Keira Knightley reveals her daughter has been diagnosed with dyslexia after sharing her own struggles with the condition

As a lifestyle expert with a background in both acting and parenting, I find Keira Knightley’s journey incredibly inspiring. Her ability to navigate her own struggles with dyslexia while raising a child with similar challenges is nothing short of remarkable. It’s heartwarming to see how she’s found ways to adapt and thrive, even in the face of adversity.


Keira Knightley, who’s had dyslexia since she was six years old, recently shared that her child too has received a similar diagnosis.

The actress, aged 39, shares that she finds it quite challenging to memorize her lines through sight-reading.

From my own experience as a language learner, I find that repetition is key for me to fully grasp new material. I listen to recordings of the text multiple times until it becomes familiar and easier to understand. This method has been effective in helping me learn new languages and improve my proficiency over time.

In our current situation, there’s a child with dyslexia who’s demonstrating similar behaviors, and it’s remarkable how well she can remember things.

Keira, along with her husband, the ex-lead singer of Klaxons, James Righton (who’s 40 years old), has two little girls: Edie, who is eight, and Delilah, four. She recently shared some information about a condition they both have that makes learning to read, write, and spell challenging for them.

On Ruthie’s Table 4 podcast, the couple shared that one of their children has a certain condition, though they didn’t specify which child. They mentioned something fascinating about their daughter – she often looks through books and seems to have committed entire books to memory. It’s truly astonishing!

Previously, it was disclosed that Keira reconsidered her promise to forbid her eldest child, Edie, from enjoying fairy tales because they seemed to lack empowering messages for women.

During an interview with PORTER in 2020, the actress from Pirates of the Caribbean shared that she has somewhat revisited her past, as her daughter has now watched all those movies.

As a captivated parent, I’ve chosen to tread cautiously when it comes to sharing fairy tales with my little one. The narratives in many of these stories just don’t sit right with me.

‘So The Little Mermaid has been banned. Cinderella has been banned. I haven’t looked at Snow White again, but that may be banned, as well.’ 

In a subsequent conversation, it appeared that Keira had switched her perspective, yet she acknowledged being pleased when her child expressed opinions regarding the content they were watching.

She stated that after watching every single one, she commented on Sleeping Beauty: “That’s not right, he kissed her without getting her consent first!”

‘I can’t tell you how pleased I was. If I don’t do anything else, I’ve managed to drum that in!’

Recently, Keira has been shooting scenes for the upcoming Netflix thriller titled Black Doves, featuring Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire as her co-stars.

In the bustling cityscape of London, the forthcoming Netflix thriller “Black Doves” introduces the character of Helen Webb, portrayed by Keira Knightley. Helen is a shrewd, practical, and devoted spouse and parent, yet she harbors a secret: she’s a skilled undercover agent.

For ten years, Helen, secretly working for an undercover group known as the Black Doves, has been discreetly revealing her political husband’s confidential information. This disclosure lays the foundation for an exhilarating storyline.

Upon the assassination of her secret paramour, Jason (Andrew Koji), a mysterious figure known as Reed (Sarah) summons one of Helen’s long-time friends to protect her.

Samuel Young, often known as Ben, exhibits an elegant and sophisticated demeanor, preferring champagne over other beverages, and his profession is that of an assassin. After being absent from the field for some time due to a job gone wrong with catastrophic outcomes, he finds himself returning to a London that has progressed beyond his absence.

In a situation where his own history could potentially be exposed, his mission becomes ensuring Helen’s safety as she delves into the mystery surrounding Jason’s murder and uncovers the reasons behind it.

Working in tandem, they embarked on an endeavor aimed at revealing a colossal, intricately woven conspiracy.

A connection emerges between the shady depths of London and a potentially catastrophic international conflict, causing them to ponder the consequences of the ethical decisions they’ve taken in the past.

The Netflix series is written by Joe Barton and Keira is listed as an executive producer.

In the midst of a strike among American writers and actors in January, sparked by studios using AI instead of humans for acting roles, Keira announced her intention to secure a copyright for her facial features.

She mentioned that currently, actresses are focusing on preserving their voices due to the importance of the voice-over profession.

As a seasoned negotiator with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve encountered situations where I didn’t know the exact location, but I knew the heart of the matter was the negotiation at hand. Now, you might be puzzled by my next statement, but as an artist who has fought tooth and nail for my intellectual property rights, I can see myself taking the next step to copyright my face. My life experiences have taught me that in this cutthroat world, it’s crucial to protect oneself and one’s creations at all costs. So, while some may find this idea amusing or extreme, I believe it’s a necessary move for anyone who values their identity and creativity.

She also mentioned that AI holds a significant risk of causing harm, and she expressed her hope that governing bodies will step in and establish regulations for its use.

These studios, such as Amazon, Netflix, and Apple, are considering the use of AI technology to digitally replicate actors’ appearances. This would allow for their likeness to be projected onto a stunt double instead of using real humans.

In an unprecedented move, Hollywood actors and scriptwriters have joined forces for a joint action – the first of its kind in over six decades – pledging to safeguard the jobs of all workers within the film industry against potential automation by artificial intelligence.
