Sydney | Food | Lois Lane | Bondi Beach | Director

The 22 Year-old Itch

by Mark Seal

Her apartment was in an area called Point Piper, also surrounded by water. "It was right on the point, so my apartment was surrounded by water on all sides except for one, obviously," Bosworth says. "It was so beautiful to wake up every day and just literally have ocean all around you. There's something exciting and peaceful about it at the same time. The ocean lapped up against my patio, and when I went to bed at night, I could hear the boats."

WHEN YOU'RE LOIS LANE, you never know when Superman is going to swoop down and carry you off into the clouds or when you might fall into the clutches of some evildoer.

For that, Bosworth required sustenance, and Sydney has plenty of it.

When she wasn't working, she'd go exploring. It was always easy to find a bite to eat along the way. "There is this unbelievably beautiful walk, and anyone who's lived in Sydney would know it," she says. "You start at Icebergs, which is a wonderful ­restaurant - really good food. We had birthday parties for some of the cast and the director [Bryan Singer] there. We would meet at Icebergs on a Sunday afternoon, and you get a good bottle of wine or a cocktail and just watch the sunset because it's right on the water."

From Icebergs, "you walk all the way along the water, up around different sorts of bays and inlets, and come to Bondi Beach, which is another great place to get food." Often, Bosworth would stop for what she calls "a guilty treat. There's a great fish-and-chips place. I can't remember exactly what it's called. But it's local, and it's kind of the only one there. It's just a great place to eat and kind of socialize." If you miss the fish-and-chips, you can catch Three Eggs in North Bondi on the way back. "It's more cozy than Kawa, which is open and airy and light," she explains. "Three Eggs has big wooden tables and everybody sits out together. It has really, really yummy breakfast foods. Or pastas."
