Vinnie Jones quits the UK

He wants to focus on acting career

Footballer turned film star Vinnie Jones is quitting the UK.

Vinnie, 42, wants to focus on his movie career in America.

While he’s lived in LA for years, the actor wants to make a permanent move by selling his home in Hertfordshire.

‘I'm selling up in England,’ he says. ‘Both our houses are going. I need to simplify things and concentrate on my acting career. And this is the place to be.’

And Vinnie’s about to sign the contract for a new LA pad.

‘My wife Tanya and I have been based in a rented apartment in Beverly Hills for the past year but I've just put in an offer for a house off Sunset Plaza,’ he tells the Daily Record.

‘I've got all my papers sorted for the green card and we're going to live there for two or three years and see how it goes.’
