I can be duplicitous and manipulative: Keira Knightley

The 27-year-old is aware of her more unappealing personality traits.

Actress Keira Knightley says she can very well relate to her character of Anna Karenina from the film because she feels she can be a “duplicitous and manipulative” person.

The 27-year-old is aware of her more unappealing personality traits and said that she shares the same deceptive qualities as her character from the movie – which is based on Leo Tolstoy’s 19th century tragic love story about a Russian princess who falls in love with a cavalry officer,reported Daily Mail.

“There are aspects of her that I don’t like. Then you go,’Am I any better?’ I am duplicitous and manipulative and all those things. Hopefully that doesn’t define me but they are parts of my personality,” she said.

Knightley is also a very stubborn person,but she believes this trait has helped her in her life.

“When I was very young,I was hounded by these hideous men. What they wanted was the picture of me falling out of the club. They weren’t going to get that out of me. No,I chose very,very deliberately not to,because I couldn’t bear the idea of giving in to them. It takes a stubbornness,” she added.
