Hollywood stars are paid handsomely for, well, looking handsome on the big screen. But sometimes the generous paypacket doesn't make certain celebrities ditch their Scrooge-like ways.

According to an expose by UK rag Star magazine, Aussie actor Sam Worthington is one of the alleged stars with a habit of penny-pinching.

The magazine claims that the 36-year-old actor snatches tomato sauce and soy sauce packets from fast-food restaurants, and is reportedly a "cheapskate dater".

"It has caused issues in his relationships," Star suggests.

We'd take that not-so-solid piece of evidence with a grain of salt. Or a pinch of a ketchup packet.

Perhaps they saw the picture above from earlier this year in which the Avatar star and girlfriend Crystal Humphries were spotted in Hawaii buying toilet paper en masse at Walmart and Costco.

It just goes to show, no matter how many billion-dollar-earning blockbuster films you have to your name, everyone needs a dunny roll top-up.

Before scoring his Avatar role, Sam said that he sold most of his possessions and lived in a car with just $2000 to his name. No wonder he's frugal!

In January, Sam bought a home in Hawaii after admitting he'd been living in hotels and couch-surfing at friend's places up until then.

"The white picket fence in Australia has never really appealed to me. I'm not very responsible when it comes to mortgage, bills, paperwork," Sam told Cosmopolitan magazine back then.

"I'm a gypsy. I go where the work is," he added.

Star also named and shamed Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell, who recently acted in a 12-minute-long promotional movie for department store Target.

"The best coupon you can get, possibly in the world, is the Bed Bath and Beyond coupon," the actress admitted on Conan O'Brien's talk show.

"I may or may not have stolen them out of my neighbours' mailbox sometimes."

Watch your mailboxes, people.

Meanwhile, Brangelina were noted for being "hand-me-down" addicts, reusing clothes rather than buying new ones for their six kids.
