Actor Keira Knightley says it is difficult to judge an actor’s performance in comedy films and that is the reason why she refrains from doing them. In an interview with a magazine, Knightley said she looks for those parts which challenge her as a performer.
“I love a good challenge. If I don’t get out of my comfort zone, if a role doesn’t scare me in some way, I get bred. I love doing great dramatic films and I’m fascinated by darker characters,” she said. “Maybe that’s why comedies aren’t really me. The first time you say a joke, everyone laughs on the set. Then you repeat the line in the next few takes and nobody laughs so you haven’t the faintest idea whether or not you’re doing a good job,” she added. (PTI)
