Nick Hamm's dark thriller The Hole (2001) kept her busy during 2000, and featured her first nude scene (15 at the time, the film was not released until she was 16 years old). Keira's first serious boyfriend was her Princess of Thieves (2001) co-star Del Synnott, and they later co-starred in Peter Hewitt's 'work of fart' Thunderpants (2002). She reappeared on British television in 1999 as "Rose Fleming" in Alan Bleasdale's faithful reworking of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist (1999), and traveled to Romania to film her first title role in Walt Disney's Princess of Thieves (2001) in which she played Robin Hood's daughter, Gwyn. By now, she was beginning to receive far more substantial roles and was starting to turn work down as one project and her schoolwork was enough to contend with. She went to an ordinary council-run school in nearby Teddington and had no idea what she wanted to do when she left. It was several years before agreement was reached over which scenes featured Keira as the queen and which featured Natalie! Keira had no formal training as an actress and did it out of pure enjoyment. The first time Keira's name was mentioned around the world was when it was revealed (in a plot twist kept secret by director George Lucas) that she played Natalie Portman's decoy "Padme" to Portman's "Amidala" in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). This was followed by small parts in the British crime series The Bill (1984), an exiled German princess in The Treasure Seekers (1996) and a much more substantial role as the young "Judith Dunbar" in Giles Foster's adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher's novel Coming Home (1998), alongside Peter O'Toole, Penelope Keith and Joanna Lumley. Her first multi-scene performance came in A Village Affair (1995), an adaptation of the lesbian love story by Joanna Trollope. Instead, she worked incredibly hard, encouraged by her family, until the problem had been overcome by her early teens. She was not officially dyslexic as she never sat the formal tests required of the British Dyslexia Association. It was discovered at an early age that Keira had severe difficulties in reading and writing. She was granted one at the age of six and performed in her first TV role as "Little Girl" in Royal Celebration (1993), aged seven. Brought up immersed in the acting profession from both sides - writing and performing - it is little wonder that the young Keira asked for her own agent at the age of three. Her father is English, while her Scottish-born mother is of Scottish and Welsh origin. An older brother, Caleb Knightley, was born in 1979. She is the daughter of actor Will Knightley and actress turned playwright Sharman Macdonald. However, there has been radio silence surrounding the untitled sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film, including about the potential return of Knightley's Elizabeth.Keira Christina Knightley was born Main the South West Greater London suburb of Richmond. And since the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales, fans have created petitions for Depp to return as the Captain of the Black Pearl. Based on the eponymous attraction at Walt Disney's theme parks, the franchise focuses on the swashbuckling adventures of Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. Released in July 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was just the beginning of the mass popularity surrounding the film series. According to Daily Mail, the actress raked in around $3 million for her short Dead Men Tell No Tales appearance. "I’m not sure, but I believe it was added after," Thwaites said in reference to Knightley's cameo. The actor spoke to HuffPost about how they shot the footage of his on-screen mom around 14 months after principal photography. Brenton Thwaites played Henry Turner, Will and Elizabeth's son, in the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean.
