Orlando Bloom has apparently shocked his celebrity neighbours in Los Angeles – by choosing to paint the outside of his house black.
The British-born Lord Of The Rings star, 30, lives on Outpost Drive, where most of the homes – including neighbours’ Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron – are reportedly painted white to reflect the sun.
One of Orlando’s neighbours was quoted by The Sun as saying: “Charlize and Scarlett were a bit taken aback.”
The neighbour apparently added: “Most go for white, but Orlando went completely the other way.”
But it seems no one is that disturbed and, as the neighbour continued in the paper, they have passed it off as one of Orlando’s quirky traits.
“It’s a bit weird, but that’s Orlando – he’s an original guy. Maybe he’s been listening to ‘Paint it Black’ by the Rolling Stones,” the neighbour apparently told the newspaper.
