Keira Knightley's age in the first movie
Keira Knightley was 17 years old while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. She was a minor, so her Mother traveled with her to every shooting location. We would barely remember what we did when we were 17, but it doesn't matter because we weren't in the Pirates series of shooting a Disney Blockbuster alongside Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp.
