Keira Knightley is not a good actress. She’s a thing to simply take up some space in a pair of shoes, speak in a plummy English accent and pout. That’s it. The latter, being her whole being. Take that away from her and she simply merges into whatever background she’s stood before.
And weirdly, when Keira portrayed Elizabeth Bennet in some shitty movie, director Joe Wright knew exactly how to make her palatable for an audience.
What did he do? He asked her to not exist anymore.
Knightley says of the director:
??Shut your mouth and stop doing the pout!? he was yelling at me?
If only she’d done the same in the dismal, abject horror that is Domino. Have you seen it? Watch it now. You’ll spray sick through your fingers when she asks to perform a laapdaance for someone.
Anyway, its obvious that Knightley isn’t hired for her acting prowess. That’s because she’s more wooden than a pirate’s penis. And she knows this.
?[Some director] didn't want to hire me, his producers forced him to meet me. He finally met me and said, ?I am sorry but I don't think you know how to act??
And how does a luvvie respond to such criticism? By diversion dahling!
See, she isn’t getting overlooked because she’s a woeful actress. Hell no. Apparently, this is all because of her refusal to ‘play the game’. There’s no acting like a celebrity for Keira… no falling out of clubs while hammered or wearing skimpy clobber.
?I didn't play their game, and they were furious.?
The ‘game’ being ‘acting’.

Wtf! Then why was she nominated for an oscar for that shitty movie “pride and prejudice” which got rave reviews from everyone specifically about her performance inlcuding Roger Ebert?? keira is an underated actress and people only go on about her good looks, saying thats all she is. Well she’s given wonderful and sometimes understated performances over the years in atonement, the duchess, never let me go, and recently last night. shut. the. fuck. up. you dont know what your talking about. this is a shitty website.

Now, I’m no fan of her acting, but I honestly don’t understand what she has done to catch so much shit from people. Not when people like Katie Price exist, anyway. Enlighten me, Mof.
