London, May 25 : Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom is building an eco-friendly house in the British countryside.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star decided to construct his own green homeecause he can't meet the expenses of a property in London.
"I was trying to buy somewhere in London but couldn't afford it. It is not the actors making the money, it is the boys in the City," the Daily Express quoted Bloom, as saying.
Orlando remained silent about the location of his new home, which will utilize recycled materials and come complete with solar panels, but revealed that the project has been a lot more time consuming and expensive than he had expected.
"Building a house has been so stressful, it has taken double the time and double the budget - but I did make changes," he said.
"I wanted to make a green house, a place that felt safe and comfortable and out of the way," he added.
The 30-year-old, who is a committed environmentalist, recently travelled to the Antarctic for environmental organisation Global Green to study the effects of global warming.
"I slept in a room the size of a bus shelter and shared a toilet and bathroom with 27 other dudes. It was the most surreal real experience I have had in a long time," he said.
"There were no privileges - the privilege was being in that position at that time. I went scuba diving and climbed a mountain. The water was freezing but I had a swim just for the hell of it," he added.
