British beauty Keira Knightley is shocked at tabloid reports romantically linking her to Australian musician Kaz James.
Not only does the Domino star declare the love reports wrong, Knightley says she has never met the Bodyrockers band member, let alone had a relationship with him.
In a blow to the Melbourne lad's confidence, Knightley says in the looks department James was a bit "pouty" for her taste.
"I'd never heard of him," a stunned Knightley told reporters in Los Angeles when asked about the reports. "I've never met him.
"I think it's quite shocking actually. He is quite cute and a good looking guy, a bit pouty, but a good looking guy."
Knightley first heard James' name when a reporter at the recent world premiere of Pride & Prejudice in London quizzed her about him.
"I was asked on the red carpet whether I knew this guy called Kaz," Knightley said.
"I said 'No' because I'd never heard of him.
"Then the next day it was everywhere I was dating this guy. I'd never met the man in my life."
The now London-based James, who has also been linked in the
press to supermodel Kate Moss, is a member of the popular dance
music group Bodyrockers which had the hit single I Like the Way
You
Move.
Knightley, 20, is in an on-again, off-again relationship with Northern Irish model Jamie Dornan.
