Keira Knightley, who has battled dyslexia since she was six, has revealed that her daughter has also been diagnosed with the condition.
The 39-year-old actress discussed her methods for memorising lines and shared how her daughter's approach mirrors her own.
She shared: "I still find sight-reading really hard. It really bounces [the text], but I record it and listen to it over and over. That's how I learn it.
“Now, we have a dyslexic kid, and she's doing the same thing. Her memory is absolutely amazing.”
Knightley and her husband, former Klaxons singer James Righton, 40, have two daughters—Edie, eight, and Delilah, four.
While Knightley didn't specify which child has the language-based learning disability, the couple marveled at their daughter's ability to memorise books.
Speaking on the Ruthie's Table 4 podcast, they said: "She'll look at books and would have memorised the book, and it's amazing."
In addition to discussing dyslexia, Keira shared her evolving views on fairytales.
In a 2020 interview with PORTER, the Atonement actress revealed she had originally banned her eldest daughter, Edie, from watching certain fairytales due to their lack of feminist messaging.
"I'm being very careful about fairytales with my kid because I don't like the message that a lot of them have," she said at the time. "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.”
However, the British star has since softened her stance and admitted that her eldest has now watched all the fairytales, and she was particularly proud of her daughter's critical take on them.
Knightley shared: “She's watched all of them now. When we watched Sleeping Beauty, she said, ‘It's not OK, that man kissed her without her permission!’ I can't tell you how pleased I was. If I don't do anything else, I've managed to drum that in!”
