25 Hollywood Celebrities You Can Spot In Montreal This Summer
Montreal has gained quite the reputation lately as a haven for the film industry. There are 3 reasons for this boom: tax breaks, an amazing looking city that is cinematically diverse, and the fact that celebrities just love Montreal culture. Okay, so I have no data to back that 3rd fact up, but any celebrity who doesn't love Montreal just hasn't realized it yet. Speaking of which, there are a ton of celebrities that are spending time in Montreal this summer - more than in the last 20+ years!
So here is a list of 25 celebrities you can expect to spot in Montreal this summer:
1. Dave Chappelle

Hawkeye! a.k.a. "How is he fighting robots with arrows?" Of course to me he'll always be D'Agostino from Senior Trip.
5. Bono
U2 has 4 different concert dates in Montreal this summer so Bono will be in town along with The Edge and um ... uuuuuh ... those 2 other guys.

7. Neil Patrick Harris
NPH is coming to town? It's going to be Legen - wait for it - dary!

9. Weird Al Yankovitch
No childhood was complete without the classic song parodies of Weird Al. Sometimes I can't remeber the words to the original songs so I just sing his versions instead.
10. T.J. Miller
An extremely underrated comedian, you might know him from HBO's Silicon Valley which airs immediately after Game of Thrones.
11. Reggie Watts
Reggie is an unusual man, you either love him or you hate him. It's difficult to figure out if Reggie is a genius or just insane. One the one hand he's clearly nutty but he also gives TED talks so it's up for debate.
12. J.B. Smoove
Not sure what it is about JB Smoove but he's every where. Like everywhere! He's outside my window right now and he was the rabbi at my nephew's Bar Mitzva.
14. Rob Schneider
15. Gilbert Gottfried
Even if you have no idea who he is, you know who Iago from Aladdin is. So yea, Iago from Aladdin is coming to town.

20. Jennifer Lawrence
J Law is coming! She'll be in town filming X-Men: Apocalypse
21. James McAvoy
Professor Xavier himself is coming to town. I never understood why he has to touch his temple to read your mind. Is that really necessary?

Careful crossing intersections this summer you don't want to interrupt him while he's walking.
