Keira Knightley talks being mistaken for Anne Hathaway

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Keira Knightley still gets mistaken for other A-list celebrities.

The 29-year-old actress admitted as much in an interview with Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. Knightley was even accused of being rude by a fan after she was mistaken for and refused to take a photograph as Anne Hathaway.

"I think I have to apologize to Anne Hathaway because the woman [at the airport] thought I was being really rude as Anne Hathaway not giving her a picture as Anne Hathaway, but I was really only saying that I promised I wasn't Anne Hathaway, which I am not," she recalled.

"Actually it's the first Anne Hathaway I have had," she mused. "Generally, I get [mistaken] a lot [for] Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman."

One of Knightley's earliest film roles was Sabé in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999), a handmaiden and look-alike decoy for Padmé Amidala (Portman). The actress also told Graham Norton earlier this year she often is mistaken for singer Britney Spears.

Knightley last appeared alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in The Imitation Game. She will next star with Josh Brolin, Jake Gyllenhaal and Robin Wright in Everest in 2015.
