Keira Knightley has hit out at photographers who follow her – because too much attention is not good for her film career.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star insists the biggest stars are hardly ever pictured in public, and that over-exposure of Hollywood A-listers puts people off seeing their movies.

And she claims some snappers deliberately hurl insults at her to try to provoke a reaction and get a better picture.

She says, “I know that I am very lucky, but sometimes the intrusion is a very predatory force. When you are leaving your front door and paparazzi who are a lot bigger than you are shouting, ‘You’re a whore’ to try and make you cry – that obviously is not great. I am told by a lot of the paparazzi who follow me that they are helping my career but, by that logic, Paris Hilton should be the biggest box-office catch in the world and she isn’t.”

And Knightley adds: “It is not good for any actor when your life becomes the story because, in your acting work, you are trying to tell a different story. What’s more, there is actual proof that if actors get too much attention, people just don’t go and see the film. That sort of over-exposure is something to be wary of.”

Keira Knightley was left physically shaken after a fan turned on her with a expletive loaded rant while she was out in public alone.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was walking alone close to her London home when she was surprised by a overzealous fan who tried to speak to her.

The actress admits she was thinking of future film projects at the time and was shocked by the man shouting her name.

But, when the actress failed to respond to her name being called, the fan became aggressive – calling her a “c**t”. And the star was left feeling “jumpy” by the unexpected taunt.

She says, “The other day I was walking down the street and was really thinking about this book I’d been sent. You know when you’re really in another place. Somebody jumped out and went, ‘Keira Knightley!’ I got such a shock, I couldn’t say anything because I’d been thinking about the book and this guy took incredible offense and started hurling the most amazing abuse. He said, ‘Who the f**k do you think you are? You’re such a c**t.’ All this, and I’m completely on my own.”

And Knightley is finding it hard to recover from the encounter.

She adds, “It’s weird thing to have to deal with, not on a day-to-day basis, but it’s happened enough to make me quite jumpy.”

Keira Knightley doesn’t care if women hate her – because it is natural for females to loathe celebrities of the same gender.

The 23-year-old insists it doesn’t bother her if women detest her, as the backlash is part of being in the spotlight.

She says, “If you put yourself in the public forum, it’s what you put yourself up for. I don’t need to read it. Manipulation is something women do a lot. Women get obsessed with other women – love them or hate them. That line is very easy to cross.”

The Atonement star also responded to a quote from The Guardian, which read: “If you want to befriend a woman, ask her the question: ‘What do you think of Keira Knightley?’ In the resulting torrent of bile and loathing, you will bond.”

Knightley added: “I’m doing a good thing for women then.”

Keira Knightley hates being pursued by the paparazzi – because it ruins her social life.

The Atonement actress is well-known for her distaste of snappers who try and secure photos of her personal life.

And the star has admitted her pals fail to invite her to social events in case they are harassed by eager photographers.

She tells Britain’s Tatler magazine, “One of them (friends) asked me if I would mind not going out with them to a restaurant one evening as they find the whole paparazzi thing alarming. I don’t blame them. It can be very intimidating.”
