Keira Knightley plans to quit the movie industry, because she is “sick of being a celebrity”.
“The Pirates of the Caribbean” actress says she is tired of the constant interest in her private life and recent allegations her body shape was promoting anorexia have taken her to the brink of giving up acting.
Keira said in an interview with Elle magazine: ”The celebrity thing’s completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether. I couldn’t have kids in the situation I’m in now. But I could just do something else. That’s probably what’s going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead.”
Keira-22 who has been acting since the age of seven- shot to worldwide fame in “Bend it Like Beckham” in 2002.
The actress recently denied rumors that she suffers from eating disorder, but admitted that anorexia does run in her family.
Keira said: ”I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia - my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t. But whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong, I’m just naturally thin.”
I don’t know about the figure of Keira but I hope she would make up her mind and decide to continue acting because she is a really good actress and the movie industry will lose if she quit acting. So keep your fingers crossed.
