Pop singer Selena Gomez landed at the Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) on December 28th; she arrived with family members but without her current romantic interest Niall Horan of European boy band One Direction. Like Miss Lohan, Miss Gomez arrived at SJO but stayed in Guanacaste, specifically Playas del Coco. Hours before Miss Gomez arrived, British actor Jude Law landed at the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia (LIR). Mr. Law celebrated his birthday in Costa Rica. Another actor who landed at LIR was Norman Reedus, who plays the character of Daryl Dixon in the acclaimed television series The Walking Dead, which unfolds around a zombie apocalypse plot.

Another television star that spent part of her holidays in Costa Rica was Troian Bellisario, a young actress who is best known for her work in the ABC Family mystery series Pretty Little Liars.
 
Miss Bellisario spent Christmas in our country; she visited Jaco Beach, Playa Herradura and Puriscal along with her romantic partner Patrick J. Adams, a Canadian actor whose work includes the USA Network series Suits. Miss Bellisario is the daughter of Donald Bellisario and Deborah Pratt, whose production credits include television classics such as Quantum Leap and Magnum, P.I.
