Chris Pine enjoyed working with Keira Knightley on Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
The actor says he had so much fun on the set of Kenneth Branagh’s new spy thriller and describes it as a ”wonderful experience”.
In an interview with Collider.com, he said: ”I don’t know if I’ve ever had more fun with an actress. She could not have been any more professional. She’s younger than I am and she’s done probably three times more films than I have. She’d show up, super smart, friendly, charming, in it, in the moment, and then she’d wrap. There was zero drama with Keira Knightley. It was the most lovely, wonderful experience you could ask for.”
Pine is delighted he had a chance to work with Keira and Kevin Costner and admits he felt like an ”apprentice” in the presence of his more experienced co-stars.
”She would ask the right questions. I think what I respond to more often than anything is just intelligence, and she was just sharp as a tack. It was just a great joy to work with someone like Kevin who’s been doing it for so long and with Keira who’s been doing it much longer than I have. I just felt like I was an apprentice,” Chris added.
Chris Pine, thanks for such a detailed description of Keira Knigthley as an actress and person on the stage, on another side of screen. I have imagined this beautiful and talented woman named like that and was happy to hear other person’s name opinion, and I am happy it is the person, who is also famous and has got to work with her and enjoyed it.
