She is worth millions due to her incredibly successful acting career.
But it seems Keira Knightley is in fact a fan of the simple life – particularly when it comes to her forthcoming wedding to Klaxons keyboardist James Righton.
The 28-year-old has opened up about what it she wants when it comes to her big day – a very modest affair- as she features on the cover of May’s Marie Claire.
The simple life: Keira Knightley tells Marie Claire that she will be having a low-key affair when she marries James Righton
Speaking about her nuptials she told the magazine: ‘I could have six fake weddings. God, that would be expensive. We’re not big-wedding types. I don’t need to have all that.’
‘I’m just trying to enjoy the engagement bit. My parents are together after 40 years. The fights are there, but they love each other. It’s not like the first three months, the first two years, whatever it is, but I think it gets more interesting, or I hope so.’
And while she has reportedly recently moved in to a several-million-pound house in East London with 29-year-old James she revealed that it isn’t her dream house.
Putting it behind her: The actress seems to have turned her back on the typical celebrity life style
The Atonement actress reveals she won’t be settling into a big country pile any time soon either, admitting she’s more likely to drop everything and set off.
She said: ‘My boyfriend is a musician, so there’s no standing still, but the thing about a walkabout is you can’t tell anyone about it or they’ll come looking. So, it will be like that [snaps her fingers], and I’ll be gone.’
Later in the interview Keira again emphasises the fact she is not materialistic, stating: ‘I don’t have anything valuable.’

Although Keira’s partner is rather a famous musician, she reveals that when they met through a mutual friend she was unaware who he was.

Now however she finds his musical knowledge rather refreshing as she admits she is not someone who listens to music.
Compared to dating a fellow actor, she notably dated her Pride & Prejudice co-star Rupert Friend in the past, she enjoys being with some who is less like her.
In the shoot the British star shows off her model credentials in a range of stunning images.
She appears with her brunette hair in a simple bob with smouldering eye-make up.
In one shot she gazes into the camera with her famous pout on show, while giving a glimpse of her enviably flat stomach.
Another two images show off her slender back as she looks over her shoulder with her lips parted.
Next up for the actress, her film Can A Song Save Your Life? with Mark Ruffalo will be released.
She will also make a return to a big-budget fare in the Kenneth Branagh-directed Jack Ryan, based on the CIA analyst character in Tom Clancy’s novels.
