Zac Efron's Ricky Stanicky movie house in Surrey Hills hits market
14 Norfolk Rd, Surrey Hills, was used to film Hollywood flick Ricky Stanicky, with cast including John Cena, Zac Efron and William H Macy having visited the home. It's lights, camera, auction at a Surrey Hills home that hosted Zac Efron, John Cena and William H Macy as it was used as the backdrop to comedy flick Ricky Stanicky. If 14 Norfolk Rd looks a little familiar, it's because it features in about 20 minutes of the 2024 film directed by Peter Farrelly. The owners have revealed they owe the surprise film appearance to the cancellation of Neighbours, who asked to use it for filming before being axed.

'I thought it was all a hoax at first, when I got the card I just left it on the bench until they gave me a follow up call,' the owner said. 'But we were there when they were shooting in our kitchen with Zac Efron doing a scene with John Cena and Jeff Ross and Andrew Santino. 'At one stage they were having an issue with the airconditioning and they got me to come in and help them to fix it, and as I was doing that I was watching Zac and William H Macy walking around our house and I was thinking: this is surreal.'

Meeting Cena, the owner said while his handshake had been a 'big mit', the former pro-wrestler turned Hollywood star had been very friendly and thanked them so much for 'letting us use your crib'. And with the production crew repairing a wall damaged when Cena accidentally knocked a mirror off of it, as well as a rear glass window that cracked under the heat of some of the filming lights, the family said they would absolutely do it again. 'It was a huge production. But they took a photo of everything in the house, including the pantry, and if your tomato sauce was on the third shelf on the left, that's where you found it at the end.' Aside from furnishings, the only major change the about $80m-budget film made to the home was to cover over the pool so they could make it a garden space.

'The film company now have us on their books,' they said. 'And they usually use a house a few times for different films, so it's probable they could come back for this home.' Eagle-eyed buyers might notice a photo collage on one of the walls showing scenes of the home in the movie as well as pictures taken during filming. But there's a lot to see around the 2016-built house, with an impressive flowing floorplan that has close to 650sq m of space under its roofline. Features include three ground-floor living areas, a study and a main bedroom. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms, two bathrooms and a home theatre. Outside the pool is neighboured by a gym space, with a basketball court at the rear of the hedge-lined block. The home's light and bright living spaces and the high ceilings helped to lure in Hollywood. Ricky Stanicky filming also spilled out into the street. And when you're entertaining, the party can spill from the inside to the outside thanks to bifold doors. For the next owners, the scope to entertain will be a major drawcard — especially in warmer weather when the bi-fold doors in the living room can be opened up to connect the inside with the outside. As the family prepares to sell, Kay & Burton's Scott Patterson is taking inquiries for the $5.5m-$5.9m listing and said beyond its phenomenal entertainment spaces and expansive family accommodation, it clearly came with 'star power'. 'There's very few homes of this size and quality that have been offered to the market in the past few years,' Mr Patterson said. 'It's been a few years since I've walked into a similar home. It's an upper end of Surrey Hills and a bit of a rare offering. 'And the movie people have identified it as a really picturesque home.' Multiple living spaces feature throughout the home. An upstairs living zone provides tree-lined views. John Cena greeting fans during the filming at the Surrey Hills home. The agent added that with September starting barely a week after the home's auction date, the sale could set the tone for what was to come in spring — and the prospect of a rate cut before then could mean good news for sellers. No. 14 Norfolk Rd, Surrey Hills, will go to auction at 2pm on August 23. Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update.

John Cena cancer diagnosis at center of Neutrogena sunscreen partnership
Neutrogena launched a new campaign for their Ultra SheerFace Liquid Mineral Sunscreen SPF 70. The face of the campaign may come as a surprise: WWE superstar-turned-actor John Cena. The sunscreen contains a high SPF formula aimed at protecting the skin from harsh UV rays. Since the product is advertised as invisible, the campaign draws inspiration from Cena's iconic catchphrase, "You can't see me." But for Cena, the campaign is also personal. The wrestling champion opened up to USA TODAY on May 12 about his experience finding out he had skin cancer on two separate occasions. The first cancerous spot, which was removed and sent for testing, was discovered on his left pectoral muscle during a routine visit to the dermatologist. His second was noticed a year later on his left upper trapezius muscle, USA TODAY reported. Cena began integrating sunscreen into his daily routine, telling USA TODAY it was his way of showing 'gratitude' after his cancer scares. "My perspective on life has changed, but it took some real sobering news," told USA TODAY. "I don't want anybody to get there, so I'm just trying to use my platform to get ahead of that one." More: John Cena's cancer diagnosis was 'sobering.' Here's what he wished he knew sooner. John Cena is a 17-time World Wrestling Entertainment Champion, New York Times best-selling author and American actor. The wrestler-turned-actor, spent over two decades in the ring and has starred in movies like "F9," "Ricky Stanicky" and "Daddy's Home 2." Cena reportedly lives in a $4 million Florida mansion within the Land O' Lakes community, roughly a two-and-a-half hour drive from Daytona Beach, according to Google Maps. In 2012, he was an honorary starter of the 54th annual Daytona 500, and was an honorary pace car driver of the 58th Daytona 500 in 2016. The campaign also features dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Neera Nathan, raising awareness for skin cancer. 'Skincare is a more palatable and accepted term and subject matter amongst women,' Cena told USA TODAY. "Discussions between men can be more difficult to initiate. But it doesn't have to be that way, he argues. 'Men especially are becoming more conscious of self-care… I just think we need to make it more commonplace.' The month of May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. John Cena revealed that he was diagnosed with skin cancer twice. He had two spots, one on his chest and the other on his shoulder, that were found to be cancerous. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and in the world, says the Skin Cancer Foundation. The foundation highlights the following statistics: 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. More than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour. Having 5 or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma. When detected early, the 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 99 percent Skin cancer shows up on the skin in many ways. Sometimes, skin cancer, like basal cell carcinoma, can be mistaken for a pimple as most grow slowly. If you notice any changes on your skin, including a new growth or a change in an old mole, talk to your doctor. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion offers tips to lower skin cancer risks: Limit contact with UV radiation. Stay out of the sun as much as possible between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. Cover up with long sleeves, long pants or a long skirt, a hat, and sunglasses. Put on broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Don't use indoor tanning machines.
