Hollywood A-listers quietly move to Australia
Hollywood couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie are the latest A-listers to make the move Down Under.
The A-list couple kept their relocation under the radar, as they moved to the quiet coastal town of Byron Bay on the New South Wales north coast.
The married couple, who are usually based in Los Angeles, now join the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso, and Zac Efron as the latest famous Byron Bay residents.
Alison Brie, best known for her roles in TV series Community and GLOW, is in Australia filming her latest project, TV miniseries Apples Never Fall based on the best-selling novel by Australian author, Liane Moriarty, with her actor husband by her side.
The actress’ Instagram page showcases plenty of moments of the couple’s happy new life in the popular coastal town, as well as pictures of them taking in the sights of Sydney and Melbourne, where they celebrated Franco’s birthday.
The famous couple met in 2011 after being introduced by a mutual friend, and got married six years later during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.
Byron Bay has long attracted high-profile celebrities looking for a slower pace of life.
Chris Hemsworth brought plenty of attention and star power to the town back in 2014 when he purchased a 4.2 hectare property for $7 million.
He and wife Elsa Pataky lived in the original eight-room home before knocking it down to build a $20 million mega-mansion.
Zac Efron also famously rode out most of the pandemic living in the coastal town, while American actress Melissa McCarthy chose to base herself there for a small stint after wrapping up production on Nicole Kidman’s Nine Perfect Strangers TV series in 2021.
