Keira Knightly on Anastasia Steele rumors
It’s the role actresses all through Hollywood are fighting for, but one actress definitely does not want to take up the role of Anastasia Steele.
Keira Knightly is a bankable name and was named as a favorite for the role of submissive and innocent 22-year-old Anastasia Steele, but the British actress has been very clear on her stance and that she would definitely not play the virginal college girl who is seduced by Christian Grey.

“Absolutely not!” exclaimed Knightly in reaction to her playing Anastasia Steele, “Just from what I’ve heard – f**k no! The hardest thing to capture about love is the actual physical intimacy between two people. The way two people behave when they are next to each other and touching each other. That’s a difficult thing to capture on film.”
After working on an emotionally intense movie like Anna Karenina, Keira is looking for something a little more light-hearted and less intense.
“I wanted to do something happy and positive and just to have a break from that,” said Knightly. It looks like doing an emotionally taxing role like Anastasia Steele is definitely not something the 27-year-old actress wants to be involved in.
Elizabeth Olsen is another actress whose name has been linked with the part of Anastasia Steele, but she’s also denied rumors about her connection to the role.
“No! No! No!” replied Olsen when asked about playing Anastasia Steele, “But it’s had a huge impact on society. Apparently rope sales have skyrocketed because women who’ve read the book are really getting into bondage, which is kind of great. It’s such a taboo for women to actually discuss sexuality without the help of Cosmopolitan.”
The list of potential actresses for Anastasia Steele remains extensive. Alexis Bledel and Twilight star Ashley Greene have hot the top spots in recent votes, with Harry Potter’s Emma Watson running not too far behind. While Keira and Elizabeth want nothing to do with Anastasia Steele, there are plenty of suitable candidates who are dying to get the role, do we have no concerns about finding the perfect Anastasia Steele.
