Celebrity-watchers will be on the lookout this week for several stars around Saint Elizabeth University, where the movie Dumb Money is filming.

The cast includes former Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood) and Rutgers alum Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The First Avenger, Pam & Tommy).

But the real scoop for paparazzi would be a sighting of Gisele Bündchen on the Morris Township campus.

The ink is barely dry on Bündchen’s divorce from football legend Tom Brady. But at least one online gambling site is wagering the Brazilian model and Davidson will become an item.

BetOnline has made Davidson the favorite as Bündchen’s next boyfriend, at odds of +1200, ahead of actors Jason Momoa and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Davidson is 28, Bündchin is 42– the same age as Davidson’s recent squeeze, Kim Kardashian, and younger than 49-year-old actress Kate Beckinsale, another past partner of The King of Staten Island star.

Ariane Grande and Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor, among others, also have been linked romantically to Davidson, who left SNL this year after eight seasons.

Shooting of Dumb Money at SEU is scheduled to conclude this Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022, according to Denise Panyik-Dale, a spokesperson for the school, formerly known as the College of Saint Elizabeth.

Based on Ben Mezrich’s book, The Antisocial Network, and directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya; Cruella), the comedy-drama will focus on how investors from a Reddit group shook Wall Street by boosting shares of GameStop stock last year.

Campus locations include Santa Maria Hall, where Aaron Sorkin filmed scenes for The Trial of the Chicago 7 in 2019; Mahoney Library; Rainis Auditorium; and the exterior of O’Connor residence hall, Panyik-Dale said. Filming started last Friday.

Greater Morristown is becoming a hub for filmmakers. Over the summer, scenes for Insidious 5, a horror movie, were shot at Morristown’s Convent Mews apartments and Drew University in Madison.

Film crews came to Morristown last year to shoot political pilot episodes, (Ways & Means, starring Patrick Dempsey), dramas (A Good Person, starring Morgan Freeman and Florence Pugh) and comedies (Cocoa, with a cameo by Sopranos star John Bianco).
