Keira Knightley Ready to Quit

May 02, 2007


British actress Keira Knightley wants to quit show business because she can't stand being famous. What a dilemma right? Knightley is already considering other career choices because she said she would hate for her future children to put up with her celebrity status. Hasn't she made enough to just retire? She can go live on her own island like Depp does.

She says, "The celebrity thing's completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether. I couldn't have kids in the situation I'm in now. But I could just do something else."

"That's probably what's going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead."

To be honest if i was in that situation and having all these f...king paparazzi's behind me + everyone wanting some autographs : I'd be really pissed myself. So it is up to her deciding to have all the above behind her for a good part of her life or deciding to live in peace.

I feel bad because she is probably the best young actress in Hollywood. She is professional, smart, funny and there's no news about her getting "rowdy" or drugged up. She can achieve so much more! I wish she could stay on a bit longer, at least reach her peak then quit,its such a shame to lose such talent too early.

"Good riddance bitch" ????? Gee, I wonder why she'd want to leave show business, considering such thought-through comments like this one . . .

She's a young woman, and likely to change her mind numerous times yet, but I applaud her sensibility. It takes a precociously clear-headed person not to let the limelight blind her to what's important to her. Bravo.

I totally agree w/Keira. I'd probably last ~10 min before I got caught punching a pa-pa member myself. Invest your earnings in some IRA's and other stable biz opps, Keira, and retire to a quiet life w/some lucky dude, I say.

She's a *terrible* actress, and on top of that, a skinny, malnourished whiny brat. I'm so tired of hearing stars b*tch about the limelight. At least you *have* that choice, brat! Go away, and good riddance!

She's a very talented actress. Would be a shame if she left the biz. But kudos to her for having a brain and going after what she really wants in life.
