Keira Knightley Says ‘Don’t Airbrush My Norks! Er, I Mean, Stay In School!’

After standing up for flat-chested rights (power, sister!) by commanding the makers of The Duchess not to airbrush her into busty-ness on the film’s marketing materials, Keira Knightley has now revealed she longs to feel “educated” and is reading everything in sight in an effort to catch up on lost time (she left school at 17 to star in Bend It Like Beckham and never looked back, as it were).

In an interview with Tatler magazine the 23-year-old said: ‘I am completely uneducated.

‘Not going to university did give me an incredible driving force because it leaves you with a slight chip on your shoulder.

‘It makes me feel I am going to read absolutely everything so I can prove I am not stupid.’

Surely someone can sort her out with one of those ‘honorary doctorates’ universities seem to like bestowing upon celebrities?

Ms Knightley, you best stop making me want to be your best friend – I am not in the business of acting like a 15 year old who “just knows” that if we met we’d get on like a house on fire; it’s quite unbecoming.
