The U.K.‘s
Daily Mail is
reporting that she of Oscar-nominated and
Pirates of the Caribbean fame, Keira Knightly, is taking part in a small, indie short film. Wha? Well, actually when you read on, the reason she’s doing it is for the director, her boyfriend, Rupert Friend. (Large, collective
groan!) Is it just me or does this whole, “I want to work with my boyfriend or husband on a movie” thing
never work out? It’s career suicide sometimes—and we’ve got seven or so reasons Keira should have reconsidered…

I can’t believe you dissed “You, Me and Dupree.” Surely, it’s one of the great works of American cinematic art! Anyway, embarrassingly, yes, I’ve seen it. A couple of times. Blame cable movie channels.
To the point, though, I wasn’t aware that Wonky Nose and Kate were a couple prior to the filming. I think, in that particular case, the romance started during or after the filming, not vice versa.

Speaking of couples working together, I thought that Revolutionary Road was pretty good.

Maybe it’s just because I’m a huge SMG fan, but I think these two are probably my favorite celeb couple!

Keira Knightly and Rupert Friend have already been in a movie together, Pride & Prejudice.

Kate Beckinsale’s husband, Len Wiseman, directed her in the first two Underworld movies. If anything, those made her a bigger star (especially the first one), so it is possible for things to work out.
