The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, Orlando Bloom building a house may not have been much of a news when compared to the fact that he is building an eco-friendly house in the British countryside. The actor has come up with the idea of having his own green home as he could not afford to buy a property in London.

The actor complained to Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "I was trying to buy somewhere in London but couldn't afford it. It is not the actors making money, it is the boys in the City."

The project has turned out to be more expensive and time consuming than what he had reckoned. He said: "I wanted to make a green house, a place that felt safe and comfortable and out of the way. "But building a house has been so stressful, it has taken double the budget - but I did make changes."

The 30 year old actor also an environmentalist, has recently been to the Antartic for an environmental organisation, Global Green to study the outcome of golbal warming. He said: "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 experience I have had in a long time."

Meanwhile Orlando is also going to make it news by appearing nude in his west end debut, 'In Celebration' this July a play by David Storey.

When asked if he would reveal all, he replied: "Hmmm, naked in London? There's nothing wrong with a little bit of nudity. I'm not sure I'll be getting all my bits and pieces out though."
