Knightley admits fame was too intense

Keira Knightley is engaged to marry musician James Righton and stars in the film adaptation of Anna Karenina alongside Jude Law – but the actress says there was a time when she was not in such a good place.

The 27-year-old star recalls a time when the fame from such roles as Bend It Like Beckham and the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise was too intense.

She tells Vogue magazine’s October issue she “literally had no life outside of acting” and desired to “not be ’on’ all the time”.

Instead of working, Knightley read books, cooked and lived in France.

The October issue of Vogue goes on sale in the US on September 25.
