Hello Keira fans! It’s been a little while since we’ve been able to provide you with any Keira-related news (understandably), so I’ve taken the opportunity to update the gallery with Blu-ray screen captures of her role as Katharine Gun in Official Secrets. For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, I’d recommend doing so, especially if you’re a fan of political thrillers. Her performance as the real-life British translator isn’t one of her most memorable (at least for me), but she does a great job with it. And a little heads up, there’s very little natural light in this movie, so it’s probably not the best to watch in a darkened room! For now, enjoy the captures, and stay safe!

She risked everything to stop an unjust war. Her government called her a traitor. Based on world-shaking true events, Official Secrets tells the gripping story of Katharine Gun (Keira Knightley), a British intelligence specialist whose job involves routine handling of classified information. One day in 2003, in the lead up to the Iraq War, Gun receives a memo from the NSA with a shocking directive: the US is enlisting Britain’s help in collecting compromising information on UN Security Council members in order to blackmail them into voting in favor of an invasion of Iraq. Unable to watch the world be rushed into an illegal war, Gun makes the gut-wrenching decision to defy her government and leak the memo to the press. So begins an explosive chain of events that will ignite an international firestorm, expose a vast political conspiracy, and put Gun and her family directly in harm’s way.

After last year’s hiatus following the birth of Delilah, Keira is now back in the spotlight for the promotion of Misbehaviour, gracing the cover of the March issue of PORTER. How gorgeous does she look? In addition to the new photoshoot, there’s an accompanying interview, which I have attached below. Enjoy!

PORTER – “What are you meant to aim for as a woman?” asks Keira Knightley, throwing up her hands imploringly. Rhetorical, yes, but the question underpins much of what we are here – in an east London café, the kind where the lighting is atmospheric enough that you might not spot a two-time Oscar nominee sitting in the corner – to discuss. Whether it’s the feminist narrative of her latest movie, the importance of championing female storytellers or raising two daughters, women are at the forefront of today’s conversation.

Growing up in the suburbs of south-west London with her actor father, playwright mother and older brother, equality was the norm for Knightley at home. “A lot of the time, my mum was earning more than my dad and that was never an issue,” she shrugs. “I mean, sometimes he earned more, sometimes she earned more. I was not raised to think that was anything other than normal.”

The 34-year-old actor – whose career took off stratospherically in her teenage years – found it a shock, then, “coming into the world where there are actually articles saying how much [my partner] earned and how much I earned, because it’s newsworthy that a woman could possibly earn more.”

Knightley married musician James Righton in 2013, and the couple welcomed their first daughter, Edie, in 2015, then Delilah was born last September. Still technically on maternity leave, she is delighted to note the absence of baby sick on her sweater today.

I’ve updated the gallery with Blu-ray captures from one of Keira’s most recent roles in The Aftermath-which unfortunately only received a limited US release and some negative reviews from critics. Maybe I’m slightly biased, but I really enjoyed this one. It is not without flaws, but the performances are strong, the story is original and it’s also a beautiful film to watch. With that being said, enjoy these gorgeous captures of Keira!

Over 300 photos of Keira’s first post-pregnancy (congratulations to Keira and James!) red carpet appearance have been uploaded to our gallery. Looking beautiful in a white Simone Rocha gown, she walked the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival alongside the cast and crew of Official Secrets, as well as Katharine Gun (who Keira potrays in the movie).

Ahead of its U.S. release later this month, I’ve updated the gallery with a batch of new images from Keira’s role as British whisteblower Katharine Gun in Official Secrets-which also stars Matthew Goode, Ralph Fiennes and Matt Smith. Enjoy!

On Friday (May 3), Keira and husband James Righton attended the Chanel Cruise 2020 Collection Presentation at the Grand Palais in Paris. The show marked the debut solo collection of Virginie Viard, who is the fashion house’s new artistic director following the death of Karl Lagerfeld in February. The appearance has also confirmed recent rumors that Keira is pregnant with her second child – and we couldn’t be happier for her and James! Many congratulations 🙂

To coincide with the film’s US release, Keira was in New York earlier today for various press stops to promote The Aftermath. First up, BUILD Series, where she appeared alongside director James Kent. I’ve added some photos to the gallery, so be sure to take a look.
