Keira Knightley is skipping awards season this year, and not just because she doesn’t have any nominations. The actress has revealed that she is on the mend after a life-threatening bout with stress and pleurisy left her struggling to breathe.
“I was rehearsing for this play and then I found in rehearsals it got so bad that I couldn’t stand up any more,” she told Harper’s Bazaar Australia in their latest issue.
“My body at the end of last year was breaking and I thought, ‘I’ve really got to try and do something,’” she explained. “I’ve been trying to get myself into gear.”
Knightley, 27, turned to yoga as a holistic means of healing her issue, but it only made things worse. “I’ve been doing yoga but I’ve already got injuries,” she revealed. “From f*****g yoga.”
Instead she’s been spending quality time at home in London with her boyfriend, James Righton of The Klaxons.
