Byron Bay the new LA? All the celebs coming to town

Australia has scored yet another A-list import from Hollywood.

It happens to be the city in which the couple met almost 20 years ago.

Sacha, 49, and Isla, 44, who tied the knot in 2010, share three children together, Olive, 12, Elula, nine, and Montgomery, five.

According to the Daily Mail, Isla was spotted picking her kids up from their new school on Thursday.

The couple were also snapped having breakfast at Tropicana Coogee this week.

NSW may as well rename itself Hollywood with the amount of stars in the state at the moment.

Along with Isla and Sasha, Rose Byrne, Toni Collette, Idris Elba, Natalie Portman and Tilda Swinton are all in NSW working on upcoming films.

Zac Efron was also rumoured to be house hunting in Byron Bay earlier this year — joining the Hemsworths in the blissful beach town.

As for Sacha and Isla, the Perth-raised former Home And Away actress may have hinted at the move two years ago, having spoken of returning to Australia in a 2018 interview.

“I have this secret fantasy of slowing down, moving to Byron Bay, getting off the grid and sitting on the sand with a Vegemite sandwich,” she told Marie Claire.

The Wedding Crashers star added that it “isn’t easy” raising children in LA.

“There’s not really a culture of bringing your kids to dinner parties or to restaurants past 6pm.

“I tend to entertain at home because I want to be with my family – it’s easier to put your kids to bed and have a wine with friends.”

Meanwhile, Sacha has been making headlines lately with his jibes at Donald Trump during the US election, off the back of his most shocking film to date, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.

Trump became embroiled in a scandal relating to the film after his lawyer Rudy Giuliani was infamously caught in a compromising position in a hotel room with a young actress posing as a journalist.

The president was then asked the question of whether or not he had any concerns about White House security breaches.

Trump replied: “I don’t find him (Cohen) funny. To me, he’s a creep.”

Biting back, Sacha tweeted: “Donald – I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either.”

“But yet the whole world laughs at you. I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!”

After the election results and Trump’s stunning reaction he followed up with another shady post:
