Keira Knightley opened up about what the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise meant for her. Spiking to fame with the instant success of the franchise in which she starred opposite Johnny Depp, Keira revealed that while the films gave her fame and financial stability, they did her even greater harm – men stalked her and took her for being easy.&nbsp;

She recalled being “stalked by men” in her early 20s.&nbsp;

<h2>The success took her privacy away</h2>

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Oscar-nominated actress said, “It’s very brutal to have your privacy taken away in your teenage years, early 20s, and to be put under that scrutiny at a point when you are still growing. Having said that, I wouldn’t have the financial stability or the career that I do now without that period. I had a five-year period between the ages of 17 and 21-ish, and I’m never going to have that kind of success again. It totally set me up for life. Did it come at a cost? Yes, it did. It came at a big cost.”

Keira Knightley rose to fame in 2003 at just 18 years old for her roles in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Love Actually. But she remembers that her roles in the&nbsp;Pirates franchise as Elizabeth Swann attracted the most unwanted and inappropriate behaviour from others.

<h2>Men stalked her post the success</h2>

Keira remembered that her “jaw dropped at the time” over how people treated her in public spaces. “I didn’t think it was OK at the time. I was very clear on it being absolutely shocking. There was an amount of gaslighting to be told by a load of men that ‘you wanted this.’ It was rape speak. You know, ‘This is what you deserve.’ It was a very violent, misogynistic atmosphere.”

She added, “They very specifically meant I wanted to be stalked by men. Whether that was stalking because somebody was mentally ill, or because people were earning money from it — it felt the same to me. It was a brutal time to be a young woman in the public eye.”

Keira now feels that the young girls have it harder because of social media and the constant pressure to be visible. She said, “Social media has put that in a whole other context, when you look at the damage that’s been done to young women, to teenage girls. Ultimately, that’s what fame is — it’s being publicly shamed. A lot of teenage girls don’t survive that.”

Keira Knightley reveals Pirates of the Caribbean fame came at a 'big cost': Men stalked me

Happy Birthday Keira Knightley! The British actress is turning 39 years old today. She has starred in many acclaimed films ranging from Pirates of the Caribbean to Pride and Prejudice or Anna Karenina. She has also been nominated for an Oscar Academy Award twice. Watch in for more details!

Actor Keira Knightley turns 39; revisiting her performances

Gurinder Chadha, the acclaimed director of the 2002 hit film Bend It Like Beckham, hinted at the possibility of a sequel to the beloved sports comedy-drama that featured Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley in leading roles.

Chadha, who co-wrote the original film alongside Guljit Bindra and Paul Mayeda Berges, told Metro UK, "I never really wanted to make a sequel to the film because I just thought the way Parminder and Keira played it, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Archie Panjabi, I could never really follow that up and create that same magic in the same way."

However, recent developments in the world of football have sparked her interest in exploring a potential sequel.

Bend It Like Beckham was not just a film but a cultural phenomenon. It told the story of Jesminder and Jules, two young women who defied their parents' wishes to chase their dreams of becoming professional soccer players, inspired by the legendary David Beckham. The film's heartwarming story, combined with stellar performances by the cast, resonated with audiences worldwide.

The film also featured cameo appearance of David Beckham and his wife Victoria.

Chadha's journey to bring Bend It Like Beckham to the big screen was not without its share of challenges. She had been told that her film could never get made because she would never be able to find an Indian girl who could bend it like Beckham. Chadha's response to such scepticism was, "Do you think Harrison Ford jumps out of helicopters?"

It's worth noting that Chadha eventually met Harrison Ford at the Cannes Film Festival and shared her story with him. His response was both humourous and encouraging. He quipped, "Well, I'm so glad I was able to help you with your career…and by the way, I do f***ing jump out of helicopters."

Gurinder Chadha hints at possible Bend It Like Beckham sequel: I’m starting to percolate an idea

The release of Matt Ruskin's Boston Strangler is around the corner. The film features Keira Knightley as journalist Loretta McLaughlin, who connected the disparate murders in early 1960s together, and Boston was introduced to a vicious serial killer. The film explores her story and the hunt for the killer. The Boston Strangler killed a total of 13 women. While a man called Albert DeSalvo did confess to the crimes, it has been theorised that more than one person committed the crimes. The film's synopsis says that it, "follows Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley), a reporter for the Record-American newspaper, who becomes the first journalist to connect the Boston Strangler murders."&nbsp;

It adds, "As the mysterious killer claims more and more victims, Loretta attempts to continue her investigation alongside colleague and confidante Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), yet the duo finds themselves stymied by the rampant sexism of the era. Nevertheless, McLaughlin and Cole bravely pursue the story at great personal risk, putting their own lives on the line in their quest to uncover the truth."

The film also stars Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, Chris Cooper, David Dastmalchian, and Morgan Spector.

But who was the real Boston Strangler? Read on to find out.

<h2>Boston Strangler and his reign of terror</h2>

The Boston Strangler, as mentioned above, was a serial killer who terrorised the city of Boston, Massachusetts in the early 1960s. The killer is believed to have murdered at least 13 women between 1962 and 1964, although some estimates put the number as high as 19. The case received widespread media attention and became one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history.

The killer's modus operandi was to gain entry to the victim's home by posing as a maintenance worker, salesman, or other innocent person. He would then strangle the victim with a ligature, often leaving behind a distinctive pattern of marks on the neck. In some cases, he would also sexually assault the victim before or after the murder.

<h2>The hunt of the Boston Strangler</h2>

The investigation into the Boston Strangler case was one of the largest and most complex in American history. Despite the efforts of hundreds of law enforcement officials, including the FBI, the killer was never definitively identified. Over the years, a number of suspects were identified and investigated, including Albert DeSalvo, a career criminal who confessed to being the Boston Strangler in 1967.

