Keira Knightley Shares Daughter’s Dyslexia Diagnosis in Rare Update
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Keira Knightley is a devoted mom.
The Pride and Prejudice star, who shares kids Edie, 9, and Delilah, 4, with husband of 11 years James Righton, recently detailed a trait she has in common with one of her daughters.
“We have a dyslexic kid,” Keira shared on the Aug. 5 episode of the Ruthie’s Table 4 podcast. “Her memory is absolutely amazing.”
And her husband, also featured on the episode, added, “She’ll memorize the book, basically—it’s amazing.”
Keira—who herself was diagnosed with dyslexia at age six—also noted how her own experience with the disability actually led her to be an actor.
“The school said, ‘Look she can’t read at all and we need a carrot to dangle in front of her, do you know if there’s something that she wants?’” Keira recalled her teachers telling her parents. “And they said, ‘Well, she wants an agent.’”
