Keira Knightley recently revealed that she considers singing on camera more mortifying that nudity. I think I’d rather chop of my own head than do either, but I guess if I couldn’t behead myself (I hear it’s a process) I’d go with the singing. But Keira genuinely thinks nudity is easier, and says that to get through the singing part of her audition for My Fair Lady she got totally wasted first.
Singing under the influence helped Keira Knightley ace her audition for the upcoming movie remake of My Fair Lady.
"I probably did slur my words," Knightley told the U.K. edition of Glamour in its September issue about having a drink before her audition to play Eliza Doolittle. "I told [producer Cameron Mackintosh] that would be the only way I could sing in front of everyone."
However, Knightley soon realized that calming her nerves also had its drawbacks. "The problem with doing it is that alcohol dehydrates you, which isn't very helpful for singing. But they said it was alright."
And so the actress, 23, will star in the much-discussed remake of the 1964 musical movie, playing the Cockney flower girl turned society princess, played onscreen by Audrey Hepburn.

I think Keira will be great in the part. She does have an Audrey Hepburn-esq quality to her. Perhaps not the drunkenness, but who knows.
Keira sounds like she’s really at a good place in her life right now. Her career is going incredibly well, she is dating actor Rupert Friend, and she said to People, "At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I'm having a lovely time." Congrats to her on the part.
