Keira Knightley has confessed she struggles to balance a relationship with her career.

The beautiful actress, who recently split from model boyfriend Jamie Dornan, admits she finds it hard to find a happy medium between work and romance.

She revealed: "It's hard to have a relationship when I'm working so much. But then you have to think, 'What's important in life?'

"Is career your only thing? If it is, then it's easy, but if it isn't, that's sad, because there's going to come a day when you're left lonely. It's a difficult balance."

Meanwhile, Keira claims she hates her sexy long legs.

The stunning actress told America's Marie Claire magazine: "I like so many other people's bodies. I like legs - I don't like my legs. I hate my legs."

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star says she likes her toned stomach - but moans she can never show it off in photo shoots.

She explained: "I like my stomach but now you're not allowed to show it because it's considered vulgar and fashion magazines say you can't anymore. It's annoying."
