Keira Knightley Admits She Rarely Watches Her Own Films, Even Iconic Hits

Summary
- Keira Knightley has only seen 'Love Actually' once, at its premiere over 20 years ago
- She has never watched the third 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film
- Knightley finds it "strange" to watch her own face on screen
In a recent interview, acclaimed actress Keira Knightley revealed that she rarely watches the films she has starred in, even iconic hits like the holiday romantic comedy 'Love Actually'. Knightley, who is now 40 years old, said she only saw 'Love Actually' once, at its premiere over 20 years ago, and has never watched it again since.
The 'Woman in Cabin 10' star explained that her relationship with her own work is different from how audiences view it. While many people have made 'Love Actually' a Christmas viewing tradition, watching it "again and again", Knightley finds it a "very strange" experience to see her own face on screen. In fact, she admitted that she has never even seen the third installment of the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, in which she played a lead role.
Knightley's aversion to watching her own performances is not uncommon, as she revealed that many of her peers also avoid revisiting their past projects. As a result, the acclaimed actress often forgets the details of the films she has worked on, much to the surprise of fans who approach her about specific roles and scenes.
