Kevin Dillon is riding high: He’s got a hit HBO show, a role in the film “Hotel for Dogs,” a Malibu pad – and the Bulldogs he’s always wanted.
My wife and I are “from cold-weather places,” Dillon told People. “Just to see orange trees and all these bougainvillea plants ... I’ve always wanted dogs, and a yard, and now I’ve got them.”
Dillon says he “fell in love with Malibu” while filming scenes for his HBO show “Entourage” – ironic, since his character on the show hates the beach.
“When we were coming out here to shoot, I was like, ‘It’s so quiet and so calm,’” he says. “It doesn’t feel like the city at all.”
Dillon, who shares the three-bedroom Mediterranean-style home with wife Jane, 2-year-old daughter Ava, and Bulldogs Brady and Belle, begins shooting the sixth season of “Entourage” next month.
“These are tough times, and I’m really lucky to be working right now,” he says. “I’m a lucky guy.”
