Keira Knightley might quit acting?

Starlet Keira Knightley has recently made a threat that she will stop acting because of all the focus on her personal life:
The celebrity thing’s completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether.
"I couldn’t have kids in the situation I’m in now. But I could just do something else. That’s probably what’s going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead."
Oh, good Lord! What EVER shall we do without your hard-hitting portrayals of swooning 18th century damsels in distress? The horror!

I love all her movies… However, she should do what is best for herself. We only get one shot at life. If she wants privacy and happiness that is what she should do.

WTF MATES?
Wow when did this come to. Kiera please if your reading this I want you to know that they’re many ppl who are devastated by this news. Trust me I’m one of them. You and Johnny Depp are my idols to acting. I once told my class that one day if I ever get the chance of acting and choosing a movie with any actor of actress. I told them that it would be you. Im not saying this to make you feel bad or even pity me thats not what I want from you but what I want you to reconsider this. If what this life is making you quit acting the one out of many good things you good at. Well I’ll just be crushed and burn. The only idol I will have left is Johnny Depp. And I know that someday I will have the chance to meet him. Just like I want to meet you. I would like to tell you why your my female idol but I think I wrote to much already.
SINCERELY.
(and praying for a good outcome)
Mity.

Keira, I love you soooooooooooooooo much. You can quit if you want to though, I know that many people will miss your movies, but it is totally your descision and I would be making the same decision you are now if i was an actress. I can imagine how hard it would be to be a celebrity.
Choose wisely,

i don’t care what she does but i think her lips are botox lips and she is skinny as hell and gives young women bad example. Maybe that is why she is not happy…Holywood is a tough place and not everyone has the balls to take it.

Eva you are really stupid!
Cause her lips are perfects and her body is perfect also, and she example is very good! But is posibility that you have envy!
Keira is very happy whith she and with her life!
Oh, and she has got the balls to take hollywood!
Keira is the best!

I love Keira Knightly as much as the next guy, but why are some of you making posts like as if you’re speaking to her? There are approximately as many blogs online as there are parallel universes, the chances of her reading this are somewhere between 0 and 0.000000000000000000000000000001.

How could you possibly idolize keira at all, she is one of the worst actresses to have ever lived. I personally hope she does quit seeing how she ruins any movie that she partakes in.
