Removing names from noun chunks in spacy

Question

Is there a way to remove name of person in noun chunks ?

Here is the code

import en_vectors_web_lg
nlp = en_vectors_web_lg.load()
text = "John Smith is lookin for Apple ipod"
doc = nlp(text)
for chunk in doc.noun_chunks:
     print(chunk.text)

Current output

John Smith
Apple ipod

I would like to have an output like below where name of the people is ignored. How to achieve this ?

Apple ipod

Reference spaCy ents

import spacy
# loading the model
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')
doc = nlp(u'"John Smith is lookin for Apple ipod"')
# creating the filter list for tokens that are identified as person
fil = [i for i in doc.ents if i.label_.lower() in ["person"]]
# looping through noun chunks
for chunk in doc.noun_chunks:
    # filtering the name of the person
    if chunk not in fil:
        print(chunk.text)

Output:

Apple ipod

Hope this helps.
