Golden Globe-winner Hollywood star actress, Uma Thurman, is in Budapest due to the shooting of her newest film, Ballerina Overdrive, an action-thriller. However, she does not only work in the Hungarian capital. She also trains hard in a Budapest gym with a popular Hungarian personal trainer, a close friend of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Budapest is one of the top places for Hollywood to shoot films. That is why, for example, the second sequel of “Now You See Me” with actors like Jesse Eisenberg and Morgan Freeman is being shot in Hungary. Woody Harrelson is also in Budapest having a party at Madách Square, playing pedal ball and basketball in the Hungarian capital.
Furthermore, Patrick Duffy, famous for portraying Bobby Ewing in the Dallas series, and his partner, Linda Purl, were also in Hungary to promote Duffy’s newest movie, “Lepattanó”. Duffy was a guest of honour at the 20th CineFest International Film Festival in Miskolc, so he was not new to Budapest.
