ALITO, JR., OF NEW JERSEY, TO BE AN ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES ---------- MONDAY, JANUARY 9, 2006 U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, DC. The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 12 p.m., in room 216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Committee, presiding. Present: Senators Specter, Hatch, Grassley, Kyl, DeWine, Sessions, Graham, Cornyn, Brownback, Coburn, Leahy, Kennedy, Biden, Kohl, Feinstein, Feingold, Schumer, and Durbin. Chairman Specter. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. The Senate Judiciary Committee will now proceed to the confirmation hearing of Judge Samuel Alito, Jr. for the Supreme Court of the United States. A few matters of administration or housekeeping, and then we will proceed to the opening statements. Today we will hear first from Judge Alito--the introduction of his family. Judge, the floor is yours to introduce your family. Judge Altio. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Let me introduce my wife, Martha, who is here today; and my sister, Rosemary, who is a lawyer in New Jersey and a tough trial lawyer. I am glad that she took time from her schedule to come to the hearing today. My daughter, Laura, who is a senior at James Caldwell High School in West Caldwell, New Jersey; and if a father can be permitted to brag for a second, a really great swimmer who led her high school team to win the county championship last week. My son, Phillip, who is a second-year student at the University of Virginia. And when I had my confirmation hearing for the Court of Appeals, Phillip was 3 years old. And when I was called up to the chair, he took it upon himself to run up and sit next to me in case any hard questions came up. [Laughter.] Judge Altio. I don't know whether he is going to try the same thing tomorrow, but probably I could use the help. I am glad that my in-laws are able to be here today: my father-in-law, Gene Bomgardner, who is a retired Air Force NCO; and my mother-in-law, Barbara Bomgardner, who is a retired Air Force librarian. And my cousins Andrew and Aldomar Kiriev from Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania, are also here. My mother, who turned 91 a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately is not able to be here today, but I am sure she is watching at home. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Chairman Specter. Well, thank you, Judge Alito. You have a beautiful family, and we are delighted to have them with us on the confirmation proceedings. We will have 10-minute rounds of opening statements, each Senator 10 minutes. We will then turn to the presenters, those who will be presenting Judge Alito formally to the Committee. And then we will administer the oath to Judge Alito, and we will hear his testimony. We will begin tomorrow morning at 9:30 for the opening round of questions. Each Senator will have 30 minutes on the opening round, and we have a second round scheduled of 20 minutes for each Senator. And then we will see how we will proceed. Our practice is to adhere to the time limits, and we do that for a number of reasons. One of them is that Senators come and go, and if we maintain the schedule, which is known to everybody, they know when to return for their next round of questions. We will take 15-minute breaks at a convenient time, and, again, we will hold the breaks to 15 minutes. I have worked closely with Senator Leahy on scheduling matters and all other matters, and this is the model that we used for the confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts. It is our intention to conclude the hearings this week, and as Senator Leahy and I worked out, the arrangement is to have a markup on Tuesday, January the 17th, subject to something extraordinary happening. Now let me yield to the distinguished Ranking Member, Senator Leahy. Senator Leahy. Well, Mr. Chairman, I don't want to hold up your opening statement, or the others. I do appreciate people being here. As the hearing for Chief Justice John Roberts showed, there will be real questions asked. I would hope Senators on both sides of the aisle would do that. I think it is important. We are talking about a position representing 295 million Americans. On the schedule, I will work with the senior Senator from Pennsylvania, the Chairman. I understand one of our leaders once said that getting Senators to all move in order is like having bullfrogs in a wheelbarrow. But we will continue to work towards that, and I think the most important thing is we have a good, solid hearing this week. Mr. Chairman, you have been totally fair in your procedures for this, as always. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. ARLEN SPECTER, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA Chairman Specter. Thank you very much, Senator Leahy. And now we begin the opening statements. No Senator's vote, except for the declaration of war or the authorization for the use of force, is more important than the confirmation of a nominee to the Supreme Court for a lifetime appointment. Judge Alito comes to this proceeding with extensive experience as a Government lawyer, as a prosecutor, and as a judge. He has written some 361 opinions. He has voted in more than 4,800 cases. And it is possible to select a few of his cases to place him at any and every position on the judicial spectrum. By selecting the right cases, he could look like a flaming liberal or he could look like an arch- conservative. This hearing will give Judge Alito the full opportunity to address the concerns of 280 million Americans on probing questions which will be put to him by 18 Senators representing their diverse constituencies. I have reserved my own vote on this nomination until the hearing is concluded. I am committed as Chairman to a full, fair, and dignified hearing. Hearings for a Supreme Court nominee should not have a political tilt for either Republicans or Democrats. They should be in substance and in perception for all Americans. There is no firmly established rule as to how much a nominee must say to be confirmed. While I personally consider it inappropriate to ask the nominee how he would vote on a specific matter likely to come before the Court, Senators may ask whatever they choose, and the nominee is similarly free to respond as he chooses. It has been my experience that the hearings are really, in effect, a subtle minuet, with the nominee answering as many questions as he thinks necessary in order to be confirmed. Last year, when President Bush had two vacancies to fill, there was concern expressed that there might be an ideological change in the Court. The preliminary indications from Chief Justice Roberts's performance on the Court and his Judiciary Committee testimony on modesty, stability, and not jolting the system all suggest that he will not move the Court in a different direction. If that holds true, Judge Alito, if confirmed, may not be the swing vote regardless of what position Judge Alito takes on the political spectrum. Perhaps the dominant issue in these hearings is the widespread concern about Judge Alito's position on a woman's right to choose. This has arisen in part because of a 1985 statement made by Judge Alito that the Constitution does not provide for the right to an abortion. It has arisen in part because of his advocacy in the Solicitor General's office seeking to limit or overrule Roe and from the dissenting portion of his opinion in Casey v. Planned Parenthood in the Third Circuit. This hearing will give Judge Alito the public forum to address the issue as he has with Senators in private meetings, that his personal views and prior advocacy will not determine his judicial decisions, but instead he will weigh factors such as stare decisis, that is, what are the precedents; that he will weigh women's and men's reliance on Roe and he will consider too whether Roe is ``embedded in the culture of our Nation.'' The history of the Court is full of surprises on the issue. The major case upholding Roe was Casey v. Planned Parenthood, where the landmark opinion was written jointly by three Justices, Justice O'Connor, Justice Kennedy and Justice Souter. Before coming to the Court, Justice Souter, Justice Kennedy and Justice O'Connor, had all expressed views against a woman's right to choose. David Souter, as Attorney General of New Hampshire, even opposed changing New Hampshire's law prohibiting abortion even after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared it unconstitutional. At the time of Justice Souter's confirmation hearing, there was a stop Souter rally of the National Organization for Women a few blocks from where we currently are holding this hearing, displaying in red a banner ``Stop Souter or Women Will Die,'' ``Stop Souter Rally, a Mass Lobbying Day,'' somewhat similar to this morning's press where banners are paraded in front of the Supreme Court ``Save Roe'' and a brochure circulated again by NOW, ``Save Women's Lives, Vote No on Alito.'' The history of this issue has been one full of surprises. This hearing comes at a time of great national concern about the balance between civil rights and the President's national security authority. The President's constitutional powers as commander in chief to conduct electronic surveillance appear to conflict with what Congress has said in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This conflict involves very major considerations raised by Justice Jackson's historic concurrence in the Youngstown Steel seizure cases, where Justice Jackson wrote, ``When the President acts pursuant to an express or implied authorization of Congress, his authority is at its maximum, for it includes all that he possesses in his own right, and all that Congress can delegate. When the President acts in absence of a congressional grant of authority, he can rely only upon his own independent powers. When the President takes measures incompatible with the express or implied will of Congress, his power is at its lowest ebb.'' And as Justice Jackson noted, ``What is at stake is the equilibrium established in our constitutional system.'' Another major area of concern is congressional power, and in recent decisions the Supreme Court of the United States has declared Acts of Congress unconstitutional, really denigrating the role of Congress. In declaring unconstitutional legislation designed to protect women against violence, the Supreme Court did so notwithstanding a voluminous record in support of that legislation, but because of Congress's ``method of reasoning,'' rather insulting to suggest that there is some superior method of reasoning in the Court. When the Supreme Court handled two cases recently on the Americans with Disabilities Act, they upheld the Act as it applied to discrimination as to access, and declared it unconstitutional as it applied to discrimination in employment. They did so by applying a test of what is called ``congruent and proportionate,'' which candidly stated, no one can figure out. In dissent, Justice Scalia called it a flabby test, where the Court set itself up as the taskmaster to see if Congress had done its homework, and Justice Scalia said that it was an invitation to judicial arbitrariness by policy driven decisionmaking, and this hearing, I know, will involve consideration as to Judge Alito's views on congressional power. There is reason to believe that our Senate confirmation hearings may be having an effect on Supreme Court nominees on their later judicial duties. Years after their hearings, Supreme Court Justices talk to me about our dialogs at these hearings. This process has now evolved to a point where nominees meet most of the Senators. In this process, nominees get an earful. While no promises are extracted, statements are made by nominees which may well influence their judicial decisions. Chief Justice Roberts, for example, will have a tough time giving a jolt to the system after preaching modesty and stability. There is, I think, a heavy sense of drama as these hearings begin. This is the quintessential example of separation of powers under our constitutional process, as the President nominates, the Senate confirms or rejects, and the successful nominee ascends to the bench. While it may be a bit presumptuous, I believe the Framers, if they were here, would be proud and pleased to see how well their Constitution is being applied. My red light just went on, and I now yield to my distinguished colleague, Senator Leahy. STATEMENT OF HON. PATRICK J. LEAHY, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF VERMONT Senator Leahy. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon, Judge and Mrs. Alito, and the others. Following up on what the Chairman was saying, the challenge for Judge Alito in the course of these hearings is to demonstrate that he is going to protect the rights and liberties of all Americans, and in doing that, serve as an effective check on Government overreaching. I have said that the President did not help his cause by withdrawing his earlier nomination of Harriet Miers in the face of criticism from a narrow faction of his own party who were concerned about how she might vote. Supreme Court nominations should not be conducted through a series of winks and nods designed to reassure a small faction of our population, while leaving the American people in the dark. And no President, I think we would all agree, should be allowed to pack the courts, and especially the Supreme Court, with nominees selected to enshrine Presidential claims of Government power. The checks and balances that should be provided by the courts, Congress and the Constitution are too important to be sacrificed to a narrow partisan agenda. This hearing is the opportunity for the American people to learn what Samuel Alito thinks about their fundamental constitutional rights and whether he--you, Judge--will protect their liberty, their privacy and their autonomy from Government intrusion. The Supreme Court belongs to all Americans, not just to the person occupying the White House, and not just to a narrow faction of either political party, because the Supreme Court is our ultimate check and balance. Independence of the Court and its members is crucial to our democracy and our way of life, and the Senate should never be allowed to be a rubber stamp. Neither should the Supreme Court. So I will ask the Judge to demonstrate his independence from the interests of the President nominating him. This is a nomination to a lifetime seat on the Nation's highest Court. It is a seat that has often represented the decisive vote on constitutional issues, so we have to make an informed decision. That means knowing more about Samuel Alito's work in the Government and knowing more about his views. I will, as the Judge knows, ask about the disturbing application he wrote to become a political appointee in the Meese Justice Department. In that application he professed