Originally Published 1 year ago — by Variety
Keira Knightley reflects on the public scrutiny she faced during her time in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, describing it as a period of "public shaming" that she has largely erased from her memory. Despite the franchise's success, Knightley experienced intense media pressure and speculation about her weight, which she found distressing. She credits her support system for helping her cope but has decided against participating in future Hollywood franchises due to the lack of control and demanding schedules. Knightley continues to pursue diverse roles, with her next project being the Netflix thriller 'Black Doves.'
