North Jersey has experienced its fair share of celebrities this year.<\/p>\n

The region always has a good amount of big names at MetLife Stadium and Prudential Center, but its increased popularity as a filming location has brought in even more stars.<\/p>\n

Actors were seen filming in North Jersey but also out and about at local restaurants or in some cases, playing basketball.<\/p>\n

Have you spotted any celebrities around locally? If not, take a look back at some of the sightings we covered so far in 2025!<\/p>\n

Sydney Sweeney in North Jersey<\/h2>\n

Sydney Sweeney spent some time in North Jersey earlier this year to film “The Housemaid.” The trailer for the movie just dropped as well.<\/p>\n

The crew took over a house in Madison<\/a> for filming and Sweeney was spotted at Fredy’s Table<\/a> in Morristown. Other filming locations included Ridgewood and Clifton.<\/p>\n

“The Housemaid,” also starring Amanda Seyfried and NJ’s Brandon Sklenar, will hit theaters Dec. 19.<\/p>\n

Adam Sandler in New Jersey<\/h2>\n

Sandler quickly became a New Jersey celebrity. “Happy Gilmore 2” filmed a lot in North Jersey and Sandler took the time to take photos with people along the way.<\/p>\n

Sandler also went viral<\/a> on TikTok while playing pickup basketball in Montclair.<\/p>\n

“Happy Gilmore 2” filming took place in Morris, Bergen, Essex, Somerset and Monmouth counties through November.<\/p>\n

Jonas Brothers in New Jersey<\/h2>\n

As North Jersey natives, the Jonas Brothers have a lot of reasons to be in the area. It was especially true in 2025 as they played MetLife and made the New Jersey Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s the quieter moments, though, that stand out. That was the case when the brothers stopped by Rita’s in Nutley<\/a>, and also when just Kevin took photos with people at Sparta Classic Diner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robert De Niro in New Jersey<\/h2>\n

Robert De Niro was in Paterson<\/a> in May to film “The Whisper Man.” He posed with Mayor Andre Sayegh while in town.<\/p>\n

‘Friday the 13th’ prequel in New Jersey<\/h2>\n

“Crystal Lake,” the prequel series to “Friday the 13th” filmed around New Jersey<\/a> over the summer. The film crew took over part of Hawthorne in August and an eagle-eyed fan spotted<\/a> Linda Cardellini during the shoot.<\/p>\n

Boonton, Roseland and Clifton were among the other local filming spots.<\/p>\n
