Where was Ticket to Paradise shot?
Ticket to Paradise was shot on location in Queensland, Australia. Filming was aided by incentives from the Australian federal government and from Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy.
During filming Julia was staying in a home by herself while Clooney, his wife Amal and their kids - five-year-old twins Alexander and Ella - stayed in a rental close by.
George told Deadline, “We started in Hamilton Island, with all these wild birds, and Julia had the house down just below Amal and me and the kids. I would come out in the early mornings and be like, ‘Caa-caa,’ and Julia would come out and be like, ‘Caa-caa.’ And then we’d bring her down a cup of coffee. She was Aunt Juju to my kids.”
Meanwhile, Julia confessed that George and Amal had helped her cope with being away from family.
She explained, “The Clooneys saved me from complete loneliness and despair. We were in a bubble, and it’s the longest I’ve ever been away from my family. I don’t think I’ve spent that much time by myself since I was 25.”
