Waifer thin 22-year-old Keira Knightley is getting into the music business.
In her latest film, “The Edge of Love” – a love triangle based on the life of famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas – the almost emaciated British actress plays one of the women vying for his affections (and has a bathtub scene with her rival Sienna Miller for all the boyz out there).
At the top of the film she is seen singing “Blue Tahitian Moon” to shelterers in an Underground station during the Blitzkrieg. She is also featured in the film singing renditions of Irving Berlin’s “Maybe It’s Because I Love You Too Much” and “Drifting And Dreaming.”
“I can’t really sing,” Knightley admitted. “I had to have a few lessons, but once I started doing it, a sound emerged that wasn’t too disagreeable.”
The “Edge of Love” soundtrack will also apparently feature Suggs from Madness (“Hang Out The Stars In Indiana“) and song written by Maybury and Angelo Badalamenti sung by Siouxsie Sioux, Beth Rowley and Patrick Wolf.
The film also stars Matthew Rhys (as Thomas) and Cillian Murphy and both picture and album are expected later in the summer.
