Keira Knightley wears a hat to disguise herself when she goes out and about.
The 29-year-old actress enjoys sporting some headgear when she pops out with her husband James Righton and admitted the pair find it a lot easier to get on with normal activities, such as arguing about who is going to do the shopping, when she is anonymous from celebrity-spotters.
When asked if she puts a hat on to disguise herself when she goes out, she replied: "Yep. That is exactly it, you can hide in a crowd quite easily.
"It’s lovely. I love it. [We] can argue about who is doing the shopping. It’s great."
While the brunette beauty has a penchant for hats, she wasn’t as endeared to the cardigan and shoes she had to wear for her latest movie, ‘The Imitation Game’, in which she portrays Joan Clarke, the former fiancée of computer scientist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), who helped crack Nazi Germany’s Enigma code during World War II.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, she added: "It’s all in the cardy [cardigan] and the shoes. The shoes were uncomfortable, that helped, and the cardy … there’s something about that really heavy, itchy knit.
"It was so thoroughly itchy. I suffered for my art, I suffered for my cardigan."
Keira shot to fame as female footballer Jules Paxton in 2002 movie ‘Bend it like Beckham’ – which told the story of a women’s soccer team in London – and the Hollywood star has called for further female sports films to be made because she thinks there aren’t enough around.
She said: "I think what is extraordinary is it’s still very much on its own in the genre. We don’t have many female sports movies. We still don’t.
"That was made in 2002 so we’re talking over a decade ago. It’s amazing that it’s still one of the only ones that are about that topic.
"I still get really little girls who are watching it for the first time and loving it and responding to it so much. Where are the girls sports movies?"
