Keira Knightley is said to have left the director of her latest movie exasperated after she needed seventeen takes to get just one small scene right.

 

Keira, who recently referred to herself as a "moody b*****d" is filming a costume drama entitled 'The Duchess' was unable to get to grips with a two line scene.

 

An on set source said, "Keira was clearly having a very tough day. She was filming a very simple scene, but couldn't get it right and the director finally gave up in despair".

 

The problematic sequence simply required Keira to walk down some stairs, sit next to another character and then secretly whisper something to him, finish a drink and then leave.

 

It's known that the 'Atonement' actress has been upsetting the cast and crew with her diva type behavior which included her demanding a special chair for her to relax in between takes.

 

A source said, "Keira has been very difficult".
