Keira Knightley has recently admitted she wants to take a break from her career after having been working hard for the past five years.
The Duchess actress has been shooting movie after movie for years without a break and she finds it the right time to have more time for herself.
Keira, who will turn 24 on March 26, is currently dating her ‘Pride and Prejudice’ co-star Rupert Friend, who could be one of the reasons for Keira’s recent decision.
She said, “I’ve worked pretty much back to back for four or five years. And you get to a point where you just think ‘Okay, I want to take a step back.’
“Not necessarily that I’m exhausted. But I think that you get to a point where you’re just going to end up regurgitating stuff just because you’re tired and you’re not actually looking around you. It’s important to take a step back.”
I think she sounds completely tired and most of the time I heard the news about her, it was all about her films. She could be fed up with the showbiz at the moment.
Meanwhile, Keira Knightley is said to be support for her fellow actress Sienna Miller when she was stormed by tabloids.
The two became “closest friends” two year ago on the set of the move ‘The Edge Of Love’.
“We were friends before we did the film and we became even closer,” said Sienna. “She gives me good advice and hopefully vice versa. I think we keep ourselves afloat.”
She admitted she often counts on Keira because she was “mortified at what people can write about you”.
“It’s hard to ignore it,” she explained. “Keira will phone me up. She’s like, ‘I’m thinking about doing it’. I’m like, ‘I am, too, but don’t do it’. And we’ll kind of talk each other out of it.”