concern with the fundamental principle of ``one person, one vote,'' a principle of the equality that is the bedrock of our laws. This hearing is the only opportunity that the American people and their representatives have to consider the suitability of the nominee to serve as a final arbiter on the meaning of the Constitution and its laws. Has he demonstrated commitment to the fundamental rights of all Americans? Would he allow the Government to intrude on Americans' personal privacy and freedoms? In a time when this administration seems intent on accumulating unchecked power, Judge Alito's views on Executive power are especially important. It is important to know whether he would serve with judicial independence or as a surrogate for the President nominating him. So this public conversation, this hearing over the next few days is extremely important. It is the people's Constitution and the people's right that we are all charged with protecting and preserving. In this hearing we embark on the constitutional process, one that was designed to protect these rights and has served this country so very well for more than two centuries. I am reminded of a photograph, Mr. Chairman, that hangs in the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It shows the first women ever to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States taking the oath of office in 1981. How Justice Sandra Day O'Connor serves is as a model Supreme Court Justice, widely recognized as a jurist with practical values and a sense of the consequences of the legal decisions being made by the Supreme Court. I regret that some on the extreme right have been so critical of Justice O'Connor, and that they adamantly oppose the naming of a successor who shares her judicial philosophy and qualities. Their criticism actually reflects poorly upon them. It does nothing to tarnish the record of the first woman to serve as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. She is a Justice whose graciousness and sense of duty fuels her continued service, even agreeing to serve more than 6 months after her retirement date, and I know both you and I commend her for that. The Court that serves America should reflect America. This nomination was an opportunity, of course, for the President to make a nomination based on diversity. He did not, even though there is no dearth of highly qualified Hispanics and African- Americans, other individuals who could well have served as unifying nominees while adding to diversity. But that, of course, is the President's choice, Judge, not yours. But I look forward to a time when the membership of the Supreme Court is more reflective of the country it serves. As the Senate begins its consideration of President Bush's nominee, his third to this seat, to Justice O'Connor's seat, we do so mindful of her critical role in the Supreme Court. Her legacy is one of fairness, and when I decide how to vote it is because I want to see that legacy preserved. Justice O'Connor has been a guardian of the protections the Constitution provides the American people. She has come to provide balance and a check on Government intrusion into our personal privacy and freedoms. In the Hamdi decision she rejected the Bush administration's claim that they could indefinitely detain a United States citizen. She upheld the fundamental principle of judicial review over the exercise of Government power, and she wrote--and this is one we should all remember--she wrote that even war is not a blank check for the President when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens. She held that even this President is not above the law, and of course, no President, Democratic or Republican, no President is above the law, as neither are you, nor I, nor anyone in this room. Her judgment has also been critical in protecting our environmental rights. She joined in 5-4 majorities affirming reproductive freedom, and religious freedom, and the Voting Rights Act. I mention each of these cases because they show how important a single Supreme Court Justice is, and it is crucial that we determine what kind of Justice Samuel Alito would be if confirmed. Of course, Judge, my question will be, will you be an independent jurist? It is as the elected representatives of the American people, all of the people, nearly 300 million people, that we in the Senate are charged with the responsibility to examine whether to entrust their precious rights and liberties to this nominee. The Constitution is their document. It guarantees their rights from the heavy hand of Government intrusion, and individual liberties, to freedom of speech, to religion, to equal treatment, to due process and to privacy. Actually, this hearing, this is their process. The Federal Judiciary is unlike the other branches of Government. Once confirmed, a Federal Judge serves for life, and there is no court above the Supreme Court. The American people deserve a Supreme Court Justice who can demonstrate that he or she will not be beholden to the President, but only to the law. Last October, the President succumbed to partisan pressure from the extreme right of his party by withdrawing Harriet Miers. By withdrawing her nomination and substituting this one, the President has allowed his choice to be vetoed by an extreme faction within his party before even a hearing or a vote. Frankly, that was an eye-opening experience to me. It gives the impression there are those who do not want an independent Federal Judiciary. They demand judges who will guarantee the results that they want, and that is why the questions will be asked so specifically of you, Judge. The nomination is being considered against the backdrop of another recent revelation, that the President has, outside the law, been conducting secret and warrantless spying on Americans for more than 4 years. This is a time when the protections of America's liberties are directly at risk, as are the checks and balances that serve to constrain abuses of power for more than 200 years. The Supreme Court is relied upon by all of us to protect our fundamental rights. I have not decided how I will vote in this nomination, and like the Chairman, I will base my determination on the whole record at the conclusion of these hearings, just as I did in connection with the nomination of John Roberts to be Chief Justice. At the conclusion of those hearings I determined to vote for him. The stakes for the American people could not be higher. At this critical moment, Senate Democrats serving on this Committee will perform our constitutional advice and consent responsibility with heightened vigilance. I would urge all Senators, Republicans and Democrats and Independents, to join with us in serious consideration. The appointment of the next Supreme Court Justice must be made in the people's interest and in the Nation's interest, not in the interest of any partisan faction. Mr. Chairman, Thank you very much. Chairman Specter. Thank you very much, Senator Leahy. Senator Hatch. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. ORRIN G. HATCH, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF UTAH Senator Hatch. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I welcome you, Judge Alito, your family members, friends and others who are accompanying you. This hearing is part of an ongoing evaluation of Judge Samuel Alito's nomination to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is remarkable that after a nearly record-long period without a Supreme Court vacancy, we are here considering a second nominee in less than 6 months. Mr. Chairman, let me first commend you for firmly and fairly handling these hearings. The timetable we are following reflects your efforts to accommodate all sides, and the 70 days since President Bush announced the nomination significantly exceeds the average for other Supreme Court nominees. The debate over this and other judicial nominations is a debate over the judiciary itself. It is a debate over how much power unelected judges should have in our system of government, how much control judges should have over a written Constitution that belongs to the people. Ending up in the right place in this debate requires starting in the right place. The right place to start is the proper description of what judges are supposed to do, and the rest of the process should reflect this judicial job description. The process for evaluating Judge Alito's nomination began when President Bush announced it more than 2 months ago. It continued with Judge Alito's meetings with more than two-thirds of the Senators and a vigorous debate in the media among analysts, scholars, and activists. As the Senate completes the evaluation process, we must keep some very important principles in mind and follow a few basic rules. The first principle is that in this judicial selection process, the Senate and the President have different roles. Under the Constitution, the President, not the Senate, nominates and appoints judges. The Senate has a different role. We must give our advice about whether President Bush should actually appoint Judge Alito by giving or withholding our consent. Abiding by the Constitution's design and our own historical tradition requires that after Judge Alito's nomination reaches the Senate floor, we vigorously debate it and then vote up or down. The second principle is that in our system of Government the judicial and legislative branches have different roles. As Chief Justice Roberts described it when he was before this Committee last fall, ``Judges are not politicians. Judges must decide cases, not champion causes. Judges must settle legal disputes, not pursue agendas. Judges must interpret and apply the law, not make the law.'' This principle that judges are not politicians lies at the very heart of the judicial job description. In addition to these two principles, a few basic rules should guide how we complete this confirmation process. First, we must remember that judicial nominees are constrained in what they may discuss and how they may discuss it. Like Chief Justice Roberts and others before him, Judge Alito is already a Federal judge. He not only will be bound by the canons of judicial ethics as a Supreme Court Justice, he is already bound by these canons as an appeals court judge. Because judges may not issue advisory opinions, judicial nominees may not do so either, especially on issues likely to come before the Court. That rule has always been honored. Needless to say, those who will demand such advisory opinions in this hearing will do so precisely on those issues that are likely to come before the Court. They have a right to ask those questions. But as the Washington Post editorialized just this morning, however, ``he will not--and should not--tell Americans how he will vote on hotly contested issues.'' When Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg was before us in 1993, she said that her standard was to give no hints, no forecasts, no previews, and declined to answer dozens of questions. The second rule we should follow is to consider each part of Judge Alito's record on its own terms for what each part actually is. He wrote memos when he worked for the Justice Department. He has written judicial opinions while on the appeals court. He wrote answers to the questionnaire from this Committee in 1990 and again last year. He has written articles and given speeches. He has joined certain groups, and each of these is different. Each of these must be considered in its own context, on its own terms, rather than squeezed, twisted, and distorted into something designed instead to support a preconceived position or serve a preplanned agenda. The third rule we should follow is considering Judge Alito's entire record. Some interest groups focus on--some would say they obsess about--one recusal question, or they cherrypick from the thousands of cases in which Judge Alito participated and the hundreds of opinions he authored or joined. Or they look at the results that ignore the facts and the law in those cases. Judge Alito comes to us with a record that is long, broad, and deep. He deserves, and our constitutional duty requires, that we consider his entire record. Finally, and perhaps most important, we must apply a judicial rather than a political standard to the information before us, and we do have a lot of information. The record includes more than 360 opinions of all kinds--majority, concurring, and dissenting--written during his judicial tenure. We have more than 36,000 pages of additional material, including unpublished opinions, legal briefs, articles, speeches, and Department of Justice documents relating to his service in the Office of Legal Counsel and in the Solicitor General's office. We must apply a judicial, not a political, standard to this record. Asking a judicial nominee whose side you will be on in future cases is a political standard. Evaluating Judge Alito's record by asking those whose side he has been on in past cases is, again, a political standard. Scorecards are common in the political process, but they are inappropriate in the judicial process. The most important tools in the judicial confirmation process are not litmus paper and a calculator. Applying a proper judicial standard to Judge Alito's record means putting aside the scorecards and looking at how he does what judges are supposed to do, namely, settle legal disputes by applying already established law. A judicial standard means that a judicial decision can be entirely correct even when the result does not line up with our preferred political positions or cater to certain political interests. When he was here last fall, Chief Justice Roberts compared judges to umpires who apply rules they did not write and cannot change to the competition before them. We do not evaluate an umpire's performance based on which team won the game, but on how that umpire applied the rules inning after inning. We do not hire umpires by showing them the roster for the upcoming season and demanding to know which teams they will favor before those teams even take the field. Similarly, we should evaluate judges and judicial nominees based on the general process for applying the law to any legal disputes, not on the specific result in a particular case or dispute. The fact that Judge Alito is such a baseball fan gives me even more confidence that he knows the proper role of a judge. I know that there is a pitched battle going on outside the Senate, with dueling press conferences, television ads, e-mail, petition drives, and stacks of reports and press releases. The Senate can rise above that battle if we remember the proper role for the Senate and the proper role for judges. We can rise above that battle if we respect that judicial nominees are limited in what they may discuss. Take each part of Judge Alito's record on its own terms. Consider Judge Alito's entire record and apply a judicial rather than a political standard. Judge Alito, I know you. I have known you for a long time. You are a good man. You are an exceptional judge as well. I welcome you and your family to this Committee, and I hope that the days ahead will reflect more light than heat. We congratulate you that you are willing to go through this grueling process to represent your country on one of the three separated powers. It means so much to all of us, and I am grateful to personally know you as well as I do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Chairman Specter. Thank you very much, Senator Hatch. Senator Kennedy? STATEMENT OF HON. EDWARD M. KENNEDY, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS Senator Kennedy. