American TV star Emmy Rossum has been spotted in Rotorua.
The American actress and singer-songwriter posted a photo of Rotorua's Fat Dog cafe yesterday as well as photos of her at Lake Tarawera on her Instagram account.
Fat Dog owner Simon Wright said he and his staff hadn't noticed ThePhantom of the Opera star come in.
"I don't know who she is, I wouldn't know who has been in or out, we have just been way too busy," he said.
Mr Wright said he thought it was "really cool" that she shared a photo of Fat Dog on her account.
The actress arrived in New Zealand on Christmas Eve, beginning her travels in the South Island.
When contacted by the Rotorua Daily Post Solitaire Lodge would not say whether or not she was staying there.
Rossum is most well known for her portrayal of Fiona Gallagher in the hit series Shameless.
She starred in the science-fiction film The Day After Tomorrow (2004) and received critical acclaim for her performance in the leading role of Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera in 2004.
She is travelling with her fiance, Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail.
