Pirates of the Caribbean: Keira Knightley felt “locked in” to the role

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, but one of the film’s cast members may not be celebrating the anniversary with as much gusto as viewers.

during the interview Harper’s BazaarActress Keira Knightley, who starred in the first three installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, spoke about the difficulties she had with her character and portraying her on screen:

“He was something everyone wanted. Not that he didn’t have fight in him, but it was special to go from a real tomboy, to the screens, to something very cool. The opposite.

I felt really restricted, very confined. So my next roles were trying to get away from that… I didn’t know how to express it all. I felt trapped in something I didn’t understand.”

Indeed, while she was filming Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, we also get to see Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice, Come Back to Me, Strange Coat or Domino, a pure action role. She will reprise her role as Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean – Salazar’s Revenge for a brief appearance.

I had a strange start to adulthood because I became famous at a very young age. Women are expected not to do anything in public there and I had a hard time with that. It was a real shock.

Let’s remind you that Keira Knightley started acting when she was only three years old, and she was only ten years old for her first movie role in the movie “Deadly Sins” (1995). He joined the pirate saga after making a name for himself in the 2002 comedy Joue-la comme Beckham.

The actor recently wrapped filming Boston Strangler, which will be released on Disney+ on March 17. This thriller puts her in the shoes of journalist Loretta McLaughlin, who tries to unravel the mystery of the killer’s identity.
