Speaking to The Times Keira said, "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or film posters,” said the actress.

"That was one of the ones where I said, 'OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch, because it does feel important to say it doesn't really matter what shape you are.”

Keira has previously spoken about her aversion to photoshopping after her breasts were increased considerably for the King Arthur movie poster in 2004. At the time, Keira was quoted as saying "those things aren't mine,” in regards to her new, larger bust.

"I think women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame," she continued. "It's much easier to take a picture of somebody without a shape; it simply is."

"Whereas actually you need tremendous skill to be able get a woman's shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape,”she said.
