Keira Knightley stripped down for the September issue of "Interview" Magazine. The 29-year-old actress gave a risque yet artistic pose for the photographer's portfolio special. The special issue would be released in six different covers, each featuring a different model. Other covers will feature Nicole Kidman, Naomi Campbell, Amber Valetta, Lea Seydoux and Daria Werbowy

Keira is seen wearing just a pair of jeans and gloves. A few strands of her wet hair are on her face. Photographer Patrick Demarchelier has captured the actress in this sexy, wet look.

In addition to posing for his camera, Keira has also interviewed Patrick for the magazine. She asked him questions about his photography techniques.

"You said something really interesting to me on the shoot 'You have to relax your face, because that's what good movie acting is, a relaxed face. It's the same thing as having pictures taken," Keira asked, as quoted by the magazine.

Patrick said that the face is supposed to be relaxed. Keira agreed as a relaxed face is needed both for good acting and good photo-shoot.

Keira is known for her thin frame. She had once said in her interview that she has been criticised a lot for her weight and this has made her decide not to encourage her future children to get into acting profession.

"Oh, 100%, I'd absolutely tell her not to. I would 150 million trillion per cent be totally discouraging of [her] doing anything like that. If the kid is going to do that then they have to do it on their own. And I would say teenage years should be done privately. You should be going out and getting unbelievably drunk, getting into ridiculous situations, making mistakes. That's what that time of life is about and we should do that privately, one million trillion zillion per cent," she said to ABC.

Keira has not let the weight talk bother her. Despite all the criticism, she has shed her clothes in several movies, including "The Edge Of Love", "Duchess", "Silk", "Atonement", "Domino", "The Jacket" and others.

Keira would be next seen opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in "The Imitation Game."
