Keira: I want to quit the movies
Tuesday, 8 May 2007
Pirates of the Caribbean actress Keira Knightley is finding being famous difficult and wants to quit the movies.
In an interview with Elle magazine she spoke of her fear that her children would have to deal with the spotlight because of her celebrity status.
"The celebrity thing's completely crazy," she said. "I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether."
She suggested that she could decide to just do something else with her life rather than act and said: "That's probably what's going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead."
The stunning British star may have already started on the route to a more normal life as she was seen before Christmas wearing what was thought to be an engagement ring from her boyfriend Rupert Friend.
And according to Now Magazine, on a recent break back in England after making three films back-to-back, Keira strolled with Rupert around London's Hyde Park looking besotted before falling asleep in his arms.
