Keira Knightley Tailors Up By Jackie Nickerson In Sunday Times Style Magazine December 23, 2018

Actor Keira Knightley is styled by Verity Parker in refined, modern-architecture luxe separates lensed by Jackie Nickerson for The Sunday Times Style Magazine UK December 23, 2018./ Hair by Sam McKnight; makeup by Georgina Gayle

Knightly revealed in October that she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at age 22 and considered giving up her acting career. Especially in our judgement-driven, social-media patrol world, stardom carries its own dark side. With this topic so front and center in our daily lives, AOC just took the time to search for the clinical definition of PTSD — which can seem a bit self-centered when injured vets are walking around with their limbs blown off. We share the famous Mayo Clinic’s medical definition of PTSD.

Knightley’s PTSD led to a breakdown and an inability to work for a year.

“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.”

Knightley added: “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.”

The actor, who also speaks her changing life with husband James Righton and their daughter Edie, currently appears in new Disney film The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, and will next star in the period drama ‘Colette’, released in January 2019.
