LONDON (AFP) - British film star Keira Knightley made no apologies for her slender figure at the European premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" in her hometown London. ADVERTISEMENT

The 21-year-old A-lister wore a revealing gold Gucci dress slashed to the waist that had some onlookers wondering if she was bowing to Hollywood pressure to be super-skinny.

"Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong," she told reporters on her way into the premiere, which was also attended by her fellow "Pirates" stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

"Hollywood is all about the way you look and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But if you're strong and comfortable with yourself then you're going to be fine."

In a BBC radio interview earlier Monday, Knightley recalled how the Hollywood premiere of "Pirates" at squeaky-clean Disneyland was alcohol-free, which she called "outrageous and really unexpected".

"I got in there and went, 'I'd like a beer please' and they said, 'Oh no, sorry, there's no alcohol in Disneyland'. I said, 'What? I'm British, are you mad?' So yes, tonight (at the London premiere) should be good."

"I enjoyed several brews at Epcot Center, German pavilion"

Try going around the pavillion-world having a pint (or two) at each country! I was in serious trouble when I staggered into that "London Pub".

These women need to start dating heterosexual men.

With her money, she can afford to buy a cheeseburger and a beer.

[D-Chivas]

What a fat cow. She needs to lose some weight. Porker.

Coulter is not THAT thin!

[Husker8877]

Those appear to be the skeletal remains of Keira Knightley.

I love lean women, totally, but not like these pumpkin-head stickwomen of Hollywood!

(And by the way, Ann Coulter is just fine by me, thanks!)

Look at that picture of Keira and compare it to the bikini photo of Nicole Richie. Lindsay Lohan is another one who has done this to herself. All three are very young.

There is a website that glorifies anorexia as something that is empowering and spiritual. I saw some of the photos that were on a news show re the website and they were really horrifying.

Keira looks really bad is this pic, she should seek help. All young girls who do this to their bodies need help.

MUCH BETTER!

Get that young woman a Tic-Tac.

Cheez! Too much time under the moonlight with Barbossa.

That man on the left plays Hugo Hurley on Lost, a delightful character! I like him a whole lot better than the pouty, skeletal Keira.

Keira Knightly is gorgeous...well, from the neck up. Somebody really needs to tell her that the concentration-camp survivor look doesn't work for her (or anybody).

I never saw the King Arthur movie she was in a couple years ago, but she looked a lot better (translation: less cadaverous) in the skimpy getup they had her in playing Guinevere, from the publicity photos I saw.

Like Ann Coulter, that woman needs a cheeseburger or three, with fries and a milkshake at each meal.

Ann is fat compared to this actress.

[Dustbunny]

Geeze, she is nothing but a bag of bones.

There are lists of acresses by bra size?

No way, I've met Ann and she's perfect in my book for her height. This other woman is down right skinny and needs a little meat added to her bones.

Disneyland must have different rules than Epcot.

Ms. Knightley hasn't been very bright in her political statements; I don't expect much from her health pronouncements either.

May I offer you something from this place? Warning: you better speak English.

[randita]

Looks much better here:

Great response!
