Keira Knightley

Natasha Lyonne
The Orange Is The New Black star couldn’t hold back her rage when she was asked by an interviewer how two gorgeous women like her and her costar ‘could film scenes where they had to depict angry, fighting women.’ Natasha replied, “I feel like it’s accidentally maybe a little bit misogynistic because it’s like, “You’re so beautiful. What’s it like to have to do all that acting?”