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Judge Alito, I join in welcoming you and your family to this Committee. I appreciated the opportunity to visit with you in my office a few weeks ago, and I was particularly impressed by your personal family story of how you were encouraged to do well and contribute to your community. And I also applaud your dedication to public service throughout your lifetime. Supreme Court nominations are an occasion to pause and reflect on the values that make our Nation strong, just, and fair. And we must determine whether a nominee has a demonstrated commitment to those basic values. Will a nominee embrace and uphold the essential meaning of the four words inscribed above the entrance of the Supreme Court Building, ``Equal justice under law.'' Justice Louis Powell spoke for all of us when he said, ``Equal justice under law is perhaps the most inspiring idea of our society. It is one of the ends for which our entire legal system exists.'' As we have seen from Justice O'Connor's example, even one Justice can profoundly alter the meaning of those words for our citizens. Even one Justice can deeply affect the rights and liberties of the American people. Even one Justice can advance or reverse the progress of our journey. So the question before us in these hearings is this: does Judge Alito's record hold true to the letter and the spirit of equal justice? Is he committed to the core values of our Constitution that are at the heart of our Nation's progress, and can he truly be evenhanded and fair in his decisions? In a way Judge Alito has faced this issue before as a nominee to the Court of Appeals. I had the privilege of chairing his confirmation hearing in 1990, and at that time he had practiced law for 14 years, but only represented one client, the U.S. Government. I asked whether he believed he could be impartial in deciding cases involving the Government, and in that hearing Judge Alito said on the record that the most important quality for a judge is open-mindedness to the arguments, and he promised the Committee that he would make a very conscious effort to be absolutely impartial. We took him at his word and overwhelmingly confirmed him to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. We now have the record of Judge Alito's 15 years on the bench, and the benefit of some of his earlier writings that were not available 15 years ago, and I regret to say that the record troubles me deeply. In a era where the White House is abusing power, is excusing and authorizing torture and is spying on American citizens, I find Judge Alito's support for an all-powerful executive branch to be genuinely troubling. Under the President's spying program there are no checks and balances. There is no outside review of the legality of this brazen infringement on the civil rights and liberties of the American people. Undeterred by the public outcry, the President vows to continue spying on American citizens. Ultimately the courts will make the final judgment whether the White House has gone too far. Independent and impartial judges must assess the proper balance between protecting our liberties and protecting our national security. I am gravely concerned by Judge Alito's clear record of support for vast Presidential authority unchecked by the other two branches of Government. In decision after decision on the bench, he has excused abusive actions by the authorities that intrude on the personal privacy and freedoms of average Americans, and in his writings and speeches he has supported a level of overreaching Presidential power that, frankly, most Americans find disturbing and even frightening. In fact, it is extraordinary that each of the three individuals this President has nominated for the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts, Harriet Miers and now Judge Alito, has served not only as a lawyer for the executive branch, but as a defendant of the most expansive view of Presidential authority. Perhaps that is why this President nominated them. But as Justice O'Connor stated, even a state of war is not a blank check for a President to do whatever he wants. The Supreme Court must serve as an independent check on abuses by the executive branch and a protector of our liberties, not a cheerleader for an imperial presidency. There are other areas of concern. In an era when too many Americans are losing their jobs or working for less, trying to make ends meet, in close cases Judge Alito has ruled the vast majority of the time against the claims of the individual citizens. He has acted instead in favor of Government, large corporations and other powerful interests. In a study by the well-respected expert, Professor Cass Sunstein of the University of Chicago Law School, Judge Alito was found to rule against the individual in 84 percent of his dissents. To put it plainly, average Americans have had a hard time getting a fair shake in his courtroom. In an era when America is still too divided by race and riches, Judge Alito has not written one single opinion on the merits in favor of a person of color alleging race discrimination on the job; in 15 years on the bench, not one. When I look at that record in light of the 1985 job application to the Reagan Justice Department, it is even more troubling. That document lays out an ideological agenda that highlights his pride in belonging to an alumni group at Princeton that opposed the admission of women and proposed to curb the admission of racial minorities. It proclaims his legal opinion that the Constitution does not protect the right of women to make their own reproductive decisions. It expresses outright hostility to the basic principle of one person, one vote, affirmed by the Supreme Court as essential to ensuring that all Americans have a voice in their Government. This application was not a youthful indiscretion. It was a document prepared by a mature, 35-year-old professional. Finally, many of us are concerned about conflicting statements that Judge Alito has made in response to questions from this Committee and others. As Chairman Specter has stated, this confirmation largely depends on the credibility of Judge Alito's statements to us, and we have questions. When asked about the ideological statements and specific legal opinions in his 1985 application, Judge Alito has dismissed those statements as just applying for a job. When he was before this Committee in 1990 applying for a job to the circuit, he promised under oath that he would recuse himself from cases involving Vanguard, the mutual fund company in which he had most of his investments. But as a judge he participated in a Vanguard case anyway, and has offered many conflicting reasons to explain why he broke his word. We need to get to the bottom of this matter to assure ourselves that what Judge Alito says in these hearings will not be just words, but pledges that guide him in the future if he is confirmed. Judges are appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and it is our duty to ask questions on great issues that matter to the American people and to speak for them. Many Republican Senators certainly demanded answers from Harriet Miers. We should expect no less from Judge Alito. There is not time for a double standard. If confirmed, Judge Alito could serve on the Court for a generation or more, and the decisions he will make as Justice will have a direct impact on the lives and liberties of our children, our grandchildren and even our great-grandchildren. We have only one chance to get it right, and a solemn obligation to do so. Judge Alito, I have serious questions to ask. I congratulate you on your nomination, and I look forward to your answers in these hearings. Chairman Specter. Thank you, Senator Kennedy. Senator Grassley. STATEMENT OF HON. CHARLES E. GRASSLEY, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF IOWA Senator Grassley. I have a much more positive view of Judge Alito. [Laughter.] Senator Grassley. I think the record will sustain my view. But first, Judge Alito, I welcome you and your proud family to the Committee, and congratulations on your nomination. I first want to remind all Americans who might be listening that the Senate has a very important responsibility to confirm only well-qualified individuals who will faithfully interpret the law and the Constitution. Confirmation should be limited to those individuals who will be fair, unbiased, devoted to addressing the facts in the law before them without imposing their own values and political beliefs when deciding cases. Nominees should not be expected to precommit to ruling on certain issues in a certain way, nor should Senators ask nominees to pledge to rule on cases in a particular way. If we fulfill our responsibility to the Constitution, the Supreme Court will be filled with superior legal minds who will pursue the one agenda that our Founding Fathers intended in writing the Constitution, justice rather than political or personal goals. The Supreme Court will then consists of individuals who meticulously apply the law and the Constitution regardless of whether the results they reach are popular or not. If we do our job right, the Supreme Court will not be made up of men and women who are on the side of the little guy or the big guy, rather the Supreme Court will be made up of men and women who are on the side of the law and the Constitution. From all accounts, Judge Alito has an impressive and extensive legal and judicial record, certainly one worthy of someone on the Supreme Court. Judge Alito excelled at top-notch schools, member of law review, clerked for a Federal judge. He also held important positions at the Department of Justice, Office of Legal Counsel, the Solicitor General's Office and was U.S. Attorney for New Jersey before being appointed to the Third Circuit. I want to remind the American people this nominee, Judge Alito, has been confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate, not once, but twice. This is a tremendous record of accomplishment in public service equal to any Supreme Court nominee that I have considered in the 25 years I have been on this Committee. Not only that, Judge Alito has a reputation for being an exceptional and honest judge devoted to the rule of law, as well as being a man of integrity. Judge Alito enjoys the support and respect of people who work with him, practice with him, and therefore, know him best. Example, 54 of Judge Alito's law clerks, Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike, signed a letter to the Committee that stated, ``We collectively were involved in thousands of cases and it never once appeared to us that Judge Alito has prejudged a case or ruled based on political ideology.'' Continuing to quote, ``It is our uniform experience that Judge Alito was guided by his profound respect for the Constitution and the limited role of the judicial branch.'' Those 54 opinions say a lot about Judge Alito and his approach to judicial function. Like Chief Justice Roberts, it appears that Judge Alito tries to act like an umpire, calling the balls and strikes, rather than advocating a particular outcome. I am also impressed with the very complimentary things that some lawyers have had to say about Judge Alito in the Lawyers Evaluation Section of the Almanac of Federal Judiciary. With respect to his legal ability, lawyers praised him, saying that Judge Alito was ``exceptional,'' ``a brilliant jurist.'' Another lawyer stated that, ``to say that he is outstanding is to use understatement. He's the best judge on the circuit, maybe in the country.'' With respect to his demeanor and temperament, lawyers found Judge Alito to be measured and judicial while on the bench. One lawyer commented that he is demanding, but always courteous. He may occasionally, quoting, ``demonstrate a little bit of impatience with lawyers that aren't quite getting it. This can be directed at either side. It's just a sign that his mind is working more efficiently than yours. He's never discourteous, never abusive.'' Another lawyer said, ``He is pleasant and courteous.'' Others commented about the impression that Judge Alito is a conservative judge, but certainly not out to impose his own personal agenda while on the bench. One lawyer commented that he ``is a conservative, but reaches honest decisions,'' while another said, ``By reputation he's known to be one of the more conservative judges on the court, but he is forthright and fair. He tries to decide cases in front of him in the right way.'' The American Bar Association came out just last week with an evaluation of Judge Alito to be a Justice, and they considered things like integrity, judgment, compassion, open- mindedness and freedom from bias and commitment to equal justice under the law. The ABA once again found Judge Alito to be unanimously well qualified. This recommendation should have much weight for my colleagues on the other side, who have time and time again described the rating of the ABA as, quote, ``gold standard.'' Yet, some liberal interest groups have come out in full force and have attempted to paint Judge Alito to be an extremist and to be an activist. They have criticized a nominee who has, from what I see described by these lawyers and fellow judges, a reputation of being a restrained jurist committed to the rule of law and the Constitution, but that is what these outside-the-mainstream groups always do. They attack individuals who they believe will not implement their agenda before the Supreme Court, so Judge Alito should see criticism as a badge of honor worn by many past and present members of the Court. Yet, I am glad to see the public fully participate in this process because this is the nature of our system of Government, but I do not like to see facts twisted, untruths fabricated to give the nominee a black eye even before he comes before our Committee. So, Judge Alito, now you have that opportunity to set everyone straight on your record and your approach to deciding cases. These hearings are also an opportunity, a very good opportunity to remind the public about the proper role of a judge in our system of checks and balances limited Government. Judges are required by our democratic system not to overstep their positions to become policymakers or super legislators. Supreme Court nominees should know, without any doubt, that their job is not to impose their own personal opinions of what is right and wrong, but to say what the law is, rather than what they personally think the law ought to be. Supreme Court nominees should know that this exercise of judicial restraint is a key ingredient of being a good judge, as the Constitution constrains judges every bit as it constrains we legislators, executives and citizens in their actions. Moreover, Supreme Court nominees should be individuals who not only understand but truly respect the equal roles and responsibilities of different branches of Government and our State Governments. As Alexander Hamilton said in Federalist No. 78, ``The courts must decide the sense of the law, and if they should be disposed to exercise will instead of judgment, the consequences would be the substitution of their pleasure to that of the legislative body.'' Our Framers expected the judicial branch to be the least dangerous branch of Government. At our meeting in my office in November, I heard Judge Alito place emphasis on the limited role of the courts in our democratic society. He also reiterated this belief in a questionnaire he submitted to this Committee. So I have some idea of how Judge Alito approaches the law and views the role of a judge. I am hopeful that his commitment to judicial restraint and to confining decisions to the law and the Constitution will shine through in this hearing, and I believe it will, and I am hopeful that my colleagues will give Judge Alito a civil, a fair and a dignified process, as well as an up or down vote, because as always, the Constitution sets the standard: the President nominates, the Senate deliberates, and then we are obligated to give our advice and consent in an up or down vote. Judge Alito, I congratulate you. Chairman Specter. Thank you very much, Senator Grassley. Senator Biden. STATEMENT OF HON. JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR., A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE Senator Biden. