It looks like movie star Keira Knightley feels like she owes Anne Hathaway an apology although it's for something she can't really control.

Anne Hathaway On 'Justice League' Rumors

On Saturday, Daily Telegraph posted an interview with the actress who mentioned an incident that took place in an airport when someone thought that she was the Les Miserables star.

"Actually 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," Knightley explained.

The Bend It Like Beckham actress admitted that there are other big names in the industry that look like her.

"Actually it's the first Anne Hathaway I have had," she said. "Generally I get a lot of Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman."

It just so happens that Hathaway and Knightley strike a pretty similar resemblance, which could have been the reason why Knightley was chosen to replace the Oscar winner in the film Laggies.

"She dropped out very late in the process and they were scrambling a bit to find somebody and I was...well, I didn't have anything," Knightley said.

The actress has been in movies since she was a teenager where she explained why she chose to take on more unique roles.

"It's the same for any actress," she said. "Everybody wants to play interesting complex characters. There are a lot of very brilliant actresses around. There are few interesting complex roles."
