Keira Knightley is planning to take a year out from acting to travel because she is sick of working so intensively.
The actress has recently been promoting the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie in between working on the third instalment of the franchise and another film based on an Ian McEwan novel.
Recently she told WENN: "Last weekend I worked 32 hours straight promoting Pirates of the Caribbean, and the weekend before too. I really need some time off. Even my parents think I need a break."
Now it seems the star is making serious plans to do so with her boyfriend Rupert Friend.
A source revealed: "She wants to go really low-key and do the whole backpacking thing. She has spoken to Rupert about it and he seems quite keen too."
