Keira Knightley: ‘People Think I’m a Sh*t Actress’

Posted by Adam

KEIRA Knightley is adamant the British press has a grudge against her — because they always question her acting abilities.

“Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a sh*t actress?’”  Keira, who was 2008′s second-highest-earning actress, tells the March issue of Elle magazine.

“You have to be selective about the people whose advice and opinions you take,” she said.

“I know [my parents] would never tell me I was sh** because they were trying to hurt me,” she says. “It would always come from a very sincere place.”

    She’s far from a sh*t actress! British critics are very tough on their actors, and they’ve been very tough on her because she doesn’t have the classical acting training, but lately they’ve come around and admitted that she’s a pretty good actress. There are quite a few bad actresses around, she’s definitely not one of them!

    She’s a wonderful actress. I’m sure that in real life she is quite different than Elizabeth Bennett. But she has me almost believing that she IS “Lizzie”. Anyone who doubts her acting ability needs to look at P&P one more time.
