A “bloke” for Keira Knightley?

Actress and Pirates star Keira Knightley wants to take a break from acting, and maybe find a ‘fella.

Currently starring in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Keira has been working non-stop since 2000, and has reached a point where she wants to have a time-out, have a life, maybe meet a guy, and hang with friends.

“I was 17-years-old when we started filming the ‘Pirates’ films and I’ll be 22 when the third one comes out, so quite a significant proportion of my life will have been spent flying around on pirate films.” Said the reed thin English beauty.

She added: “I’ve been working non-stop for five years. I’m ready to go out a little bit. You get to the point where you would love to just say to friends, ‘Yeah, I’d love to come out to the pub!’”

Earlier in press reports, Keira revealed her longed for ideal man is a “mix of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp.”

Knightley believes the two male stars morphed together would produce every girl’s “dream guy.”

“If I could have a mixture of the two that would be ideal…I think if it was possible to have a bit both, a bit of a nice guy and bit of a bad boy, that would be good.”
