From acting to bricklaying:

Keira Knightley has revealed that she is looking into a career in bricklaying.

The 19-year-old, who is paid around £1.5 million per movie, thinks that the career change would be a "positive experience" should her film work dry up.

"Everyone laughs when I say I'm looking into bricklaying. But I decided if an apocalypse ever comes I'd like to be a skilled laborer and not be left behind at a campfire making gruel," she said.

"My friend's looking for a job and we found out you can get £15 to £30 an hour for bricklaying. I've found the courses and the moment I have some spare time I want to do it. I'm sure i can find a positive experience in laying bricks."

1 Harrison Ford went from carpenter to actor so why not the other way? At least Knightley realizes at this point in her career she is more hot body than actress so having a backup plan might be a good idea. Better plan than appearing in The Surreal Life.

3 Must be only in Britain that they make 30 pounds an hour. Here, we just hire illegals to do it.

4 I laid a few bricks this morning after my first cup of coffee. That stuff really greases the wheels if you know what I mean.
