The Daily Telegraph reports
Filming on the Aussie-based romantic drama The Grandmothers was momentarily halted this week when an uninvited visitor strolled into proceedings.
The cast, including Ben Mendelsohn, Naomi Watts and Robin Wright, watched on in bemusement as a black cat wandered on to the Sydney set before scampering away.
But not before animal loving Mendelsohn stopped the traffic to make sure the well-groomed moggie safely negotiated the inner city street.
It temporarily stopped the cameras rolling on the raunchy drama which has been shooting at Seal Rocks for the past three months under the guidance of French director Anne Fontaine, who is making her first foray into English-language filmmaking.
The movie's topic ruffled some feathers. The film, based on the book of the same name, has Watts' and Wright's characters falling in love with each other's sons.
The younger men are played by Australians Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville. Samuel is known from The Twilight Saga series and Frecheville shot to fame in Animal Kingdom.