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Judge, welcome. Mrs. Alito and your family, welcome. It is an incredible honor to be nominated by a President of the United States to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and you are to be congratulated. Judge, this may be one of the most significant, consequential nominations that the Senate will vote on since I have been here in the last three decades. I think history has delivered you, fortunately or unfortunately, to a moment where Supreme Court historians far into the future are going to look back on this nomination and make a judgment whether or not with your nomination, and if you are confirmed, whether the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court begin to change from the consensus that existed the last 70 years, or whether it continued on the same path it has over the past six or seven decades, and that moment is right now. Lest we think it is kind of like we all go through this process--and I like the phrase ``minuet'' that the Chairman used--we all act like there is not an elephant in the room. The truth of the matter is, there is significant debate among judicial scholars today as to whether or not we have gone off on the wrong path with regard to Supreme Court decisions. There is a very significant dispute that has existed in 5-4 decisions over the past two decades in a Court that is very closely divided on the critical, central issues of the day. Just to make it clear, I am puzzled by some of the things you have said, and I am sure you are going to get a chance to tell me what you meant by some of the things you wrote and said, but when in your job application you talked about being proud, as you should be, to be proud of your subscription to and adhering to notions put forward in the National Review that you are a proud member of the Federalist Society, the National Conservative Political Action Committee, the American Spectator is something you look to, et cetera. These are all really very bright folks. They all have a very decided opinion on the issues of the day--very decided. And those very organizations I have named think, for example, we misread the Fifth Amendment and have been misreading it for the past three decades. Those same groups argue that, in fact, there is no right of privacy in the Constitution, et cetera. So people are not making this up. In a sense, it is not about you. You find yourself in the middle of one of the most significant national debates in modern constitutional history because you have been nominated to replace a woman, in addition, who has been the deciding vote on a significant number of these cases. Since 1995 there have been 193 5-4 decisions, and Justice O'Connor 77 percent of the time has been the deciding vote. And for 70 years, there has been a consensus among scholars and the American people on a reading of the Constitution that protects the right of privacy, the autonomy of individuals, while at the same time empowering the Federal Government to protect the less powerful. Only recently has the debate come that States rights are being trumped in a fundamental way, a reading of the 10th Amendment and 11th Amendment. That is a legitimate debate. Totally legitimate. But anybody who pretends that how you read the 10th and 11th Amendment does not have a fundamental impact on the things we care about is kidding themselves. They are either uninformed or they are kidding themselves. So, Judge, there is a genuine struggle going on well beyond you, well beyond the Congress, in America about how to read the Constitution. And I believe at its core we have a Constitution, as our Supreme Court's first great Justice Marshall said in 1819, and I quote, ``intended to endure for the ages to come and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.'' That is the crux of the debate we are having now, whether it is an adaptable Constitution. A lot of my friends make very powerful and convincing arguments--and they may be right--that, no, no, no, no, no, it is not adaptable, it is not adaptable. And since our country's founding, we have tried to keep Government's heavy hand out of our personal lives while ensuring that we do the most important thing, which is to protect those who cannot protect themselves. And the debate raging today is about whether we will continue along that path and whether our courts will continue to be one of the places where society puts the little guy--and I know this is not something you are supposed to say--the little guy on the same footing with the big guy. The one place David is equal to Goliath is in the Supreme Court. It is also important to note that you are slated to replace the first woman ever nominated to the Supreme Court. We can pretend that is not the fact, but it is. And through no fault of your own, we are cutting the number of women in half on the Court. And now, as I said, that is not your fault, but I think it means that we have to take, at least speaking for myself, a closer look at your stands on issues that are important to women. And, moreover, Justice O'Connor brought critical qualities to the High Court that not everybody thinks are qualities--I happen to think they are--her pragmatism and her statecraft. Not that I have always agreed with what she said, far from it, but Justice O'Connor has been properly lauded in my view as a judge who approached her duties with open- mindedness and with a sensitivity to the effects her decisions would have on everyday, ordinary people. She, unlike Judge Bork, did not think that being on the Court would be ``an intellectual feast,'' to quote Judge Bork. Justice O'Connor also brought balance to our highest Court. Most recently, as has been repeated many times, she cautioned about war does not give a blank check. Her decisions reflect, in my view, that our societies work very hard to improve the workaday world, to open doors to workers confronted by powerful employers and for women facing harassment and stereotypes. Now, I acknowledge this is a very tough job a judge has in determining whether or not there is an openness that is required under the Constitution. But I also acknowledge that prejudice runs very deep in our society, and in the real world, discrimination rears its ugly head in the shadows where it is very difficult to root it out. But Justice O'Connor was not afraid to go into the shadows. The Constitution provides for one democratic moment, Judge, before a lifetime of judicial independence when the people of the United States are entitled to know as much as we can about the person that we are about to entrust with safeguarding our future and the future of our kids. And, Judge, simply put, that is this moment, the one democratic moment in a lifetime of absolute judicial independence. And that is what these hearings are about, in my view. In the coming days, we want to know about what you believe, Judge, how you view the Constitution, how you envision the role of the Federal courts, what kind of Justice you would seek to become. As I said, this one democratic moment when the people, through their elected representatives, get to ask questions of a President's choice for the highest Court. And I hope you will be forthcoming. I cannot imagine, notwithstanding what many of my colleagues, whom I have great respect for, believe, I can't imagine the Founders, when they sat down and wrote the document and got to the Appointments Clause and said, You know what? The American people are entitled to know before we make him President, before we make her Senator, before we make him Congressman, what they believe on the major issues of the day. But judges, Supreme Court nominees, as long as they are smart and honest and decent, it really does not matter what they think. We do not have to know. I can't fathom--can't fathom-- that that was the intent of the Founders. They intended the American people to know what their nominees thought. And I might add--and I will end with this--we just had two Supreme Court Justices before our caucus just as they were before, I think, the Republican Caucus. They ventured opinions on everything. On everything, things that are going to come before the Court. It did not in any way jeopardize their judicial independence. So, Judge, I really hope that this does not turn out to be a minuet. I hope it turns out to be a conversation. I believe we--you and I and this Committee--owe it to the American people in this one democratic moment to have a conversation about the issues that will affect their lives profoundly. They are entitled to know what you think. And I remind my colleagues, many of whom are on this Committee, they sure wanted to know what Harriet Miers thought about everything. They sure wanted to know in great detail. They were about ready to administer blood tests. The good news is no blood test here. The good news is no blood test, just a conversation, and I hope you will engage in it with us because I am anxious to get a sense of how you are going to approach these big issues. I thank you very much, Judge. Chairman Specter. Thank you, Senator Biden. Senator Kyl? STATEMENT OF HON. JON KYL, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF ARIZONA Senator Kyl. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Welcome, Judge Alito, to your confirmation hearing. At the outset, I am pleased to note that you have more judicial experience than any Supreme Court nominee in more than 70 years. Indeed, only one Supreme Court Justice in history, one Horace Lurton, nominated by President Taft, had more Federal appeals court experience. Moreover, you have devoted virtually your entire professional life to public service, and the Nation owes you gratitude for that service. I look forward to a dignified hearing followed by a fair up or down vote on the Senate floor. Before discussing your nomination, I would like to take a moment to express my respect and admiration for the Justice whom you are nominated to replace, my fellow Arizonan Sandra Day O'Connor, whom I have known for more than 30 years. Justice O'Connor has served with great distinction during her career in the Arizona Legislature, on the Arizona Court of Appeals, and for what has been a quarter of a century on the U.S. Supreme Court. Arizonans are deeply proud of Justice O'Connor's service to this country. She will always be remembered by Arizonans and all Americans as an extraordinary public servant. Judge Alito, I would like to discuss your background and experience in the context of other Justices on the Supreme Court so that everyone understands how well you satisfy what we have come to expect from our top judges. Like all the sitting Justices, you had an outstanding education. One of your classmates at Yale Law School, Tony Kronman, who later went on to be the dean of the law school and could, I believe, fairly be described as a political liberal, has recently remarked, and I quote, ``He impressed me''--speaking of you--``as being more interested in the technical, intellectual challenges of the law and its legal reasoning than its political uses or ramifications.'' Thus, even in your early 20's, it appears you were focused on the law as an independent pursuit rather than using law to influence political ends. With your intellect and education, you could have become a wealthy attorney, but instead you devoted virtually all of your legal career to the public service. In doing so, you meet, and even exceed, the stellar examples set by Justices Thomas and Souter, each of whom devoted most of their pre-judicial careers to public service. Perhaps this is because, like Justices Ginsburg and Scalia, you had a father who was an immigrant to this Nation. It seems that immigrants often have a special understanding of the incredible opportunities that this Nation affords its citizens. Moreover, your father's long service to the people of New Jersey both as a schoolteacher and as a civil servant in the State legislature plainly served as a model for you. I also note that you served in the U.S. Army Reserves from 1972 until 1980. If confirmed, only you and Justice Stevens would have any military experience. You would also be the first Supreme Court Justice to have served in the Army Reserves since Justice Frank Murphy did so during World War II. You have spent much of your career as a Federal prosecutor pursuing terrorists, mob kingpins, drug dealers, and others who threaten our safety and our security. Justice Souter had a distinguished career as a State prosecutor, but no sitting Justice has served as a Federal prosecutor. Again, this experience could prove helpful given that approximately 40 percent of the Supreme Court docket involves criminal matters. You also served as an attorney in the executive branch. Like Chief Justice Roberts, you served in the Solicitor General's office representing our Government before the