Hollywood Star Spotted in North Wales

A-list actor Bradley Cooper and survival expert Bear Grylls were spotted enjoying a casual lunch in the Welsh village of Abersoch. The unlikely duo were seen strolling through the village center on Friday, much to the surprise of locals.

Local resident Clare Lea captured the moment the two men crossed a street, both sporting smiles that suggested they were enjoying the attention. According to reports, Cooper and his companions dined at Blades cafe, where he even took the initiative to clear his own plates.

While the reason for their visit remains unknown, their backgrounds in film suggest it could be for professional purposes. Clare Lea, who witnessed the encounter, told North Wales Live, "He was just having a nice quiet lunch with friends and family. He had visited the Blades café and cleared away his own plates with Bear, and was very respectful. They chatted away with locals and both didn't stop smiling (and) happily shook hands."

Cooper is best known for his roles in blockbuster films such as "Silver Linings Playbook," "American Sniper," and "A Star is Born," where he also served as director alongside Lady Gaga. He also voiced the character Rocket in the Disney+ series "I Am Groot" and will reprise the role in the upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3".

Grylls is renowned for his hit television series including "Man vs. Wild," "Running Wild with Bear Grylls," and "The Island with Bear Grylls." The adventurer and writer purchased Saint Tudwal's Island West near Abersoch in 2001.

The unexpected appearance of these two high-profile figures in the quaint Welsh village has generated a buzz, leaving locals with a memorable encounter with Hollywood and adventure.
