Metro, December 18, 2009

Keira Knightley was supported by a host of celebrity friends as she made her West End debut in The Misanthrope last night. Boyfriend actor Rupert Friend, 28, showed up along with Charles Dance, Jonathan Pryce, Neil Pearson, Emilia Fox and Rosamund Pike. The 24-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean star plays the part of Jennifer, an ambitious American actress, alongside love interest Alceste, alias Damian Lewis, 38. Thanks to Keira's star power, the Moliere classic has already taken more than £1 million in advance booings at The Comedy Theatre.
