Starting Out
Keira started her acting career when she was very young. At the age of nine, she had her first
role in a film called A Village Affair (1994). Her first high profile part came in 1999 as Sabe in
the film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Her next big films were The Hole
(2001), and Bend It Like Beckham (2002), in which she is best known for her role as the
tomboy footballer Jules Paxton.
In this film, a young Asian girl called Jess Nagra dreams of playing football for England but is
dissuaded by her parents. That is, until she’s spotted playing in the park by Jules (Keira
Knightley), a star of a semi-pro girls’ team called the Hounslow Harriers. Jess joins the team
and begins to live her dream, though there’s trouble when Jess and Jules both fall for the team
coach.
Football
Keira had to work hard for the action sequences. She trained with Simon Clifford, a famous
coach. Previously, Clifford had trained Michael Owen. During an interview, Clifford said that
Keira had picked up some aspects of the game quicker than Owen, although she lacked his pace
and penalty-winning techniques. Keira’s performance in Bend it Like Beckham won her the
Best Newcomer Award from the London Critics Circle in 2003.
Pirates
Keira’s big year was 2003. This was the year of the Hollywood blockbuster Pirates Of The
Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Keira played the part of Elizabeth Swann, who is the
daughter of British governor Jonathan Pryce. One day, she’s kidnapped by an evil pirate called
Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who is in fact a ghost. Barbossa needs Elizabeth’s blood so he can
become a human again. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), her wannabe lover, and a wacky pirate
called Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) go on a mission to rescue her. The film did really well,
making more than $200 million in the US.
Love
Next came Love, Actually. This film had ten stories of love, and it starred actors such as Hugh
Grant, Liam Neeson, and Alan Rickman. The film was a big success, despite being a bit soppy.
In all, Keira has had a good start to her career. She started out life as a dyslexic child with no
formal training; but has since managed to conquer Hollywood. Some of her recent movies
include Colette (2018).
