Actress Keira Knightly says she feared being fired from the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film which led her to the stardom. The 29-year-old actress said she learned to work hard and keep her head down after bad press, over her weight and acting in her early career.
As source revealed that, Knightley took on the role of Elizabeth Swan in the movie, and it was the film that catapulted the actress to superstardom. However, she believed that she would not last long in Hollywood and that she would be fired from her first role.
Knightly quoted, “I remember going to Hollywood. I had only packed a small bag because I was convinced they were going to fire me”.
“Being a teenager that’s come out of sort of big blockbuster films, there was a lot of criticism. People saying, ‘She can’t act, she can’t do it. What’s the point? She’s pouty, she’s thin. Being a teenager, you do read it all. You go, 'Oh, my God, I'm that awful'," she added
After giving her incredible performance in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, the actress was seen in many movies like ‘Pride and Prejudice’, ‘Atonement’, ‘King Arthur’ and now ‘The Imitation Game’.
