Keira Knightley has revealed that she had "a lot of fun" learning an American accent for 'Jack Ryan

The 28-year-old actress, who was born and raised in London, plays male lead Jack Ryan's fiance Cathy Muller in the forthcoming film and found learning the voice for her character was easier since she was surrounded by other American stars, including A-Listers Chris Pine and Kevin Costner.

Speaking at the European premiere of 'Jack Ryan' in London's Leicester Square, she told BANG Showbiz that she got a dialogue coach, and was lucky being surrounded by a lot of American actors, which helps.

Producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, complemented her ''impeccable accent'' insisting Americans will want to be able to talk like Knightley after watching the film.
