Spotted: Jessica Chastain at brunch, Martin Landau kissing hands, and Kate Mara at Holt’s
Last night marked the official opening of TIFF 2015, but today was when the magic really started to happen: the day celebrities start showing up around town in full force. Here are our favourite star sightings from Friday:
Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman made an appearance last night at his Entertainment District restaurant, Montecito, posing for an Instagram photo with a fan between courses.

When this post was first published, it included a tweet that we thought was a sighting of Jake Gyllenhaal at the newly opened John Street ice cream parlour Sweet Jesus. It wasn’t—the shop says that it was actually their manager, Jason. You can see the original tweet here: https://twitter.com/teriaki/status/642330320365293568 Our apologies for getting that one wrong; we’ve removed it from the article and updated the post above.
