Often, when a film wraps and directors are asked about working with big actors, it’s all praise. It’s a different story, however, with “Begin Again” director John Carney and Keira Knightley.
Carney, promoting his latest movie “Sing Street,” spoke about working with Knightley in 2013 drama “Begin Again,” saying he wouldn’t like to work with the actress again.
“I’ll never make a film with supermodels again,” he told the Independent in an interview published this weekend.
Knightley has indeed appeared in ad campaigns for big brands like Chanel, as well as on covers of major fashion magazines. She did, though, make a name for herself in acting first, with 1995’s “A Village Affair” marking her first film role.
Knightley played a songwriter dumped by her musician boyfriend, played by Adam Levine, in “Begin Again.” She then embarks on a new path in making music with Mark Ruffalo’s character.
