Keira’s ex: She was the alpha male

Keira Knightley’s ex-boyfriend has aired the dirty laundry of their relationship, hinting that he had insecurity issues with Keira’s fame and fortune. 23-year-old Jamie Dornan reveals, “There is a big pressure when you go out with someone such as Keira. The man is meant to be the alpha in the relationship on the money and the power front and clearly I was not. You feel like you have to be dominant in other areas and that causes problems. Keira could see what I was going through. She was the one who finally said, ‘okay, that’s it, I’ve had enough’.” Keira is now dating Pride & Prejudice co-star Rupert Friend. [1 March 2006]
