A tour of movie stars homes in Los Angeles in 2002 left me fairly unimpressed but since then I’ve found something of much more interest to me and that’s the places where some of films most famous characters live. Over the years I’ve covered hundreds or movie locations in many countries but I think many of my favourite photo’s have been captured at these homes.
So, here is a virtual tour taking you around the world from the UK to the USA to Tunisia to France to Germany. It might cost you a fair bit to visit all these homes and there’s not much chance of seeing the stars you believe to live there. We here at Tokyo Fox have made huge losses undertaking such ventures so that you don’t have to but if you actually do then please be aware that many of these homes are private property so behave with respect and discretion. Here then, in no real particular order, is the list…
