Kira, which is now 33 years old, first fame received, being still actually a teenager. "For photos of the breakdown of stars paid great money, - recalls the actress. "Because you, the audience, wanted the stars sexual, but at the same time wanted to punish them for this sexuality." And if the stars did not break down themselves, it was necessary to force them. "
"So suddenly the degree of cruelty rose greatly, and it felt it was felt right in the air, and, of course, no one would have responded well ... It was so obvious that they want to make me break, but I was not going to give them something What they want - so every day I went out of the house with a feeling that I go to war, "Knightley told.
Psychological pressure led to the fact that the actress with difficulty could be in public, and in 2008, before appearing at the BAFTA ceremony (Kira was nominated for a premium for the role in the "redemption"), Knightley was forced to resort to hypnosis. "I used the hypnotherapy to reach the BAFTA red path and not provoke a panic attack," explains the actress.

At 22, Kira had a nervous breakdown, after which she took a break for a year and turned to those skilled in the art. "Because of all, I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder," Cyrus admitted, adding that after that he was attended by a psychotherapist for a very long time.
