Sydneysiders<\/a> were left baffled (and starstruck) when Hollywood icon Jennifer Coolidge<\/a> made a surprise appearance in Bondi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Coolidge, 64, stood out as she wandered along the promenade and through the streets of the beachside suburb, and not just because of her famous face.<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t see this everyday!\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

The White Lotus<\/a> star looked glamorous in a floral dress and heels, accessorised with headphones on and a shopping trolley in hand to promote an Audible<\/a> collaboration.<\/p>\n

While it appears random, the brand is running a \u201clistening trolley\u201d pop-up experience at Harris Farm Bondi from July 31 to August 3 to encourage people to enjoy audiobooks while they shop.<\/p>\n

As part of the campaign, Coolidge appeared on Today<\/a> where she shocked Sylvia Jeffreys<\/a> with her outlandish answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell us what has brought you back to Sydney,\u201d Jeffreys began.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m pregnant with three little girls,\u201d she replied without missing a beat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to get a little beach time before I give birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the hilarious response left Jeffreys unsure of where to go, Coolidge then sang Australia\u2019s praises.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in love with Australia. I don\u2019t know anyone who\u2019s come to Australia and been like \u2018yeah, I didn\u2019t like it\u2019. I like everything about it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Then somehow, after a question about her favourite genre of audiobook, Coolidge found herself talking about her \u201cundergarments\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

Coolidge turned heads as she made her way through Bondi.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens is if I put on undergarments that are too tight, I literally get to the point where I can\u2019t remember my name or where I grew up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just without oxygen. What\u2019s happening here?\u201d<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the chat left Jeffreys in hysterics.<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

It was a very rogue interview.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

Coolidge has spent decades in the spotlight with beloved roles in American Pie<\/a>, Best in Show and Legally Blonde<\/a>, but found career resurgence thanks to\u00a0The White Lotus.<\/p>\n

She received critical acclaim for her role as Tanya McQuoid, which\u00a0saw her win the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydneysiders were left baffled (and starstruck) when Hollywood icon Jennifer Coolidge made a surprise appearance in Bondi on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":830610,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-830609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=830609"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/830609\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/830610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=830609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=830609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=830609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
