Keira Knightley Says She 'Trained' James Righton's Eating Habits, Reveals They No Longer Own Their French Vineyard

The actor shared the personal stories during a new appearance on Waitrose's Dish podcast.

Overview

  • Knightley recalled issuing an early-dating ultimatum over what she called her husband's 'bizarre' habits, describing his diet then as childlike.
  • She said he lived on cheese on toast, avoided restaurants, and initially tried new dishes with his eyes shut as she and a friend encouraged him.
  • Knightley added that the effort paid off and that Righton now loves cooking, noting he handled the family's Christmas meal.
  • She discussed the couple's former vineyard, Les Cinq Puits near Mont Ventoux, where they made small organic Grenache cuvées by hand with local winemakers Luc and Sandrine Guenard.
  • She confirmed they no longer own the property, citing the practical difficulties of running an organic operation.
