Knightley to flee UK from stalkers?

'Pride and Prejudice'

Keira Knightley is considering leaving the country over fear of five men who are stalking her, it has been reported.

The actress told the Daily Star the upset the men were causing. “I’m being stalked by five men," she revealed. “I have no way of knowing if they could be potential rapists.

“It scares the living hell out of me. I’m frightened out of my wits every time I see one of them.”

And an unnamed friend said Knightley was now looking for a home in the USA in a last-ditch attempt to escape the ordeal.

“Keira has put up with it for months," she revealed. “But it’s come to a point where she can’t leave the house. She genuinely fears for her life. She’s looking for a home in Los Angeles so she can finally have peace of mind."

Another friend said a move may also help she and her actor boyfriend Rupert Friend get more work.
