This affects her current route: "I didn't say 'absolutely forbidden', but... It's also a bit of a sentiment for men (i.e. a bit of a 'never shoot nude by a male director')". She said she "didn't want to make those bad scenes anymore" and said she was very uncomfortable acting on the male gaze.

She also said that there are some passion scenes in movies, she saw the script and understood that it should be very good to shoot, but all that is needed is "a sexy looking actor", "then, you go to someone else to act", not necessarily her: "I have a very high opinion, and I already have two children, I don't want to stand in front of a group of men to shoot this kind of scene." 」 ”
Knightley said that she did not completely refuse to make nudity scenes, saying that if it was a film about motherhood and acceptance of her body, she would be willing, but she would only accept such a film directed by a woman, and the other party must be a woman who understands the physical and psychological transformation before and after becoming a mother.
