MONTVERDE, Fla. (AP) — Court records show comedian
Chris Tucker is facing foreclosure on his multimillion-dollar mansion in
central Florida.
Records show SunTrust Bank filed papers against the
California resident with Lake County courts earlier this week.
According to documents, Tucker bought the
10,000-square-foot lakefront home for $6 million in 2007 — before the housing
market crashed. The bank claims he still owes more than $4.4 million, but the
county property appraiser has the home currently assessed at $1.6 million.
Calls placed by The Associated Press to Tucker's
Hollywood representatives seeking comment were not returned as of late Thursday
night.
Tucker is best known for staring alongside Jackie
Chan in three "Rush Hour" films. Other credits include
"Friday," ''Money Talks" and "The Fifth Element."
