She has stunned fans of the cult horror hit I Know What You Did Last Summer by returning for a surprise cameo in the highly-anticipated reboot.
And Sarah Michelle Gellar did a great job of keeping her involvement tightly under wraps when she joined her husband of 22 years, Freddie Prinze Jr., in Australia for filming last year.
While Sarah confirmed Freddie would reprise his role as Ray Bronson in the movie last year, her return was a huge secret.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Sarah said she never lied about her part in the flick, but rather chose her words wisely.
‘I never said I wasn’t going to be in the movie. All I ever said was I was dead,’ she said with a laugh.

Sarah said the couple loved Australia so much they wouldn’t discount putting down roots in Sydney
During their stay, Sarah and her family visited Taronga Zoo, Sea Life Aquarium and even did the Sydney Bridge climb
Freddie and Sarah starred in the cult film in 1997, when he was 21 years old and she was 20. They married five years later.
Her involvement in the latest instalment of the movie came as a surprise to fans as her popular character Helen Shivers was killed off.
As for her time Down Under to film the movie, Sarah said the couple lived like locals and she considers herself ‘a Sydney girl’.
‘Sydney to me is that wonderful mix,’ she said.
‘You have the laidback beach culture of LA, but you have the modern city and the culture of New York. So I’m definitely a Sydney girl.’
But when Freddie suggested they stay in the popular beachside suburb of Bondi, Sarah knew better.
‘No, no. Bondi is great to eat but it’s too crowded. You won’t love it. I know you,’ she said.
The Scooby-Doo star said she much preferred Bondi’s quieter neighbouring suburbs.
Sarah was recently in Sydney to film her cameo in the newly-released I Know What You Did Last Summer, a sequel to the eponymous 1997 film that starred Sarah as Helen Shivers
‘Double Bay or Rose Rose, I’m ready to go,’ she said, raving about the eastern suburbs’ stunning beaches and top-notch coffee spots.
The couple and their children arrived in Australia for filming in November last year.
During their stay, they visited Taronga Zoo, Sea Life Aquarium and even did the Sydney Bridge climb.
After spending weeks Down Under, she left with a suitcase filled with one iconic Aussie staple.
‘I am a Tim Tam girl,’ she admitted.
‘My suitcase was quite filled. I was very worried about customs!’
It was during her time in Sydney, the idea of an Uber One partnership was born.
Uber One is a membership that offers savings on Uber rides and UberEats, and perks, like savings at the cinema.
‘We were living in Rose Bay and we didn’t have a car, we literally Ubered everywhere and ordered Uber Eats constantly,’ Sarah explained.
‘So, when Uber One approached me for this campaign, they actually showed me how much I would’ve saved if I’d been an Uber One member during our stay. You’ll see in the ad… it was a lot.
In a promotional clip for Uber One, Sarah is reunited with the murderous fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer.
She shows what she could have saved last summer with Uber One – a somewhat frightening sum.
Uber One members can now watch Sarah in I Know What You Did Last Summer at Hoyts with pretty crazy perks, including $12.50 general admission tickets, $27.50 HOYTS LUX tickets and free popcorn refills.
