John Carney has issued a public apology to Keira Knightley following his remarks about her acting

In recent days, Irish director John Carney has come in for a lot of criticism after making some unflattering remarks about Keira Knightley in an interview.

“I don’t want to rubbish Keira, but you know it’s hard being a film actor and it requires a certain level of honesty and self-analysis that I don’t think she’s ready for yet and I certainly don’t think she was ready for on that film.”

He was less than complimentary about the star, who was in his 2014 film Begin Again alongside Mark Ruffalo.
