Keira Knightly has issued an apology to her fellow actress Anne Hathaway after she was rude to a fan who mistook her for the Devil Wears Prada star.

Knightly spoke with Australian newspaper Daily Telegraph on the debacle and said she was simply trying to correct the woman in the airport who requested the picture with Knightley, thinking she was Hathaway.

"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."

The Atonement star went on to confess that this is not the first time her identity has gotten mixed up with another celebrity.

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

Knightley, who just announced she and her husband James Righton are expecting their first child together, reassured fans that she will not be going away anytime soon.

"I don't want to deny my femininity. But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at."

Knightley and Righton tied the knot back in 2013. Their first child is expected to arrive in the earlier portion of 2015.
