Ricky Gervais' 1 million house project has caused lots of disturbance in the neighborhood.
Ricky Gervais has infuriated his new neighbours - before he's even moved in. The 'Extras' star has splashed out £3.5 million on a townhouse in London's plush Hampstead area but has upset other residents by spending £1 million on noisy renovations, including an underground swimming pool, gym, games room and golf simulator.
One local resident said: "Everyone is seething about the noise. The whole area shakes. There won't be many inviting him round for coffee when he finally arrives." Builders are using two generators and a compressor to dig underground to make space for the features Gervais has requested.
The '
Night at the Museum' star is currently house hunting in New York and has demanded his personal 'property finder' help him spend his allotted £3 million on a home big enough to entertain his new Hollywood friends.
