Keira Knightley – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Thu, 18 Oct 2018 05:50:25 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 Keira Knightley Leads The Way In Miss World Flick “Misbehaviour” https://omgcheckitout.com/keira-knightley-miss-world-misbehaviour/ Fri, 19 Oct 2018 05:46:23 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=26641 Keira Knightley will be taking a little break from period dramas to star in an intriguing project set in the world of competitive beauty pageants. She just landed a key role in Misbehaviour, also starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Jessie Buckley.

The upcoming dramedy takes place almost half a century ago, when 100 million viewers around the globe were still tuning in to watch televised beauty pageants. Miss World was at its peak back in the day, but the 1970 competition turned out to be the tipping point. The broadcast was interrupted by representatives of Women’s Liberation Movement, who invaded the stage, claiming beauty pageants such as this one demeaned women. Tensions were still running high once the broadcast resumed, since the results took everyone by surprise. Miss Grenada became the first black woman to be crowned Miss World, beating the Swedish favorite.

Misbehaviour will be directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, BAFTA-winning filmmaker known for her work on Three Girls and Call the Midwife. Gaby Chiappe and Rebecca Frayn will be credited as screenwriters.

After it ended its theater run, the movie became a modern Christmas classic, and millions of people gather around a TV each year during the holidays to watch it just one more time. Well, except for one of its stars, Keira Knightley. Watching Love Actually once was quite enough for her.

During a recent appearance at GMA Day, Knightley revealed that she has seen the movie 15 years ago and never again.

“I only saw it once when it first came out,” said the 33-year-old actress. “So, how long ago was that? 15 years ago?”

It turns out that this was part of Keira Knightley’s routine when it comes to her own movies.

“It just feels a bit weird to sit down and watch your own thing, but I’m not in it very much, so actually I’ll watch the rest of it and then I’ll really enjoy it,” she added.

When it was first released in cinemas, Love Actually wasn’t well received by critics. The audience, however, didn’t care all that much about their opinion, and the movie became a box-office success. It was one of the first breakthrough roles for Keira Knightley, helping her to solidify her popularity and status as one of Britain’s most talented actresses.
