Although the film was a huge success, the young actress struggled with the scathing reviews that targeted her performance as Elizabeth Swann.

And I think [Pride &amp; Prejudice] was the first one that was a phenomenally big success, but was also critically acclaimed. So I remember it coming out maybe the same year, maybe around the same time as Pirates 2. And I got the worst reviews ever for that, and then also being nominated for an Oscar at the same time\u2014it was, in my 21-year-old head, quite confusing.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>        Related<br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/orlando-bloom-responds-to-keira-knightleys-recollections-of-pirates-of-the-caribbean\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n            Orlando Bloom responds to Keira Knightley\u2019s recollections of Pirates of the Caribbean        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Knightley appeared in the first three installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and later made a cameo in Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The hours are insane.