Supreme Court. And like Justice Scalia, you served in the Office of Legal Counsel, providing constitutional advice to the President and the rest of the executive branch. In both of these roles, your job was to advance the policies of a President who twice won an electoral college landslide. He set the agenda, and you helped him implement it. Similarly, Justice Thomas served Presidents Reagan and Bush in political/legal capacities, and Justice Breyer also worked in political jobs, both in President Johnson's Justice Department and as a lawyer to this Committee. I note that you were just 39 when nominated to serve on the Third Circuit. Justice Kennedy was only 38 when nominated to the Ninth Circuit, and Justice Breyer only 42 when nominated to the First Circuit. Like them, you now have a great deal of hands-on experience that you can bring to the Court for years to come. During your judicial service, you amassed an impressive record for the Senate to review, including more than 350 authored opinions. It is this judicial record that should be the focus of this Committee, just as it was with all of the other sitting Justices on the Court. It appears to me that you easily fit into the mold of what this Nation has come to expect from a Supreme Court Justice: a first-rate intellect, demonstrated academic excellence, a life of engagement with serious constitutional analysis, and a reputation for fair- mindedness and modesty. These are the standards for a Supreme Court Justice, and you plainly meet these expectations. As a consequence, I view your nomination with a heavy presumption in favor of confirmation. Before I conclude, I would like, though, to address two other points. First, some of my colleagues are fond of asking the question, Which side are you on? You have heard that today. Politicians must pick sides regularly, every time they vote, so it is perhaps natural that they see the world as a battle between competing groups. But it is wholly inappropriate as an approach to the judicial role. The only relevant side is that of the law and the Constitution. We do great injury to the integrity of the court system when we start speaking of sides and stop devoting ourselves to the pursuit of impartial justice. During Chief Justice Roberts's confirmation hearings, I was struck by the way he answered the question. Then Judge Roberts explained that he had been asked earlier in the confirmation process, Are you going to be on the side of the little guy? Roberts explained that this question troubled him, and this is how he answered. He said, ``If the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win. But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy is going to win because my obligation is to the Constitution. That's the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that I will look out for particular interests. The oath is to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States.'' And this is the essence of justice. Our courts provide a neutral forum for the adjudication of disputes under the law, not based on economic or political power, on race, on sex, or any other personal characteristics. Big guy, little guy--it should make no difference. The rule of law demands neutrality. Second, I want to address the proper scope of questioning during these hearings, a matter that has also come up already. As I reminded Chief Justice Roberts at his hearings, the American Bar Association Model Code of Judicial Conduct dictates that, and I quote, ``a judge or candidate for election or appointment to judicial office shall not, with respect to cases, controversies, or issues that are likely to come before the court, make pledges, promises, or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial performance of the adjudicative duties of the office.'' In other words, no judicial nominee should answer any question that is designed to reveal how the nominee will rule on any issue that could come before the Court. This rule has come to be known as ``the Ginsburg standard'' because Justice Ginsburg stated during her own confirmation hearings that she would give no forecasts, no hints about how she would rule on issues. And I was pleased to see that Chief Justice Roberts refused to prejudge issues or make promises in exchange for confirmation votes. We are all better off because of his principled stand. Soon after his confirmation, Justice Ginsburg was asked about this Ginsburg standard as applied to the Roberts hearings, and she said, ``Judge Roberts was unquestionably right. My rule was I will not answer a question that attempts to project how I will rule in a case that might come before the Court.'' In other words, Justice Ginsburg reaffirmed the Ginsburg standard. In light of the Chief Justice's confirmation hearings and Justice Ginsburg's later remarks, I asked my colleagues for basic fair play. Apply the same standards to Judge Alito that we applied to John Roberts, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and all of the other sitting Justices. Let's not invent a new standard for Judge Alito or change the rules in the middle of the game. Politicians must let voters know what they think about issues before the election. Judges should not. And it is not a hypothetical matter. Senator Kennedy in his opening statement expressed concern about the extent of the executive branch's authority to conduct surveillance of terrorists and said ultimately the courts will decide whether the President has gone too far. Indeed they will. Judge Alito, I will tell you the same thing I told John Roberts. I expect you to adhere to the Code of Judicial Conduct, and I want you to know that I will strongly defend your refusal to give any indication of how you might rule on any matter that might come before you as a judge or to answer any question that you believe to be improper under the circumstances. Congratulations, Judge Alito, on your nomination. Chairman Specter. Thank you, Senator Kyl. Senator Kohl? STATEMENT OF HON. HERBERT KOHL, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF WISCONSIN Senator Kohl. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Judge Alito, let me also send my welcome to you this afternoon and to your family. You are to be congratulated on your nomination. Through its interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court hugely shapes the fabric of our society for us and for future generations. Over the course of more than 200 years, it has found a right to equal education regardless of race. It has guaranteed an attorney and a fair trial to all Americans, rich and poor alike. It has allowed women to keep private medical decisions private. And it has allowed Americans to speak, vote, and worship without interference from their Government. Through these decisions and many more, the judicial branch has in its finest hours stood firmly on the side of individuals against those who would trample their rights. In the words of Justice Black, ``The courts stand against any winds that blow as havens of refuge for those who might otherwise suffer because they are helpless, weak, outnumbered, or because they are nonconforming victims of prejudice or public excitement.'' As the guardian of our rights, the Supreme Court makes decisions every year which either protect the individual or leave him at the mercy of more powerful forces in our society. They consider questions like when can a disabled individual sue to gain access to a courthouse, when can a parent leave work to care for a sick child, when should the Government be allowed to listen to a private conversation, and when will the courthouse doors open or close to an employee suffering discrimination at work. Whether interpreting the Constitution or filling in the blanks of a law or a regulation, every word of the Court's opinion can widen or narrow our rights as Americans and either protect us or leave us more vulnerable to any winds that blow. If confirmed, you will write the words that will either broaden or narrow our rights for the rest of your working life. You will be interpreting the Constitution in which we as a people place our faith and on which our freedoms as a Nation rest. And on a daily basis, the words of your opinions will affect countless individuals as they seek protection behind the courthouse doors. Despite your enormous power, you will be free of all constraints, unaccountable and unrecallable. We give Supreme Court Justices this freedom because we expect them to remain above the pull of politics, to avoid the effects of public excitement and allow a broader view, not tied to the whims of the majority at a certain moment in the history. So for only a short time this month will the people through their Senators be able to question and to judge you. In short, before we give you the keys to the car, we would like to know where you plan to take us. To a certain extent, we know more about what is in your heart and in your mind than we did with now Justice Roberts. You have a long track record as a judge and as a public official in the Justice Department. When we met privately and I asked you what sort of Supreme Court Justice you would make, your answer was fair when you said, ``If you want to know what sort of a Justice I would make, then look at what sort of a judge I have been.'' Taking this advice, your critics argue that your judicial record demonstrates that you will not sufficiently protect the individual, but will instead side with more powerful interests, narrow the rights we enjoy, and leave individual Americans more vulnerable to abuse. For example, they cite your Casey dissent as diminishing the power of married women over their own bodies. They identify your decision in the Chittister case as evidence that you will make it harder for working people to care for a family. They cite the Bray case and others where you often side with corporations to block the victims of discrimination from getting their day in court. Others raise concerns about your views on the rights of the accused when faced with the Government's enormous power in the criminal justice process. In addition to your record on the bench, your opponents identify memos you wrote while in the Justice Department as further evidence of your hostility to individual rights. For example, in your now famous 1985 job application, you expressed pride in some of the work you did in the Solicitor General's office. You chose to single out the assistance that you provided in crafting Supreme Court briefs urging that ``the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion.'' While these statements came in the context of your work on behalf of the Reagan administration, they were, nevertheless, your self- proclaimed personal views. In the same job application, you wrote that you had pursued a legal career because you disagreed with many of the decisions of the Warren Court, especially, and I quote, ``in the areas of criminal procedure, the Establishment Clause, and reapportionment.'' These Warren Court decisions establishing one person/one vote, Miranda

Business, Politics, and Higher Education with Mitch Daniels, Former Governor of Indiana
Willy Walker: Welcome to another Walker webcast. It's beyond an honor for me to have former Governor Mitch Daniels and former president of Purdue University joining me today. As I said to the governor as we were talking beforehand. I've interviewed all sorts of very successful people on this webcast. I've had governors. I have had major university presidents, and I have had business executives. I have not had someone who has been wildly successful in all three of those fields. And I want to dive into how Governor Daniels has been so successful in both the private sector as well as in the public sector and as well as in the education field. A quick bio, not that is needed, Governor, and then we'll dive into some questions here. Â
Mitchell Elias Daniels Jr. is an American academic administrator, businessman, author, and retired politician who served as the 49th Governor of Indiana from 2005 to 2013 and the 12th president of Purdue University from 2013 until 2023. He is a graduate of Princeton University and Georgetown Law School. Â
Governor, when I was doing research on you, I did not know that your first engagement in politics was on Bill Ruckelshaus's 1968 senatorial campaign. In the summer of 1986, between my freshman and sophomore year in college, I worked for a lumber company out on the Olympic Peninsula outside of Seattle, Washington, and spent almost every weekend at the Ruckelshaus House on Lake Washington with his daughter Robin and his son Bill and I had known the Ruckelshaus family for many years. Â
I guess the real question I have is that, looking at your bio, you seem to be someone who has politics at heart. It was your first job. It seemed to be what pulled you. And yet I've heard you numerous times talk about both the joy that you've gotten out of running Purdue, as well as your time in the private sector at Eli Lilly, being if not the very close to being, the most rewarding professional experience you've had. Â Are you a politician by nature? Are you a leader by nature? Are you a businessman, or are you an educator? Or are you a combination of all? Â
Mitch Daniels: I like to be thought of as an American in the sense that politics, while it's part of our civic duty, we get the opportunity to participate, have a say, have a hand in. My judgment was never intended in our system to be the center of life. To me, public service, from which I came and went two or three times, is something that a citizen ought to do if she or he gets the chance. Not as an end in itself, not as a lifelong pursuit, but as a way to help the important parts of life flourish. The important parts are those places where people work, raise their families, and come together in voluntary associations. And I tried always to make certain that the folks working around me understood that. And saw it the same way, to protect against government becoming overbearing, overweening, and too expensive, all the things governments and all bureaucracies tend to do. So, I guess that's my outlook. And I'm really grateful for the different opportunities that I had to take part in our public life. But I hope I never let myself then or ever imagine that ought to be the center of life or an end as opposed to just a means. Â
Willy Walker: And governor, I guess the thing about that is that very few people either have the capability or talents to be able to if you will move industries the way that you have. You worked with Jim Baker in both the Reagan administration as well as in the George W. Bush administration, who is, I think, one of the few figures, including yourself, who has been masterful at moving back and forth between the private sector and the public sector? But many people, you've said yourself, you don't want to be the person who's on that last bus out of Washington, DC. But many people that you and I both know are waiting to take that last bus out of DC. They went, and they never leave. What is it about you that allowed you so successfully to toggle? There are very few examples of people who have been able to do exactly what you talk about, not making politics a career but giving back in public service. But then having a career of what I've heard you say previously the really important parts of our economy, of our world, our community, of being an American citizen. Â
