Orlando Bloom's Eco-Friendly House "A Hassle"  5/19/07

British actor Orlando Bloom's has admitted building an eco-friendly house has been "a hassle".

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star revealed earlier this year (07) he was building the 'green' house in London, but admits being as environmentally-minded as possible has meant he has spent more money that first intended.

He says, "It has been a hassle, no denying it. It has come in at double the budget but I'll admit it was me who was making all the changes!

"It's powered by all the latest technology and I've tried to think about recycling - using as much old material as I can. It isn't furnished yet and I'm still living out of a suitcase but it's coming together."
