Hollywood star shares selfie with Aussie icon

Hollywood movie star Scott Eastwood has shared a selfie with one of Australia’s cutest animals on Rottnest Island just days after jetting into Perth.

Eastwood arrived in WA on Monday after he was picked up by Perth billionaire Laurence Escalante in a private jet from Byron Bay with movie producer Maurice Fadida.

The son of icon Clint Eastwood visited Rottnest, about 20km off the Perth coastline, and captured a selfie with a quokka sharing the photo to his Instagram page.

“Came, saw, …. did the Quokka,” he said.

The photo received lots of praise from Eastwood’s 5.2 million followers on Instagram with his page flooded with comments about the encounter.

One follower said, “That picture is totally awesome. Scott Eastwood did a great job.”

“I would make this my profile pic if I was on a dating app. Just sayin,” another person said.

“I want to see Quokkas so much! They’re such happy little souls. So jealous,” a person commented.

Rottnest quokka selfies have become synonymous with celebrity visits to Perth boosting tourist numbers in the West with it.

Chris Hemsworth’s quokka selfie on Rottnest Island was liked more than four million times.

K-pop star Lisa from Blackpink shared a quokka selfie on her Instagram page which received five million reactions in 12 hours.

Global super stars Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Roger Federer and Kelly Slater have all been whisked away to Rotto for a quokka selfie, driving visitor numbers to the island up by 30 per cent.
