Movie fans were stunned to learn Keira Knightley’s age when she starred in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003 alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
In fact, Knightley was only 17 years old, almost 18, when she became an international star by playing Elizabeth Swann in the Disney franchise. With the success of the first film came fame and celebrity status, which was a bit daunting for the young actress.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Knightley spoke about how difficult it was to cope with sudden success at such a young age: “I had quite an entrance into adulthood, a very extreme landing because of the experience of fame at a very early age,” she said; “It was a huge shock.”
And the actress’s fans were also astonished to learn that Knightley was so young when she acted in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” “This must be a LIE,” commented one user on platform X; “Can you believe Keira Knightley was only 17 when “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was filmed?” questioned another.
