About Keira Knightley
The British beauty originally caught our attention when she was attempting to bend it like Beckham before landing a massive payday with a lead role in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Before falling in love with her as a captive of a ship full of zombie pirates, this stunning British woman attracted everyone’s attention as a soccer-playing tomboy. More so than Love Genuinely, we actually adore this stunning lady.
The Family Enterprise
The English beauty Keira was born into a family of actors; both her mother and father were playwrights and actresses. Keira made the decision to join the family company at the age of three and informed her parents that she needed her own agency.
But it took the smart toddler three more years before her parents gave in to her request. Keira got her first TV job when she was seven years old in Screen One: Royal Celebration, and at age ten, she got a bigger part in A Village Affair. She didn’t begin to make an impact, though, until she starred alongside Natalie Portman as the decoy queen Sabe in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
Keira was still unsure about acting, though. She completed her schooling in Teddington, taking breaks from her coursework to make movies. Her major break came in 2002 when she starred in the British football movie Bend It Like Beckham. She had previously appeared in Princess of Thieves (2001) and The Hole (2001). Keira joined the main cast of the Christmas smash Love Actually the next year.
Making Booty
Keira’s involvement in the multi-million dollar franchise Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2005 cemented her popularity as a household name in the United Kingdom and the United States.
When the movie made a killing at the box office, Keira, who starred as the damsel in distress Elizabeth Swann alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, became a recognized star.
Keira returned to her preferred genre, period dramas, in 2005. She won the Hollywood Film Award for Best Breakthrough Female Actor for her performance as the title character in Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice at this particular period. She returned to the role of the stunning Elizabeth Swann in the following Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Man’s Chest, a year later.
Keira later starred in Silk (2007), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007), Atonement (2007), and The Duchess (2007) after receiving positive reviews (2008). Despite her decision to leave the Pirates series after the third installment, Keira has kept herself busy with movies like Last Night and the biopic of F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and the Damned.
She is the stunning British woman who served as Chanel’s face and consistently dazzles on the red carpet.
Although we adore her in contemporary attire, she truly earns a special place in our hearts whenever she dons a hoop skirt and corset.
“Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a sh*t actress?'”
