Keira Knightley reflects on working in 'Pirates of the Caribbean'

London, June 13 (UNI) British actress Keira Knightley has opened up about the emotional complexities of her early stardom, revealing that while "Pirates of the Caribbean" brought her worldwide fame, it also earned her scathing reviews that left a lasting mark.
In a candid conversation with Vanity Fair to mark the 20th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice, Knightley reunited with co-star Rosamund Pike and revisited the whirlwind surrounding her ascent to stardom. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' had already come out, but I think in the public consciousness, I was seen as a terrible actress,” Knightley said.
“But I had this phenomenally big success with ‘Pirates.’ And I think (‘Pride & Prejudice’] was the first one that was a phenomenally big success but was also critically acclaimed. 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.”
“I got terrible reviews for it — or at least the ones I remember, or the ones that, in your 17-year-old brain, actually sink in,” she said of the 'Bend It Like Beckham' reviews.
