Keira Knightley reveals why she won’t join major franchise like 'Pirates' 

Keira Knightley is opening up about life as a mother and a wife. The Pirates of the Caribbean star is married to British musician James Righton and shares two daughters, Edie, 9, and Delilah, 5, with him.

The Atonement actress said she has taken a major step back from work because she wants to be there for her daughters.

“I couldn’t go job to job [abroad] now. It wouldn’t be in any way fair on them, and I wouldn’t want to. I’ve chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I’ve had to take a major step back,” she told The Times of London.

The Boston Strangler star said she can’t join a major franchise like Pirates, again, explaining, “The hours are insane. It’s years of your life, you have no control over where you’re filming, how long you’re filming, what you’re filming.”

Elsewhere she revealed the dynamin between her and husband James. “It’s good for an actress and a musician, isn’t it?” Knightley remarked. “We really annoy each other. But, f—, do we laugh.”

The Pride and Prejudice star shared that her husband is an extrovert, whereas she finds it hard to mingle at parties and let loose.

“If James comes, they’re fun. James believes it is his right to have a good time and he will create it anywhere he goes,” Knightley revealed.

She added: “Unless I’m really drunk, and you can’t be if you’re at one of those events, I find it quite intense and quite difficult. James manages to break formality with people and I can’t do that.”

Keira Knightley has been married to James Righton since 2013.
