Keira Knightley Says ‘I Was Seen as a Terrible Actress’ Because of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ but Then Got an Oscar Nom at 20 Years Old: ‘Quite Confusing’


Keira Knightley says she was seen as a terrible actress because of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, but then she got an Oscar nomination.

Keira Knightley reunited with her “Pride & Prejudice” co-star Rosamund Pike to celebrate the romance drama’s 20th anniversary with Vanity Fair, and she remembered what a confusing time the movie’s release was a young actor. So I remember it coming out maybe the same year, maybe around the same time as ‘Pirates 2.’ And I got the worst reviews ever for that, and then also being nominated for an Oscar at the same time— it was, in my 21-year-old head, quite confusing.” Watch Knightley and Pike’s full chat for “Vanity Fair” in the video below.
