Actor Jason Statham angers residents in posh neighbourhood by landing helicopter on field and scaring their horses

ACTION star Jason Statham is making the residents of a posh neighbourhood cranky — by landing in a chopper and scaring their horses.

The 57-year-old actor and his model fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 38, have been dropped off on a playing field near a riding school several times.

A 35-year-old mother of one who witnessed a landing in South London last Friday said: “The helicopter flew quite low over a riding ground and spooked two horses which were out at the time.

“After landing, the pilot ran across the field to say sorry.

“It looked like he was really apologetic and made an effort to make sure everyone was OK.

“But if a horse bolts with a six-year-old on it, it won’t be pretty. Jason might have to save the day — again.”

Jason — star of films such as Crank, Snatch, The Transporter and the Fast and Furious franchise — landed with Rosie in the area again the next day.

This time the pilot is said to have made a conscious effort to avoid the riding school.

But one homeowner said the helicopter has become a bit of a nuisance in recent months.

She said: “It’s been quite frequent. It flies low over our houses and it’s very loud.

“It’s not something we appreciate. I won’t be happy if it becomes a regular occurrence.

“There’s a reason we chose to live far out from Heathrow or City airports.”

The business owner, in her 40s, added: “It’s not great, especially with people working from home and elderly people living here.”

A dad of two, whose house backs on to the field, described the chopper as “very noisy”.

Jason and Rosie, who have two children, returned to the UK five years ago and invested £15million in three homes in London after living in Beverly Hills for a decade.

The couple have been approached for comment.
