EXCLUSIVE Sarah Michelle Gellar reveals if she would move to Australia after filming surprise cameo in I Know What You Did Last Summer - and the reason why it wouldn't be in trendy Bondi
And Sarah Michelle Gellar did a great job of keeping her involvement tightly under wraps when she joined her husband of 22 years, Freddie Prinze Jr., in Australia for filming last year.
While Sarah confirmed Freddie would reprise his role as Ray Bronson in the movie last year, her return was a huge secret.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Sarah said she never lied about her part in the flick, but rather chose her words wisely.
'I never said I wasn't going to be in the movie. All I ever said was I was dead,' she said with a laugh.

Freddie and Sarah starred in the cult film in 1997, when he was 21 years old and she was 20. They married five years later.
Her involvement in the latest instalment of the movie came as a surprise to fans as her popular character Helen Shivers was killed off.
As for her time Down Under to film the movie, Sarah said the couple loved Australia so much they wouldn't discount putting down roots in Sydney.
'Sydney to me is that wonderful mix,' she said.
'You have the laidback beach culture of LA, but you have the modern city and the culture of New York. So I'm definitely a Sydney girl.'
But when Freddie suggested they stay in the popular beachside suburb of Bondi during their recent stay, Sarah knew better.
'No, no. Bondi is great to eat but it's too crowded. You won't love it. I know you,' she said.
The Scooby-Doo star said she much preferred Bondi's quieter neighbouring suburbs.
'Double Bay or Rose Rose, I'm ready to go,' she said, raving about the eastern suburbs' stunning beaches and top-notch coffee spots.
The couple and their children arrived in Australia for filming in November last year.
During their stay, they visited Taronga Zoo, Sea Life Aquarium and even did the Sydney Bridge climb.
After spending weeks Down Under, they left with a suitcase filled with one iconic Aussie staple.
'I am a Tim Tam girl,' she admitted.
'My suitcase was quite filled. I was very worried about customs!'
During her time filming the flick in Sydney, the idea of an Uber One partnership was born.
Uber One is a membership that offers savings on Uber rides and UberEats, and perks, like savings at the cinema.
'We were living in Rose Bay and we didn't have a car, we literally Ubered everywhere and ordered Uber Eats constantly,' Sarah explained.
'So, when Uber One approached me for this campaign, they actually showed me how much I would've saved if I'd been an Uber One member during our stay. You'll see in the ad… it was a lot.
In a promotional clip for Uber One, Sarah is reunited with the murderous fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer.
She shows what she could have saved last summer with Uber One - a somewhat frightening sum.
Uber One members can now watch Sarah in I Know What You Did Last Summer at Hoyts with pretty crazy perks, including $12.50 general admission tickets, $27.50 HOYTS LUX tickets and free popcorn refills.

From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The radio star, 54, revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday that his chauffeur George Plassaras had been involved in a collision that left him with 'multiple broken bones' These included a broken spine, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and diaphragm, a torn open abdomen, two broken hips and two broken femurs. Kyle said that George was the 'greatest employee ever' thanks to his actions following the accident. 'What did [he] say when he was taken away in the ambulance? He asked for his mobile phone so he could do what?' he added. 'This is a guy at 4.30 in the morning after he has been cut out of his vehicle, he's been trapped in his van for an hour, this poor bloke. 'And he asks the ambo: "Get my phone so I can make sure Kyle's all right for the week."' The young woman who crashed her $600,000 Rolls-Royce into George's Mercedes was allegedly drunk and will face court. The high-speed, head-on collision occurred around 3.30am on Saturday at New South Head Road in Rose Bay, in the city's east. NSW Police allege LanLan Yang, 23, veered onto the wrong side of the road, slamming into a Mercedes van being driven by the 52-year-old chauffeur. George, who runs Dakota Limousines, was trapped in the wreckage as horrified witnesses rushed to call triple zero. He could be heard yelling for help inside the crushed vehicle, as emergency crews from NSW Police Rescue and Fire and Rescue NSW worked to free him. The crash was captured on nearby CCTV which appeared to show Yang's luxury SUV allegedly veering into oncoming traffic before the violent collision. Police allege Yang carried out a roadside breath test, which returned a positive result, and she was arrested at the scene. At Waverley Police Station, she allegedly refused to undergo a breath analysis. Yang was charged with causing bodily harm by misconduct, being in charge of a motor vehicle, and refusing or failing to submit to breath analysis. She was granted conditional bail and ordered to surrender her passport. Under the strict conditions, she has been prohibited from driving a car and must remain at her Waverley mansion between 8pm and 6am daily. Yang is scheduled to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 15.

Footy bad boy Jordan De Goey reveals baby joy with his TV star girlfriend Aisha Jade McKinnon
Collingwood star Jordan De Goey has revealed he and partner Aisha Jade McKinnon are expecting their first child, calling the joyful news 'the greatest surprise of them all'. The couple made the big reveal on Instagram, sharing a photo of De Goey's hands cradling McKinnon's baby bump, accompanied by an ultrasound video and a clip of the moment the overjoyed Magpies forward found out he is going to be a dad. 'In the midst of our changing lives we were blessed with the greatest surprise of them all, baby girl coming soon,' read the caption on the post. Their announcement drew congratulatory messages from De Goey's teammates Isaac Quaynor and Mason Cox, as well as Annalise Dalins, the fiancée of Pies star Josh Daicos. McKinnon - who starred on Big Brother and is forging a career in fashion design - made their romance official last October when they attended Collingwood's best and fairest night. The couple have bought a farm together and McKinnon has previously opened up about her man's reputation as a bad boy off the field. The footy glamour couple are due to have a daughter - with the announcement drawing messages of congratulations from other AFL stars De Goey briefly ended up in a New York jail in October 2021 after pleading not guilty to a charge of forcible touching in a New York night club, and he made headlines in 2022 when a video emerged of him touching and exposing a woman's breast at a nightclub in Bali. The 29-year-old was slammed by fans and footy experts when he said he had 'made mistakes' because he has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. 'Late last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD and I am trying to become more aware of why I make mistakes that I do. I have again made a mistake – this is an ongoing journey for me – and I remain absolutely committed to changing,' De Goey said in an official Collingwood statement. He joked that he would have to 'lock himself inside his house to stay out of trouble' before going on to star for Collingwood as they won the premiership in 2023. 'It's sad because I know a very different Jordy,' McKinnon said in December last year. 'He's really lovely. We definitely value our privacy, we connected on that, and we both have unique jobs and support each other.' De Goey has only played five games this year as premiership favourites Collingwood sit atop the ladder. Problems with his Achilles tendon and concussion have kept him out of the AFL since round nine, but he took a big step on Saturday as he played in the VFL.

Outback Wrangler Matt Wright is supported by his wife as he enters plea over helicopter crash that killed his co-star
Outback Wrangler's Matt Wright has pleaded not guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice more than three years after a fatal helicopter crash. The reality TV star was charged following the crash that killed co-star Chris 'Willow' Wilson in February 2022. Wearing a light blue shirt and blue jeans, Wright appeared calm when he fronted the Supreme Court in Darwin on Monday. He entered not guilty pleas for three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice when he was arraigned, kissing his wife during an adjournment. The 2022 crash in remote West Arnhem Land killed Mr Wilson, with pilot Sebastian Robinson also seriously injured. The trial is scheduled to begin on Wednesday and is expected to take four weeks, hearing from about 25 witnesses. Wright rose to fame starring in National Geographic's Outback Wrangler and Netflix series Wild Croc Territory.
