Keira Knightley Gets Candid About Why She’s Done With Franchises After “Pirates Of The Caribbean”

“The hours are insane,” she explained. “It’s years of your life, you have no control over where you’re filming, how long you’re filming, what you’re filming.”

Reflecting on her time as part of Disney’s Pirates series, Keira said: “It’s a funny thing when you have something that was making and breaking you at the same time.”

“I was seen as shit because of them, and yet because they did so well I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for.”

“They were the most successful films I’ll ever be a part of and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they’re a very confused place in my head.”
