KEIRA KNIGHTLEY - KNIGHTLEY SHOCKED MCAVOY WITH OBSCENITIES

British actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has been shocking her ATONEMENT co-star JAMES MCAVOY by sending him obscene text messages. The star was so overwhelmed to learn of the movie's BAFTA nominations - 14 in total - last month (Jan08) she bombarded the Scottish actor with a barrage of profanities. She tells British radio station Heart, "We did text other but I was quite rude to him…. but I meant it in a loving way. "I can't remember what exactly I wrote but it involved a lot of swear words I think." Despite the film's 14 nominations, Atonement only managed to garner two wins at Sunday (10Feb08) night's ceremony, including Best Picture.
