Keira Knightley discusses the negative aspects of starring in Pirates of the Caribbean.
She discussed her concerns she would be typecast as “the object of everybody’s lust” in roles after playing Elizabeth.
"I had quite an entrance into adult life, an extreme landing because of the experience of fame at a very early age. There’s a funny place where women are meant to sit, publicly, and I never felt comfortable with that. It was a big jolt. I was being judged on what I was projecting. [Elizabeth] was the object of everybody’s lust. Not that she doesn’t have a lot of fight in her. But it was interesting coming from being really tomboyish to getting projected as quite the opposite. I felt very constrained. I felt very stuck. So the roles afterwards were about trying to break out of that."
