The 33-year-old actress has three-year-old daughter Edie with her husband James Righton, and has revealed movies including 'Cinderella' and 'The Little Mermaid' have been banned in their household because of the way they suggest women are nothing without their Prince Charming's.
Speaking during an appearance on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' on Tuesday (16.10.18), Keira said: "'Cinderella', banned because she waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't. Rescue yourself, obviously. And this is the one that I'm quite annoyed about because I really like the film, but ... 'Little Mermaid'. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give your voice up for a man. Hello!"
The news comes just days after the 'Colette' actress revealed her daughter let out a curse word for the second time recently, following the previous admission that she'd sworn when controversial candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 US presidential election.
Speaking about her daughter's latest slip of the tongue, Keira said: "It was one of those country roads where it's a blind corner, and suddenly there's another car coming. The brakes got put on and there wasn't a crash, but there was a silence just afterwards and this little voice went, 'Daddy, is that when you say f**k?'
"It was very polite. Other than that, she has never said any - there's not been any swear words. So it's just twice, and both times perfectly."
But aside from her occasional sailor's mouth, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actress says her daughter is "phenomenal".
She gushed: "She's great in every way. She's obviously a genius, and obviously the best child in the entire world. And very well made. But yeah, I'm very lucky. She's great. She's totally great."
