Keira Knightley 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."

The 19-year-old beauty also says she likes the flaws she has - because it makes her more interesting.

She added in an interview with Britain's B magazine: "The fashion at the moment is to be thinner as opposed to bigger. But you can't try and alter the shape you naturally are. It's just impossible. I was trying to get bigger than I naturally am for 'King Arthur', and it was really hard. It means being in the gym two hours a day. For me, it's more interesting to see the imperfections in people. You just have to be comfortable with your body."
