Cory Pendergast played the role of Jimmy Leach - who is the class clown, always trying to entertain everyone in the room. Aside from being the class clown, Jimmy is also Mr. Lombardo's star sailing pupil, which places him in a situation where he has to trade boat labor in order to get free lessons. During the movie, Sam gives Jimmy advice about how to become "a real boatman," which of course, Jimmy appreciates.
After his role as Jimmy Leach, Cory went on to have a pretty decent career for himself. He appeared briefly in "There's Something About Mary" (in which Matt Dillon also had a role), and then went on to star in the movie "18," together with co-stars Toi Svane Stepp (Nicole), Dee Wallace and Joyce DeWitt. For some reason, the film's negative (the original copy) had mysteriously disappeared, which is why the movie never got released. Today he does various commercials for Netflix, National Car Rental and Macy's.
Whether celebrities are looking to be in the spotlight or escape the paparazzi, there are some popular vacation destinations that always seem to be frequented by the stars. Celeb spotting is a favorite pastime of many travelers, and you might be able to snag a photo or even an autograph when you visit these top celebrity vacation spots around the world. Although the price tags may be a bit higher in these destinations than your average budget getaway, these are some of the best celebrity vacation spots that you can start saving up to visit and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones have a house here, and it’s been a favorite getaway for Gwenyth Paltrow. Some of the local favorites that boast the most celebrity sightings include the Wellies Restaurant and Bar, Puerto Portals, and Es Trenc Beach.
Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway. Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been a top vacation pick for Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, and some A-list accommodations are the InterContinental Hotel and the Park Hyatt in the Rocks.
