Ethan Hawke says he was shocked by how much he liked Melbourne while he was living there.
The Hollywood star spent a few weeks in the Victorian capital earlier this year to shoot his forthcoming sci-fi movie Predestination.
And he says he found the city to be a great place for families.
"I found Melbourne to be an incredibly liveable city. I was kinda shocked," he said.
"My kids came. There's a lot of fun to be had, and it's a great place for families. The beaches were beautiful. I liked it. I was impressed."