Mitch Daniels: You really have to ask others that question the people who took a chance on me as I went from place to place. I never planned anything. Every so many years, the phone would ring and every so often that phone call would be persuasive. But I suppose that if I had any luck in those jobs. I was very fortunate that everywhere I went to work in proximity to tremendously talented people. You mentioned Bill Ruckelshaus being a great example, Dick Lugar being another, Ronald Reagan being another. I could name people from business life, several of them who were tremendous executives and leaders and I hope I learned something from every one of them. And it became an accumulative process but I would leave it for others to judge how well we did it or why it made sense for me to be in those roles in the first place. Â
Willy Walker: So you mentioned Dick Lugar, somebody who you went to work for as I believe you started working for him when he was mayor of Indianapolis. Â
Mitch Daniels: That's right. Â
Willy Walker: And then he obviously got elected to the US Senate. And you spent a lot of time working for him and then went into the Reagan administration. Talk for a moment about Senator Lugar, clearly an icon, clearly somebody who worked across the aisle. A, if you would talk a little bit about Lugar as a person, but then if the civility that many of us feel is lacking in Washington today that very clearly existed back when you worked for Senator Lugar. Â
Mitch Daniels: He was a paragon of public service in my opinion. He had the whole package. He was a brilliant Rhodes Scholar. He had an incredible work ethic, really was all about the job, as well as his own family. And he had an iron integrity. I said at his memorial service âIn all the years I spent with him or knowing him I never saw him make a dishonest decision.â He also had enormous goodwill for people. I said that same day, âif he ever had a bad mood I didn't see it. If you ever badmouth somebody else, I didn't hear it.â One of his sons said, âWell, you didn't play golf with him.â Maybe we are all vulnerable there. But no, I could not have been more fortunate to have worked for him in the first years I was working really. And I know I was shaped by him in ways I probably can't even define myself today. Â
Willy Walker: I know you've read the book, The Last Great Senate: Courage and Statesmanship in Times of Crisis by Ira Shapiro and talking about that era in the U.S. Senate. What is it in your view that has changed in Washington that might make that era the last great Senate? Â
Mitch Daniels: Let's hope it isn't. And then, first of all, I think we have to be careful about nostalgia. And everybody I know thinks they're older. Their high school went to hell a year after they graduated and that sort of thing. But I think Ira had a point. You just go down the list of people who were serving then and they are remembered in a way by Moynihan, Baker, Scoop Jackson, Jacob Javits, Bob Dole, on and on and on. It's not likely I don't think that 20 or 30 years from now people will look back on the current senate with quite the same admiration. Now, on the other hand, you look back before that in American history we had some pretty lousy... In fact I would say that the rule rather than the exception is that Congress was made up of people of suspect ethics and very, let's just say, disparate talent levels. But no, we can always hope that we get lucky again every so many generations. Think of the founding generation, a collection of giants all in one place at the same time. And that Senate might have been to some extent an imitation of that. Â
Willy Walker: If you got the call today that you got 1988 from, I believe it's a former Governor Orr to take a Senate seat when Dan Quayle became vice president, Would you go to the US Senate today? Â
Mitch Daniels: No. And in a way, I got that call. In other words, there is an open seat right now in our state. And the incumbent is coming back to be governor as it happens. And a lot of people urged me. When he made that announcement, I had just finished at Purdue. And so I had a look at it, but no, I said at the time, not the job for me, not the town for me, and not the life I want to lead at this point. So very different reasons, bookends in a way. The occasion you're talking about was a harder call. I had thought of at that time the Senate as a dream destination and it had only been home. I had escaped and had caught the bus out of Washington that I was desperate to catch. Cheri and I really wanted to raise our girls here and so came home when they were one, three, five, and seven. So one year later this amazing opportunity of a Senate seat on a plate comes to me. But it was just the wrong time of life. I had children to raise. I had money to earn, to provide for their future and my wife's future. And so at that time I loved the idea of the job but it simply was the wrong decision from a life standpoint. All those years later, I wasn't as impressed with the job as it is today with the institution. And also, I thought there were better ways to spend my time. Â
Willy Walker: I guess you also now know what it is to be an executive. And at least from my friends who have been former governors who are now senators, Mark Warner and John Hickenlooper being two of them, Tim Kaine being another one, going from being an executive and actually being able to make decisions to be one of 100 is a very different role and a very different mindset as it relates to what you can actually get accomplished. Â
Mitch Daniels: Yeah, that was maybe the number one factor among the ones I mentioned. I did it out of respect for those who wanted me to do it. And had we run, we would have won, I'm more than confident of that. But I went out and I talked to maybe seven or eight current members of both parties, they were all very encouraging. But none of them could convince me or even tried to convince me that one first-term senator could make much of a difference on the list of issues that I mentioned to them that troubled me about the country. So there's no question that also was a factor. Â
Willy Walker: I remember if you think back to the Reagan administration when you joined two things on that one. We all now reflect back on the transformation of the country and the economy that took place under President Reagan's leadership. And it's easy to look back and say, âOh, it was great.â And if you look at interest rates, interest rates going from the prime rate being 15.5% in 1980 down to where it's gotten to. It certainly makes today's interest rates look low, even though you and I were talking before this about how high interest rates are relative to where they've been over the past decade. But governor you were in that administration right when the supply side economics was being put into place, right when Paul Volcker was taking some very dramatic actions at the Federal Reserve. And for those first two years, the slogan of Morgan in America which we all associate with the Reagan administration wasn't actually there. Â What were those early days of the Reagan administration as there was this great sense of, we know what we're going towards, but the actual data that was coming out on a day-to-day basis was not reflective of where we ended up. Â
Mitch Daniels: Yeah. Some people I suppose have forgotten that it wasn't an overnight thing to go from stagflation, double-digit inflation, and double-digit unemployment almost. If you look at the 1982 elections and if you look at the way that President Reagan was viewed at that time, it was pretty grim. But he had the courage of his convictions. He was right about ... And by 1984 morning had dawned. That's what we remember. And such a lesson there in a couple of ways. President Reagan used to say that many people seek high positions to be something, a few seek it to do something, and urged those around him to be in the latter category. When my turn came, I tried in my own small way to emulate him. Â
Willy Walker: There's a picture that I saw of your family in the Oval Office with President Reagan on the couch and your daughters all around him. What was he like as a person? Â
Mitch Daniels: People used to ask me all the time and I would say, âWhat you see is what you get.â He is that person. He's affable, he's kind, he's funny, and easy to talk to. Now, at the same time, he was distant from almost anybody. There may be very few exceptions but almost anybody other than Nancy Reagan who claimed to be close to him, I think probably exaggerates. So when you were around him, he was a very kind person. But I don't pretend to have known him in any intimate way. He was the president to some of us with a capital T and we're grateful for the chance to associate with the mission he had set out for the nation and all to try to pull our small ore and move in that direction. Â
Willy Walker: You've been around a lot of both politicians and leaders prior to President Reagan. What was it in his leadership that was either unique or something that you learned from him because of your own leadership, there's no doubt looking at your career and your life that you've always been some would say a natural-born leader. Everyone would always sit there and say, âMitch is the person who we'd like to put in front of us.â You've had too many leadership opportunities that you've taken and then also offered to you that say that you weren't a natural-born leader. What did you learn or see in Reagan that was something that said, âThat might be something that I put into my tool chest as it relates to what I ought to either do from setting visions, the way I act, the way I communicate.â Was there anything specific that you learned from Reagan? Â
Mitch Daniels: Hunt big game. Try to identify. In fact it's your job to identify big-ticket items, things that will make a material difference in the business or in the success of the country. In his case concentrate your efforts on those and I also thought watching him that the essence of any such position. I always said, âIt is the obligation to paint a picture, to be able to communicate to other people. How things here can be much better than they are today. How this business can be more successful. How we can serve customers we don't today. How can this state get off its backside and become a state of progress and innovation and so forth?â And President Reagan I suppose and he was faulted. Here's an area where I maybe try to do things a little differently. He gathered very talented people around him. He was a magnet for talent because people were inspired by the picture he was painting and the boldness of the changes he wanted to make. He didn't spend a lot of time working on the implementation of his ideas, the workings of the government, and so forth. When my turn came I did. But I always tried to replicate his approach in which there was never a year when we didn't have something big to put before our General Assembly or something big, we were trying to do in our administration. And I always saw my job is to get people excited about that. And when you do that and you have good people around, wonders occur. Whether you're watching the dashboard or not. Â I said, âI felt I learned something important from everybody I got to work for or with. And that would probably be the essence of the president as I saw it.â Â
Willy Walker: You returned to Indiana and went to work at Lilly and I've heard you say numerous times how rewarding that experience was, both in running North America and then running strategy and business development for such a large global firm such as Eli Lilly. It surprises me given the incredibly large and influential positions you've had in public service that you look upon that time in the private sector as being so wildly rewarding. What is it about that governor in the sense that was it that you were earning a good amount of money and it was very rewarding that in exchange for your great labors, you were making good compensation? Is it that the public sector has so many different things coming at you all the time, that you never really sort of can see the progress you're making? Or was there something that is unique about the culture inside of Eli Lilly that let's just say, âhypothetically you worked at Walker & Dunlop may not have been there.â What was it that made that experience so rewarding for you? Â
Mitch Daniels: When I said that those were the years, I'd trade away last, I think there are two or three reasons for that. One was I loved the mission of the place. The place was saving, and our products saved lives. The genius of our scientists made diabetes a manageable disease. The decades before had saved millions of people from depression and sometimes the fatal consequences of that and on and on. I thought it had a noble mission. It wasn't hard to get excited about. Certainly from a personal standpoint, I learned so much about that application later when I came to service in the two sectors which are notorious for incompetence and waste and abuse of positions. I'm talking about government and I'm talking about higher education as we know it today. And to have had the disciplining experience of those 11 years, some of them very tough. I won't give a long lecture here about the pharmaceutical industry but let me just say that when you've got new, innovative, and patent-protected products, you can't not make money. When you're in the opposite situation as we were for several of the years that I held the biggest line job in the company. You have to learn every trick or take every step you possibly can to produce growth. And as we were obligated to do so. The learning experience there was so formative and so helpful and so useful when I got to those other sectors, where they're not often very businesslike. And yes, it did provide for my family. I always thought that was the first obligation I had as a husband and father. And it did in a big way. Not to dwell on it but it enabled me to do things. For the next 12 years, my wife and I gave away more money to charity than I earned on a government payroll, and that was just fine. But we were able to do that because of Lily. Â
Willy Walker: You've been offered to be the U.S. Senator from the state of Indiana. My assumption would be when you were at Lilly, you got offered CEO jobs at other companies. Was there one that came your way that you thought really hard about that you're willing to share with us that you turned down and stayed at Lilly? Â
