Netflix star spotted filming in Edinburgh Old Town leaving tourist puzzled

An Edinburgh tourist was left puzzled after spotting Netflix and TV star Phil Rosenthal on Victoria Street in the Old Town.

The creator of Everybody Loves Raymond was in the capital ahead of a talk at the Usher Hall on Saturday July 8 about his current Netflix hit.

But rumours have begun to swirl that he is in the capital to film an episode for his hit streaming series ‘Somebody Feed Phil.’

The travel and food show has been a massive hit with Netflix viewers and it could be good news for Scottish fans with the star spotted filming in the capital.

Molly Cochrane shared a humorous clip on TikTok of her playing detective as she tried to figure out who the mysterious celebrity was.

She described the picturesque Victoria Street as being filled with filming crew members wearing ear pieces as they tried to clear space for shots.

Phil was said to be on the set for around an hour and despite her best efforts, Molly was unable to decipher his identity until after she posted her clip on Friday afternoon.

The 63-year-old was spotted wearing beige trousers and a white t-shirt whilst camera operators captured him walking through the historic street.

‘Somebody Feed Phil’ will enter its seventh season and it looks as though Auld Reekie’s culinary delights may well make an appearance.

The show has gained massive popularity as Phil tries to showcase the best, but affordable and accessible, restaurants in international locations.
