Keira Knightley has no plans to swap her career in movies for music.
The actress portrays a musician in her latest movie 'Begin Again' - a romantic comedy which also stars Mark Ruffalo, James Corden and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine - but is adamant the role hasn't inspired her to make a switch into songs because she has
negligible musical talent.
Asked whether she planned to make the transition into music, she replied: "I'm the least musical person in the entire world. I wouldn't know what to do!"
Keira admits she didn't really give much thought to the singing element of the role until she was handed the lyrics and she was suddenly required to break into song.
The 29-year-old star has had to use her vocal range before, but for a very different project so she felt completely unprepared.
In an interview with London Go - on every weekday at 6.30pm on London Live - Keira revealed: "It was a much more 1940s theatrical thing, so it was completely different from this (part). This is a very different style - I'd definitely not done anything like that."
Despite being married to Klaxons musician James Righton - who unsuccessfully tried to teach her to play guitar - Keira doesn't go to many concerts or has much interest in music.
She confessed: "I know nothing about music."

Frank Grillo insists 'The Purge: Anarchy' is not a sequel.
The 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' actor stars as Sergeant in the upcoming second instalment of the horror franchise but he's claimed it will serve more as a bigger and better version of the first film, 'The Purge', rather than a sequel.
He explained: "I hadn't seen the first Purge when they called to have a meeting and I read the script and thought it was genius.
"I said, 'Wow. This is a great idea and it can go in so many different directions'. And then I saw the first one and I could understand why people were pissed [off], because they [the characters] were just bound to this house...
"This is not really a sequel. It's a standalone film that basically takes the premise on a grand scope that should have been done in the first one."
Meanwhile, the 51-year-old star has also spoken out about people referring to the idea of the films - where all crimes are made legal for just 12 hours once a year - as ridiculous.
He told Collider: "So many things are ridiculous. I mean there are posters for 'Transformers' with dinosaur robots. It's all ridiculous isn't it? But at the end of the day it's also entertaining."
'The Purge: Anarchy' is set for release on July 25, 2014.

Guillermo del Toro claims making 'Hellboy 3' would be "almost impossible".
The 49-year-old director has confessed that while he'd love to make a third instalment of the sci-fi action film series, it's not financially feasible.
He explained: "Creatively, I would love to make it. Creatively.
"But it is proven almost impossible to finance. Not from my side, but from the studio side. If I was a multimillionaire, I would finance it myself, but I spend all my money on rubber monsters."
The first two films tell the story of a demon (Hellboy) who is raised from infancy after being conjured and rescued from the Nazis and later becomes a defender against the forces of darkness.
And despite admitting he hasn't received studio backing for the project, del Toro claims he's already thought up a plot for the sequel, which would see Hellboy finally become the beast of the Apocalypse.
According to Variety, he said: "Well, you know, we don't have the movie on the horizon, but the idea for it was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse...
"He has to become the beast of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time he becomes a much darker being. It's a very interesting ending to the series, but I don't think it will happen."
del Toro is currently working on the sequel to 'Pacific Rim' and on his upcoming thriller 'Crimson Peak'.

Rose Leslie has joined the cast of 'The Last Witch Hunter'. The 27-year-old actress will star alongside 'Fast and Furious' actor Vin Diesel in the upcoming supernatural action project, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film - which will be dir...

'The Inbetweeners' cast become closer to their characters when they're all together.
The four main stars of the popular comedy - James Buckley, Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison - may be grown up with their own families and relationships, but Emily Berrington has had a chance to work with them on their upcoming movie and she revealed not everything is so different.
She said: "It's odd because individually all four Inbetweeners are totally different from their characters. They all have wives or long-term girlfriends and there were even baby Inbetweenies on location with us.
"But when they are together as a group filming they are amazingly similar - James Buckley, for example, thinks there is nothing funnier than breaking wind and Joe Thomas is famous for eating disgusting things.
"One day on set I would a dead cockroach on the floor and I said to Simon Bird, 'Yuk, look at that', and he went, 'I reckon we can get Joe to eat it.' "
Despite a typically boyish atmosphere on set, Emily explained the show's huge female fanbase will love the highly-anticipated second movie.
She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine: "Being a teenage girl is a traumatic, confusing, oily-skinned experience and it's great to see that from the perspective of a teenage boy you were probably a goddess whose whole life seemed sorted.
"I think that's what women like about 'The Inbetweeners!' "

