KEIRA KNIGHTLEY ON THE COMPLEXITY OF BEING

Kiera Knightley opened about the complexity of being a modern age woman. “I read the script and I agreed with the second-wave feminists (protesting) and yet I’ve made most of my money as a model (for Channel). I go on red carpets where you’re given marks out of 10 and you have cameras up and down your body. I think that’s the complexity of being a woman in the modern age,” said Kiera while speaking to Stellar Magazine about ‘Misbehaviour’. Kiera said that modelling is a career where women make more than men. She added: “Still the No. 1 career in the world, the only one, where a woman can earn more than a man is modelling. Or prostitution. And that says everything it needs to say to young women. (It’s a big indicator) of the world we still live in, (it tells women) the way you look is more important than what you have to say or what you think.” She asserted, “I’m against this and objectification and yet it will give me the opportunity. I suddenly become visible in a world where I’m invisible, and that has merit and that has value, and I could have a better life afterwards. It’s what we’re all still grappling with,” she said.
