Speaking of the entertainment industry, most people may think of all kinds of melons, and basically most of them are all kinds of struggles, and some are even very ruining.
But is there really only something negative in this circle? That's not necessarily true, such as the British actress --- Kayla Knightley.
Speaking of this star, domestic children's shoes should still have an impression.
After all, she is an important character in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and She has been "adrift" with Captain Depp on the sea for a long time, and it is difficult for everyone to remember her.
However, everyone knows that there is no pie in the sky, and Kayla's efforts before receiving this movie series are also the key to her success.
Born in 1985 on the outskirts of London, Kayla Knightley's parents were both theatre actresses, and since she was a child, she has also set herself on her acting career, and even at the age of 3, she has asked her parents for an "agent".
When she was 6 years old, the family really found an agent for her and wanted her child star to debut.
However, Lady Luck did not have a crush on the girl, and she was soon convicted of "dyslexia".
At that time, the circle did not have such a thing as a so-called digital line, and if you really wanted a digital line, you would have to agree to it because you have a certain amount of coffee.
Suffering from dyslexia, it basically announced that Kayla Jr. was out of touch with the profession of an actor.
However, Xiao Kaila is very stubborn, she constantly forces herself to read and speak, in order to meet the minimum requirements of the actor, and her family also visits any method that can effectively treat and improve dyslexia.
After five years of persistence, Little Kayla was able to overcome this obstacle initially, her reading and speaking ability was basically no problem, but the speed of speech still could not be too fast, and the voice could not be too loud.
During this time, she has actually begun to appear in various performances, but they are all dramas, small dramas, and she also plays some small roles.
Soon, she received a very important opportunity.
The crew of "Star Wars Episode 1" sent her an invitation.
The IP of "Star Wars" is a national-level movie in the United States, and its influence far exceeds all series including the current Marvel Universe, and Kayla, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, joined this movie, which is indeed a very good start.
However, don't think that Kayla's background is too strong, or that she broke into some big name at a young age, so people will want her, after all, it has been said before that British stars in Hollywood in the United States are actually not so popular, and it is very difficult to mix well.
In fact, the reason she was able to appear in this movie was simple.
She looks a lot like Natalie Portman, who plays the queen in it, and her role in the film is that of a stand-in.
To be honest, these two people are indeed..... Very similarly, after becoming famous later, Kayla also said that sometimes some fans at the airport think she is Natalie, and then she happily takes photos with fans without puncturing.
From another point of view, this is also quite sad, Natalie because of "This Killer is not too cold", the same age is already a hot actress in Hollywood, and Kayla at this time still has to rely on her own appearance to get such a chance.
Who doesn't want to be themselves?
However, although she starred in "Star Wars" and entered Hollywood, Kayla did not mix well next, and the films she played were ordinary.
Although the acting career is flat, But Kayla still won a lot of industry praise, such as the film "Innocence" this film, the director commented that Kayla's acting skills are obviously not enough class, but the room for improvement is very large, but this girl's momentum to improve herself is really a bit scary.
This drive also made Kayla shine in the next movie "I Love Beckham".
This film is a very typical youth film, a comedy about dreams, in order to shoot it well, Kayla underwent a three-month football training, bumping and bruising her whole body.
At first, Kayla didn't expect much from the film, telling her friends that she didn't have much confidence in the film and just treated it as part of her daily routine.
Yes, even if it is not a "big project" in her eyes, this girl will try desperately to do it.
After the release of the film, the box office performance was surprisingly good, and it received great repercussions in both the United States and the United Kingdom, and Kayla's performance in it began to attract more attention from the industry.
The first person to notice her was Disney.
As we all know, Disney's main audience is teenagers, so it loves young girls who look positive, and Kayla's role in "I Love Beckham" is exactly such a type of role.
As a result, this girl who is very eye-catching with Disney received an original movie conceived by the pirate ship project in Disneyland, which is "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Next, Kayla became popular because of this series and quickly became a world-renowned actress.
I have to say that as a veteran who has been in the circle for many years, Kayla knows that although she is on fire because of "Pirates", she can't eat this series for the rest of her life.
What to do? It is to take advantage of the fact that they are still eating this dividend, and quickly enhance their commercial value.
As a result, she used her own advantages during this period to participate in many movies, including "Pride and Prejudice" that won her an Oscar nomination for best actress.
As for the other Golden Globe Awards, British Academy Awards, British Independence Awards, etc., they are simply too numerous to count, and they have been selected by the media as one of the most beautiful actresses in the world, so they are called "Queen of Period Pieces" by the media.
But don't think it all came easily, Kayla's sudden fame, coupled with the intensity of the work, led to a period of post-traumatic stress disorder, mental collapse, and finally had to undergo hypnotherapy to stabilize the spirit.
As a British actor, the effort to gain a foothold in a foreign Hollywood is unimaginable.
Of course, there are many people in Hollywood who are more successful or even harder than Kayla, and there are many actors who are better than her in terms of achievements, and she has long passed the peak of her career.
But it is undeniable that kayla has indeed done a very good job in terms of the professional identity of an actor, compared with those stars who rely on relationships or simply rely on looks to beat traffic, the public still recognizes these step-by-step actors.
