Whitaker In Tax Trouble

The Last King Of Scotland star Forest Whitaker has been hit with a massive bill after allegedly failing to pay $185,000 (£116,000) in taxes.

The Oscar-winner is in trouble with California tax authorities, who filed a $185,253 (£115,783) lien against him and his wife Keisha at the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds in January (11).

It's not the first time the actor has fallen behind with his finances - in 2009, the Detroit News reported Whitaker owed $1.27 million (£793,700) in state and federal taxes.
