While in the seaside towns last July and August, many were eager to grab a selfie with stars.

Kent Surf School owners Andy Webb even offered them surf lessons - which they had to decline due to their busy schedule.

Speaking at the time, Mr Webb said: "We hosted the stars and crews for them to do their hair, make-up and keep warm.

"They were really friendly and said they loved Broadstairs, having not been here before.

"I did offer them surf lessons, but sadly they said they couldn't because of their busy schedule - it was such a shame!"

Lisa Teall, who runs the Tanning Lounge in Belvedere Road, Broadstairs, was delighted when Ethan Hawke popped in her shop.
