MAAARING handy arena for self-promotion ang Twitter, pero inamin ni Keira Knightley na 12 oras lamang ang itinagal niya sa social networking site at kaagad binura ang kanyang account.
Sinubukan ng 28-anyos na aktres – na minsang inilarawan ang Internet na ‘dehumanising’ – ang 21st century microblogging pool sa pagbubukas ng isang account gamit ang pekeng pangalan, pero kaagad itong binura nang mapatunayan niya ang kanyang unang pangamba sa social media.
Aniya sa February edition ng Harper’s Bazaar UK: “It made me feel a little bit like being in a school playground and not being popular and standing on the sidelines kind of going, ‘Argh.’’
Ang kanyang pag-iwas sa social networking sphere – na ang dibisyon ng fans at celebrities ay nagiging blurred at ambiguous – ay maaaring iugnay sa misconception na siya ay ‘haughty,’ ngunit ipinagkibitbalikat lamang ito ni Keira.
‘No, I think that’s fine… I like being private,” aniya. “I haven’t asked a lot of the actresses who I really admire, ‘How do
you do it?’ because I don’t want to know.
“Maybe I’m childish in that way; I just don’t want to know about your life.’
Sa kabila ng napakatagumpay na career simula nang gampanan ang prominenteng papel sa 2002 sleeper hit na Bend It Like Beckham, sinabi ni Keira na nilalabanan pa rin niya ang uphill battle sa male dominated industry.
“I go to work at 5.30 in the morning; I wouldn’t get back probably until nine o’clock at night. Most of the guys that I talk to – and I’ve spoken to a lot of guys about it – they say ‘My wife does everything.’ You think, ‘Why wasn’t I thinking about this five years ago?’”
Dagdag niya: “Hollywood has a really long way to go. I don’t think that anybody can deny that, really, and I think as much as you are getting more women playing lead roles… they’re still pretty few and far between.”
Aminado siya na makalipas ang mahigit 20 taon sa industry, ngayon lang niya narating ang punto na nagiging confident na siya sa kanyang sariling kakayahan na hindi kailangan ang approval ng ibang tao.
“(I was) spending so much time being neurotic and beating myself up (that I thought) actually, if I didn’t, I might get further by just going, ‘Oh, f**k it.”
Magbabalik si Keira sa big screen ngayong Enero sa Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit ni Kenneth Branagh kasama sina Chris Pine at Kevin Costner.
Ipalalabas ang pelikula sa Enero 31.
