Keira Knightley has complained that she has awful skin riddled with acne.
Although she is admired for her good looks, she insists that the reality is not such a pretty sight.
She said of her apparently perfect onscreen look: "I do not have good skin. I've got really awful skin.
"It's about four hours of make-up actually. And I have a very good dermatologist."
It's good of her to admit to this, her makeup artist must be amazing. She does look beautiful though even if she has a few spots and blemishes. I think she's damn good looking.

She is beautiful I think, but maybe a wee bit too thin?
And yes, it's good to see a star admitting that their flawless look is not entirely down to nature..
Keira- eat a few pies love, then you'll be sorted
Now Cameron Diaz on the other hand doesn't have good skin.
But she could be telling the truth *Sigh*.
As pelicano has already said, Cameron Diaz knows what acne is, and as far as I know she doesn't feel the need to bleat on about it. As someone who suffers from bad skin myself, I know I wouldn't be drawing attention to it!
Exactly - I certainly wouldn't be inviting people to scrutinise my skin! :eek: :rolleyes:
Of course, I've never met the girl, but it's quite easy to tell which celebs suffer from acne and which don't. These skin problems can be 'airbrushed' from movies and photo-shoots, but I've seen plenty of 'un-posed' photos of her in magazines and there's bugger-all wrong with her skin.
As mentioned by other posters here, Cameron Diaz (and even Victoria Beckham) have admitted to skin problems in the past which is noticeable.
IMO - Keira is saying this in an attempt to make women 'relate' to her.
If she is prone to spots, it's probably due to her skin crying out for a good meal - I'm sorry, but she really is far too skinny. :rolleyes:
From what I've heard elsewhere, she is a bit of an anti Barbie in real life, stuck in a Barbie body.
Never mind, I'm sure her many millions will console her!
It's a celebrity trick. They pretend they have all these awful problems when in reality they probably had a spot once when they were 12. They're rich, priveleged and have no idea what living in the real world is like. They want us to feel some sympathy with them, when all they really do is alienate us completely.
Sums it up quite well
This kind of thing always reminds me of being a size twelve teenager, and going clothes shopping with my friends (who were all either a size eight or six). I'd spend hours in changing rooms, with them prancing around in miniskirts and spray on jeans asking me "Do I look fat in this? My arse is so huge, God, I'm so fat".
That always happens to me now. "Oh I'm so fat" says my friend who's size 8! Change the size 12 to size 14 and it sounds exactly the same as me.
Not impossible, but have you ever seen her with a break-out?
