Keira Knightley feared she would be fired from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’

Keira Knightley said she feared filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer would fire her from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

British actress Keira Knightley said she feared filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer would fire her from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ when she was 17. The 29-year-old actress said she learned to work hard and keep her head down after bad press over her weight and acting in her early career, reported New York Post.

“Being a teenager that’s come out of sort of big blockbuster films, there was a lot of criticism. People saying, ‘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 and you go, ‘Oh, my God, I am that awful. I remember going to Hollywood. I had only packed a small bag because I was convinced they were going to fire me,” Knightley said.
