More like, country, as in Brooklyn.
He and Michelle lived in Australia for the first 6 months of 2005, while he was filming "Candy" and she was pregnant with Matilda. At that point, their plan was to divide their time equally between the US and Australia. However, after the Australian premiere of Brokeback Mountain, when he was squirted with squirt guns, he immediately put his Australian home on the market and it sold in four days. He said at that time he had no intention of ever living or working in Australia again for an extended period of time--unless the paparrazzi situation changed significantly. In fact, I think I read somewhere that Heath was on the Baz Luhrman's short list for the lead in "Australia" and when he heard Heath say this, he crossed him off, knowing that the filming would be months-long (it ended up taking 9 months in all) in Australia.
The Australian premiere of BBM was January 10, 2006 in Melbourne. I think it premiered in other cities, too.

Guess you're right. Sounds like Sandra wasn't exactly the first celebrity he'd ever met. From Wikipedia:
--- Quote ---Jesse Gregory James (born April 19, 1969) in Lynwood, CA to Larry and Carol James is the youngest of two children. He is an American and CEO of West Coast Choppers, a manufacturer of custom-made motorcycles, and the host of Motorcycle Mania and the former series Monster Garage on the Discovery Channel. His roots from his father's side, great-great-grandfather was a cousin of Jesse James, the legendary American outlaw.
Biography
Jesse G. James was born in Lynwood, California and states he grew up in Long Beach, California, however he did not spend his entire childhood there. James parents divorced while he was still in grade school in South Gate, CA and he and sister Julie moved to Riverside with their father, Larry James and attended La Sierra High School, Riverside Community College. James has two children - a daughter, Chandler, and a son, Jesse James, Jr. - by his first wife, Karla. He also has a daughter, Sunny, by his second wife, Janine Lindemulder, an adult film star/producer, and a former Penthouse model, however he had no participation in her life until early 2007, Sunny was born January 2004. On July 16, 2005 James married actress Sandra Bullock; they met when Bullock arranged for her eight-year-old godson, who was a fan, to tour the set of Monster Garage. But not until they had to wait for James' to divorce to be final from his then pregnant wife Janine Lindemulder.
James' latest venture is the "Cisco Burger" restaurant, which opened on April 28, 2006, just down the street from West Coast Choppers. The '50s-style burger stand - named after his beloved pit bull - features Kobe beef burgers, low-fat burritos, organic veggies, and biodegradable wrappings. Other branches of the "West Coast Family" include the Chopperdogs fan club and Jesse's Girl clothing line. Pay Up Sucker Productions is a production company started in late 2006.

--- Quote from: ineedcrayons on February 02, 2008, 02:43:40 pm ---Sandra Bullock married a guy who, I think, sells or fixes motorcycles. If I remember the story correctly, she was with her nephew, who loves motorcycles, so they stopped into this shop to look around. The owner was smitten with Sandra and started calling and/or emailing her. She rejected him repeatedly, but he was so persistent that eventually she gave in and they have lived happily ever after ... so far.
What I thought when I read that story was, wow, what amazing chutzpah and confidence that guy has -- he not only asks a big movie star out in the first place, but then keeps on doing it even after being rejected! Who but a creepy stalker would do that? Yet eventually Sandra fell in love.
You probably need that much chutzpah and confidence to marry a celebrity if you're not one. Because not only would you have the scheduling conflicts that Del mentioned, not only would you have to see your loved one constantly hit on by other people, but you'd have to see your own photo splashed all over the tabs under the headline (or at least the implication) "Why would he go out with her???"
I can think of a number of celebrity/non-celebrity matches. But in most cases, the non-celebrity is either really rich and successful but just not famous, or works in the entertainment industry in some capacity (producer, agent, key grip, whatever).
