Keira Knightley is oh so prim and proper in stylish shoot for Vanity Fair (but fakes an orgasm like Meg Ryan in cheeky behind the scenes video)
Keira Knightley is the picture of elegance in a stunning new photo shoot for Vanity Fair.
But behind the scenes, the actress showed her cheeky side as she took a stab at reenacting the classic When Harry Met Sally scene in which Meg Ryan faked an orgasm in a diner full of people.
Keira was wearing a beautiful gown for the day of shooting, which featured a heavily embellished silver top with a flowing black and white graffiti style skirt.

The 29-year-old also sported dazzling diamond earrings and black peep toe heels, and had her dark hair slicked back as she was shot by photographer Jason Bell.
After posing while leaning against a table at a typical American diner, Keira decided it was the perfect location to reenact the iconic movie moment for a Vanity Fair video.
But Keira's histrionics go far beyond Ryan's original performance, as she squeals with her hands white knuckling the formica countertop.

In public: The original scene saw Sally (Ryan) demonstrating to Harry (Billy Crystal) how women fake orgasms in the bedroom
The original scene saw Sally (Ryan) demonstrating to Harry (Billy Crystal) how women fake orgasms in the bedroom.
The two, however, are not alone as they have just ordered lunch at a diner. But Sally doesn't seem to care as she begins to fake sexual pleasure while seated in the middle of the crowded restaurant.
Keira's reenactment does not show who she is performing for. Instead, once the actress had finished her bit of performance she stopped abruptly and looked smugly at her mystery dining partner.
New details regarding the filming of the original scene have emerged.
Director Rob Reiner recently told HuffPost Live: ‘Meg was nervous. Obviously you're in front of extras and all the crew members and everything. So the first few times we did it, she did it kind of weak. It was a little tepid.
‘I said, “Look, let me show you what I want,” after a few takes that weren't so good.’
Reiner, now 67, recalled how he then proceeded to teach the romcom queen how best to fake it.

‘I sat down opposite Billy [Crystal] … And I’m sitting there and I’m pounding the table and I’m going, “Yes, yes, yes.”
‘I’m doing the whole thing and then I realise I’m having an orgasm in front of my mother. And I [think] “Oh god, what have I done here.” But Meg then did it way better than I did.’
Reiner added that there really is a Katz’s Deli, where the famous moment between the two characters took place, and a sign there says: ‘This is where Harry Met Sally.’
‘From what I understand people do go there and they act the scene out,’ he said. ‘And people just go along with it.’
