Keira’s a cage fighter

LOOKING back on her career, Keira Knightley says she felt ‘caged by being a sex object’ in her first big movie Pirates Of The Caribbean alongside Johnny Depp playing the nubile Elizabeth Swann. ‘So the roles afterwards were about trying to break out of that.’ Surprising then they included Anna Karenina, Love Actually, Pride & Prejudice and Atonement. In all of them, she came across as . . . a sex object.
