Keira Knightley has some thoughts about genitalia, and shes not afraid to share them.
The Colette actress reckons that while shes never wanted a penis, she believes it would be rather handy to have.
And if youve ever queued hours for a festival toilet, youll know what she means.
Keira gave her opinion on the pros and cons of having a willy while admitting that as a young girl, she thought shed grow up to be a man.
The 33-year-old told The Guardian: Almost every character Ive played has tried to break out of that image of femininity. Thats why I like period films, because its such an overt cage you put the woman in. Thats always something Ive really identified with. I feel like I sit somewhere else.

Ive never wanted a penis. Apart from to piss up a tree. Being able to do that standing up: so convenient.
You can just whip it out and whatever. But the idea of something so vulnerable swinging between my legs, I think Im all right without.

Keiras latest role is all about gender – in Colette, she plays the wife of Dominic Wests character Willy, who passes off Colettes novels as his. However, Colette soon grows tired of having the credit for her work given to a man, and also embarks on affairs with Georgia Raoul-Duval (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Mathilde de Morny (Denise Gough).
All in all, a badass, were sure youll agree.
Keira, who has a daughter, Edie, with husband James Righton, accepted her OBE earlier this month for services to drama and charity.
However, she didnt open her letter for three days, fearing it was a huge tax bill.
