"Yeah, we did. We climbed it. And it's beautiful. I mean, you're at
an incredible height and you get to see the whole
Sydney, from the
Opera House to the
Blue Mountains. It's just really, really
beautiful."
She didn't make it to the Blue Mountains, but she did the next best
thing: She hit the Hunter Valley, home to some of Australia's
greatest vineyards. "I went wine-tasting in the Hunter Valley and
stayed at this incredible place called the Tower Lodge, which is
really intimate and small - only 12 rooms. But all the different
rooms have a different theme. They're very cozy with a fireplace,
and you kind of just taste wine and eat good food. And yeah, you
just go from one vineyard to the next.
MUCH TOO SOON FOR BOSWORTH, principal photography wrapped on
Superman Returns, and the actress's eight-month love affair with
Sydney was over.
"The last night, we went to the Bayswater Brasserie. It's sort of
loungy - it's a restaurant, and it has a lounge. We all went there,
the whole crew. That was a little bit of a crazy night. I'm not
really sure I can remember where we all ended up. We were sort of
in a celebratory mood. And then I had to catch a really, really
early flight with Jimmy Marsden the next day, and we were both
feeling the late night together."
Then the plane took off, and Bosworth was forced to leave both
Sydney and Superman behind.
"Gosh, I was really sad," she says. "Listen, I've been in places
[for films] where I was there only for a couple of weeks and I felt
like it took ages because I missed being home and I missed my
friends. But when I was in Sydney, eight months felt like a brief
moment in time."
For Superman, it was a moment that may never come again.
Or will it?
