Keira Knightley has revealed that she, and her entire family, have been affected by COVID-19.

In her interview with The Times‘ Stella Magazine, the 36-year-old actress shared that she, husband James Righton, and their two daughters, Edie and Delilah, have all tested positive for the coronavirus.

Keira added that while she and her daughters are still griping with the virus, James has had an easier time with it while in quarantine with them.

“[He is] being very smug about it – he is convinced it’s because he’s one of those cold-water swimmers and I’m not,” she joked.

Keira was promoting her new film, Silent Night, in the feature, which centers on a family who are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.

“We were filming scenes about the shops running out of food at the same time as the news was becoming full of stories that all of the toilet paper had gone,” she recalled to the magazine. “It was incredibly strange for everyone.”

Keira added, “I think it should come with a warning, because now everybody is coming to the film with a lived experience, hopefully not as horrific as this one, but it has suddenly become a lot more raw.”

Silent Night is in theaters and on AMC+ on December 3. See the trailer here!

Silent Night follows parents Nell (Knightley) and Simon (Goode) who have invited their closest friends to join their family for Christmas dinner at their idyllic home in the English countryside. As the group comes together, it feels like old times – but behind all of the laughter and merriment, something is not quite right. The world outside is facing impending doom, and no amount of gifts, games or Prosecco can make mankind’s imminent destruction go away. Surviving the holidays just got a lot more complicated.

The film is in theaters and on AMC+ on December 3.

Claire Danes has taken over a role slated for Keira Knightley in an upcoming Apple+ TV series.

Deadline reports that the Homeland star will replace Keira in The Essex Serpent adaptation series.

The Essex Serpent follows newly widowed Cora (Danes) who, having being released from an abusive marriage, relocates from Victorian London to the small village of Aldwinter in Essex, intrigued by a local superstition that a mythical creature known as the Essex Serpent has returned to the area.

The book, written by Sarah Perry, was named Book of the Year by the British Book Awards in 2016.

It’s reported that Keira pulled out of the project over concerns about childcare for her two young children.

Just last year, Claire ended an eight season run on Homeland as Carrie Mathison, and reflected on playing the badass character in a recent interview.

Keira Knightley is addressing her stance on sex scenes.

In a new interview, the 35-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actress revealed in a new interview that she is no longer willing to do nude or sex scenes with a male director.

“It’s partly vanity and also it’s the male gaze,” Keira shared on Chanel Connects podcast. “I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze.”

“I don’t want it to be those horrible sex scenes where you’re all greased up and everybody is grunting. I’m not interested in doing that,” Keira continued.

“I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze,” Keira added. “Saying that, there’s times where I go, ‘Yeah, I completely see where this sex would be really good in this film and you basically just need somebody to look hot.’”

Keira also said that her new outlook on nude and sex scenes comes after being a mom two daughters Edie, 5, and Delilah, 1.

“I’m too vain and the body has had two children now and I’d just rather not stand in front of a group of men naked,” Keira said.

Keira clarified that she isn’t totally opposed to nude scenes, saying that she would feel more comfortable filming them with female directors.

If I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood and body [acceptance] I feel like, I’m sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker, Keira explained. “I don’t have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men.”
