Keira Knightley has come out in support of mistresses, saying it’s the married man’s fault if he cheats.

The 24-year-old made her comments in the latest edition of US Elle magazine.

Knightley, who appears on the front cover of the magazine, plays one half of a married couple, both of whom are tempted to cheat in the upcoming movie Last Night.

“I haven’t ever been the other woman,” the British actress says. “But I felt sympathy for her in a funny way. “I think it’s quite a sexist view to say that because a guy all of a sudden cheats on a woman, it’s the other woman’s fault. It’s not the guy’s fault?”

When it’s suggested that women should look out for each other, Knightley says: “Oh, f*** off! C’mon. If you’re married, if you’re the guy, it’s your f***ing responsibility.

“It’s your fault if you cheat on her. It’s not some other woman’s fault!”

In the film, Sam Worthington plays Knightley’s husband who is tempted to sleep with Eva Mendes.

“When we were making it, the arguments on the set were just amazing about whether mental infidelity is better or worse than physical infidelity,” Knightley says.

“There was a huge gender divide on the question.

“Every single woman said that mental infidelity is 10 times worse than [an emotionless assignation].

“And most men I spoke with said it’s the physical act that would be the ultimate betrayal.”
