If Keira Knightley doesn't want to have another child, it's because of this cartoon character that every parent knows

PARENTING – When you already have one, two children, or more, at what point do you know that it is enough and that you do not want to plunge back into diapers, bottles and broken nights?

Every parent who has “mourned” a new motherhood undoubtedly has the answer to this question. And among them is Keira Knightley. Invited on December 9 from Tonight Show by Jimmy Fallon to promote the Netflix miniseries Black Doves, the British actress spoke about her family life and revealed the reason why she no longer wanted to have children.

“I couldn't bear to watch again Peppa Pig »

Already the mother of Edie, 9, and Delilah, 5, whom she had with her husband, musician James Righton, the star ofPride and Prejudice explained to Jimmy Fallon that she really enjoys watching her daughters grow up and “become real people”.

And what she prefers above all is to see their tastes evolve in terms of TV programs, which she describes as “ very cool”. “They love Studio Ghibli anime”says the actress, who reveals that it was a real relief after having endured “seven years of Peppa Pig”. And to add: “Sometimes we think, 'They're so adorable, should we have another child?' And I think, “I could handle another pregnancy, I could even handle another birth, but I couldn’t handle watching Peppa Pig again.” So no, there won't be another child. »

Peppa Pig, a bad example for children

Keira Knightley is far from the only one who can no longer stand this cartoon, which depicts the family life of a little sow and her brother George. In an article from Times dating from last February, several parents explained that they had banned the program from their homes because they consider that Peppa represents a bad example for their children.

“Peppa orders people around, tells her parents what to do… Or makes comments about people's weight”criticized Kayla Tychsen, a mother of two children living in Texas. Which doesn't stop the cartoon from being a hit with little ones. According to the site dedicated to the brand ecosystem Cobrandz, Peppa Pig was the most viewed youth program in 2023, with 1.7 million videos viewed on average each month.
