Keira Knightley in world premiere of 'The Duchess' at Odeon Leicester: Keira Knightley isn't sad she won't be a part of the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean. The actress, who starred in the first three swashbuckling films, says of the blockbuster franchise, 'I had an amazing time on it. It was a rather substantial chunk of my life. I was 17 when I started it and 21 when I finished.'But the now 25-year-old says she is ready to move on.

'Three films, it was wonderful, but that was it and I'm on a different path. I can't wait to see the new one. I'm fine not being a part of it,' she told Parade magazine. The British performer also raised the possibility of a life away from the silver screen. 'At the moment, what I want to do is make films and, therefore, all is good, when it isn't, I'll rethink, and I'll probably do something else.'
