KEIRA KNIGHTLEY

"The problem for me was that by being in the film the magic was broken. I loved the first Star Wars film and my mum was really into it too, that's why I took the part. But the Force wasn't there when we were filming it, and they didn't have real light sabres, which annoyed me."

About Keira Knightley

Being blessed with good looks is one thing, but bearing a resemblance to Natalie Portman helped Knightley get cast in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) as Queen Padm?'s royal decoy. She really got her breakthrough, however, with a supporting role in the British girl-footballer flick Bend It Like Beckham (2002). And in 2003, she nailed the part that would solidify her fame: Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. That blockbuster spawned two sequels in 2006 and 2007 respectively, granting Keira even higher exposure.
