Keira Knightley’s got no doubts when it comes to her reigning title as queen of the steamy screen. While MCU star Aiden Turner (T. Vanchat in theAgents of S.H.I.E.L.DepisodeThe Magical Place)and crew might be bringing the heat in their latest Disney+ seriesRivals, Knightley’s unapologetically confident that her most extraordinary scene of passion is still untouchable.
And let’s be real — Knightley’s got some iconicbonkingcredits under her belt. While the actress praised the new show for its brilliant scenes, she’s staying cool, knowing her legendary scene set a bar so high, even superheroes might need a ladder.
Keira Knightley ComparesRivalsto Her IconicAtonementScene
Keira Knightleyis confident thatRivals, Disney+’s steamy new show, has kind of smashed her famous 2007Atonementscene right out of the water. You remember that encounter withJames McAvoyand their bonking-on-a-bookcase scene? Legendary.
But Knightley reckons Marvel star Aiden Turner’s new drama seriesRivalstake things to a whole new level. She called the sx scenes inRivals “extraordinary,” but again, they’re worlds apart from her own sx scene with McAvoy in the World War II dramaAtonement. Hers was brilliant because it was all storyboarded. She toldThe Sunday Times,
I loved every second of it. I thought they were all brilliant. The bonking is extraordinary…The most famous s*x scene that I’ve done, and the one that worked the best, was in Atonement. That was brilliant because it was storyboarded…
She added, pointing out a shift in on-screen ndity. Male ndity is now front and center, while female n*dity is taking a backseat, which she found pretty fascinating.
It’s really upped. There’s a lot of bottoms. It’s amazing. And, actually, female n*dity has gone down quite a lot, which is interesting..
Knightley’s talk aboutRivalscame as she hyped up her Netflix spy seriesBlack Doves. She stars alongside Sarah Lancashire as Helen Webb, a quick-witted spy navigating work secrets and family life. Being a mom to Edie, 9, and Delilah, 5, the actress made some career changes too. She admitted,
I couldn’t go job to job [abroad] now. It wouldn’t be in any way fair on them, and I wouldn’t want to… I’ve chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I’ve had to take a major step back.
Keira Knightley’s always been about pushing boundaries — on-screen and off — blending bold choices with real-life priorities.
Keira Knightley Opens Up About Her Love for Period Pieces and Why History Shapes Her Roles
Keira Knightley just loves a good period piece — and she’s got a solid reason. After making waves as Elizabeth Swann inPirates of the Caribbean, she stuck to historical roles likePride & Prejudice,Atonement, andThe Imitation Game. She told theLos Angeles Times,
I’ve always been fascinated with history. Having left school at 16, it’s a way that I can educate myself about that time period. I love doing the research. You learn the rules of the time period, and then you may break them. What the breaking of those rules says, I find really interesting.
She’s all about the details, especially when it comes to costumes. Like those striped socks inPride & Prejudice— every detail meant something.
We Can’t Believe Keira Knightley Has Only Seen Her $246 Million Classic Movie Just One Time, Given Its High Rewatchability
