Russell Brand buys house in Hollywood Hills

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- British comedian Russell Brand paid $2.224 million to restore a 1926 home in Los Angeles designed by architect Roy Selden Price.

The traditional-style house, located in Hollywood Hills West, has 4,800 square feet of interior space that features five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, an office, and a home theater, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The Movieland Directory lists the home as an early 1930s home of acting great Laurence Olivier.
