Yesterday was my daughter Ava's 7th Birthday. We had planned on a girls day and she requested going to the Ripley's Aquarium of Canada.
We woke up, ate breakfast and off we went. And kept going. The line? Was all the way down the street and around the corner. Some people had been waiting over an hour. It was hot, the girls were hungry and no one wanted to wait.
We kept walking and decided we would go for lunch and have a mini shopping spree for Av's day.
We walked and walked and finally happened upon some filming. Of course we had to stop. At first I thought it was my favourite tv show that I've been obsessed with lately, Suits. I didn't see anyone I recognized though but I got out my phone anyways to see what I could get.
Hmmm, that guy looks familiar. Of course! It's Peter Gallagher (of "the OC" fame) so awesome! I tweeted asking if anyone knew what was filming in Toronto with Peter Gallagher. I was too impatient so searched and found it was the tv show Covert Affairs. I haven't ever seen it, so I had no idea what it was.
I know lots of filming happens in Toronto it's even been dubbed "Hollywood North" Toronto. I however never see it, ever. So we stopped for a few minutes, I took out my camera for some photos while we watched them film a scene.
Pretty cool if you ask me!
I was checking out what all is filming in Toronto right now and not only is my favourite Suits filming but so is an Adam Sandler movie called Pixels, Rookie Blue (a Canadian hit we love!), Degrassi, Property Brothers and more! I thought was pretty cool. I often see photos of Suits filming on social media so Jordan has asked if I could take him on a lunch date downtown in the areas and see if we can catch a glimpse next week. Harvey Specter? Mike Ross? Who am I to say no?
Have you ever stumbled upon a famous person while out and about? What about a filming? Talk about fun!
Happy birthday to your little one. It's awesome that yall stumbled upon a filming! That doesn't ever happen here in Texas :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Bday!! Glad she had a fun day for her special day!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that . . . plus I love Covert Affairs and Suits! What an exciting day!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in California people thought I would see things like this all of the time but we honestly never did. So cool for you and your daughter!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your girl! I love stumbling across sets. We occasionally have them in my city - right now they're filming within a couple of miles of my house. It's pretty fun!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! A fun celebrity spotting on a birthday too? Awesome! We love Covert Affairs!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I've never stumbled on a professional filming but me and a group of friends used to film funny short skits, it was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool! There really are a lot of things being filmed in Toronto now.
ReplyDeleteHere in NYC I work downtown and see lots of celebs just out and about. I'm bad though about recognizing them though!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled onto the set of American Horror Story when I was visiting Louisiana--it was so cool! Looks like you had fun with this run in with Hollywood!
ReplyDeleteSoooo Cool!!! Didn't know Toronto was "Hollywood North" either.
ReplyDeleteThat would be really neat to see. We never get that stuff out here in rural Kansas.

ReplyDeletewow! I would totally try to be in the movie. I would love to witness that
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! I would love to be that close and see it all being done. Good thing you kept walking!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos. It was nice to get a look at the place through your photos and get a sense of the place even though I am far away.
ReplyDeleteI used to LOVE him on The Oc! He is a handsome older man ;) I haven't seen Covert Affairs but have heard awesome things about the show!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to stumble upon some shooting! Great photos and I love Peter Gallagher
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! I would totally be taking pictures and sharing about it too if that happened here on the California Central Coast!
ReplyDeleteSuits is my favorite show right now. Looks like you had fun even though you couldn't get in!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been so cool to happen across! I wonder if he was filming an episode of Covert Affairs?!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely fun! You just never know when you will stumble across a set in Hollywood! Amber N
ReplyDeleteFirst off, happy birthday! I have never seen anyone famous or been to a filming, but thing the experience would be totally cool!
ReplyDeleteI met Jason Hawes from Ghost Hunters - but I was at his Inn nearby. They used to throw amazing Fourth of July family parties!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I would love to visit Hollywood. I've never been.
ReplyDeleteWhen i used to live in Toronto many years ago i would be a extra for a few shows that would film in the area. What a fun day you had. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! It must have been fun to see.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Ava! Sounds like you all had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Chicago, I saw Keanu Reeves. They were shooting the movie Chain Reaction.
