Also in 2003, Knightley appeared in Richard Curtis' Christmas-themed romantic comedy "Love Actually", featuring an ensemble cast, which included her childhood idol Emma Thompson. Knightley's only release of 2004 was the historical film "King Arthur", where she played Guinevere, a warrior queen and the wife of the titular character. The role required her to learn boxing, archery, and horse riding. Although the film received unfavourable reviews, Knightley's stature as a performer grew; she was voted by the readers of "Hello" magazine as the industry's most promising teen star, and featured in "Time" magazine's article, which stated that she seemed dedicated to develop herself as a serious actor rather than a film star.
