Popular British actress, Keira Knightley said that every woman she knows has been flashed, groped or violently assaulted at some extend.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine, the 36-year-old actress said "And this situation is depressing," reports Sky news.

"Literally, I don't know anyone who hasn't been, in some way, whether it's being flashed at or groped, or some guy saying they're going to slit your throat, or punching you in the face, or whatever it is, everybody has," she said.

"It was when women started listing all the precautions they take when they walk home to make sure they're safe, and I thought, 'I do every single one of them, and I don't even think about it,'" she added.

In January 2021, the Pride and Prejudice actor also spoke about her issues with filming nude scenes in the internet age. She said she will not do them any longer in case they end up "on some porn site."

Keira also revealed that she is no longer interested in doing sex scenes just to appeal to men.

The renowned actress has also recently pulled out of starring in period drama "The Essex Serpent" over reported childcare concerns during the pandemic.
