Keira Knightley has advised young people seeking fame and fortune to go and work on the stock market. "It frightens me when kids go, 'I want to be famous,'" the 22-year-old told the Radio Times. "Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book, you can get into a restaurant!"
Earlier this year, Knightley said she had considered quitting acting because of the pressures of fame. She again attacked the media's obsession with her looks. "Okay, I'm on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the make-up, and airbrushes me. It's not me, it's something other people have created."
The actress added that she preferred to watch films from 50 years ago because she prefers not to know about the actors' private lives. "The magic is in the screen, not knowing what's behind it, because that ruins the magic," she said.
