Mark Owen loves the ‘challenge’ of living in America

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark Owen has loved the “challenge” of relocating to the US.
The Take That star, his wife Emma and their three kids – Elwood, 16, Willow, 13, and Fox, ten – moved to Los Angeles last year, and Mark doesn’t have any regrets about making the switch.
The singer – who sold his house in England before moving to the US – shared: “I love that challenge of trying to find your way in a new place. That kind of excites me.
“I’ve been surfing for five years now. I go to the beach maybe once every week – but the big waves in Los Angeles leave me ­battered.
“I can get up on to the board, just not very gracefully, and not for very long.”
Mark, 50, has also loved “going to a lot of gigs at the Hollywood Bowl”.
He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “I’ve seen everyone – Tame Impala, Haim, The Black Eyed Peas … That’s what made me really want to go up on stage again and to put that energy into a new record.”
Mark has enjoyed huge chart success with Take That during his career.
But the singer – who stars in the band alongside Gary Barlow and Howard Donald – is now hoping to land his first UK solo number one album with ‘Land Of Dreams’.
Speaking about his album, Mark explained: “I’m trying not to get too excited about it, but when I got the call to say I was at number two in the mid-weeks, I nearly fell off my chair.
“I was thinking about the first song I wrote the other day. It was with my dad.
“I can’t remember the name, but he played guitar and I wrote some lyrics over it. That was probably 35 years ago, so this has been a long time coming.”
