The actress and singer recalls her less-than-glamorous time filming in the Canadian city — and why she’s in no rush to go back.

Hilary Gets Candid

November 9, 2025: Actress and pop star Hilary Duff is known for her cheerful personality, but in a recent chat, she didn’t hold back about her “not-so-memorable” time in Vancouver. While she didn’t go into all the details, Duff hinted that her experience in the city — once considered a hotspot for TV and film production — wasn’t exactly what she hoped for.

A Tough Filming Period

Duff revealed that while filming a project there, she struggled with the long working hours, cold weather, and homesickness. “It just wasn’t my favorite time,” she admitted. “It was one of those shoots where everything felt a little off — the weather, the schedule, the vibe. Sometimes it just doesn’t click.”

React to Her Honesty

Her comments quickly sparked conversation online, especially among fans from Canada who both defended Vancouver and empathized with Duff’s experience. Many praised her for being open about the realities of filming away from home, noting that not every production experience is as glamorous as it looks.

Moving Forward with Positivity

Despite the bumpy memory, Duff emphasized that she still loves traveling and working in new locations. “You learn something from every experience — even the tough ones,” she said with a smile. With her comeback single “Mature” on the horizon, Duff’s energy now seems fully focused on her music and what’s next.