Mitch Daniels: I can think of one, but I'm not going to indict them. I'm not going to indict their judgment by telling you who it was. And I was not particularly tempted. Honestly, again, Lily was and is such a spectacular company, so ethical, so full of talent and idealistic people. I was quite happy there. I said earlier, âI'd never been a career planner.â I loved my years at Purdue. And one thing I loved was how purposeful our students were. I used to get the career planning question all the time and I had to laugh and say, âWell, you better ask the next guy because life planned me.â I commended them for thinking ahead, but I always urged them to be flexible and open because life would bring them unexpected possibilities. I used to illustrate that by saying that right up until a night in December of 2000 when I got a certain phone call if someone had asked me, âWhat will you be doing in April of 2014 or something.â I'd have said, âWell, I'll be retiring from Eli Lilly and Company,â and life changed totally three times after that. Â
Willy Walker: So that phone call comes in and by the way, who was it who called you? Was it the president-elect or was it Dick Cheney, or who was it who called you while talking about the opportunity to run legislative affairs for the Bush administration? Â
Mitch Daniels: It was first my old friend Andy Card, who became the chief of staff. Â
Willy Walker: Who worked for you in the Reagan administration? Â
Mitch Daniels: That's correct. And a first-rate person, a great American. And actually, Andy made a suggestion that I thought I was just the wrong person for and I said, âNo, you can find somebody better for thatâ. And the next day was the vice president-elect. And he brought up OMB. And then I went home and told my wife, âWell, now we have a problem.â Because that's the one job they had, that's big enough and comprehensive enough. Touching the whole government as it does, I'm going to have to think about this. Â Â
Willy Walker: Governor the federal budget at that time, I think was $2.3 or $2.4 trillion. Walker & Dunlop is a billion-plus revenue company. And if you go on our audit committee, you have to be a certified financial expert to come on to our audit committee of this teeny, little company. Here you are going into managing the largest budget in the world, the largest economy, and the largest institution. This is the largest budget in the world. What was it like to dive into a $2.3 trillion budget? The concept of how you even approach that seems to be just overwhelming. Â
Mitch Daniels: Of course, it's a whole lot bigger today than it was then. But it's big enough then to be daunting in the way you say. Oh, it was exhilarating in its way. It was a new administration of course. With its own set of goals, I thought they were appropriate for the country. Now, ten months later, the agenda of the administration was changed by external events like the attacks of 9/11. But, no, it was everybody thinks about the budget first and that was the first assignment. How the federal government ought to spend its money. And I spent more time on that than anything else. However, I was attracted to the job also because of its regulatory oversight. And when I was coming out of a highly regulated business, I felt then, I feel much more so now, that the federal government is way outside its bounds in terms of the controls and limits and regulations and mandates that it keeps applying to the economy in the country. So I was very eager to say revive, reinvigorate. What's called the OIRA, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. And we did. And that needs to happen again in a big way now by the way. And then management, we always said, was the forgotten aspect of the job. I was determined our group was to, as we said, âput the M in OMB,â what turned out to be a largely futile exercise for several years. We evaluated hundreds of discrete programs in the federal government asking the simple question, âWhat is their goal? What is their statutory assignment and are they accomplishing it? And how can we measure to know?â Now, that's something you would do in business every day of your life. That was an alien concept in the federal government. We reported that faithfully to Congress. On the commonsense premise that when we found a program and we found some that we're doing a good job. For dollars spent they were achieving what they were supposed to. The National Weather Service was one. And the women, infants, and children program was another. And so meanwhile we were identifying many more that were either duplicative or totally failing in their assignment. Of course, the obvious difference is if you took that to a board of directors at your company, they'd act on it right away. The board of directors of the federal enterprise has a chance to have different incentives. If any program was ever terminated or even severely curtailed because it was not well-managed and was not panning out, I'm unaware of it. Â
Willy Walker: You were in the OEOB on 9/11 and could look across the river and see the smoke plumes coming out of the Pentagon. I listened to you tell a story Governor about leaving the White House and you called the driver and asked him to get your briefcase and also get your gym bag. And I was both impressed and also surprised that you asked him to get your gym bag. I guess my direct question is, did you actually squeeze in a workout on that day or was that just a habit if things settle down a little bit? Â
Mitch Daniels: Actually, maybe it's embarrassing to admit I think I did actually, but we were out of there. I didn't know how long it'd be till I got back in. As it happens, I was probably the first person admitted back through the perimeter that the military had set up. But that was not until well into the afternoon. So I got out to my little apartment, a one-person apartment up on Connecticut Avenue, and learned what I could about when I could get back. And I think I had an hour or so to do what seemed like a virtuous thing.
Willy Walker: You leave the Bush administration and decide you're going to run for governor. First of all, if you flashback to 1988 being offered the senatorship, your name clearly was known. And yet at the same time, you'd been in the private sector for 13 years. While being an OMB director is a big job, it's not a household-name job. So clearly there were people around you who, from the very earliest days had said you need to run, you need to be the candidate, not an OMB director, for president for example. What was it that gave you the desire and confidence if you put your hat in the ring? I just heard you a moment ago governor say, âIf you run this time, we know we would have won.â And that you can say declaratory because of your name recognition and all that you have done and accomplished. But back then, that was not evident or clear. What was it that either gave you the compulsion to just have to run, or the conviction that you would win if you did run? Â Â
Mitch Daniels: I had the interest, but not necessarily the confidence. Nobody knew who I was. Not in any big sense, I guess a number of people in some leadership capacities in the state maybe, but not across 6.5 million of my fellow citizens. I think it was a couple of things. One, I was weighing whether I had done enough to justify it by asking for my honorable discharge. My daughters were going through high school and in fact I was missing high school for the youngest one, who they are all apples in my eyes but she certainly was one. Especially after 9/11, I was not able to get home very much. So that was weighing on me. And I made a little list of four things. I said, âIf we can get these four things done, I'll feel that in good conscience. I can go ask the president to release me.â Meanwhile, back home, I was here all the time from folks who were very troubled. And I was two that our state was sinking, wasn't going anywhere, the state was broke, and the state government was a big dysfunctional mess. Somebody needed to do something about it. And so the combination of those things led me to decide that once those four boxes were checked, I would give this thing a try, and off we went. Â
Willy Walker: So you took a month off and then you jumped on the RV One tour? Explain to people the RV One tour. And I think more importantly governor, I've heard you and this is jumping ahead a little bit, I think it's important for us to think about 2003, when you decided to run for governor, got the RV, started the RV Tour, and that one of the issues you were trying to do was you needed to see people meet them where they live. But then also at that time, the image of the Republican Party, looking at economic policy, looking at various things, but not being as engaged, if you will, with the voting population. And that the RV Tour was something that would allow you to some degree dispel that image. And now fast forward to 2024 where we are the role of the two parties is sort of inverted. But go back to 2003, if you will, as it relates to the RV One Tour and why you felt that was so important. Because as I look back on it Governor, I would put forth that starting there, hitting the road was a key component to your success. Â
Mitch Daniels: No, it was the key component. And not just to win an election, but to something more important which was being ready for the job. But you're quite right. I would say that the recent transformation of our politics is the most profound since maybe the so-called Southern Strategy of the 70s and 80s when the South went from monolithically Democratic to heavily Republican. What we've seen in the last few years is that working-class people are heavily inclined to the Republican Party, and rich and well-educated people are overwhelmingly Democratic. That's just upside down from what the situation at least was perceived to be in 2003. I had never expected to run for office. After the episode you mentioned, 1988 when I passed on the Senate seat, I really thought that's that. I was fine with that. But I had encouraged people, I had good friends who had run or considered running, and I had said to them, âThis stereotype Republicans are the party of the rich and the party of the country club and all that.â I said, âIt's not fair, but don't whine about it. You got to have to go out and disprove it.â And I suggest to them they do something roughly like we finally did. Nobody took me up on it. Lamar Alexander in Tennessee came the closest to what I had in mind. But when my turn came, I said âThis was how we had, how we really were going to approach it.â Indiana happens to be the RV capital of the country. A high percentage of the vehicles are produced here. So we got one of the entry-level country mouse RVs and hit the road. And I'm not exaggerating, 20 years later, people still ask me about that campaign. If it has a business school case should be done about it. Forget it was politics as an exercise in branding. So, the slogan of the campaign, which came from a line President Bush tossed off a few days ago, âMy man Mitch was Everywhere,â and the RV was everywhere. We had people sign it. There were thousands and thousands of signatures all covering the thing by election day. On purpose, we had gone to every corner of the state over and over. Nobody comes here anymore places. I do think that it had the effect that I wanted it to, to make the point that everywhere mattered. Everybody mattered. We're in this together, and things can be a lot better than they are. And that was just something I believed was the right thing to do. Put the personal contact back in politics. Now, no political mercenary. No consultant would ever encourage you to do this. Maybe a little just for show, listening tour, one of these things. Little stunt. But not 16 months, almost every single day on the road. Staying overnight, by the way, in people's homes which I started out because I didn't want to spend the money. And then it became such a learning experience that it became a signature. We continued there for eight years as governor, by the way. I know we defeated the stereotype of who was more in touch with everyday people. Â
Along the way, I learned so much. Lamar Alexander, when he saw what I was doing, told me, âYou know it'll probably make you a more successful candidate. It'll definitely make you a better governor.â And he was exactly right. Â
Willy Walker: You not only defeated the stereotype, but you also defeated an incumbent which had never been done in Indiana state history. Â
Mitch Daniels: Yeah. But you wouldn't have to do it today. Now it would be presumed. It almost is the inverse. Today it's almost incumbent on Democratic candidates to show that they're not living in the so-called elitist bubble. Â
Willy Walker: Yeah. Branding, My Man Mitch. Morning in America. 4321. You talked a moment ago about bold, highly ambitious goals, making sure that they are big goals and that people get focused on them. There's also an aspect of branding there, making sure that the goals are, if you will, synonymous or aligned with a mission, if you will. Once you, my man Mitch was the governor of the state of Indiana, what was the underpinning mission or slogan of the leadership of Mitch Daniels as the governor of Indiana? Â
Mitch Daniels: I suppose it was aim higher, which was a phrase I use all the time. The history of our state and its characterization was that we were pretty much conservative in the broader sense of the term, let somebody else try it first. If it ain't broke, don't fool with it. And the theme of our entire effort in our really, ten years was that if that was ever an adequate strategy, it's not in this world. And so we were constantly trying to press the action. I've admitted many times that I started for a very short time with exactly the wrong idea, which was to keep it simple, and stupid. It was not a bad tactic or strategy to say. Our team, our party and had been out for 16 years. And for a little while, I said, âLook, we won't complicate this. The state is broke. The state government is brokenness. 16 years is long enough, QED.â I wasn't out there very long in that RV before I realized that was wrong. First of all, it's not really very responsible. Â People deserve to know. âOkay, fine Big boy. Yeah, I agree, things aren't good. What are you gonna do about it?â And secondly, if we formulate and commit to a series of big and specific ideas and we happened to get elected, we'd have a larger claim to go do those things. So we could legitimately say people had heard it and endorsed it. Now we're going to go do it. And so by the time we got to Election Day, we might have overdone it, but we had 70 very specific plans, large and small. Some we could do administratively by executive action and many we had to have legislative help to do. But we were monomaniacal about getting them done, doing what we said we'd do, and ultimately got almost all.
