Keira Knightley may quit acting for good · 2007-05-04 12:36
Actress Keira Knightley has said the pressures of being a celebrity may force her to quit acting for good.
In an interview with Elle magazine the Oscar-nominated actress said she was particularly worried about being featured on pro-anorexia websites.
The star of films like Pirates of the Caribbean and Pride and Prejudice said being famous was "completely crazy", BBC reports.
She added she did not want naturally thin women to be a "scapegoats for promoting a mental illness".
The 22-year-old actress says being the centre of media attention had forced her to reconsider her acting career.
"I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether," she said.
"I couldn't have kids in the situation I'm in now. But I could just do something else".
"That's probably what's going to happen. I'm just not so hungry any more. I made a decision very recently that I wanted a life instead."
Being featured in articles on anorexia had left her "devastated," she admitted.
