The British actress Keira Knightley 39, shot to stardom at age 17 when she was cast as Elizabeth Swan in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” (2003). Despite being the “biggest success” she has ever participated in, the artist remembers the “traumatic” repercussion of her body in the film .
“There was a complete exclusion [na minha mente]and then some things will come up and suddenly I’ll have a memory of it because it’s a public shame right? It’s obviously part of my psyche, given how young I was when it happened,” he told The Times of the eating disorder accusations at the time.
The Oscar-nominated actress said she was lucky to have an “incredibly loving” support network to offset the press attacks. According to Knightley, she had to face questions about her body and weight during interviews to promote the franchise.
“It’s funny when you have something that’s making you and breaking you at the same time. I was seen as shit because of them, but because they did so well, I got the opportunity to make the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for. They were the most successful films I would be in and they were the reason I went publicly humiliated . So they are in a very confusing place in my head “, he said.
When asked about the possibility of starring in a major Hollywood franchise again, Knightley spoke about the challenges of participating in productions of this magnitude.
“The hours are crazy. These are years of your life. You have no control over where you’re filming, how long you’re filming, what you’re filming,” he declared.
