## History

### Volume 4 (2002)

She got the role of Elizabeth Swann in the film *Pirates of the Caribbean* and starred alongside the two male leads - Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp. During the film, the three of them became quite good friends as all of them were quite genuine and upfront about their thoughts.

### Volume 5 (2003)

Her agent and Helen Hermann, Matthew's agent, teamed up to gain more attention and resources for their clients; the two decided to have their clients enter into a relationship and hype it up so that they could compete with Johnny Depp's fame. Initially, Keira Knightley was a bit hesitant but eventually agreed and the crew decided to start the plan after she turned 18.

By early April, Matthew and Keira Knightley began their fake relationship after the crew began publicity for *Pirates of the Caribbean* which was set to release in May. A few days later, Matthew and Keira went on their "first date" where Matthew bought her black pearl necklace at Tiffany's before the two had dinner, all of which was photographed by Jelena Boyar; that evening, the media was flooded with photos of Matthew and Keira together with *Pirates of the Caribbean* being the biggest beneficiary.

Next, the two went to watch the Los Angeles Lakers play at Staples Center which was filled with many other celebrities, including Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore and Leonardo Dicaprio and his girlfriend, Gisele Bündchen; still, as fresh faces in Hollywood, they gained a lot of attention.

Matthew also attempted to warn her from taking the role of female lead of *King Arthur* by informing her that taking a costume action role right after *Pirates of the Caribbean* would not affect her negatively but she informed him that she had already signed the contract. She stated that even if the film failed she would be fine thanks to her recurring role in *Pirates of the Caribbean*.

Next week, the two walked the red carpet of the premiere of *Finding Nemo* together where they publicly revealed their relationship by kissing on the red carpet. Still, they went to their separate residences after the premiere. After the film was released, the audience and the critics both criticized her role for being useless and serving no purpose. She became very upset when she realized that her role that was supposed to be the female lead had turned into a supporting role. She decided that she wouldn't take any more commercial films and would instead take independent films to hone her acting so that no one would be able to criticize her about her acting in the future.

On the Monday after the film's release, Keira Knightley moved in with Matthew at his North Hollywood house. She had originally asked him to prepare a separate room for her as they had planned for their relationship to be just for show, however, after the two entered the house, their hot-blooded youthful bodies were unable to resist the temptation and the two slept together. However, their relationship was still just a shell and the two decided to break up after two weeks.
