#SPOTTED: MAX IRONS, BETSY BRANDT, JT NEAL, JILL SCOTT, MARIN IRELAND + MORE IN TORONTO FILMING

Filming once again is picking-up again in Toronto and many names are surfacing around the City in recent weeks after a bit of a winter lull.

Front and center is Drama Life in a Year starring Jaden Smith and Cara Delevingne, about a 17-year-old boy whom after learning that his girlfriend has one year to live, gives her an entire lifetime’s worth of experiences. Filming in and around the downtown core, Smith recently chopped off his long locks with the help of his famous father Will. He also last weekend was spotted at Coachella sporting his cropped do.
