Many actresses lie about their age, at least when they're starting out. I'm not sure if Keira Knightley's people have sorted out how old she's supposed to be yet either...
It really is part of the sexism in Hollywood/society against "old" women. JC possibly wouldn't've gotten some parts if, a few years ago, studios knew that she was already in her late 30s.
I believe she probably reverted to her true age once she "made it".
She's an absolutely gorgeous woman, but I would say that she certainly looks her age. She looks like a gorgeous woman who is fast approaching 40. The two things are not mutually exclusive. Even saying "She looks 40" is interpreted as some sort of insult, when it absolutely is not. I think JC looks about 40, and if someone told me she was secret 42 or 43 I'd say that's certainly possible. But she is also a tremendously pretty, sexy lady.
