Keira loves period dramas - Jan 1 2008
She’s already been applauded for her role in Atonement and Keira Knightley has now revealed why she is attracted to period dramas.

The British beauty has made her name starring in period films, such as this year’s Atonement and Silk, 2005’s Pride And Prejudice, which won her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in 2006, and 2004’s King Arthur.

"I think I like period pieces because they take me so far from my reality," she said in the January issue of Interview.

"They give you scope for imagination, and I really like that. When you’re doing a period piece, it’s one step closer to a fantasy, and that’s what I get a real kick out of."

The 22-year-old continued: "While I enjoy comedies, I don’t particularly want to do them. I’m fascinated by tragedies or drama. It’s the drama queen in me.

"I want to explore them, partly because I don’t want to explore them in my real life, I guess. It’s human behaviour, and I’m constantly fascinated by it."

Keira is being tipped tipped for Oscar and Golden Globe success for her part in Atonement.
