In all, there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and a separate garage studio has polished concrete floors.

As for his new digs, the actor now calls a 1920s Mediterranean designed by H.B. Benson home. Formerly owned by street artist Shepard Fairey, the multi-level house features original ironwork, hand-plastered walls and a great room with vaulted ceilings.
He paid $2.25 million — $415,000 more than the asking price — for the 2,523-square-foot house in March.
