Keira Knightley relates to ‘Black Doves’ character living ‘double life’

Keira Knightley just reveals she is a completely “different” person with her children.

In a conversation with HELLO! Magazine, the 39-year-old actress who has two children, nine-year-old Edie and five-year-old Delilah, stated she behaves quite differently while working and while tackling her family life.

Knightley, who starred as a politician’s wife, Helen Webb, who is also a secret spy and killer in the Netflix thriller, Black Doves, speaking of how she could relate to the character’s double life, she mentioned, “She (Helen) incorporates so many personalities within herself and I felt as though they were all true and I felt that in a small way, I understand that – because you’re always looking for a character to understand in your own life.”

“I think what I understood is; I’m a mother. My identity as a mother and who I am to my kids is obviously very different from who I am in different spaces. You know, we’re one way to our children. We get into work and we’re a completely different way,” the Pride and Prejudice star added.

She continued, “Maybe we have a hedonistic side to us, which you would never show to your kids.”

As Keira Knightley can relate to her Black Doves character, she further told the outlet, “And Helen is that – it’s just in a really, really extreme way. Her other self just happens to be murderous and selling her husband’s secrets.”
