Keira Knightley Hated Music Growing Up

British actress Keira Knightley shunned music growing up because she found boybands "offensive".

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, who is engaged to wed Klaxons rocker James Righton, admits she was no fan of the charts, and only began to appreciate music when she entered her twenties.

The 27 year old tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "It's a really weird one. I remember I actively didn't listen to music through my teenage years.

"I remember being 11 and my friends suddenly got into music, and me still wanting to play, like play make-believe, and suddenly I was supposed to be listening to boybands and I found it really offensive.

"I thought it was literally the fault of the boybands. So I didn't listen to music until my early or mid-twenties and I was like, 'Oh, I get it, this is great.'"
