After two years, she made her big screen debut in Innocent Lies. It was around the 2000s when Keira’s career kicked off. After starring in Bend It Like Beckham, she landed a role in the popular franchise Pirates of the Caribbean. On a personal note, she got married to James Righton with one daughter.

She recently starred in Colette and is currently thinking about whether to pursue becoming a director.
