Keira Knightley on injury
Perhaps it’s no secret to anyone what kind of popularity awaits everyone who is lucky enough to star in a sensational film. Crowds of fans, new proposals for various projects and incredible attention to your person. It would seem that you only have time to bask in the rays of glory. Alas, not all of us like this.
What can we say, any introvert can get real trauma from such attention to his person. Especially if you are still a shy 17-year-old girl who, frankly speaking, is completely unprepared for the Hollywood carpet. This is exactly what happened to the Pirates of the Caribbean star .
So, Keira Knightley, speaking about the injury, admitted that it was terrible. After the success of the mentioned film, a wave of popularity covered it. But the actress at that time already had experience and even a small fan base. But, to be honest, the Pirates clearly made a splash in 2003. Moreover, it was after them that the actress began to be offered more serious roles.
“It took years of therapy”
“It was terrible for me. I’m not an extrovert at all. And therefore this level of attention, popularity… It was a heavy burden for me. In a sense, I was still a child. Nevertheless, although this was a traumatic event, it was the one that determined my entire future career ,” Kira admitted in a dialogue with reporters.
“King Arthur”, “Pride and Prejudice”, the second and third parts of the “Pirates” franchise, “The Duchess”, “A Dangerous Method”. Without exaggeration, it was the beginning of the 2000s that helped the British woman show her talent in cinema. But few people knew what suffering the actress went through. However, the celebrity does not regret filming Pirates at all.
“I’m incredibly lucky. My career is progressing the way I like. And my popularity is far from the same. Now I can cope with this kind of fame more easily, which is great. But at that time everything was not so wonderful. It took me years of therapy to understand this.”
