Keira Knightley was born in a family of two British actors, William Knightley and Sharman MacDonald. Her mother has already given a birth to Keira’s brother Caleb, when she decided to become a playwright and planned to sell her first play. Then Sharman had betted with her hubby that she would become a mother for the second time if she managed to sell the play. The play was sold and soon small Keira appeared in this world.

The girl was interested in acting from 6 years old and begged her parents to hire an agent for her, but they put a condition in front of the girl. She had to become one the best pupils in her class.
