Knightley felt like superwoman in new ad

Hollywood actress Keira Knightley felt like she was playing a superwoman when she shot on a bike for an advertisement for fashion brand Chanel.

The 25-year-old - the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance - talks about her experience in a teaser of the ad to be released in full Monday, reports dailymail.co.uk .

"Nobody said exactly what it was going to be like. I knew that it was something about a motorbike, and I knew that it was going to be beige. They said, 'Sort of catsuit', and I said, 'OK'. It was completely unexpected. It's a Chanel superwoman, I think," Knightley said in the voiceover of the teaser video.

The "Pirates of the Carribbean" actress is shown in a beige catsuit standing next to a vintage motorbike, and she looks stylish and chic.

Knightley shot for the campaign in September 2010, when she was pictured zooming around the Place de la Concord in Paris.

In the teaser video, the actress appears as though she tried hard to concentrate when she rode the bike, but it doesn't seem like she actually drove it around.

She was towed on a trailer as a camera captured close-ups of her face, and a stunt woman was also seen taking over from the actress.

Knightley has been the celebrity face of the French fashion house since 2006.

Keira Knightley refuses to keep TV in her house

London, Feb 01 – Actress Keira Knightley has revealed that she does not have a television at her home.

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star refuses to keep a TV in her house because she’s convinced she would become an addict if she had access to reality shows.

Knightley prefers to read or sketch, and is even considering cutting off her Internet connection to ensure she makes the most of her free time.

“Do you know what it is? It’s that I’m the laziest f**ker in the entire world. It’s true. And stagnation is always really, really imminent,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Elle magazine.

“I can literally just sit and not do anything for hours and hours and hours and if there is something completely mind-numbing to do, like surfing the internet or watching cr**py TV, I’ll do it and then I’ll feel s**t about myself. So I try and get rid of it,” she added. (ANI)

Keira’s shopping worries

Actress Keira Knightley still worries about spending too much money on clothes even though she knows she can afford it.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actress splashes on designer items but feels guilty about obscenely spending money on clothes, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Oh, I do like shopping, but only sometimes. The other day I wanted to buy a Burberry coat. I went into the shop, tried it on, looked at the price, nearly died, and then bought it! It was so much fun, but I still have to tell myself it’s OK to do that – isn’t that mad?,” she said.

While she enjoys the occasional spot of retail therapy, Knightley does a lot of her shopping online and says: “It makes my life so much easier.”
