She got really skinny for a while, too :(

She was asked a lot if she was going to get a boob job. It was so fucked up.

Y'all I was digging back through her work and found a movie called Princess of Thieves that she worked on when she was 15. Her love interest in that was Stephen Moyer who was fucking 31! I watched the BTS footage and the men were all being WEIRD AF about it. To make matters worst the first guy who comments about her age is Del Synnott (who was 23) who dated her for a while thereafter.

And she actually looks very young here as well. That's kiss definitely looks like a man kissing a young teenager, like barf.

Ugh I got chills, especially with how he was looking at her.

I’m not familiar with that movie but those interviews are gross…. Something just so icky about how they’re talking about her

Gil Faizon (Nick Kroll) referred to Keira as "Natalie Portman with an underbite" and that's how I choose to see her now

I have an underbite as well so she's a sis

That's pretty much why she was cast as one of Padme's handmaidens in Star Wars.

[azaelers]

Rose Byrne too!

The casting director was ON it with those three.

Her career trajectory and the way she blew up is wild, and it’s so easy to forget how young she was at the time. I’m glad she’s stayed away from the spotlight in the last decade and appears to have a stable and lowkey family life.

Keira is definitely my favorite actress (stream Boston Strangler on Hulu on March 17!). It's wild how young she was in PotC. I love those movies, but it's definitely super super weird.