DeSalvo's confession, however, was fraught with inconsistencies and many experts believe that he was not actually responsible for the killings. In fact, DeSalvo was never officially charged with any of the murders and was instead convicted of unrelated crimes, including rape and armed robbery.

In the years since the Boston Strangler case, a number of theories have been put forward about the identity of the killer. Some experts believe that the murders were the work of multiple individuals, while others argue that the killer was a single person with a history of violence against women.

Despite the lack of a definitive resolution to the case, the Boston Strangler remains one of the most infamous serial killers in American history. The case has been the subject of numerous books, movies, and TV shows, and continues to fascinate and haunt people to this day.

The Boston Strangler movie releases on March 17 on Hulu.

Keira Knightley has revealed she is suffering from COVID-19 and feeling pretty 'rubbish'.&nbsp; 
 
Knightley spoke to The Telegraph's Stella magazine recently and revealed that she and her family are in quarantine after contracting the disease.&nbsp; 
 
Knightley explained that her daughters Edie, 6, and Delilah, 2, are recovering quicker than she is, while her husband James Righton, 38, is asymptomatic. "He is being very smug about it — he is convinced it's because he's one of those cold-water swimmers and I'm not," the actress said. 
 
Knightley also opened up about her experience filming her new comedy-horror movie 'Silent Night', set during Christmas on the eve of an environmental apocalypse.&nbsp;

Filming kicked off in the UK in February 2020, a month before the pandemic began. 
 
"We were filming scenes about the shops running out of food at the same time as the news was becoming full of stories that all of the toilet paper had gone," she recounted. "It was incredibly strange for everyone." 
 
"I think it should come with a warning, because now everybody is coming to the film with a lived experience, hopefully not as horrific as this one, but it has suddenly become a lot more raw," Knightley added. 
 
The actress had pulled out of her role in the Apple TV+ original series 'The Essex Serpent' citing "family reasons" amid the pandemic.

"As the COVID cases increase in the UK and additional lockdown and restriction rules are potentially being imposed, with so many unknowns, there wasn't a comfortable scenario for Keira that could be put in place for an extended period of child care required for the 4.5-month production," Knightley's rep had said back in October 2020.

Hollywood actress Keira Knightley says she will not film any more sex scenes with male directors as it makes her very uncomfortable.

In the Chanel Connects podcast, the 35-year-old actress admitted that she feels uncomfortable exposing her body on a film set since giving birth to her two daughters, reports dailymail.co.uk.

“It’s partly vanity (but) partly also it’s the male gaze,” she said.

“I feel like if I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood, that journey of the body (acceptance), I feel like I’m sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker. I don’t have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men,” added the actress, who has previously done racy scenes in films such as Atonement, The Aftermath and Colette.

Knightley continued: “I don’t want it to be that kind of, ugh, those horrible sex scenes where you’re all greased up and everybody’s grunting. I’m not interested in doing that.”

The Oscar-nominated actress asserted: “I’m too vain, the body has had two children now, and I’d just rather not stand in front of a group of men naked.”

The actress shares two daughters, Edie, five, and Delilah, 16 months, with her musician husband James Righton.

Top 5 Hollywood news today: Spike Lee compares Trump to Hitler, Samuel L Jackson receives COVID vaccine

Keira Knightley may have been okay filming nude scenes in the past, but the actress has now changed her stance. The 34-year-old actress has done plenty of nude scenes in the past, most notably her topless sequence in the 2008 release, 'The Edge Of Love'.

However, Keira now adds a no-nudity clause in all her movie contracts. She has changed her stance on nudity after embracing motherhood. The actress has stated that she does not want it to affect her children in a negative way in the future. 
 
Keira and her musician husband James Righton, have two daughters, Edie, 4, and Delilah, 6 months.

While speaking with 'Financial Times', the actress said she had no problems doing nude scenes when she was younger and yet to give birth. "I have been comfortable earlier with more nudity than I am now. I have had a kid, I am in my thirties, I am very happy with my body," she said.

She also pointed out that nudity on camera is not what it used to be. "You can take the whole thing and put it in a completely different thing, and it`s on some porn site," she explained.

Keira is also now able to choose her body double nude scenes in her films. "I get to choose the body double. It is an interesting selection process! It kind of goes like, `That`s a little bit like you, but better. She has a lovely body, so she can do this`. then I get final approval of what the edit is."

Motherhood has made Keira Knightley change nudity clause in all her films

Keira Knightley said her new film "Misbehaviour", the true story of how the Women's Liberation Movement disrupted the 1970 Miss World competition, felt relevant at a time when people were still fighting for equal treatment.

Knightley, 34, plays a member of the Women's Liberation Movement, which storms the stage of the London theatre where the beauty pageant was being held. That year Miss Grenada won, the first time a black competitor had taken the crown.

The themes of feminism and racism appealed to the actress, she said, as they had ongoing resonance in a world where equality still felt a long way off.

"What I loved about this film was that conversation because it felt so very relevant to what we're still talking about today," Knightley told Reuters in an interview.

Back in 1970, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with more than 100 million viewers, meaning the protest created quite a stir. Misbehaviour opens in British cinemas on March 13, starring Greg Kinnear as pageant host Bob Hope, the comedian, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Miss Grenada.

Knightley is even more conscious of women's rights and related issues like the #MeToo movement which calls out sexual misconduct across the entertainment, politics and business industries, because she is raising two young daughters.

"With social media...I do completely worry about that with my kids and I worry about the kind of images that they're going to be bombarded by," she said.

But Knightly believes progress has been made and the film pays tribute to the women who helped achieve that.

"I think you have to honour and mark the women that created that great progress before us," she said.
