Keira Knightley Eats Like a Horse...

The actress' mom speaks out about her daughter's weight, or lack thereof

But her mother is simply beating a dead one.

While Keira Knightley has insisted ad nauseam that she does not—nor has she ever—had an eating disorder, the Atonement star's mom is just now getting around to reiterating what her daughter's been saying for years.

"She has always been thin," Sharman Macdonald tells the U.K.'s Sunday Times. "She eats like a horse. I always want to apologize because she eats anything that she wants and she does not put on weight."

Apology accepted there, Sharman. Now, if you could just get your daughter to apologize for that third Pirates movie, all would be forgiven.
