Oscar nomination sowed confusion for ‘terrible actress’ Keira Knightley: ‘High price paid’
Keira Knightley saw Love Actually once
“What’s great about those films is that they have become people’s favorites and are rewatched over and over again,” she tells host Scott Mills. “I either didn’t see them or I only saw them once.” The 40-year-old actress talks about the Christmas classic, among other things Love actually from 2003. “I saw it at the premiere and never again after that. I think I was 18. So more than twenty years ago I saw Love actually.”
From the Pirates of the Caribbeanseries, in which Knightley played the role of Elizabeth Swann, she did not watch the third film at all. “I just think there is too much face. Very close, big face,” she jokes.
