Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has credited her English boyfriend Jason Statham for keeping her grounded and sane in Hollywood.

The 27-year-old model has praised her The Expendables 3 actor boyfriend for keeping her feet on the ground, reported Contactmusic.

Both Huntington-Whiteley and Statham grew up in England and she believes it has helped them survive living in Hollywood.

"That's what makes being with an Englishman out there so great. I mean, we live in Hollywood for sake. It would be easy to lose touch with reality," she said.

The blonde beauty, who was raised in South West England, said living in LA does have its drawbacks as she often finds herself pining for her family.

"I battle with wanting to be closer to my family, wanting to call my brother on a Sunday and ask him to come round and watch The X Factor, or be there to support my sister, or go shopping with my mum. Not being able to do that can get me down."
