Keira Knightley on confidence, criticism and love: Life Lessons | Bazaar UK

[@cristinaxo]

What i love most about Keira is the fact that I don't think she ever tried to "fit in" she just did her thing and stayed out of the Hollywood scene and I'm so glad it worked out for her, she seems grounded and incredibly intelligent.

[@eastmeetswest3330]

So much this.

[@kevinmurray4882]

I wasn’t expecting to like this. The idea of “life lessons” from a celebrity doesn’t often appeal. But this was great. KK is smart and charming. She seems humble, in an honest and truly sincere way.

[@finalva7886]

I feel the same way. I think this is my first time to 'listen' attentively to celebritys' outlook in life.

I usually don't find these celebs life lessons genuine or touching, but this truly was inspiring. Her personality and smiles are so radiating and pure. Seriously a lovely woman, and an outstanding actress! She has some great quotes in this one. Keira Knightley is a gem. Been a fan since Pirates of the Caribbean and here I am.

[@shraddhashukla7360]

I can't get over the fact that she's so gorgeous and immensely talented yet so humble and grounded. She has been a true role model for me.🥺

[@under88Me]

She deserves some credit these days because she didn't have any (clearly evident) plastic surgery nor botox / filling treatment so she looks true to her age and herself and I like that.

[@kendallstark4302]

I was going to say that she's gotten so much better looking since the early 2000s. Her face has filled out nicely, and her confidence certainly comes through.

[@alexia8434]

For sure. But ur basically saying that she looks like she’s aged but ur making a compliment out of it by talking about plastic surgery..

[@odessa1232]

is it a bad thing to age?

[@sarae.3237]

@@odessa1232 definitely not. Some people age very gracefully where they are confident in the way they look and completely embrace their age and their looks, which is quite beautiful to see. I absolutely love to see it.

[@apbeauregard]

Hopefully she stays natural like that as she ages because she isn't all that old at the moment to where it would show much under blur lights and a camera filter. I will say botox and fillers imo almost never look good on anyone regardless of age so I really hope she has the courage to never use it. I'd rather Ppl get a face-lift than botox and fillers.

[@VTang]

Love that she showcases in natural beauty. So refreshing to see in this day and age of fillers. Not that there's anything "wrong" with fillers, but we forget what we look like naturally, and natural is the best in my opinion!

[@kiradomochi4961]

She looks the same to me. Doesn't look like she aged much at all

[@samanthasea7]

It's interesting how trends change.. 15 years ago she was criticized as looking unnatural and too skinny. Now we look at her as natural. I'm happy to see the perception of her change

[@aamnahere6250]

She is able to showcase her natural beauty because thankfully she's genetically gifted. The same people appreciating her natural beauty would find her not that pretty if we would have seen a single wrinkle on her face. Let's be honest. Our idea of natural beauty is extremely shallow which is what pushes actresses to opt for procedures along with work demands.

[@emmaphilo4049]

She still has her beauty secrets but sure, compared to Kim K she is 'natural'

[@irissupercoolsy]

i'm so obsessed with her: her acting, her personality & her eternal beauty

[@luizagustavovnasalome]

Keira is my absolute favourite actor. She's genuinely down to earth, authentic, and incredibly smart. Whenever I watch her interviews, I'm always in awe with the beautiful fusion of profoundness and whimsy of her thought process. Like, I feel there's always something "quotable" with things she say. One of the most memorable quotes that I've heard from her was when she confessed that she could sacrifice the "fame" and "publicity" that being an actor entails. What she is truly passionate about is the "acting" itself, and not the prestige and lustre it brings. She is a master of her craft. Also, she's a timeless beauty. Ugh, I love this woman so much.

[@mousenomiatadpole6437]

She and Kate Winslet basically taught me the same thing: "This is me - like it or lump it." (That's an actual Kate Winslet quote, but Keira Knightley totally paraphrases it in this.)

[@yasmine778]

She is one of the actresses that really made me feel good about myself , about my look, because I was so insecure because I'm too thin, too flat in the eyes of so many but she did make me feel so much better since a long time now and today I feel so much better about myself. Thank you !

[@RBlur]

She looks stunning, the wardrobe is amazing and her hair accessories are gorgeous. I loved her answers, loved her joyful and seriously mature perspective. This was truly special, thank you Harper's Bazar

[@angelicagonzales18]

I have a huge crush on her since the Caribbean days. Her elegance and simplicity never fades and I appreciate her outlook in life. Still, I adore her.

[@mlenorman3020]

I had a dearest friend that I lost years ago. She reminded me of Keira Knightly, and she was truly amazing in so many ways... may you live on dearest long lost friend forever. K... found serenity & peace thru the outdoors and nature. She loved to bike, hike & run. She was currently working toward a 100 mi. bike trip. She was definitely adventurous & a motivator. She made a vocation of volunteering for animals, healing, and adopting. She loved all God's creatures & was devoted to her friends & family. With her energy & vitality, she inspired those around her. She believed in others when no one else did. We all felt we did not have enough time with her. And the times we did have were blessings irreplaceable.

[@aldunlop4622]

She's right about finding people you feel comfortable with. I think the most attractive quality is quiet confidence. Not flashy, narcissistic over-confidence (which is sometimes a shield against insecurity), just quiet, gentle confidence. People who don't feel like they're trying too hard to be something they're not. There's something very honest about that. Learning to feel secure within yourself is definitely a lesson you learn through experience, a sense of self-wisdom.
