Washington
(ANI):
Keira
Knightley
was
left
shell-shocked
when
an
over-enthusiastic
fan
came
up
to
her
with
abusive
rants
while
she
was
out
in
public
alone.
The
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
star
was
taken
aback
when
the
fan
tried
to
speak
to
her
while
she
was
walking
alone
close
to
her
London
home.
Keira
said
that
she
was
contemplating
future
film
projects
at
the
time
and
was
shocked
by
the
man
shouting
her
name.
"The
other
day
I
was
walking
down
the
street
and
was
really
thinking
about
this
book
I'd
been
sent.
You
know
when
you're
really
in
another
place.
Somebody
jumped
out
and
went,
''Keira
Knightley!''
Contactmusic
quoted
the
actress,
as
saying.
She
added:
"I
got
such
a
shock,
I
couldn't
say
anything
because
I'd
been
thinking
about
the
book
and
this
guy
took
incredible
offence
and
started
hurling
the
most
amazing
abuse.
And
when
she
did
not
respond
to
her
name
call,
the
fan
called
her
a
"c**t" in
a
bout
of
aggression.
"He
said,
''Who
the
f**k
do
you
think
you
are?
You're
such
a
c**t.''
All
this,
and
I'm
completely
on
my
own." Now,
Knightley
is
finding
it
hard
to
recover
from
the
encounter
and
has
confessed
that
she
was
left
feeling
"jumpy"
by
the
unexpected
taunt.
"It's
weird
thing
to
have
to
deal
with,
not
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
but
it''s
happened
enough
to
make
me
quite
jumpy,"
she
said.
