The stars of The Big Year, surprised some locals at the Long Beach Golf in Tofino, BC over the weekend when they showed up to play a round of golf.
Despite a warning that there was a massive arena and swimming pool fundraiser happening near-by, Jack Black and Owen Wilson chose to play anyway. “We were a little surprised that they came,” said Keith Gibson, the golf course’s general manager. “We let them know we were having this big celebration today, so it’s still nice that they came out.”
Black was later seen walking through the crowd outside the pro shop, shaking hands and signing autographs.
As we reported Tuesday, the cast is filming in Tofino through Saturday. We’ve also had several reports that the production company has rented out the Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet, BC for the entire week.
The movie, which also stars Steve Martin, is about three avid bird watchers who compete to spot the rarest bird in North America.
The Big Year continues to film in the greater Vancouver area through June. If you spot the cast of The Big Year around town, let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
