July 29--Johnny Galecki of "The Big Bang Theory" is the buyer who popped $9.2 million for the Hollywood Hills estate of action film star Jason Statham and Victoria's Secret model Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley.
The recently restored 1929 Mediterranean continues its Hollywood tradition, having been once owned by actor Ben Stiller and earlier by actor Lou Diamond Phillips.
Interiors of 5,334 square feet, according to tax records, include living and family rooms, a den, a library/study, an office, a gym, a breakfast area, six bedrooms and six bathrooms on two stories.
A lushly landscaped swimming pool and a dining patio with a tile fountain complete the half-acre of grounds.
Galecki, 40, has starred on the CBS sitcom since it first aired in 2007 and, since last year, earns $1 million per episode. The popular ensemble comedy has been renewed through the 2016-17 season. He was a regular on "Roseanne" from 1992 to 1997.
The property previously sold in 2011 for $7.325 million. Hat tip goes to Variety for putting us on the trail of the buyer.
Ben Bacal of Rodeo Realty was the listing agent. Brett Lawyer of Hilton Hyland, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, repped Galecki.
