Keira Knightley and her rocker husband’s surprise role in kids’ Christmas nativity revealed
Share:
MY school nativity plays were theatrical car crashes, with the wise men forgetting their lines and Mary dropping baby Jesus. But when your parents are Keira Knightley and Klaxons rocker James Righton, the production turns out to be far more special. Mums and dads who sent their kids to the same posh London school as the showbiz couple told me that James had pulled out all the stops for this year’s nativity after taking a starring role in last year’s carol concert.
They added: “James is absolutely brilliant and was really involved with the nativity this year. “Last year, he got up on stage and performed during the service, which was amazing. None of us could quite believe it, and Keira was in the audience cheering him on.
“This year, he has sprinkled some magic over the nativity, but let the kids take centre stage. It was magical and so special to see.”. Keira has been on the promotional trail for her new hit Netflix series Black Doves, which is phenomenal if you haven’t yet seen it.
But now she’s finished for Christmas and has opened up about her festive plans during a chat with Nick Grimshaw on BBC 6 Music. “I am hibernating and drinking nice wine and doing all the festive things,” Keira said. “We did some wreath-making the other day.
“I got two children to make wreaths and they’re not that bad. “I’m not cooking — my husband cooks and he is very good. “He is a little bit OCD, so as long as that stays in the kitchen, the marriage survives. It means Christmas dinner will be very good.”.
