Jason Statham's Helicopter Landings Spark Outrage in South London

Residents of a posh South London neighborhood have voiced strong complaints after action star Jason Statham and his fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley repeatedly used a helicopter to land in a local playing field near their home. The helicopter's low flights over a nearby riding school have startled horses, leading to safety concerns among parents whose children ride there, with one mother stressing the dangers if a horse were to bolt. Despite the pilot apologizing after landings and attempting to avoid the riding school on subsequent trips, locals remain frustrated by the frequency and noise of the chopper, which has disrupted their peace, frightened livestock, and disturbed those working from home and elderly residents. Several neighbors have emphasized that they deliberately chose to live far from major airports for tranquility, only to have it disrupted by the star's arrivals. Statham and Huntington-Whiteley, who returned to the UK after a decade in Beverly Hills and invested £15 million in three London homes, have not yet publicly addressed the complaints. The couple's high-profile lifestyle in the neighborhood continues to clash with the expectations of their quieter, suburban community.
