In August Keira Knightley posed topless for Interview magazine.
It's a stark black and white photo, showing her bare breasts and torso, long wet hair, gloves and tuxedo pants, as she stared in the camera lens.
Fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier captured the 29-year-old for the magazine's September issue, themed The Photographer's issue.
In a new interview with The Times, Knightley says it's part of her quest to lead a "normal life."
She told Interview not to touch up the photos, not to photoshop her breasts.
She explains, "I think women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame."
She goes on to say, "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters. That [shoot] 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 really doesn't matter what shape you are."
It's a topic that has been nagging at Knightley for years.
Remember that 2004 King Arthur poster which was enhanced to make her chest bigger?
And in 2012, she posed topless for Allure, saying of her chest, "They always pencil in my boobs." It almost looked like they had been penciled in on the cover, but Alure Editor-in-Chief, Linda Wells said there was no touching up involved.
Knightley ponders more thoughts of nudity and her film world in an interview with Net-a-Porter, saying, "It's a difficult question. How much flesh are we meant to bare? What's appropriate?"
