Keira Knightley is not a fan of “Peppa Pig.”
The “Black Doves” star, 39, appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday and blamed the British children’s show for her decision to not have more children.
Knightley explained that her daughters Edie, 9, and Delilah, 5, whom she has with husband James Righton, are “very cool right now” watching Japanese movies by Studio Ghibli — which is a welcome change for the actress.
“You’re like, ‘Oh this is just lovely after watching seven years of ‘Peppa Pig,’” she said.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star then went on a rant about the animated series, which follows a female piglet that has human characteristics.
“You know that thing where you’re like, ‘Oh, you know they’re so nice. Should we have another one?’ And you think, ‘Oh yeah, I could do the pregnancy. I could even do the birth, but I cannot watch anymore “Peppa Pig,”‘” Knightley said.
“It’s not gonna happen. There’s no more kids,” she declared.
Knightley also revealed that her oldest daughter sometimes gets embarrassed by the famous actress, including when she was helping plan Edie’s birthday party.
“It’s really annoying. You know when they’re teenagers, you think, ‘Yeah, they’re gonna find me embarrassing,’” she said. “But 9, right? So she’s having this disco party, and I was like, ‘Yay! I get to dance and can get all the girls dancing.’”
However, Edie wasn’t a fan of her mom showing off her dance moves at the party.
“’Mom, mom you are so embarrassing, just go and stand in the corner,’” Knightley recalled. “It was awful.”
The actress been married to her husband since 2013. Righton, 41, is a famous musician who played for the British rock band Klaxons for 10 years.
Last month, Knightley told the Times how having two kids impacted her acting career.
“I couldn’t go job to job [abroad] now. It wouldn’t be in any way fair on them, and I wouldn’t want to,” she explained. “I’ve chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I’ve had to take a major step back.”
The “Love Actually” star also shared that she’s much pickier about the roles she takes on since becoming a mom.
“I’ve been really surprised in the past few years about what I’ve said no to. I’ve wanted it to be more pure entertainment and maybe that’s because I’ve needed that,” she said. “I keep being offered things about children dying or about mothers dying. Can’t do it.”
