Keira Knghtley plays the lead in Anna Karenina and talks life as an actress. Subscribe to DP/30 for more interviews: bit.ly/17Xg4Y1 Shot in Los Angeles, December 2012
The characters she plays are strong-willed and abrasive at times, so I think I've always projected that personality onto her. It's refreshing to see that she seems down to earth, chatty, and well-spoken.
Love her. Such an eloquent, insightful person. You can tell she immerses herself into these characters she plays and the films she's part of when she talks about it. Ever since her big break a decade ago she's definitely taken an interesting route - instead of doing the expected box office, tailored films she chose to do smaller, quieter ones which turned off a few of her younger viewers I suppose. She has chosen challenging roles and controversial films with well known directors over the years that give me so much respect for her - few barely have the guts to take on the roles she does. Incredibly underrated as an actress who ups her craft evey single time. I look forward to seeing more of her in the future.
I just read that she is 28, which means she would have been only 17 when the first Pirates went into production. Wow. It thought she was 3-4 years older. She has a cool attitude. My ex met her years ago and claimed she was very down to earth.
I've loved her for years. Her authenticity really comes through in this interview. And hats off to the interviewer as well, he provided the space to let us get to know her a little.
I love how eloquent she is, how smart and interesting! She's not just a pretty face, I mean the moment she opens her mouth and speaks I get mesmerized. She always has something interesting to say in interviews, unlike some other bimbos. I absolutely love her.
Only the English, and English actors, in particular, with their literary and theatrical traditions, can understand 19th century Russian literature so deeply and interpret it with such sophistication. Truly amazing!
She is so wonderfully intelligent. I thought she was mind-blowing in A Dangerous Method and I thought she was quite good in Anna Karenina as well, it's too bad she is constantly underrated for making interesting choices in her acting. One thing's for sure, she's a very interresting actor.
I Love your interviews because they are so well made and in a comfortable atmosphere unlike other interviews were its just-Yeah, next question. These video's are priceless. I love how in this interview you asked about her other works, like a dangerous method. I was so upset that you hadn't gotten the chance to make one before with her and I literally Lost my shit when you asked her about it. So THANKS so much for being AWESOME. RU-vid would suck without you.
Despite her background of being in an active, influential Theatrical nuclear family - this woman, personally, has been given unique gifts of insightful intelligence, a powerful imagination, and an ability to memorize. Her special gifts permit her to flesh out a variety of important literary characters, and enhance her ability to be both believable and engaging. Gratefully, this beautiful woman is motivated and able to bring absorbingly memorable roles to life - for our edification and with our deep appreciation.🌹
That accent of hers is amazing I absolutely positively love her movies every character she plays is authentic and real and she's so blessedly beautiful 😍❤️🌈💯🌹🔥 happy 😊 blessed 😇 😘🎬🍿🥤🎁 🎂 🎈🎊🎉🎊 🎈 birthday beautiful 😍 ❤️ actress 📺🎤🎥🎭.
what an impressive interview. it really showcases her intelligence. She's so well spoken. I don't like it when people talk too much but say little. No, not in her case, not a sentence that came out of her mouth was meaningless. Yes, i too could listen to her all day. I think she was still relatively young when this interview took place, but I feel her maturity and insights on things surpass her age.
lol, loved her perception of the book and her analysis. she seems very genuine and down to earth. i totally empathize with the babbling bit, she obviously and understandably has a lot to express, that mind flow just can't be contained. oddly enough, however, for some reason i never found keira to be my kind of actress, her acting tends to put me off at times, even the lower budget pictures she did (sure, i think her choice of films is pretty great). definitely though, she seems like an interesting person
dude, i like your interviews...why? because they seem to be intelligent, the length of the video and that the camera is always ponted towards the person being interviewed
Congratulations on your great interviews, people you interview are all amazing people and artists. Just one suggestion, when you interview actresses could you please compliment them in the middle of the interview when they say something smart or insightful? It means a lot to them because artists in general need a lot of encouragement from others, especially actors actresses.
i loved Anna Karenina . Her role was very sexy and alluring. The the other young guy who was in love with ana was just fkn brilliant actor. Very nice story. And probably all characters were likable, her brother her husband her lover .. And the second love story that was showed simultaneously was also cute.
I'm a 16-year-old boy who discovered these interviews last night. Jessica Chastain, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Keira Knightley, Jennifer Lawrence... OH, GOD! And they don't ask these people questions about anything else but their films.
I'm kinda curious how this guy manages to interview so many "big" actors and directors for such long interviews. His videos don't have that much views to generate that much revenue I'd believe would be necessary to create such opportunities. How does that work? I imagine he's got very good contacts.
+Rose Gold That still doesn't add up. What website or separate magazine would get more views than RU-vid? Why would RU-vid be the alternative or 2nd option that's just there? Clearly it isn't some big publication like Vogue or whatever because we would see it all over these videos. Also to answer the first guys question, the actors seem to enjoy doing this. So I'm sure it doesn't take much convincing these days for him to get people.
Im black, even though the guy in the profile picture is white. Because it's a bigger publication, this is the guys personal youtube account not many people are aware of it. The interview is printed outside of this youtube clip you do realise..
I always loved this series of uncut interviews ever since the Nicole Kidman/RABBIT HOLE interview. I've been looking for them for the longest time and now I'm glad I've re-discovered them. You can see Knightley's natural intelligence in this interview that isn't always seen in her performances.
this is just an observation, guys try to observe properly her jawline, chin boss which incredibly changed, her lips too. i was surprised when i saw this video her entire facial structures changed. her jawline was like added so as her chin boss. i compared this to her past photos and her face had strange changes really.
Another wonderful DP/30 interview, but as always, Keira is greatly responsible for making it wonderful, because she is wonderful, in every respect of her being, wether in modelling, talking or acting, or just being. Responding to those who codemn the suffix -ess as being sexist: there is no rational basis whatsoever for that claim. The truth is opposite: rationally, it should be considered sexist, sexist as a negative, that is, to call the gender-specific suffix -ess sexist. Think about it. But anyway, what a wonderful actress Keira is.
Ugh the following around bit must be terribly unnerving. In the featured//up next videos --- not entirely sure WHY it had showed up because it had absolutely nothing to do with interviews and movie reviews-- in the featured I saw a thumbnail of a really pissed off Keira and on the top said Pariz Spotted Knightley or something. I didn't click it but I can only assume that Pariz is some sort of Paparazzi channel because i saw a bunch of others listed below of other celebs. Pretty creepy stuff, like, actors are human , let them human haha.
I just saw this interview and the same thought had crossed my mind! It's a shame, it really is... They could be the most beautiful famous couple ever! But, I guess it wasn't ment to be...
She sees Anna as a "victim" and says she can understand her in an "unhappy marriage". I don't think this movie shows that well enough, especially not her as a victim, at least a victim of Karenina. I need to read the book.
She has such beautiful natural looks but can someone tell me why she normally has such atrocious short hairstyles, in "Pirates" she looks amazing with long hair
