		</div><p>Keira Knightley has said she considered giving up her Hollywood career in her early 20s due to the pressure following her rise to fame.</p>
<p>The actress, now 33, was 17 when she became famous for her part in Bend It Like Beckham, before going on to star in 2003 big-screen hits Love Actually and Pirates Of The Caribbean, propelling her to global stardom.</p>
<p>Knightley revealed in October that she had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at the age of 22, and she has now said that she almost gave up her entire career in that period.</p>
<p>She told The Sunday Times’ Style magazine that her friends and family wanted her to give it up, and said: <em>“I did think about it.</em></p>
<p><em>“Particularly at the point when I had a breakdown.</em></p>
<p><em>“I had PTSD and panic attacks. I literally couldn’t work for a year and I didn’t know whether there would be an end to that.</em></p>
<p><em>“I have a super-solid background and thank f*** for that. My family and my small but very close group of friends just wrapped me up. And I think, without that, it would have been a very different story.”</em></p>
<p>She added: <em>“I knew I always had somebody there to cuddle me who didn’t want anything from me. Ultimately I didn’t want them (the media and paparazzi) to win. The only thing I want to do is make films.”</em></p>
<p>The Oscar-nominated actress, who was recently honoured with an OBE for her services to drama and charity, also said that she misses going out now that she is a mother.</p>
<p>Knightley and husband James Righton welcomed daughter Edie in 2015.</p>

<p>She said she “loved” going out in her younger days, and added: <em>“I felt like a big part of myself was the self that was out dancing until six in the morning most nights unless I was on a film.</em></p>
<p><em>“That’s a difficult shift for any couple when you have a child. I don’t think we would have survived physically for that much longer if we’d kept going at that rate, but it was a big shift.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think the first year we tried to pretend that we could have that life still, and we can’t — not being the parents that we want to be.”</em></p>
<p>Knightley currently appears in new Disney film The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, and will next star in period drama Colette, released in January.</p>
