Anne Hathaway was rumored to have been spotted at the airport by a fan. It turns out that it was actually Keira Knightley who was on her way to the Toronto Film Festival where she was supposed to promote "The Imitation Game" and "Laggies."
"Actually, I think I have to apologize to Anne Hathaway because the woman 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 said.
According to MSN, this was not the first time that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actress has been mistaken for another celebrity. It appears that she has actually been mistaken to be someone else countless times already. However, she did add that it was the first time she was ever mistaken for Anne Hathaway. She said, "Generally, I get a lot of Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman."
In an ironic turn of events, Knightley only got to star in "Laggies" since the "Les Miserables" actress turned it down. She opted to drop out of the independent movie late into the process and the producers were relatively frantic in their search for a worthy replacement.
Knightley admitted in a recent interview that she was not doing anything at the time and so she decided to take on the role. "Stylistically, it's completely different from what I had been doing previously. So, it was very much 'jump in and hope for the best.'"
Her latest project was "The Imitation Game," which will be premiering on the big screen next year. It is a historical thriller that follows the life of the famous British mathematician, Alan Turing, to be played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Keira Knightley will be playing the role of Joan Clarke, an English cryptanalyst and numismatist.
