KEIRA Knightley has fallen in love with the theater.

The British actress — who’s currently appearing in The Misanthrope on London’s West End — has vowed to sign up for more stage roles in the future.

“I really enjoy doing stage stuff and would definitely do more theater,” said Knightley.” It’s so different to films as you really get into the character.

“In films, once you have finished shooting a scene it’s done but with the theater you’re always continuing. You get to know the characters in a way that you don’t as much in films.

“The audience’s mood is different every night and that is fascinating as, along with my mood, it gives the whole performance a different feeling each night. There haven’t been any negative reactions from the audience though.”

Keira, 24, recently revealed that she ignores her critics — and only listens to her father’s opinion.

“I still haven’t read anything from the critics, but by the fact that I’m here, I’m assuming it went OK,” she said. “I don’t do it at all for anything. I think you have got to be very careful where you take your criticism from. It can completely throw you. It has to be someone that you know and you can trust, because then that’s helpful.

“I have a core group of people who I will absolutely listen to 100 per cent when they say something negative or positive. My father is absolutely extraordinary. I think he’s probably more brutal than any critic ever would be so I tend to go with him.”
