'Harry Potter' Stops At Jersey Shore To Film Part Of New Movie

SEASIDE PARK, NJ — "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe dropped into Seaside Park Thursday to film scenes for a spy film, with residents capturing glimpses of Radcliffe and sharing them on social media.

Radcliffe and co-star Jonathan Groff were filming scenes for "Trust The Man," set in the Vietnam War era, ShoreBeat reported.

Radcliffe is a lead intelligence officer investigating a decorated soldier's past, the report said. Filming is happening at multiple sites in New Jersey, including in Montclair earlier in July, NJ.com reported.

Groff is a Tony and Grammy award winner who played King George in "Hamilton" on Broadway in 2020 and was the voice of Kristoff in "Frozen."

Filming took place at the Charlroy Motel and nearby, Seaside Park Lt. Andrew Casole said.

Comments on Shelly Perry's post in the Seaside Heights, NJ Facebook group said the filming took place late Thursday night into the early hours on Friday, including scenes at the Sawmill and on the beach.

About 200 people waited in line hoping to get Radcliffe's autograph at the Sawmill, one commenter said.

Videos shared online by Tiffany Toth Zomparelli showed Radcliffe posing for photos Friday morning and shaking hands with fans.

"This was an experience," she wrote.

Seaside Park police posted a photo with Radcliffe after filming wrapped up Friday morning.
