Keira Knightley has an upcoming movie, _The Jacket_. As part of the publicity campaign she is conducting numerous interviews and one thing she has said repeatedly is that this movie will feature her first nude scene. While I’m all in favor of some Keira Knightley nudity and agree it’s a strong selling point for the movie, but we’re here seeking truth.

Knightley’s done nude scenes. She was nude in _The Hole_ and nude again in _Dr Zhivago_. Anyone interested in spending ten minutes on Google will be able to confirm these facts. So why on Earth is Knightley pretending she’s never shown her stuff on camera before? Did the invention of the VCR, the DVD player, and the Internet somehow escape her notice? Anyone interested in seeing the Knightley nipples knows the truth and anyone who didn’t care before still won’t care now.

There’s a punch line here, but I can’t quite seem to put my finger on it. So to speak.

Never heard of her.

But yeah, thanks to the OP (!) and Google, I’m now aware she has some rather nice little stargazers.

_Pirates of the Caribbean_? _King Arthur_? _Bend It Like Beckham_? _Love Actually_? _The Phantom Menace_? Okay, she had a very small part in _The Phantom Menace_, but still she’s hardly an unknown at this point.

She should have gone topless in _King Arthur_. Then the movie might not’ve sucked so much.

Her parts are very small regardless the venue. 😃

</div>

I think there’s a distinction made between “nudity” and “going topless” but then again I have a feeling she is still only topless in _The Jacket_ so who knows what she’s on about really?

Wasn’t she pretty young when she did The Hole?

According to [her IMDB link,](http://tinyurl.com/5cz5t), she was “Sabe’”, the Queen’s decoy.

Do yourself a favor and keep it this way. You’ve been warned.

Some of us prefer quality over quantity. Kiera’s look just fine…

I’m at work and therefor can’t look at stills from these other movies, but is it possible she had a body double do the nude scenes in the other movies, and The Jacket will be the first movie where it really is her?

_The Hole_ was released in 2001, possibly filmed before that. _Zhivago_ was released in 2002. Keira Knightley turned 18 on March 26, 2003. So both would probably be consider child porn in the USA if she were actually nude in them.
