Keira Knightley: I'm an emotional wreck
She may have the world at her feet as one of the most beautiful and talented actors currently gracing our cinema screens, but Keira Knightley has admitted that in real life she is an "emotional wreck".
Spare a thought for her boyfriend Rupert Friend, who starred opposite her in Pride and Prejudice as the dastardly cad Wickham – apparently she is an "awful" girlfriend who bursts into tears during bust-ups with boyfriends.
"I'm awful. I always have freak-outs. I don't know why anyone puts up with me. I'm mostly an emotional wreck," she told Elle magazine.
"Anyone who has gone out with me will tell you I have this awful tendency to cry when I get angry. And I can't stop."
Even worse, her emotional outbursts kick off about the smallest things.
"It's stupid," she said. "I don't freak out about anything that actually warrants a freak-out. That I can deal with. It's the little stuff I can't deal with."
The actress also hit the headlines recently due to her tiny frame, which was revealed in a backless and practically frontless Gucci dress at the London premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
