is one of the most popular British actresses in the world. She started her career when she was less than 7 years old, in the TV series “Screen One”, and later appeared in many productions on the small and big screen. He has also received various prestigious awards and nominations, including two statuettes for his role in the cult films “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game”.
How old was Keira Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean? The role completely changed her life
Although Knightley had already achieved success on screen, the biggest breakthrough in her career was undoubtedly in 2003. At that time, the first part of the cult film, titled “The Curse of the Black Pearl”, directed by Gore Verbinski, was released, in which she played the rebellious daughter of the governor of Port Royal, Elizabeth Swann. Although the role alongside such stars as Jonathan Pryce brought the then 18-year-old actress international popularity and a huge fan base, it also caused her to be perceived through the prism of the heroine she created on screen. – Elizabeth Swann was the object of everyone’s desire. Not that she didn’t have a lot of courage in her. But it was interesting when I went from being a real tomboy to being seen as the opposite – in a recent interview with espaniof.com. But that’s not the end.
After the premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean”, Knightley was pigeonholed. This is how he remembers it years later
There is no doubt that the production achieved a stunning box office success, attracting crowds to cinemas. In Knightley’s case, however, this did not translate into further professional offers, as there were fewer of them and she was put into a pigeonhole for some time. – I felt very limited. I felt stuck, she recalled in the same conversation. – Later roles were about trying to break out of that. I had no idea how to express it. I felt like I was locked in a cage, she said bitterly.
Despite this, she decided to star in subsequent films in the series and today she admits that she does not regret it at all. The difficulties she had to face on the set only shaped her character and thanks to them she understood that it was only up to her whether she would turn it into a success or rest on her laurels and fail. – I am amazed at my 22-year-old self because I would like to have a little more of it. And it’s only when I stop being like that that I realize how extraordinary she was. But it has its price: fatigue – concluded the star.
