Keira Knightley has been receiving products for female baldness for weeks after revealing how she has resorted to using wigs in films because the hair dye was making her hair fall out.
Her revelation was largely misinterpreted by the internet to mean that Knightley was wearing wigs in her everyday life.
But while this misunderstanding lit-up the internet, Knightley, who does not have personal social media accounts (the actress joined Twitter for 12 hours in 2013 before deleting it because “it made me feel a little bit like being in a school playground and not being popular and standing on the sidelines"), was oblivious. The only thing that did flag up on her radar was the number of hair-loss products she was being sent.
This flurry of gifts recently bestowed upon her was explained by The Cut, after one if its journalists tentatively asked her about how she was dealing with her loss. Then a lightbulb went on in Knightley's head:
“Wait. I have received a big box of things for female baldness, and I had no idea what that was about.
“Thank you. You have cleared this up, because I can’t tell you how many boxes of hair loss stuff — and there are many on the market — I have at home. And I was like, Wait, does someone know something that I don’t? Am I like bald? Thanks for clearing that up. I was so confused! I wear wigs for films. Which is a great thing and has saved my hair, because when you are on a film set and they are doing your hair everyday and dying it a million different colours, it does tend to fall out.”
