Keira Knightley Wouldn’t Be a “Stay-at-Home” Mom
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Keira Knightley wouldn't give up her career for children.
The actress isn't thinking about starting a family just yet but - while she insisted it isn't for her - she believes men and women should be allowed to be "stay-at-home" parents without being criticized: "Would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at."
The 28-year-old star also wants equality to extend past family life and into Hollywood, but she believes the film industry is still very much a man's world. "There aren't that many female roles. There are way fewer than there are for en and that's always been the case, so there's a lot of competition and a lot of wonderful actresses," she added.
However, she felt no pressure being surrounded by male stars in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and she got on very well with the rest of the cast. When asked if she was daunted, Keira said, "Gosh! Should I have been? Generally speaking, with this genre you are the only woman in it. But no, I didn't feel weight on my shoulders. I got on well with all the guys and that's nice."

Keira Knightley Marries James Righton
Keira Knightley married James Righton in front of 11 guests in France today. The couple - who got engaged in May 2012 after meeting through mutual pal Alexa Chung - exchanged vows shortly before midday in a low-key ceremony at the town hall in Mazan, 67 miles from Marseilles, before speeding back to her family's nearby $5 million vineyard for their reception in a silver Renault Clio.
"It was a very moving ceremony. Keira looked extremely moved by the whole thing - there were certainly tears of happiness. It was sunny day without a cloud in the sky. There were cheers of 'Well done, Keira' when she came out, but there were so few people present so they didn't make much noise. It was amusing to see them being driven away in a battered old Renault Clio - it certainly looked as though it had seen better days," a source said.
The 28-year-old Anna Karenina star wore a custom-made short strapless dress, believed to have been created by Karl Lagerfeld, pale pink ballet flats, a cropped Chanel jacket and a delicate floral garland around her head.

James recently moved in to Keira's London home, which she bought following her split from long-term boyfriend Rupert Friend in December 2010. "Keira suggested the idea and he moved his stuff in a couple of weeks ago. They want to get a puppy. It's all pretty serious," a source said in April.
The couple have also recently been house-hunting for a country home.
