he's amazing . . . He's a phenomenal actor, and I think his performance in Shame is amazing. Talk about brave. I think it's wonderful."
