Keira Knightley on basic pay

Hollywood star Keira Knightley is receiving a basic rate of pay for her West End debut.

Keira Knightley is being paid a standard £750-per-week salary to star in the West End. Pirates Of The Caribbean star Keira is making her London stage debut in The Misanthrope at the Comedy Theatre, starring alongside fellow movie star Damien Lewis, but despite her star power has agreed to be paid the standard fee. "Keira was more than happy to do it at a basic rate," a source told the Daily Mail. "She will be taking a percentage of the box office sales as well, but she's doing this for experience more than anything else. She has been a joy to work with."
