It’s a good time to be a star-spotter in Ireland as a wealth of Hollywood talent has touched down on our shores in recent weeks.
Despite the pandemic, the show must go on for big-budget productions and it’s full steam ahead for many high-profile projects.
While some stars, such as The Crown’s Josh O’Connor and Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland, have departed our shores, others have jetted in to take their place.
Here’s a look at some of the famous faces currently enjoying Irish hospitality.
Amy Adams
The 46-year-old Oscar-nominated actress touched down in Ireland a couple of months ago to work in the sequel to her 2007 hit movie Enchanted.
Entitled Disenchanted, fans have been excited to see sets being built in Eniskerry and in the grounds of the RDS in Dublin.
Adams delighted fans when she posted a video on social media announcing that she was in the country, but sightings of her have been thin on the ground so far - although she did bring her daughter to the National Gallery on her birthday.
Patrick Dempsey
Adams' Disenchanted co-star Patrick Dempsey has been making the most of his time in Ireland.
The 55-year-old Grey’s Anatomy fan favourite, who played Dr “McDreamy” Derek Sheppard in the show, was staying at Olivia’s Haven in Coleraine, Co Derry, for his first couple of weeks on the Emerald Isle.
He appeared to love the area, regularly posting pictures to his social media. He grew particularly attached to a donkey named Neddy who he was photographed with even telling the owner of Olivia’s Haven that they should set the animal up his own Instagram.
Since then, Dempsey has been regularly posting about Ireland and also spotted filming on several occasions.
Maya Rudolph
Another Disenchated star, Rudolph kept her arrival in Ireland very quiet and it was only when she and her family did a boat cruise around Ireland’s Eye did people realise she was here.
The 48-year-old actress will play the villainous Malvina Monroe in the fantasy musical. Upon announcement of her casting, Rudolph tweeted: "What's a good fairy tale without a great villain? I'll see you in Andalasia my pretties...."
Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth Banks arrived in Ireland with a bang this week to shoot her new movie Cocaine Bear.
The 47-year-old star posted a video of her initial experiences in the country that racked up almost 165,000 views. The video showed her getting to grips with driving on the left-hand side of the road and appearing bemused by Tayto.
The Pitch Perfect star is staying in the posh suburb of Dalkey while she is here and outgoing Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu recommended she take a leaf out of fellow Hollywood star Matt Damon’s book, posting on the star's Twitter: "I recommend grabbing a SuperValu bag and hitting the beach x”
Hugh Grant
Fresh from his success on the huge Sky Atlantic hit The Undoing, Grant has landed in Belfast to film fantasy action-adventure Dungeons and Dragons.
The Bridget Jones's Diary and Love Actually star is reportedly playing the villain in the movie and so far has only been spotted on set where he was dressed in costume in an embroidered long, brown overcoat with white, ruffled cuffs and a silk, blue neckerchief.
Chris Pine
Hunky Wonder Woman star Chris Pine is also in Ireland to film Dungeons and Dragons but he hasn’t been seen out and about other than when he landed.
However, Pine didn’t even hang around then and was escorted to his accommodation in a black chauffeur-driven limo. So far we have only seen pictures of him on set.
Michelle Rodriguez
Currently appearing on the big screen in F9, 42-year old Rodriguez is yet another Dungeon’s and Dragon’s cast member.
She has been spotted jetting around Belfast on an electric scooter while wearing a futuristic face mask (obviously not trying to draw attention to herself!)
She has also posted a video of the Irish scenery to her Instagram, commenting: “Ireland is some kind of poetry, with its moody skies, 50 shades of green, full-spectrum rainbows, my heart’s loving this land.”
Jane Seymour
Former Bond Girl Jane Seymour has been filming her new TV show Harry Wild in Ireland for the past several months and has been delighting fans with her behind-the-scenes post on Instagram.
She’s also learned how to pull a pint of Guinness and has become quite friendly with co-star Amy Huberman, even attending a barbecue in her home with Brian O’Driscoll on grilling duties and David O’Doherty on the guest list.