Stan Lee thinks he should be offered a cameo in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice'.
The former president and chairman of Marvel Comics has joked that rivals DC Comics should ask him to make an appearance in their upcoming sequel in a bid to make it more successful.
He said: "DC could probably make a lot more money with 'Superman' and 'Batman' if they announced that I'd have a cameo in it!
"People wouldn't believe it - they'd have to go to the theatre and see it!"
The 91-year-old writer and actor also revealed that he's very proud of the way in which the Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded, and is looking forward to the upcoming release of 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
According to Digital Spy, he said: "All it can do is make it better for Marvel if we do these movies and the movies are successful.
"There are people reading Marvel comic books that would have never thought to read a comic book before."
He added: "It helps the comic book business. The movie business has been unbelievably incredible. The Marvel movies are the biggest money-making movies of all."
Lee - who confirmed he'd be making a cameo appearance in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' - also claimed that Marvel Comics films had boosted relatively unknown actors' careers.
He explained: "People that had not been big stars before, like the fellow who plays Thor [Chris Hemsworth], he's wonderful ... and Chris [Evans] who plays Captain America ... He's excellent."

James Corden bonded with Keira Knightley over their British roots.
The pair grew close while filming their new movie 'Begin Again' in New York and the 35-year-old comic actor puts their new found friendship down to growing up in the UK.
He told heat magazine: "We got on really well. I'm so pleased to see that came across in the film. I think maybe because the two of us were Brits in New York, it brought us together a bit more.
"She's so relaxed. She takes the work seriously, but she doesn't take herself seriously, which is the best kind of person.
"I think this is one of her best performances. She's so warm in it"
'Begin Again' also stars rapper and record producer CeeLo Green, who Corden insists is "the most fun in the world" despite spending a lot of time on the phone.
He explained: "[He's] the most fun in the world. He has a guy who goes everywhere with him, who stands at his shoulder. He has two phones and is just constantly texting on them. Every now and then he shows CeeLo a message - that's all he does.
"I've no idea what he was doing or who he was, but he was texting two people at the same time. I've never seen anything like it."

Robert Rodriguez became a hands-on filmmaker so he could keep his "favourite hobbies".
The 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill' director - who also took on the roles of producer, composer, editor and cinematographer on the project - likes to get very involved in making a movie because it allows him to embrace his creativity.
He said: "My favourite hobbies growing up were photography, drawing, music, making movies. I chose filmmaking because I could still keep all my favourite hobbies under the project of a film.
"So on all my early films, I did everything. And then as I got into the Hollywood system, I thought, 'I don't know why I should give up these things. They're still some of my favourite jobs.' "
Rodriguez has always tried to make movies on a tight budget - his debut film 'El Mariachi' cost only $7,000 before Columbia Pictures spent $1 million to market it, earning double that when it was released.
He explained to Red Bulletin magazine: "I was the one who made movies very inexpensively, so they would always turn a profit. I made 'El Mariachi' out of my apartment.
"I thought, 'I don't have to be in Hollywood, they don't care. As long as it shows up on their desk and they can distribute it and make some money off it, they don't care where you make it or how you make it'.
"I think formality went out of the window really quickly when I sold that movie."

Keira Knightley is "stupidly sensitive".
The 29-year-old actress still feels hurt when she receives criticism, but has learned to pick herself up and move on from upsetting incidents.
She said: "I'm stupidly sensitive. It;'s ridiculous to have got 10 years on in my career and find that some things still hurt as much. I don't know if it's ego.
"I do tend to get back up quite quickly after I've been hit down and then I try to forge ahead as much as possible."
However, the 'Begin Again' star is no longer affected by bad reviews as she knows she has always done her best.
She added in an interview with Britain's OK! magazine: "Film is such a strange magical thing that sometimes things don't come together.
"You have to go, 'It's out of my hands.' If it doesn't work, I'm proud because that day I felt like s**t, I still managed to play this incredibly important scene and I don't feel I completely f***ed it up.
"You give months of your time to make a movie and you don't have a life outside it. So if you only think it's worth it if it's critically well received, then you'll end up spending an awful amount of time incredibly disappointed."
