Yes, I bet it's such a bitch being anywhere near little Miss Whining. I really and honestly feel sorry for James McAvoy for having to put up with Keira Knightley during the filming of their new movie "Atonement", but seeing how they were the stars playing the main characters and all, I'm pretty sure that couldn't be helped.
But I sympathize. I'm sure she was a nightmare, whining and bitching on and on about it and eventually giving poor McAvoy (who by the way I find an immensely talented actor ever since I saw him playing Macbeth in a BBC television re-enactment of the Shakespeare drama) a piece of her mind about how she doesn't think she's too thin and she absolutely hates being a star.
The fact is, looks like poor James is going to need some serious therapy to put all this behind him. I read his interview and he sure sounds a bit edgy to me. He talks about filming scenes involving sex and nudity and it does sound like little Miss I-Hate-Being-Famous made the whole thing a nightmare for him.
"It's always a nightmare, isn't it?" he said during the television interview in question. "It's never easy and it's always a little bit sweaty and uncomfortable. When they call action, if you feel the lady's breast, it's your decision to feel the lady's breast. It's like, this is wrong. You have no parameters" he says. I don't want to be rude here - or mean - but I just have to ask this...does he mean feeling Keira's natural (read that nonexistent) breasts or the photoshopped version? Don't give me that look - I'm sure there's technology available to get him to do just that. Or if there isn't any, they will surely invent it very soon just to get away from KiKi's bitching.
"What was great about Atonement was Joe Wright [the director] was very, very, very on the ball with what he wanted, so when you were doing something it was at his behest" McAvoy reveals. "We carried on and about 10 seconds later we just said very sheepishly, 'Sorry about that.'", he says referring to the moment when they shot the library scene in which his character and the character played by Knightley almost have sex. Lucky for him, it was 'almost' - and lucky he only got to touch Keira's breasts. If there had been more to it, I'm sure the poor guy would be in a retirement home just now, prematurely aged from all the whining. Lucky break for him, I'd say. All my sympathy goes out to you, James. Anyone who can live around KiKi for more than a day and not attempt to strangle her is my hero.
