Channel 4 is ramping up its film financing budget, with new films involving Danny Boyle, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan in the pipeline.
She is probably one of the best actresses of our generation to be honest. She clearly talented. She can act well and you actually believe what she is showing us. I think its been a long time since there has actually been an actress that has her talent. Nowdays we have throw away actors that can barely act, or just seem to fake for the role.
Some of her stand out performances for me are definately Bend it like beckham, pride and prejudice and definately attonement. She seems to be down to earth person. In most of her interviews she doesnt seem like shes trying to be anyone shes not. She seems relatively normal person and isnt set out to impress anyone except with her acting of course.I cant wait to see what her next movies are like!!
I love her... ;) Shes a great actor, Pirates of the Caribbean have to be the best.. oh and Atonement.
10/10
The young Keira Knightley is one of my favourite actors. I first got notice of her during "Bend it Like Beckham".
From there on her career blossomed. Being part of "The Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy really helped to make her a household name. Two of my favourite movies of her are "Pride and Prejudice" as well as "Atonement". In my opinion both movies are very similar to each other in the plot, and Keira was the best for both of them.
Keira is still very young and if she continues like this she will be one of the best actresses ever.
Brunette beauty Keira Knightley was born in 1985 in Teddington, Middlesex to thespian parents. She trained in dance from an early age and made her film debut age the age of twelve in A Village Affair (1994). George Lucas chose the 14-year-old Knightley for the part of the decoy Queen in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) due to her resemblance to Natalie Portman. She dropped out of college when offers poured in and came to greater public attention in the school thriller The Hole (2001). That same year, she gained her breakthrough role as a tomboy footballer in Gurinder Chadha's sleeper hit-comedy Bend It Like Beckham (2002). The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy of movies thrust Knightley into the Hollywood mainstream due to her memorable performance. She must be one of the greatest actresses of our time, she is hugely talented and good lookin' too.
People give Keira Knightley a hard time, but you know what? I think that she is a great actress. I mean, I could name a couple more accomplished actors, but I can see the effort. I was amazed with her acting in Pirates 3. She played a determined, confident woman with a lot of courage. I think she is absolutely gorgeous, and I don't see what the big weight issue is all about. Ok, she's skinny, now drop it. Instead of looking at this distinguished, well-mannered young girl, the press should be focusing on the flusies that party every night and are being arrested for the THIRD TIME. (Thank goodness Paris is back in jail)
Sorry if I offended anyone by saying Paris Hilton is a flusy, but c'mon, you got to admit.
bye!
