Proud of figure

London, Dec. 14 (PTI): Bend It Like Beckham star Keira Knightley visited the Halcyon Gallery here to pose nude for artist Mitch Griffiths.

“It’s considered a great honour to be painted by Mitch,” a source told Daily Mail. “He is a highly respected nude painter and is painting a number of subjects for an exhibition next year. He is delighted Keira agreed to take part,” the source added.

Griffiths has been commissioned to paint a 12-feet-long canvas of 246 famous people, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Will Smith and David Bowie, which will be auctioned.
