Keira Knightley has recently shared her unique way to learn dialogues for movie and TV projects.
The Atonement star reveals that sketching is part of her process for learning line for her new projects.
Keira tells The Guardian, “I've always loved drawing.”
The Pride And Prejudice actress mentions that she draws “old men’s faces with very detailed lines”.
Since she’s dyslexic, Keira notes that she wants to “get the words off the page as quickly as possible”.
Bend it like Beckham star also points out that she “reads the entire script aloud and studies the material as an audio file”.
“I record the whole script, then listen to it while doing these quite intricate drawings to get the lines into my head,” explains the 40-year-old.
Keira further says that she gets into “a really meditative state” as her scripts are “full of pictures of old men's faces”.
“Now that my husband and friends know I do it, they collect pictures of old men's faces to give me… I don’t think I’d like to go on Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year, because then I couldn't learn my lines,” clarifies the Pirates of the Caribbean actress.
However, Keira believes that if the guy might be sitting in the room, that “wouldn't work at all”.
Meanwhile, the actress also published a picture book for children, titled I Love You Just the Same, which she illustrated herself.
