Clad in a black top, jeans and a black scarf, the “Atonement” actress partook in the usual post-show routine, greeting fans and posing for pictures before calling it a night.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, who is currently appearing in The Misanthrope at the Comedy Theatre on Panton Street, London, was reportedly left petrified of Polish fan, Marek Daniluk, 41, after he waited outside the theatre where she was performing.

Daniluk, who is thought to suffer with mental health problems, allegedly grabbed the 24-year-old actress after one performance and asked whether she’d received his gift, to which she replied: ‘Yes, thank you.’

In her statement to police, Knightly said she had become ‘worried and distressed’ by his behaviour at the stage door.

Daniluk, of Enfield, North London, was arrested on Thursday night and appeared before the City of Westminster magistrates’ court on Saturday. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and will stand trial in June.

Her upcoming film, Last Night, explores the issue of infidelity. According to Variety, the story follows a married couple tempted to cheat when they spend a night apart— the husband with a colleague and his wife with a past romance.

“When we were making it, the arguments on set were just amazing about whether mental infidelity is better or worse than physical infidelity,” she said.

That is a question the film explores, and according to Knightley, “there was a huge gender divide on the question.” Women said “mental infidelity is 10 times worse” and “most men” said physical is “the ultimate betrayal,” she said.

On criticism: “How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a s— actress?” is a question she always encounters.

Surrounding herself with people who tell her the truth: “You have to be selective about the people whose advice and opinions you take,” she said. “I know [my parents] would never tell me I was s— because they were trying to hurt me. I t would always come from a very sincere place.”

The 24-year-old British beauty premiered in the production earlier this month and wore the same Burberry coat!

A source said: “It’s considered a great honour to be painted by Mitch. He is a highly respected nude painter and is painting as number of subjects for a new exhibition next year. He is delighted Keira decided to take part.”

The 24-year-old actress – who is widely considered to be one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women – is currently starring in play ‘The Misanthrope’, which is running in London’s West End theatre district.

In the production, a modern-day version of Moliere’s 17th Century comedy work, Keira plays a vacuous Hollywood starlet.
