All the random Hollywood stars in Australia right now

Hollywood stars in Australia will never be new to us. I mean will we ever get over Zac Efronbe down? Probs not. But apart from theHigh school musicalum, a slew of other actors are in town right now. AsNatalie Portman, who was recently snapped on a full Woolies race.

But why are they here? Well, a lot of them are making new movies and TV shows. Others were simply trapped here because of COVID-19 and decided to make the most of it.

Zac Efron

Let’s start with the most obvious: Zac Efron.

Efron has been in Australia for a while now, first hiding in Byron Bay for a while before the paparazzi find him.

Word around the block is that Efron has come to Australia to overcome the pandemic, which is fair enough. He will be returning to the United States at some point to shoot a new Disney + movie. But in the meantime, he’s filming locally.

Efron is currently shooting a new film for Stan in Adelaide called Gold.

Slow-mo will always be funny to me.

CostarringAnthony hayes (War machine, animal kingdom), Gold follows two dinghies traveling through the Outback who stumble upon the biggest gold nugget ever found.

Together, they hatch a plan to protect and dig the find, with a man setting out to find the necessary equipment.

The other guy, meanwhile, stays and has to endure the harsh desert climate, wolves and intruders, while battling the creeping doubt that his mate has abandoned him.

Natalie Portman

Portman is currently in Sydney, and has been since at least mid-November.

She is currently preparing for her role in Marvel’sThor: Love and thunder,FeaturedChris Hemsworth.

Earlier this month, she was literally spotted shopping at Woolies in Double Bay. Daily mail have all the photos, of course.

This tweet really sums up my feelings about it all.

“I have to say I love it. I really love Perth. I love the city, I love the people, and I feel very, very lucky, obviously, to have quarantined there and to be in WA during this kind of crazy time in the world.

Walsh, who extended his visa until December, is having a great time in the city.

She told Nine that she was very keen on bringing a part of Hollywood to Perth.

“Why don’t we shoot movies and television here?” she says. “I was passionate and vocal enough to try to make this happen. So to have a proper studio, we have access to some of the big international productions that are currently coming to Australia as a whole. “

In June, Walsh appeared on Seven’sBreaking pointto do just that.

The cast of Nine Perfect Strangers

Long story short: A group of Hollywood stars are in Sydney / Byron Bay filming Nine perfect strangers,based on Liane Moriartynovel of the same. She is the same author behindBig little lies.

The series follows nine stressed city dwellers who arrive at the health and wellness resort, Tranquillum House, for a ten-day retreat.

The station manager is watching them. However, these nine complete strangers have no idea what’s going to hit them.

The cast isheavy,and includesNicole kidman,Melissa McCarthy, and Luke evans.

My husband Manny Jacinto is in it too, but no one has spotted it … yet.

Nicole kidman

Kidman shared a few snaps of Byron on his Instagram.

The residents, meanwhile, are quite annoyed with all the traffic production in the city.

It’s a small town, but the traffic is so bad due to roadworks AND Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthys’ new series closing an alternative route to town, ”an unnamed local told Instagram celebrity Goss Two Me.

The region’s productions have also taken over a LOT of rentals. People are crazy about celebrity takeovers, ”they said.

In August, Kidman shared a photo with Moriarty ahead of production.

Luke evans

Evans told Variety that when the actors arrived from the United States, they underwent two weeks of mandatory quarantine.

“I don’t see anyone for two weeks,” he said Variety at the time. “I have to be tested every two days. Everything is going to be delivered to my room and I have to stay in a room in Australia and not leave it for two weeks just so that we can be free to go shoot something.

He succeeded, however.

At first glance, Evans had a heavenly time in New South Wales.

Melissa McCarthy

McCarthy was pictured exploring Byron with her daughter, but otherwise kept a fairly low profile here.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher

Borat and ours Isla Fisher reportedly moved to Sydney from Los Angeles, enrolling their children in a local school.

According to Daily mail, Fisher was spotted looking for her children at their new school.

Imagine that Sacha Baron Cohen turns his magic on our pollies. Imagine it.

As an aside, Kim’s convenience star Simu liuwas in Sydney for almost a year because of the pandemic. He and the crew had filmed Marvel’sShang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings.

They just ended in October.

The film is slated for release next year.
