Keira Knightley says she is fed up with being perfect.

The screen beauty is bored of being perceived as flawless and is desperate to play more roles like her troubled character in upcoming thriller 'The Jacket'.

She said: "I always think imperfection is much more interesting than the perfect.

"Everyone wants to be perfect but it's boring. It's not real. Characters who are deeply flawed are a million times more interesting to watch. You can actually identify with them."

Meanwhile, the 20-year-old star claims she is wary of moving to Los Angeles - because of the pressure to always look good.

The stunning actress says she would find it "scary" to look like a stereotypical LA babe all the time.

She said: "I honestly don't know if I could ever live in LA. I'd never say never because who knows, but at the moment I'm very happy living in London. I do enjoy visiting. I just think it's a scary place for a young girl. There are pressures to conform to a certain type - tall, blonde, thin, big breasts. You know, 'The Type' that's everywhere."
