Keira Knightley says she wanted to accurately portray the actions of Iraq War whistleblower Katharine Gun in “Official Secrets,” which arrives in U.S. theaters on Aug. 30, 2019, but her performance was complicated somewhat by her decision to have her daughter transition from her baby bed during filming.

“I felt very on edge, but for different reasons. So I used it all,” Knightley joked during a recent interview.“Any actresses out there, do not move the child from the cot to the bed when you’re just about to play a lead role in a film that has a lot of words in it because remembering them is quite tricky,” Knightley said.
The memo proved that the U.K. and U.S. governments were in collusion over spying on countries that were wavering in their support for the war. After the information hit the front pages of newspapers, Gun confessed and was subsequently arrested and charged under the Official Secrets Act. “I was sort of fascinated that either I’d forgotten, or I’d never known about Katharine Gun and I’d never known about this memo. So I felt like, you know, just as far as kind of a historical piece in sort of shedding light on that, the lead up to that conflict, I thought it was a very important story to tell.”
