London (ANI): Actress Keira Knightley keeps her feet on the ground by keeping in touch with pals who knew her when she was not a famous movie star. The 22-year-old actress reveals that she likes to spend time with her old buddies, who don"t give her advice but hope that she does well. “I keep in touch with my mates," Daily Express quoted Knightley, as saying.

“They don"t give advice. They"re more likely to take me out for a glass of wine and a cigarette and hope for the best," she added. The actress asserted that her recent tragic role Cecilia in Atonement made her extremely emotional. “I read the script and sobbed and I knew it was good when my mum saw it and cried, too," Knightley said. The actress was asked if she is thinking to win any award for actor James McAvoy with actor James McAvoy and she giggled. “The best sh*****g award, do you mean," she said.
