Reggae superstar Shaggy was spotted enjoying a glamorous night out in Brisbane alongside Hollywood heavyweights Kevin Costner, Jake Gyllenhaal and pop sensation Rita Ora as filming continues for the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios comedy-drama Honeymoon With Harry.
According to reports, the cast gathered at upscale South Bank restaurant Otto over the weekend, blending in with locals while taking a break from filming across Brisbane and the Whitsundays. Rather than requesting private VIP treatment, the stars reportedly dined among fellow guests at the packed riverfront hotspot, creating major buzz among diners lucky enough to witness the star-studded gathering.
Shaggy, who released his 17th studio album Lottery on May 15, kept things effortlessly cool in a smart neutral-toned outfit while chatting with co-stars throughout the evening. Sitting nearby were Kevin Costner and Jake Gyllenhaal, who appeared relaxed and in high spirits after weeks of filming in Queensland.
Rita Ora brought undeniable glamour to the dinner outing, accessorising her chic look with aviator sunglasses and stacked gold jewellery, while actress Sarah Pidgeon opted for a stylish brown bomber jacket fresh off the success of her acclaimed performance as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.
The Brisbane dinner outing further highlighted how close the cast has become while working on Honeymoon With Harry, a film already generating significant excitement ahead of its release.
Based on Bart Baker’s novel of the same name, the film is directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Honeymoon with Harry follows Todd (Jake Gyllenhaal), a rough-around-the-edges groom whose world is shattered when his fiancée Haley (Sarah Pidgeon) dies just days before their wedding. Instead of cancelling the trip, Todd reluctantly embarks on the planned island honeymoon alongside Haley’s overprotective and sharp-tongued father, Harry (Kevin Costner). What begins as a tense and emotionally charged journey filled with constant clashes and resentment slowly evolves into an unlikely bond as the two grieving men navigate loss, healing and unexpected connection together.
While details surrounding Rita Ora’s and Shaggy’s characters remain tightly under wraps, fans are already speculating that the two music stars could contribute original songs or memorable musical moments to the film’s soundtrack.
The production is said to transform Brisbane into a temporary Hollywood hub over the past month, with locals frequently spotting Costner exploring the city between shoots. The Yellowstone actor has attended AFL matches at The Gabba, visited cafes in South Bank, and posed for selfies with restaurant owners, florists and fans throughout the city.
Costner has reportedly embraced life in Queensland, recently dining at high-end venues including Hellenika and SK Steak & Oyster, where he was photographed with former Brisbane Broncos star Darius Boyd and his wife Kayla.
Meanwhile, Shaggy’s presence on set continues to excite both film and music fans eager to see the Grammy-winning entertainer return to the big screen in a major Hollywood production.
With an all-star cast, heartfelt premise and the buzz of celebrity sightings across Brisbane, Honeymoon With Harry is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated upcoming comedy-dramas from Amazon MGM Studios.
