Natalie Portman is this you?


When I saw the cover of the movie I thought "Yet another Natalie Portman is a member of the royal family movie", during the course of the movie I still was thinking that she was Natalie Portman, and then here I discover that she was Keira Knightley!, are they clones or what?

Psh, I prefer Natalie over Keira. I think Natalie comes off as a warmer, kinder person. She's very adorable and extremely talented. To be honest, I find Keira cold, snobbish, and dull.

From the little bit I've seen on line..Keira did okay. I think Kate Winslet would have been better.

reply

Unfortunately, I think Kate Winslet was a little too old for this role.

I love both Natalie and Keira, and I think it would be amazing to see them playing sisters some day. :)

natalie is more cute while keira looks more like a runway model
Keira's cheek bones are so sharp, its as if she could line cocaine with them.

"I find Keira cold, snobbish, and dull."

And as a result much better suited to this role.

They do look alike....

but the other poster's mad if they think Keira's more beautiful than Natalie and with better teeth? AHAHA. Now I know you're having a laugh. Keira has the weirdest jutting jaw I've ever seen, not to mention her two front teeth are pushed further in than the two beside them. Her under bite makes her talk funny.

I disagree

Keira has a stunning face and a subtle cuteness to her, her features are gorgeous and work well with both light and dark hair. Natalie sort of has this bunny cuteness to her and she is pretty but I wouldn't say stunning.

She's also a much better actress. Keira Knightly is probably one of the finest British actresses of her generation (and that's saying a lot). If you want to see her act forget Pirates of the Caribbean and check out Pride and Prejudice. She was simply amazing. She also did a remarkable job in Bend it Like Beckham.

reply

Keira Knightly excels in these period pieces, however she falls flat in everything else I've seen her in except Bend it Like Beckham. Natalie Portman is good actress who seems to make crap movies but I hear good things about her in Black Swan. I think they are both pretty but in different ways. Keira has a very striking face with magnificent eyes. Natalie has just a beautiful fresh looking face. jmho

Funny you say that - Keira was actually Natalie's stand-in & double during the filming of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

They both have their faults and they're both beautiful. I actually have one of those eyewitness book on Star Wars ep 1 and I look at the pictures of Of Queen Amidala (sp?) and try to figure out which one's Keira and which one's Natalie, cuz they did alternate. It's hard

I could tell them apart. I submitted the scenes and times where they had switched Natalie out for Keira to the trivia section years ago. I'm not sure if they ever published it.

Keira Knightley has perfect teeth. I read in an interview once that she never had braces because she never needed them.

Sometimes, I wish I was a ho.
