It's a bit of a cliche isn't it? Actress goes out with musician… Whatever, dating a rocker certainly helps make thesp-luvvie types seem a bit more edgy (see Carey Mulligan and singer from Mumford and Son), so interesting that Keira Knightley has now been linked to Klaxons front-man James Righton… Is it all part of her Shoreditch make-over (she recently moved to 'hip' East London).
According to the Mirror, the well-bred actress has been seeing the singer after being set up by Alexa Chung (who dated James herself before bagging Alex Turner). Talking to the paper, a source blabbed:
"She [Keira] is extremely happy right now and really enjoying spending time with James.
"He’s a real rocker and a lovely guy with it and she likes that whole scene – lately she’s become far more rock and roll and has been hanging out with a really trendy crowd.
"Alexa set them up on a date as both of them were single and they hit it off straight away. Alexa’s taking all the credit for them getting on so well – she’s like Cilla Black when it comes to hooking up her friends.
"Keira’s really smitten with James but wants to just quietly get on with it and see what happens.
"Keira's been making sure things move slowly. She certainly won’t be stepping out on a red carpet with James in the near future. It’s really early days."
Hopefully this means seeig Keira backstage at festivals more often.
