Londoner Michael Caine says he’s leaving Beverly Hills and facing the taxman back home in England. The 53-year-old Caine sold his Beverly Hills house eight weeks ago and is just packing up “odds and sods” these days. Caine said he liked Los Angeles well enough, but added, “I also remember what Orson Welles once said: ‘I sat down in an armchair in Los Angeles when I was 23, and when I got up I was 61’,” he said. “I found myself drinking Perrier with every meal. I was eating things which I don’t know. I was also getting very homesick.” His new hometown: Wallingford, on the Thames near Oxford.
