Washington, Dec 29: Keira Knightley has blasted Hollywood residents for leading a narrow-minded life.

The ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ star says that she could never survive in such a suffocating environment.

Though Knightley, who bagged a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Atonement, has become a well-known name in Hollywood, she cannot bear to live amongst her movie-obsessed contemporaries.

The British beauty has instead chosen to stay in London, as it offers so much more variety.

"It's a funny place - I could never live in Hollywood, because there's nowhere to escape to. You find yourself sitting around a lot and every conversation you have is about the movies,” Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Cosmopolitan.

"I think you have to be in a city that has different walks of life that you can observe - and, for me, that's London," she added. (ANI)
