" Cosmo: You showed off fancy foot work in Bend It Like Bekham Did you play soccer as a kid? Kiera: I was very sporty at school. I was captin of the girls&amp;#039; soccer team, but I still had to learn to play for Beckham, because my version of playing soccer was being fast and kicking people in the shins. I did about 10 weeks of training for the movie. C: Did you ever meet Becks? K: Last week, I was at game in Madrid and I sat behind Posh Spice, which is the cloest I&amp;#039;ve ever gotten to David Beckham. He was meant to come to the premiere in London, but he broke his foot, so he didn&amp;#039;t make it. C: Speaking of hot guys, tell me about the first time you met your Pirates of the Caribbean costar Johnny Depp. K: I was really, really nervous. We had the read-through in his club in L.A., Viper Room. When I saw him come in, I had my teenage moment. Johnny sat down next to me and turned to me and said, &amp;quot;Hey, you must be Keira.&amp;quot; He had just had his gold teeth done that day for the movie. And I just said, &amp;quot;Oh God, what&amp;#039;s happened to your teeth?&amp;quot; C: What is your favorite scene from Pirates? K: The stuff on the island with Johnny, because I can say I&amp;#039;ve been stuck on a desert island with Johnny Depp. C: What did you like most about playing Guinevere in your latest film, King Arthur? K:This film is a different take on the classic story. This is action. British women used to fight alongside the men, so it is historically accurate. Guinevere&amp;#039;s a strong woman who tries to seduce Arthur and Lancelot. That made her very interesting to play. C: She kicks a lot of butt. How much training did you do? K: When I took the role, the producers said, &amp;quot;Listen, we want you to bulk up, we want you to be a lot bigger than you are.&amp;quot; I trained about four days a week for three months before the movie, and then pretty much every day when filming started. I&amp;#039;d do an hour and a half to two hours of weight lifting, and then I would spend three hours boxing, fighting, or horseback riding, even though I never ended up riding in the film. C: You&amp;#039;re only 19 and you&amp;#039;ve already done a few nude scenes in The Hole and Dr. Zhivago TV series. Are they scary? K: No. All the people I&amp;#039;ve worked with so far have been incredibly protective. I just did another one for the movie The Jacket. I went up to John, the director, and said &amp;quot;Just make this look good, I don&amp;#039;t care.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s just part of the work. C: What&amp;#039;s your type of guy? K: Athletic but with something going on upstairs or it&amp;#039;ll never last very long. Intellligence is very important. Even if the guy&amp;#039;s not aesthetically pleasing, he can become really attractive if he&amp;#039;s smart. I also think dreadlocks are great\u2026and shaved heads. C: What&amp;#039;s your biggest turn-off when it comes to guys? K: Vanity. If a guy spends a long time in front of the mirror in the morning, you know there&amp;#039;s a problem. C: What&amp;#039;s your ideal date? K: It has to be something really stupid. The most fantastic date I&amp;#039;ve ever had was going bowling, because I don&amp;#039;t bowl and I&amp;#039;m awful. The more childlike [the activity], the more fun the date. C: What&amp;#039;s something about you that&amp;#039;s very British?  K: I haven&amp;#039;t had my teeth straightened. Aren&amp;#039;t British people known for having crooked teeth? It&amp;#039;s funny, when I was in L.A., people were like &amp;quot;Wow, your teeth aren&amp;#039;t actually that bad.&amp;quot; C: What do you do fror fun? K: I&amp;#039;ve started to cook. I make damn good lemon pie. I&amp;#039;m cooking coq au vin tomorrow and having people over. I also love art galleries and shopping. I&amp;#039;ve got a big shoe thing that I&amp;#039;m trying to curb. I paint and draw, but very badly. I also take bad photographs. C: What&amp;#039;s your biggest regret? K: Not finishing college. Left after three months\u2026I was desperately unhappy there. You have to have a backup [in this business], and I don&amp;#039;t have that, and it&amp;#039;s terrifying. But it also makes you work harder. C: What&amp;#039;s the hardest thing you&amp;#039;ve overcome in your life? K: Probably my dyslexia. Sight reading is still a big problem\u2026it&amp;#039;s always something that is quite embarrassing. I&amp;#039;m also incredibly self-conscience about my body. People send over dresses for me to wear to these functions, but I often feel like a 5-year old in my mom&amp;#039;s clothes. So I just wear jeans and a top every single time. But I&amp;#039;m gogin to try to wear a dress\u2026maybe to the King Arthur premiere. It will be a long one. I would never wear a short skirt. C: Do you work out and watch what you eat?  K: I should exercise more than I do, but I am very lazy, so I don&amp;#039;t. and I was about to say I don&amp;#039;t eat junk food, but ice cream and chocolate is pretty junky, isn&amp;#039;t it? My mom has always kept pretty healthy food in the house. We eat fresh, good food\u2026no chucking all the crap in. I would say we do eat a lot of pasta and all that kind of stuff, but I&amp;#039;m just sensible about it. I don&amp;#039;t believe in any of those crazy diets. C: What&amp;#039;s something you&amp;#039;d like to change about yourself? K: I&amp;#039;d have longer legs and bigger tits.  C: You looked pretty voluptuous in Pirates\u2026 K: The cleavage was painted in It was amazing. It took 45 minutes every single morning for the bloody makeup artist to paint it in. It&amp;#039;s all about shading. C: What&amp;#039;s your biggest girlie indulgence? K: Manicures, pedicures, and facials. I am getting into it, which is odd because I was always a tomboy. But I had to start getting facials to get all the makup off, and it felt great\u2014you feel like a lady afterward. I&amp;#039;m a big bath girl as well. When I &amp;#039;m on vacation, I&amp;#039;m running a bath. C: What&amp;#039;s the craziest rumor you&amp;#039;ve heard about yourself? K: Apparently, I&amp;#039;ve had my lips done. A journalist phoned my agent the other day and said, &amp;quot;We have photographic proof that Keira has had her lips done. We have a picture of her coming out of a plastic surgeon&amp;#039;s. My agent said, &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s 19, she hasn&amp;#039;t had her lips done. She hasn&amp;#039;t had any plastic surgery!&amp;quot; Jesus, I mean if they had been accusing me of wanting to get a boob job, I could understand that. But my lips? C: What&amp;#039;s the weirdest thing a fan has ever said to you? K: A guy in the Glasgow airport came up to me and said, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really sorry, but can I kiss you?&amp;quot; I let him. C: I&amp;#039;m sure you made his day. K: Maybe he made my day. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
