REGINA — Angela Hovland had a brush with celebrity recently and didn’t even realize it.
Hovland, an instructor at Regina’s Yoga Mala studio, didn’t notice anything unusual about her 4 p.m. class Sunday. It turns out that one of the students was actress Jessica Biel, who was in Regina to complete her scenes for the thriller The Tall Man.
“She came in with another girl and I probably wouldn’t have even noticed but one of the other girls who works here was helping her to pay and sign in,” explained Hovland. “She was the one who recognized her. She also knew that she was in town for a movie. She put two and two together and said, ‘That’s got to be her.’ After, she mentioned it to me, ‘I think that was Jessica Biel in your class.’
“Without makeup on and in yoga clothes, you don’t even think about that. I didn’t even know she was in Regina. They probably like that though, as they probably want to keep as much anonymity as they can, especially using fake names and paying in cash.”
Biel and her friend went out of their way to keep a low profile but their yoga experience gave them away.
“They said they were in town for a couple of days and would like to try yoga. They acted like they really didn’t know what they were doing but they definitely knew what they were doing,” said Hovland, who has been teaching at Yoga Mala since November. “They’re in great shape with very nice bodies, strong and muscular. They certainly looked like they’d done yoga a few times before.”
Biel apparently enjoyed her two classes on Sunday because she returned to the studio on Monday.
“She had lots of positive things to say about the class,” Hovland said. “She seemed to enjoy it.”
The Tall Man was shot in Nelson, B.C., with the principal filming completed in December. Biel is reportedly in Regina filming reshoots for the movie which is being produced by Mind’s Eye Entertainment, Cold Rock Productions, Forecast Pictures and Radar Films. Mind’s Eye Entertainment is based in Regina.
