Keira Knightley didn't wear a skirt until she was 14

Actress Keira Knightley didn’t wear a skirt until she was 14, as she was a ‘”tomboy” who “hated” girly clothes.

The 26-year-old – who’s currently dating Klaxons rocker James Righton – admitted, “I’ve definitely got a bit of the boyish in me. Growing up I was a tomboy. I didn’t wear skirts until I was 14. I hated them. I love a man’s shirt,” she said.

Keira – whose new movie Last Night tells the tale of a married woman who considers having an affair with a former lover – also explained she had no idea men could be capable of “emotional betrayal” until she started researching the film.

“I really thought women would find emotional betrayal worse and men would consider a physical betrayal worse,” she told in an interview.

“The number of guys I asked said it was the other way round. For them, to love another woman emotionally and not be physical was much worse.”
