Keira Knightley recalled how she was followed by paparazzi at the height of her popularity in her youth. Deadline writes that photographers stood in front of the house for days shouting misogynistic slurs in the hope of provoking a reaction.
Actress She described her rise to fame as similar to that of many other young female celebrities who have faced sexist and derogatory tabloids that have led them to mental health or substance abuse problems: “I remember waking up one day and ten men standing at my front door and they didn’t leave for about five years. Oh, I’m really crazy. Trust me. I lost my mind. I just managed to hide it.”
To outwit photographers, Knightley moved between two flats. But then even that idea was compromised because someone had rented an apartment across the street from her house, and she couldn’t leave the house without being caught by photographers: “Especially if I was with someone – my boyfriend, my brother, or my father. They were trying to provoke a reaction in them, provoke people into fights, so they could sue.” The actress said at one point that she chose “passive resistance”, wearing the same clothes and not moving so that the photos taken by the paparazzi would look “boring”.
By the way, Keira Knightley had previously named the movie that fans loved the most.
