Bevan is a film producer and the co-chairman of production company Working Title Films. Billy Elliot and Bridget Jones’s Diary are among the iconic titles he has produced.

Roberts and Clooney have been spotted filming in a number of destinations across the Sunshine State including Brisbane, Gold Coast and the Whitsundays since November.

Australia was chosen as the location for the movie when Covid restrictions shut down much of the world’s film industry over the past 18 months.
