Washington: Hollywood actress Keira Knightley has hinted that her relationship with boyfriend Rupert Friend is going through a rough patch.
The British actress, who is currently starring in the West End show `The Misanthrope` where she portrays young movie star Jennifer, spoke of the similarities between her and her on-stage persona, admitting they both have love life "problems".
"Do I recognise being an extremely well-known young actress? Yes. And she`s in the middle of a world full of people who are quite a bit older than her. She`s having a problem with her boyfriend. No comment," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
The 24-year-old star has been dating Friend for the past four years after meeting on the sets of `Pride and Prejudice`.
Knightley admitted she doesn`t view fame in a positive way because the definition has changed so much.
"If I`d thought about what fame meant when I was younger, it probably would have been for your name to be respected for something you do well,” she said.
“I don`t know that that is any longer what fame means. I don`t see it in its modern-day connotations as a particularly positive thing," she added.
