Keira Knightley's former common-law husband - Rupert Friend
Like our heroine, Rupert's birth took place in the English countryside. He was educated at Oxford University. Then he studied at the London acting school together with Angela Lansbury, Natalie Dormer and other future stars of English cinema. The man became famous after his role in the film “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star lived with Rupert Friend for 6 years. The first meeting took place during the filming of Pride and Prejudice. After only a short time they felt strong feelings. Soon the film actors began to live in a civil marriage. The lovers did not think about legitimizing their relationship with each other. They were already good together. But life together did not lead to the conclusion of a marriage. Keira Knightley's former common-law husband, Rupert Friend, left his beloved without explaining the reasons. Since then, the celebrities have not communicated.
The artist played in a large number of films. But he failed to repeat the success of Pride and Prejudice. Rupert is currently starring in a film about Vincent Van Gogh, who became an incredibly famous artist. The project is scheduled for release in 2020.
After breaking up with Kira, the star was the most desirable bachelor for a long time. In 2020, the man married film actress Aimee Mullins.
Star Trek and film actresses
The actress’s first serious step on the path to success was her role in the film “Star Wars” directed by George Lucas. True, Knightley was hired only because of her striking resemblance to another famous actress, Natalie Portman. However, after this role, Kira opened the door to the world of big cinema.
Following Star Wars, very successful films appeared with her participation, such as the series Oliver Twist, Robin Hood's Daughter: Princess of Thieves, Doctor Zhivago, and The Pit. The actress became best known for her role in the film Bend It Like Beckham.
However, the real triumph was yet to come. In 2003, the film “Pirates of the Caribbean” was released, where Knightley played the main female role. The film was a huge success, becoming one of the main film events of the year, and Kira became a real star.
Knightley's subsequent works - Love Actually, King Arthur, The Jacket, Domino - only cemented the actress's fame. The most important film at the moment in Keira’s career is the film “Pride and Prejudice”, for her performance in which Knightley became an Oscar nominee for Best Actress in 2005. She never received the statuette, and this could not but be an incentive to work on herself further.
In 2006, the film “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” was released, and a year later another part of this fantastic story was “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.”
Kira refused to appear in the fourth film about the travels of the pirate Jack Sparrow and accepted offers to star in such films as “Atonement” (2007), “Forbidden Love” (2008), “Last Night in New York” (2010), “Looking for a Friend.” to the end of the world" (2012). In the same year, 2012, Kira began acting in the film adaptation of L.N. Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina, in which she was entrusted with the role of Karenina herself.
Currently, Keira Knightley is one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, she is on the list of the sexiest women in the world and since 2003 has been the face of the English jewelry house Asprey.
Keira Knightley's husband - James Righton
The guy was born in one of the English cities. He learned to play the guitar from a young age. Since 2009, James became a member of one of the rock bands that became famous not only in his native Great Britain, but also in other countries of the world.
The two stars met at one of the parties. The young man was persistent. At first the girl was burdened by his attention, but after a short time they began to appear everywhere together, showing off their engagement rings.
The wedding took place in 2014. The ceremony was attended only by close relatives of the newlyweds and a few friends. The lovers spent their honeymoon on the Pacific Ocean. Keira Knightley's husband, James Righton, rented an entire island for his beloved. Every day her husband made surprises for Kira.
Lovers often spend time together. They spend every holiday in such a way that it will be remembered for a long time. For the Christmas holidays, this time they decided to go with their daughter Eda to the Mediterranean coast. Our heroine spoke about this on her Instagram page.
Photo of Keira Knightley in Playboy magazine
Photos of Keira Knightley have not yet appeared in Playboy magazine. The Pirates of the Caribbean star has consistently refused to pose naked. And this is exactly how her fans want to see her. But even in films, the naked artist did not appear. She does not want to show her body to strangers. This is just a privilege for the husband.
The pages of Maxim magazine have not yet been decorated with photographs of the film actress. Negotiations are currently underway with representatives of the star. Fans of our heroine hope that her photos will decorate one of the next issues of the magazine.
On her Instagram page, our heroine recently posted photos of herself in which she was shot in a swimsuit. Fans noted that the artist’s figure is in good physical shape. She has not lost the attractiveness characteristic of a young beauty.
In 2020, another scandal broke out on the Internet again. The reason was the photographs of Knightley, whose breasts were openly on display for all to see. The star herself said that she is not posing in the photographs. Who leaked the pictures online remains unknown. The investigation yielded no results. Kira herself has a negative attitude towards hackers. She considers them similar to murderers.
Keira Knightley now
The actress continues to participate in the filming of feature films. In 2020, work on the biographical drama Colette was completed. In the film, Knightley played the main character, a writer whose works are published under the name of her husband. At a certain point, Gabrielle Colette decides to come out of the shadows and begin an independent literary career.
Kira embodied the image of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the family fantasy film “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.” The costume film, in the creation of which more than 100 actors, including ballet dancers, participated, was coolly received by film critics.
Now the screen star has expanded her filmography with the military drama “Aftermath,” where she appeared in the ensemble cast along with Alexander Skarsgard and Jason Clarke. The film's worldwide release date is March 1, 2020.
