Hollywood star Will Ferrell in Edinburgh as filming begins for new movie Eurovision

American actor and comedian Will Ferrell donned oilskins in Edinburgh yesterday to shoot scenes for his new movie Eurovision.

Co-star Rachel McAdams was also spotted on set as filming gets underway.

The pair play Icelandic singers Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir, who are given the chance to represent their country at the Eurovision Song Contest.

The 1972 Eurovision Song Contest was held in the city's Usher Hall and various locations across the capital are being used for the film, including the Old Town, New Town and Newhaven on the waterfront.

The Netflix movie is also expected to feature appearances by Pierce Brosnan, former Downton Abbey actor Dan Stevens and singer Demi Lovato in a star-studded cast.

The news comes hot off the back of another megastar, Vin Diesel, coming to the Scottish capital to film scenes for Fast And Furious 9.
