Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa’s Mini-Hollywood – Cape Town Tourism
- 1. 12/8/2016 Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa’s MiniHollywood – Cape Town Tourism https://web.archive.org/web/20140917091255/http://www.capetown.travel/blog/entry/welcometocapetownsouthafricasminihollywood 1/4 Search site Cape Town, our gorgeous Mother City, is South Africa's mini Hollywood, with Tinseltown's greatest flocking to her sunny shores for film shoots. Image courtesy of Getaway Magazine Best we start searching for a prime location for Cape Town’s very own Hollywood Walk of Fame – especially since this August, our cinematic Mother City is filled to the brim with Tinseltown’s finest actors! Our starstudded guest list reads like an Oscar nominee roll call – Claire Danes, Javier Bardem, Charlize Theron, Sean Penn, Penelope Cruz, Colin Firth, Sascha Baron Cohen and Rebel Wilson have all been spotted out and about on our glittering streets, between filming their latest projects. While Danes completes filming on the latest season on her hit TV thriller, Homeland, and Penn, Cruz, Bardem and Theron wrap up their dramatic collaboration, The Last Face; comedians Cohen and Wilson are shooting scenes for their World Cup themed movie, Grimsby. The dashing Firth is in town for the feature film “Eye in the Sky”, alongside hit series Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen. In typical laidback Capetonian fashion, our locals barely bat an eyelash when casually running into these celluloid artists (except me – I’m a HUGE celeb stalker!) and this is exactly what makes the Mother City a desirable celebrity destination. Visiting stars can relax and enjoy our sunny shores, amazing bars and vibrant markets without being mobbed by overzealous fans. There really is no need to go all TMZ, though, when images of our visiting celebs are so readily available on social media: Rebel Wilson posted a photo to Twitter of herself on location at Table Mountain: YOUR #LOVECAPETOWN WEEKEND: WHAT’S ON FROM FRIDAY 5 TO SUNDAY 7 SEPTEMBER, 2014 YOUR #LOVECAPETOWN WEEKEND: WHAT’S ON FROM FRIDAY 12 TO SUNDAY 14 SEPTEMBER, 2014 WHAT’S NEW IN CAPE TOWN: THE TOP 5 PLACES YOU MUST EAT AT THIS SPRING ONE NIGHT IN THE WINELANDS: 5 REASONS WHY MY STAY AT THE WILD CLOVER FARM IN STELLENBOSCH ROCKED MOST POPULAR Categories All Authors All Sort By Date Search the blog...
