In 2012 Emma Watson was in
Iceland filming of movie ‘Noah.’
With four of her friends, she
stumbled upon our ‘Best of
Reykjavík’ Thai restaurant Ban
Thai. At least we know she wasn’t
eating puffin, if we can trust the
Letterman interview, where she
acted all indignant and horrified at
the idea of eating delicious puffin.
At Ban Thai, be sure to touch all
the tables and chairs inside the
restaurant, because we can’t
confirm exactly which ones she
used (it will probably still smell like
daisies and unicorns, though).
Well, Boston, what is so special
about you? Oh, right, you’re the
second incarnation of that super
hip club Sirkús, where Björk
herself used to party! Or at least
there was a scene for her video
shot there. Or was it that she used
the toilet there once? Too bad
the club closed down at 2008.
We heard that they were pretty
luxurious, those toilets at Sirkús.
Anyway, she’s been known to spin
the decks at Sirkús.
This is apparently where Iceland’s
biggest ever celebrity scoop, like,
ever, happened. The one and only
Tom Cruise enjoyed a magical
dinner with his then wife Katie
Holmes and their daughter Suri.
Wait a minute! Wasn’t it like just
before Katie decided to divorce Mr.
Susan Sarandon is here! Or at least
she was a month ago. Shame on
you and your stalking skills, if you
This is where Ryan Gosling was
seen peeing late at night during
one of those drunken nights in
downtown. Oh wait. Maybe it
was one of those infamous Ryan
Gosling look-a-likes after all.
Damn it, those motherfuckers are
We know you all were pretty
upset to learn that it wasn’t
actually the real Ryan Gosling
who made headlines a few weeks
ago by getting his car crashed on
Sæbraut. Don’t worry. There are
plenty of celebrities that did come
over to Iceland and got up to all
sorts of silly behaviour. And guess
what? We, Your Friends At The
Grapevine, are here to help you get
over your Gosling-blues, girl. How?
By helping you create your own
little DIY walking tour that covers
most, if not all, of the wonderful,
shiny Hollywood stars that have
gotten up to CRAZY ANTICS in
Reykjavík!
Scientology? That doesn’t seem
magical at all. Crikey! At least the
sushi is good. Compare the tabloid
photos to the venue itself and see
if they’ve changed since last year.
didn’t manage to spot her in the
streets of 101! This Rocky Horror
Picture Show star might have
come for a visit after she heard
of Ryan Gosling’s adventures
around town. Or maybe she just
came over for that lovely rain
we’ve been enjoying this summer?
Nevertheless she was seen
enjoying breakfast at Hotel Borg.
This scoop is brought to you by the
Grapevine snoops at Hotel Borg.
