Keira Knightley | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

One of Keira Knightley‘s first movie roles was in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, but she has no recollection of the film!

The 35-year-old actress was only 12 when she appeared as Sabé, Queen Amidala’s double, in the epic movie.

While chatting with ComingSoon.net, Keira joked about how she barely remembers anything about the experience.

“Your character survived, whereas Padmé did not,” the interviewer said and Keira replied, “Wait a minute. Who did I play? Was I not Padmé?”

After being reminded that she played Sabé, Keira said, “Do you know, I saw the film once. I think I was 12 when I did it and it came out and I saw it the year after. And I’ve never seen it again. So, I played Sabé and she didn’t die? Okay!”

Keira was asked if she has any thoughts on where Sabé might be these days and she said, “I hope she lived a long and happy life somewhere on a planet far, far away. I’m sure she did!”

With all of the Star Wars reboots and spinoff series happening, she was also asked if there’s any talk of her reprising her role as Sabé.

“Reprising the character I can’t even remember the name of?” Keira asked while laughing. “No, there hasn’t.”

Keira just signed on to a period drama for Apple TV+ and an upcoming series for Hulu.

Keira Knightley has found her next period drama – Sarah Perry’s novel The Essex Serpent for Apple TV+.

The 35-year-old actress is well known for her work in period pieces including Colette and The Imitation Game.

According to Deadline, “The Essex Serpent follows newly widowed Cora, played by Knightley, who, having being released from an abusive marriage, relocates from Victorian London to the small village of Aldwinter in Essex, intrigued by a local superstition that a mythical creature known as the Essex Serpent has returned to the area….Set in 1893, the book was published by Serpent’s Tail, an imprint of Profile Books in 2016 and was named Book of the Year by the British Book Awards that year.

Keira is also set to star in another TV show that is set in the Prohibition era!

Here’s a description: “Set in New York City at the height of the Prohibition era, The Other Typist is a psycho-sexual suspense thriller that turns on themes of identity, class, obsession and misplaced (or misunderstood) desire. In it, Rose, a prim, unworldly police department typist gets drawn into the shady world of her glamorous new co-worker, Odalie (Knightley) but when the ultimate crime is committed, it’s uncertain which of the two women was the more treacherous.”

The original novel, published in 2013, has garnered comparisons to The Great Gatsby.

Also of note: “This would mark the biggest TV commitment to date for Knightley who, with the exception of the 2011 Neverland miniseries, has been focused entirely on features since bursting into the scene with the 2002 hit Bend It Like Beckham,” Deadline reports.

“I was thinking of something entertaining to do and I couldn’t think of anything,” Keira said. “So I’m going to play my teeth, which is my one and only party trick.”

This isn’t the first time Keira showed off her trick. While appearing on The Tonight Show last year, Keira played this song on her teeth!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Keeley Hawes, Keira Knightley, and Suki Waterhouse walk the red carpet together at the premiere of their new movie Misbehaviour on Monday (March 9) at The Ham Yard Hotel in London, England.

The actresses were joined at the event by co-stars Emma Corrin, Clara Rosager, Loreece Harrison, and director Philippa Lowthorpe.

The movie follows the Miss World competition in 1970, where the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. At the event, Miss Grenada also became the first black woman to be crowned Miss World and in a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.

FYI: Keira is wearing a Chanel dress and Roger Vivier shoes. Gugu is wearing an Emilia Wickstead dress. Suki is wearing a Reem Acra gown.

Keira Knightley went viral a few years ago and caused controversy when she said she was banning fairytale movies like Cinderella and The Little Mermaid and wouldn’t be showing those films to her daughters.

Well, now, Keira is revealing that her four-year-old daughter Edie has watched all of the films.

“She’s watched them all now,” she apparently “faux groaned” during her interview with Net-A-Porter. “When we watched Sleeping Beauty, she said, ‘It’s not OK that man kissed her without her permission!’ I can’t tell you how pleased I was. If I don’t do anything else, I’ve managed to drum that in!”

And now that Keira is a mom of two daughters, she refuses to do this as well.
