During an interview with the UK Independent, Carney had some choice words about Knightley, who starred in his 2013 film Begin Again.
He went on to claim that Knightley’s “entourage” made it difficult to get work done on set.
There was an almost immediate backlash to the comments – director Mark Romanek, who worked with Knightley on Never Let Me Go, called Carney an “arrogant sh*thead”.
Whoops!

Carney posted an apology to Knightley on Twitter last night, signing off as a “director who feels like a complete idiot”.
“It’s not something that I could ever justify, and will never repeat.”
