Montana has become a hotspot for celebrities looking to escape the chaos of New York and Los Angeles.

Some A-listers, like Glenn Close and Michael Keaton, have lived in the idyllic state for decades, while others, including Paris Hilton, are newer to the area.

However, the influx of bougie new residents has also contributed to the cost of housing skyrocketing, leaving some locals less than impressed with the state’s growth.

Justin Timberlake and wife Jessica Biel are often seen around Bozeman, which is about an hour from the gated community in Big Sky where the Hollywood couple live with their two children.

‘They’re really down to earth and respectful. We see them taking their kids out or getting coffee around town quite a bit,’ one resident said.

‘They’re able to live pretty normal lives here and the locals don’t bother them. The only people who ever make a fuss are starstruck tourists.’

One celebrity that did cause a stir recently was Jason Momoa, who hit Belgrade for a meet-and-greet to promote his new vodka line.

Lines to meet the Aquaman hunk snaked around the block and many locals shared stories in the following days of snapping selfies with the star.

In addition to the low-key lifestyle Montana can provide for celebrities, some stars are also attracted to the opulence of the famed Yellowstone Club.

Located about an hour outside of Bozeman, the Yellowstone Club sprawls across 15,200 acres in Big Sky, and is known for its exclusivity, privacy and luxury amenities.

Members include Bill Gates, former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle, Tom Brady, Paris Hilton, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.

As of 2018, the initial membership fee was $400,000 on top of a $40,000 annual fee, although that price is believed to have risen since then.

Members must also buy a home in the club, which can range from about $4 million to $25 million and up.
