Keira piece is Mirror image of Observer’s

By Axegrinder axeblog

The Daily Mirror boasted an exclusive interview with Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley on Monday in which, among other things, she chatted candidly about her mental state:

“Do I get upset when they say I’ve got a mental disease? Well, it is a disease, isn’t it? Self-inflicted starvation or making yourself vomit or shit to deprive yourself of food. I don’t think anyone would be particularly pleased about that. So no, no, no. I have never had a problem and I hope never to have a problem.”

Readers who also take The Observer might have felt that they were losing their minds slightly themselves.
When asked by Chrissy Iley in the Observer Magazine, on 6 May about whether she had an eating disorder, Knightley said:

“Do I get upset when they say I’ve got a mental disease? Well, it is a disease, isn’t it? Self-inflicted starvation
or making yourself vomit or shit to deprive yourself of food. I don’t think anyone would be particularly pleased about that. So no, no, no. I have never had a problem and I hope never to have a problem.”
