Keira on her fruity fella
July 18, 2004

Keira Knightley has bad news for male admirers… her love life is going berry, berry nicely. Reclining sensually on a sofa with a bowl of ripe strawberries, Keira has spoken for the first time about her love for model Jamie Dornan - and she admits she’s fallen head-over-heels.
Keira, 19, star of new movie King Arthur says: “Jamie’s great, I’m mad about him. He keeps me sane when things get stressful and we always have fun together.”
Irish-born Jamie, 22, recently moved into Keira’s £1.5million flat in Mayfair, Central London. But despite rumours that they have been shopping for engagement rings, she she insists it’s too early to think of marriage.
Keira, who found fame in the hit films Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates Of The Caribbean, says: “I’m way too young. One day in the future, maybe, but marriage and kids are just not on my mind at the moment.”
Despite her seven-month romance, Keira admits she took a fancy to MatthewMacfadyen, who plays Darcy to her Elizabeth Bennet, in a new Pride and Prejudice film.
“He’s absolutely lovely,” Keira giggles. “He’s gorgeous, and a real gentleman. The only sad thing is he won’t be emerging from a lake dripping in water like Colin Firth did in the TV version.” Keira - once described as “the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet - wore £250,000 worth of diamonds on loan from Asprey for the King Arthur launch party.
Afterwards, she said: “I get really nervous at these things that I’ll lose a diamond or something. I keep having to tell myself, ‘This is a £10 necklace from Topshop,’ otherwise I freak out.”
