Keira Knightley at 59th Annual Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale) - 'Cheri' premiere at Festival Palace, Berlin, Germany - 10.02.09

The Love Actually star is wary of spending excessively during the ongoing recession, opting instead to save money by borrowing expensive footwear.

Knightley, 23, explains, "I think when I was very young and I suddenly started earning a bit of money and I could actually afford to buy shoes, I got very excited and bought a lot. I mean a lot!

"I haven't bought any in quite a while. Now I just rent them for the day. They give them to me for the day and I give them back in the evening, which is good."
