The ‘Atonement‘ actress, who lives in London, insists there is more to life than acting and fame, and insists she feels suffocated when she visits Tinseltown.
She said: “It’s a funny place, I could never live in Hollywood, there’s no where to escape to. You find yourself sitting around a lot and every conversation you have is about the movies. I think you have to be in a city that has different walks of life that you can observe – and, for me, that’s London.”
One of the things Keira most enjoys about the UK capital is the fact she can go out to her local pub and sit and enjoy a drink without being hassled by fans or paparazzi.
She added to Cosmopolitan magazine: “I get really homesick when I ‘m away. I bought a house just before I did ‘Pride and Prejudice’ that I never lived in because I was away so much.
I just want to be able to say this is my home, and this is where I shop and go to the pub. I have a great local pub in London, where the landlord is really nice. I usually have a beer and sit in the corner – only half a pint because I can’t handle a full pint.” – Monsters and Critics
