Keira Knightley reflected on the dual impact of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, stating, 'It's a funny thing when you have something that was making and breaking you at the same time.' While the films garnered her significant opportunities, including Oscar nominations, they also subjected her to public scrutiny, leading her to express that it was 'a very confused place' in her head.
Knightley elaborated on her complicated feelings regarding the franchise: 'They were the most successful films I'll ever be a part of, and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly.' This highlights the dichotomy of career success and personal struggles stemming from early fame.
Discussing her experience working in the franchise, Knightley noted, 'The hours are insane. It's years of your life, you have no control over where you're filming, how long you're filming, what you're filming.' This reveals the rigorous demands of working on major film franchises.
Reflecting on her mental health challenges, Knightley has been vocal about her struggles since achieving fame at a young age, which culminated in a mental breakdown and a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress.
