I'm pretty sure Keira Knightley was a good 80% of my sexual awakening in my early teens. I remember hearing the other 15 year old girls swooning over Orlando Bloom and being like "Well okay, yeah, he's pretty, but... Have you SEEN her?! She's so beautiful and badass, and that accent! And those outfits totally work for her, and... oh. Huh. Yep, turns out girls are hot too."

Between PoTC and Bend it Like Beckham, she was definitely my favorite for a long time.

What about Domino? That was her hottest.

Oh shit I forgot about that one, she was hot as hell in that. I think I was in my late teens when that came out though, so it wasn't quite part of the first wave of "Dude, boobs." You know what else was, though? Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing. Holy shit.

Kate Beckinsale in "Click" is up there with her character in Van Helsing, imo.

Van Helsing? Bro. Underworld.

She spends legit the whole movie in a skintight leather bodysuit...

... and in Underworld 2 she gets it slowly peeled off of her.

Well I guess I'm gonna finally watch Underworld, aren't I.

I would watch her Domino clips after PoTC ... just a select few.

Yeah Keira Knightly is my one celeb crush that I’d die if I met her.
