(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Keira Knightley has revealed she tried to learn from playing Scrabble with her Never Let Me Go co-stars Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield.

The young British stars appear together in the drama, which tells a tale of friendship and jealousy and has been adapted from the revered novel by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Keira, 25, gets along exceptionally well with Carey, also 25, and Andrew, 27, and has revealed the threesome relaxed between takes by playing the word game Scrabble where players score points by forming words with random letters. As much as Keira enjoyed the sessions, she admits Andrew and Carey were more gifted players than her.

Played Scrabble! Andrew and Carey played and I was really sh*t so I sat and watched and tried to learn from them, she replied when asked by Stylist how the group let off steam. Scrabble has a nasty habit of making people feel stupid

Keira has spoken in the past about her struggle with dyslexia the learning disability which affects sufferers ability to read and spell. The talented actress admits being dyslexic does rather impede her chances of winning the game.

Well Im dyslexic so a dyslexic playing Scrabble is always quite funny! she laughed.

The beauty often indulges in other cultural pursuits when she isnt working, including visits to art galleries. Keira has a tight-knit group of pals, and loves nothing more than rounding them up for a fun evening out.

Drink wine and chat. Thats about it, she answered when quizzed on her favourite ways to spend time with friends.

Go to art galleries, sometimes go to the theatre. We just hang out. (C) Cover Media
