NPH became an honorary Vancouverite after finding a home here while filming the hit Netflix series Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events’ second and third seasons. Harris wrapped up shooting in May 2018, but not before he bid goodbye to Vancouver in a sentimental video.

Tough on the outside, but a total softy on the inside – for Vancouver, at least. While he was in town filming Skyscraper in 2017 he posted a heartwarming video on Instagram sharing why he loves the city so much. The megastar has shared his love for Van City a few times now, and we are loving it.

Chris Hemsworth

While he was filming Bad Times at the El Royale in Vancouver, a video of Hemsworth using a selfie stick to show off his temporary digs in Coal Harbour in downtown Vancouver was posted, and he looked impressed with the unobstructed, panoramic mountain and inlet views: “Woah, here we are! Selfie stick adventures, Canada! Will you have a look at that view, would ya? This will do.”

Kate Winslet

If you’ve dabbled in a doughnut from Deep Cove’s Honey’s then you know why Winslet is a return customer. The Titanic star has professed her fondness for Vancouver and the tiny doughnut shop several times.

Whether he’s in his Deadpool suit filming, or in a T-shirt hanging with his former Gossip Girl star wife Blake Lively and their children, Vancouver native Ryan Reynolds has shown mad love for his hometown. Reynolds’ latest gesture of love came with his call to save the Rio Theatre, an East Vancouver venue he called “legendary,” before adding that he plans “to be buried there.”
