Yahoo Lifestyle Keira Knightley Doesn't Want Any More Kids Because Of This 1 Popular Cartoon Character
Keira Knightley is revealing the hilarious reason she doesn’t want to have more children.
The “Atonement” actor is mother to two girls, 9-year-old Edie and 5-year-old Delilah, both of whom she shares with her husband, musician James Righton.
On Monday, Knightley appeared on the “Tonight Show” to promote her new Netflix series, “Black Doves.” During the segment, host Jimmy Fallon asked the actor how her daughters were.
She replied, “They’re good,” and jokingly stated that “they’re real people,” referring to them getting older.
Fallon then asked Knightley what her kids have been watching, to which she said that they’re “very cool” and have developed an affinity for Japanese movies by Studio Ghibli. This newfound love came as a relief to Knightley, as her children have been obsessed with “Peppa Pig” for “seven years.”
“You know that thing where you’re like, ‘Oh, you know, they’re so nice. Should we have another one?’” Knightley said. “And you think, ‘Oh yeah, I could do the pregnancy. I could even do the birth, but I cannot watch any more ‘Peppa Pig.’ So there’s no more kids.”
Knightley recently opened up about the joys of motherhood and how she addresses certain challenges. In an interview in August on the “Ruthie’s Table 4” podcast, the actor shared that both she and one of her daughters have dyslexia.
“Sight-reading I find really hard, it really bounces,” she said, explaining that when it comes to scripts, “Basically, I record it and listen to it and listen to it and listen to it, and that’s how I learn it.”
“But now we have a dyslexic kid and she’s doing the same thing. Her memory is absolutely amazing,” she added.
