Keira Knightley admitted that people often mistook her for other renowned female celebrities. During the appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2018, the host asked him whether she ever got mistaken for other actors.
The Pride and Prejudice star gushed: “All the time.” And then again, when Corden asked who people mistake her for, she continued speaking about her celeb lookalikes. She said: “I’ve been chased through an airport as Natalie Portman. I mean Natalie Portman a lot!”
But Portman wasn’t the only actress she was confused for. People mistook her for Kate Winslet as well. As she added:
“I’ve been chased through a park as Kate Winslet. Quite a few have come over to me to ask me to say hello to Daniel Craig for them because they think I’m Rachel Weisz. She’s lovely.”
It’s understandable that because of her beautiful and known face, people would never fail to recognize her. But it was kind of surprising when people mistook her for a pop singer.
