Keira Knightley: Topless Activist

According to Keira Knightley, her recent topless photo shoot for Interview Magazine had a purpose. While promoting her latest film, The Imitation Game, Knightley spoke with The Times UK (link below) about the reason behind doing that topless shot, and it's a hell of a reason.

“I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame... It’s much easier to take a picture of somebody without a shape; it simply is. Whereas actually you need tremendous skill to be able get a woman’s shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.”

I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters, and that [shoot] was one of the ones where I said: ‘OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.’ Because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Keep those realistic, unretouched photos coming Keira, I love you just the way you are!
