Keira Knightley’s Little Daughters Ruthlessly Roast Her After Watching Her Films | “You're Not Pretty Anymore”

Keira Knightley reveals that her daughters are very brutal when it comes to reviewing her movies and it's as hilarious as it can get. The 37-year-old Pride and Prejudice actor, Keira Knightley appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on March 15, 2023 to promote her upcoming movie, Boston Strangler. While speaking to Fallon, Knightley reflected upon her roles in movies like Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean. One of the roles she enjoys the most in real life is playing a mom to her daughters, Eddie, 7, and Delilah, 3 whom she shares with her husband James Righton. While watching their mom's films they weren't just harsh critiques but also savagely roasted her roles in them, the actress revealed.

Despite the boost some of these projects gave her career, the Love Actually star revealed that they did little to impress her two daughters. "I tried to show (Edie) The Pirates of the Caribbean and she watched 10 minutes. She was far too terrified," the actor shared before jumping into a hilarious impression of her 7-year-old. "She said, ' don't — I don't want to see you doing that.' But you know what she also said? 'No, I don't like you in that. You're too pretty.' But she said, 'Don't worry, you're not anymore.'"
Her performance as an evil Sugar Plum Fairy in the 2018 movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms received a thumbs down from Delilah (ouch!). "She was like 'A, you should be dressed in rainbows,'" she recalled before sharing her daughter's second question, which was, "Why are you so angry?" Knightley also shared that before joining Fallon in the studio, she struggled to explain to 3-year-old Delilah how she gets "in the television." "The whole camera thing, they couldn't (understand)," Knightley said. Knightley will make her return to the big screen in Boston Strangler. The historical crime drama, directed by Matt Ruskin, casts Knightley as Loretta McLaughlin, a reporter who broke the story linking the slayings of 15 women in the 1960s to a serial killer. The film will be released on Hulu on March 17.
This isn't the first time, that celebrity kids were not in awe of their parents' work. Ben Affleck's children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, admittedly "relentlessly mock" his performance in 1998's Armageddon, which he says is "the one movie of mine that my kids have watched," in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Even Coco, daughter of David Arquette and Courteney Cox, has only seen a part of Scream, the 1996 film in which her parents (now divorced) first fell in love. "She doesn't like to watch anything we do," said Cox in an interview with Extra. And Adam Sandler says his teenage daughters Sadie and Sunny lose interest in his films rather quickly. "And every time, I'd say about 20 minutes in, I see them tuning out, and I hear them — they're nervous to say it—but they're like, 'Can we watch something else?'" he told Ellen DeGeneres in 2019, per SheKnows. No one keeps us more humble than the kids, it seems.
