The lover Kiera never met

Keira Knightley.

Keira Knightleysays she is shocked at tabloid reports romantically linking her to Australian musician Kaz James from Bodyrockers.

Knightley says she has never met James, let alone had a relationship with him.

In a blow to the Melbourne lad's confidence, Knightley says in the looks department James is a bit "pouty" for her taste.

"He is quite cute and a good-looking guy, a bit pouty, but a good-looking guy."
