Robbie Williams Scared By Keira Knightley?

As we were reporting earlier, Robbie Williams confessed he fancies Keira Knightley and told Radio One's Chris he's going to hang around in the studio until Keira arrives so that he could ask her out.

But at the premiere of her new film "Pride And Prejudice", the 20-year-old actress told The Sun: "He didn't. I don't know if he was scared but he definitely wasn't there when I got there."

When asked if she would go out with him, Keira said: "I don't know, I don't know him. He's very good looking though."

Keira Knightley, born March 26, 1985, played her major part as Sabé in "The Phantom Menace", Padmé Amidala's decoy. Knightley was presumably cast because of her resemblance to headliner Natalie Portman.

Knightley is best known for her breakthrough roles in "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

"Bend It Like Beckham" was especially physically demanding for Knightley in terms of the intense football training she underwent but opened the way for her into Hollywood. Her role in the blockbuster "Pirates" cemented her up-and-coming position in international cinema.
