Hollywood stars spotted filming in Teneriffe
A touch of Hollywood has arrived in Teneriffe this week, with major film stars spotted shooting scenes in the inner-city suburb. Jake Gyllenhaal and Sarah Pidgeon were seen on location yesterday, April 17, 2026, as part of the production for a new comedy-drama. The pair were captured in footage shared by a local business, confirming the high-profile presence in the area.
The actors are working on the film Honeymoon with Harry, a project from Amazon MGM Studios. The movie also features Hollywood legend Kevin Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone. While the stars were spotted in Teneriffe, the production is taking place across Australia.
Stars seen in high spirits between takes
Footage shared by the local brow studio Bella Brows shows the actors waiting outside a venue where filming was underway. Gyllenhaal, 45, appeared in a crisp white shirt, while Pidgeon, 29, wore a burgundy top and bag with her blonde hair flowing over her shoulders. The video captures the pair chatting and moving around in high spirits during breaks in filming.
The scenes were reportedly shot during the golden hour sunset, adding a warm glow to the footage. In the studio’s Instagram post, the caption read: “Today’s been fun 😂 @sarah__pidgeon @jakegyllenhaal @kevincostner – see you tomorrow for an appointment?”. The post confirms the actors were present at the Teneriffe location on Friday.
Plot details and recent star roles
The film Honeymoon with Harry centres on a man who shares a honeymoon with his father-in-law following the death of his fiancée. This dramatic premise blends comedy with emotional storytelling, a tone frequently explored by Amazon MGM Studios.
Pidgeon has recently made waves in Hollywood for her portrayal of the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. She starred in Ryan Murphy’s series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, which aired in 2025 and chronicles the romance of the iconic couple who died in a plane crash off Martha’s Vineyard in July 1999. The series also stars Kevin Costner, who plays a role alongside Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly as JFK Jr.
Before this project, Pidgeon spent time in Australia filming the 2025 slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer. That production featured a reunion of the original cast, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Chase Sui Wonders, and Freddie Prinze Jr.
Reactions to recent projects
Not all reactions to Pidgeon’s recent work have been positive. Jack Schlossberg, the nephew of Kennedy Jr., has criticised the Ryan Murphy series. He labelled the show “grotesque” in his comments regarding the portrayal of his family’s history. Despite this criticism, the production continues to generate significant interest among fans of the actors involved.
The presence of such high-profile talent in Teneriffe highlights the suburb’s growing appeal as a filming location for major international productions. Local businesses like Bella Brows have found themselves in the middle of the action, capturing candid moments of the stars as they work.
