John Carney vs. Keira Knightley: "I've Learned I'll Never Make a Supermodel Movie Again"
Irish film director John Carney has claimed that Keira Knightley's performance in his film 'Begin Again' was not to his liking.
Despite her undoubted professional and artistic success both in film and on television, skills that she began to show when she was 6 years old, Keira Knightley will not always be seen with the same eyes by all professionals in the field. sector.
In 2014 the British actress played the film 'Begin Again', directed by John Carney, and since then two years have passed in which the director has preferred to reserve his opinion towards Knightley's performance. However, with the recent premiere of her latest film, 'Sing Street', Carney has made some compromising statements about the actress.
"It's not that I hate what Hollywood is, but I'd like to work with curious, movie-worthy actors, rather than movie stars. I don't want to put Keira down, but it's tough being an actor and it takes a certain level of honesty and self-analysis and I definitely don't think she was ready for that in the movie," the director said during the statement.
"As much as I tried to make it work I think she failed to become a guitarist and songwriter," John Carney continued.

With two Oscar nominations in the category of 'Best Actress' with the films 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'The Imitation Game', Keira Knightley has been considered a good actress for her work and not for her looks. Still, John Carney insists that after working with the actress, "I've learned I'll never do a supermodel movie again."
And, as if that were not enough, the statements conclude by commenting on his latest premiere, 'Sing Street', accompanied by a final contribution about Knightley: "This film is fantastic, I am very surprised, it is a small and personal film without Keira Knightley in it. It's really rewarding."
