Spare a thought for poor Keira Knightley. The actress is losing friends because they can't handle the paparazzi.

The Atonement actress is constantly in the public eye, and concedes the attention isn't good for her social life, she said, "One of them (friends) asked me if I would mind not going out with them to a restaurant one evening as they find the whole paparazzi thing alarming. I don't blame them. It can be very intimidating."

Knightley doesn't seem to be going out of her way to find new friends either. She admitted she couldn't stop laughing at her co-star Dominic Cooper while they filmed a steamy love scene in new movie Duchess.

"I couldn't stop laughing. He's a very good looking guy but he's standing there naked apart from a skin coloured nappy. It's the most unsexy thing ever. The director even had to ask if I could be a little more supportive and I had to say no - he's wearing a nappy!"

Are you sure it's the paparazzi that's losing you friends Keira?
