\n For me, my love of Sydney, Australia \u2014 where I shot Anyone But You<\/em> starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell \u2014 boils down to two things. One, it\u2019s not only a beautiful city, but every small neighborhood has the water right next to it. There\u2019s beach everywhere, and even ferries as public transport. Second, the people are really, really nice \u2014 the rumors are true. They also have an amazing life-work balance \u2014 they work really hard all day, but when it\u2019s time to wrap, it\u2019s time to wrap. You film, but you also have a life; it was a real lesson to me.<\/p>\n

\n I wanted Anyone But You<\/em> set specifically in Sydney because I had really fallen in love with the city, starting back in 2018. After\u202fmaking Peter Rabbit <\/em>in Sydney, I liked it so much that for Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway<\/em>, I moved my whole family down\u202fthere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Almost every time you shoot a movie in Sydney, you have to pretend it\u2019s somewhere else and frame out the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. For Anyone But You<\/em>, I thought, \u201cWhy do that?\u201d We actually wrote this movie 100\u202fpercent for Sydney \u2014 very specific to the destination.<\/p>\n

\n The amazing thing about Sydney is that you can be in deep urban jungle, but only a 15-minute drive from forest: nothing but trees as far as your eyes can see. We lived previously in the suburb\u202fof Mosman by Taronga Zoo, and you\u2019d take a turn and find a bush walk where you\u2019re all by yourself. That\u2019s the fun part, all the hikes and hidden beaches. They\u2019re stunning, and it makes you wonder, \u201cWhy is nobody\u202fhere?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n I\u2019ve lived and stayed in all different parts of Sydney, but I think I\u2019ve spent 50 days at the InterContinental Sydney Double\u202fBay. It\u2019s quiet and nice. Our favorite restaurant in all of Sydney is Cho Cho San in Potts Point. It\u2019s Japanese with an Australian bent. My go-to are the miso eggplant sticks and pickled cucumbers \u2014 I took the cast there a few times and they absolutely loved it. The same owner also has a great Greek place across the street called The Apollo. Potts Point is a wonderful place to walk around after dinner and get gelato, too.<\/p>\n

\n Sydney has not just the beaches and water but is also a real global city. I like to use all parts of the deer, as they say, and this was a good opportunity to film at the beach but also in an actual city. I wanted to film not just the landmarks but the normal neighborhoods, which we had fun doing. Because we were shooting Sydney for Sydney, the New South Wales government allowed us to shoot every place we wanted.<\/p>\n

\n We flew helicopters all over \u2014 seeing the city from that vantage point is stunning \u2014 and landed one at the Opera House, shut down the Harbour Bridge, filmed at the Queen Victoria Building, and shot for two weeks overlooking Bondi Beach. We spent a week on a boat in Sydney Harbour shooting a scene where they\u2019re stranded on a buoy, but you can\u2019t have humans in the water without a shark cage, so we had to have one the whole time. You pinch yourself. It\u2019s so unbelievable we were actually doing these things.<\/p>\n

\n We happ<\/a>ened to have our welcome dinner with the cast on the final night of Sydney WorldPride, so Glen and Sydney [Sweeney] and I walked around the festivities for hours. There were masses of people and it was lots of fun. The parade was so huge, we literally couldn\u2019t cross it, so we ended up joining it for the night.<\/p>\n

\n Glen and I put on scuba gear at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and swam with the sharks \u2014 they\u2019re monstrous. After what felt like five minutes, our guide said, \u201cOK, time to come up.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d He said, \u201cYou\u2019ve been down there for an hour!\u201d It was so amazing. I never would have thought swimming with sharks would have been so peaceful.<\/p>\n

\n Ironically, the place we ended up shooting the interiors of our \u201cbeach house\u201d was about an hour inland, in Terrey Hills, because we needed a really, really big house \u2014 the magic of movies<\/a>. It turns out Australians aren\u2019t ostentatious, so they don\u2019t have gigantic beach houses. They also understand that building houses right on the beach is not ideal.<\/p>\n

\n One of the best parts for me was shooting for 10 days in Palm Beach, a suburb in the Northern Beaches. Our caravans were parked right on the water, and Glen and Sydney and I decided to live there the whole time. We\u2019d shoot all day and all the crew would go home, then we\u2019d jump in the water and have a swim, go to our trailers and have dinner sitting outside. It\u2019s one of the most beautiful places in the world, and you normally wouldn\u2019t be allowed to sleep there. It was probably the most fun I\u2019ve ever had filming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
