Keira Knightley Was Scared She'd Be Fired from 'Pirates'

Keira Knightley gets animated while telling a story during her interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday evening (November 19) in New York City.

The 29-year-old actress was seen earlier in the day heading to NBC Studios wearing overalls under a pea-coat and a beanie.

Keira recently chatted about fearing she would be fired from Pirates of the Caribbean before starting filming. “I remember going to Hollywood… I had only packed a small bag because I was convinced they were going to fire me,” she said.

“Being a teenager that’s come out of sort of big blockbuster films, there was a lot of criticism,” Keira said (via Page Six). “People saying, ‘She’s s–t, she can’t act, she can’t do it. What’s the point? She’s pouty, she’s thin.’ Being a teenager, you do read it all . . . you go, ‘Oh, my God, I’m that awful.’”
