REMEMBER WHEN

THE first pictures of camera-shy Hollywood lovebirds Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson together were snapped on the Gold Coast after the pair were reunited on Valentine’s Day.

But Hollywood’s ‘Mr Nice Guy’ was far from impressed and angrily jostled and swore at a Gold Coast Bulletin photographer, shocking fans who had waited at Pacific Fair to catch a glimpse of him.

Wilson reportedly flew in from the US for a surprise Valentine’s Day visit and spent the days holed up with Hudson at the Palazzo Versace hotel.

Their romance has been the worst kept secret since ‘Brangelina’ – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – but despite being common fodder for gossip magazines, nobody had photographed the pair together outside of official film engagements.

The couple were keen to keep it that way that day, going to great lengths to avoid being caught in the same frame during a bicycle ride in Southport by riding on opposite sides of the street.

Later in the afternoon, the pair ducked for cover when they spotted lenses outside the Pacific Fair cinema, where a pre-screening of Hudson’s film, Fool’s Gold, was being held for cast and crew members.

The pair walked hand-inhand to the back door of the cinema but leapt apart and headed for separate doors when they realised a photographer was present.

Wilson is widely known as the Mr Nice Guy of Hollywood, but he was so keen to avoid being snapped that he twice shoved the Bulletin photographer out of the way as he rushed up the stairs.