Willy Walker: So two very successful terms as governor, 2012. A lot of people are saying Mitch Daniels ought to run for president of the United States. You decided not to do that. What was the main driver of backing away from running for president? Â
Mitch Daniels: Ultimately my family. That was a stop, wasn't the only negative reason, but it was a stopper all by itself. Cheri and the girls really did not like the idea. That would understate it. And I used to joke that, âI can't comment. It's not as bad as you think. They'd been there twice. They'd seen what White House life is like. Even if everything else had been pushed me in favor that would have been a hurdle I couldn't get over. I will say there was something else. Â
I said a minute ago that I was very fixated on the idea of confounding another stereotype, which is that people in politics don't say what they really mean. Don't do what they say. And I was resolute to be an exception to that rule. And I had said to the people of Indiana that this is the only job I've run for or ever will. I was reminiscing just today, I used to make all my own TV spots, not make them. I always thought it was the best part of my job. And the very last spot of the reelection campaign in â08, I think I started by saying, âhey, Indiana here's some good news. This is the last time you'll ever watch me in a commercial like this.â And then went on to make our closing pitch, and I really wanted to stay with that. And I'm asked all the time, people say, âwell, do you regret that you didn't try it and so forth.â And I'll tell you that now with the benefit of hindsight, a major reason that I'm glad for the course we took was that I was able to finish the second four years very strong. So we did some of the biggest things of all in the seventh and eighth years. That's not supposed to happen. Lame ducks and all that. I used to say to our team all the time, âlook, lame ducks can still fly.â We're not putting it in neutral here. We were able to win a big legislative majority in 2010, which enabled us to do some big 50 caliber things. Right to work, and the inheritance tax, a host of things that automatic tax refunds when the state has more money stocked away than it needs, things like this. If I'd been out running for president, none of that would have happened if I had been off in New Hampshire or somewhere. First of all, people would have said, âwell, he's only proposing that because he's running for this other job.â And so, when my girls were little, shooting baskets in the driveway, one of the rules was to make your last shot. You can't come in at dinner if you have to make your last shot. Well I wanted our administration to make its last shot and I think we did. Â
Willy Walker: About a quarter of university presidents come from outside of academia. Three-quarters come from inside academia. So you are clearly an exception to the rule as taking the job at Purdue. One of the things Governor that in doing research on you, that just is amazing, is that in nominal terms, not real terms. But in nominal terms, the cost of a Purdue education today is less than it was when you joined as president in 2013. I don't know. I haven't gone to look at it, but I don't know that there's another university in the United States that can make that statement. And in the process of holding tuition flat. You increased this in-student enrollment by 30%. When I read that Governor, I sat there and said, âMan, his supply-side economics learnings in the Reagan administration in the early 80s really sunk in.â But talk about that for a moment, because there are plenty of successful big university administrators out there today. And I had Mary Sue Coleman on the Walker webcast a month ago. And Mary Sue at Michigan is one of them. But I don't know if there's anyone who can state what I just said about you and what your decade at Purdue did for the cost of an education at Purdue, and then the access to the learning that takes place on that campus. Â
Mitch Daniels: I did come from outside and that has all the obvious handicaps. I had huge learning curves to climb. But on the other hand, you do have a perspective. My perspective was that the people were being squeezed, especially people in the middle-income brackets. Even by the cost of public education in Indiana. And Iâve been asked repeatedly over the years how this happened. I generally say, âstart by asking the right question.â Instead of asking, and this is the way most people in Higher Ed are socialized. They had it easy for so long. The question they asked was, how much money would we like to have this next year to keep everybody happy and keep on doing what we're doing? And then they'd dial up tuition to produce that amount, and they were able to do that. In Purdueâs case, 36 years in a row just like so many other places. And we asked a different question, what would we need to do this year to avoid that, to avoid an increase? And sometimes I said, âWe solve the equation for zero.â And it turns out not that hard. The fruit hangs pretty low in higher ed. Purdue had been better managed I think than most schools. But still, there were all sorts of fairly obvious things. If you establish, as for instance, that Reagan had a primary goal and try to point towards it. Yes, youâre quite right. Business is a business audience that no one will be surprised to know that you can set up a virtuous circle and grow your market share. We know from surveys of the students every single year and its continued, by the way, been a record number of applications to Purdue University. We know from surveying those applicants that second only to the correctly perceived quality and rigor of a Purdue degree the cost and the confidence that you won't get socked with a big surprise every single year. A big increase was a driver of the surge in interest in our university. And so yes, we did grow by 30% or more. And what a strong top line is your ability to operate a place. Â
Willy Walker: When you joined Purdue, 41% of the students were focused on STEM. When you left a decade later, almost 68% were focused on STEM. What did you do as it relates to making Purdue such a standout institution as it relates to STEM? It obviously had a reputation there but going from 40% to 70% as it relates to students focused on STEM is something. It was that investment in professors, in facilities, in branding. What was it that took Purdue to be at the very top on STEM? Â
Mitch Daniels: We were building from strength. And that's something that reinforces strengthening or a great product line is something that our businesspeople, most of them that I know, think is wise. It was the single biggest reason I accepted the Purdue job. I turned it down two or three times, but I couldn't quite say. And I said yes, it was because I had come to the conclusion that aside from the job I was leaving, there was no place, no job a person could go to, where there was the potential to do more for the state I care about. And in the nation, too. And why do I say that? Norman Augustine, a great businessman and public figure of the last half-century had just finished leading a National Competitiveness Commission. And the number one recommendation they had made was that the nation needed 10,000 more engineers per year. So I said, âWell we can take care of the first 7 or 8% if we do this right. The rest of the country surely can handle the rest.â We did make investments heavily and we accepted that we were getting lots of applications but we needed to build the capacity to accept more. But we did. And of course, in hiring the best people we could, which attracted even more students and graduate students and success built on itself. No, I mean, it's as you say, it's in the high 68% I think don't forget of a much bigger...
Willy Walker: Yeah. That's the cool part of it. A lot of the criticism goes to the Ivyâs, and I'm very happy that you're wearing a yellow P and not an orange P on your shirt. Many people would still be wearing their orange P. But they haven't learned how to extend their brand, that they sit there and they have benefited from it being a very elite brand and making it very hard to access. And they are more concerned about their yield numbers than they are on taking their incredible educational experience and broadening it out to allow more people to access it. Â
Mitch Daniels: They've been selling prestige. It's become more and more clear. They've been bragging about how selective they are. I said to our board in our Purdue family, I said, âWe want to be known not by how many we turn away, but how many we turn out.â And now the goal in doing that of course if you do grow is to maintain rigor and enhance it if you can. I had to point out to folks now and then that sure accessibility, affordability, holding tuition and other costs where we did, was a primary goal that we had but that only deals with the denominator. The question I always put is we're about to deliver higher education at the highest proven value. Value being the objective in business or anywhere in life value is quality over cost. And so we invested heavily in quality. I never let anybody suspect that, in any way, we scrimped on quality quite the opposite. We invested very heavily. We paid our people every year at the median, pay increase or above. And we would never have penalized or risked the rigor and quality of a Purdue education. We fought against grade inflation and all those things. The day will come when the board and my successor who have extended the freeze now twice, we'll finally have to make some adjustments. But now you will be there still. And that was the real goal. Â
Willy Walker: I would tell you, your successor looks to be from afar an incredibly impressive individual. Governor, just on four, three, two, one. Because I found that to be so impressive. Explain to people what four, three, two one is. Â
Mitch Daniels: I think you're talking about a slogan. Actually, I didn't invent this, but one of our students did. Â
Willy Walker: Really? Â
Mitch Daniels: Yeah. Graduated in four years or less. I want to emphasize that. I'll come back to that. But I will graduate in four years. Maintain at least a three-point grade average. And let's see what else they have in. Â Â
Willy Walker: Two hours of home. Â
Mitch Daniels: Minimum of two hours of study for every hour of class and be very active, not just the member, in at least one extracurricular activity. That was their recommendation to their own fellow students a few years ago, I had adopted it right away. Â
Willy Walker: And I heard that and I said. Â
Mitch Daniels: Naturally, the authors had graduated. Â
Willy Walker: I have two sons in college right now. And I literally immediately texted them, and said âFour, three, two, one.â
Mitch Daniels: Yeah. No, a pretty good formula. I want to say something about the four, four-year degrees being an American convention in Europe and other places. Generally, it's three. And so, we made a big point. In fact, I've been a believer for a long time, and at least in certain contexts, and Higher Ed is one, nonprofit world, government in prizes. So I set up, I think a half a million in prizes to the department that first came forward with a portfolio of three-year degrees and our liberal arts college did, others followed, and now as I look at those 70 or 80 different degrees at Purdue can be achieved in three years. It's not that hard to do that. Most students will take some summer school. They'll have one or two semesters where they heavy up, but maybe three hours or something. And the other part is mapping it out so they don't take too many courses that don't apply to the degree. And so one of the metrics we watched most carefully, I did anyway, was time to degree which came down from something like 4.3 to it's around 3.8 something now at Purdue. And that's why it can be very important because an extra year that years of difference may be visible, and saves money on the front end, but also an extra year of earning compounded over a career is real money. Â
Willy Walker: It is real. Â
Mitch Daniels: We can't do everything. I said, âWe can't make an aeronautical engineer or a pharmacist in three years. But we can make a sociologist or something. Â
Willy Walker: I could keep going for a whole ânother hour, but I'm pretty good at starting at the bottom of the hour and finishing at the bottom of the hour, and you've been extremely generous with your time. But I want to come to Indianapolis, honestly, and take you out to dinner and continue this conversation because I've enjoyed it tremendously. Â
I guess the final question I have for you is what's next? You've been such an incredible leader. As I said, at the very top in three different industries, if you will, the private sector, public service, and education. What's the next step? Tell me. It's not that you're just going to step back and spend more time with your grandkids which obviously would be thoroughly to your right and privilege. And at the same time, for all of us who are looking for your leadership, we'd love to hear that there's some other challenge you want to take on. Â
Mitch Daniels: I will see. I made the mistake, I cautioned a lot of friends not to say yes to too many things. So I'm involved with at least three or four businesses in different capacities. I still write columns for the Washington Post, try to have a little say, in that way, and give speeches here and now and then. It's nice to just do the ones I want to do, or that a good friend asked me to do and not things I just feel I have to do. So I'm plenty busy. Writing what might be another book, but on the other hand, it's gotten so long already, that I'm not sure anybody's ever gonna want to look at it. I was encouraged to try to write more or less a memoir. And so, I'm filling the days up. But nothing 24/7. And, if the phone rings with something like that, I think I got some miles left in me, but I'm plenty busy if it doesn't. Â
Willy Walker: I'm deeply thankful that you took the time to join me. It's been a real pleasure. And I thank you and thank everyone who tuned in today to listen to this discussion. And I hope everyone has a great day. Thanks very much, Governor. Â
Mitch Daniels: Enjoyed it. Thanks. Â

Love Actually is a holiday favourite, with millions watching it every year in the lead-up to Christmas. The 2003 movie delivers all the feels from love lost and found to deaths and marriages, with plenty of laughs along the way. Here's what the main cast is doing now.
Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant played the newly elected British Prime Minister David, who found he was falling for a staff member. One memorable moment features Hugh dancing in the halls of 10 Downing Street to the song Jump by The Pointer Sisters. However, Hugh hated that scene.
"I saw it in the script and I thought, 'Well, I'll hate doing that'. I didn't fancy doing the dance at all, let alone rehearsing it," Hugh told Variety this year.
"To this day, there's many people, and I agree with them, who think it's the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid. Then some people like it. But I will give myself this credit... it was my idea to have that secretary lady catch me. Genius."
Since Love Actually Hugh has continued acting, starring on the big and small screen with the likes of Sarah Jessic Parker, Henry Cavill, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Matthew McConaughey and Nicole Kidman. He also has three movies due out next year.
Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson played the prime minister's sister Karen, whose heart-breaking storyline has her questioning her marriage. She revealed this year she knew the grief and pain her character experiences from her own marriage to Kenneth Branagh, who had an affair with her friend Helena Bonham Carter.
"I was utterly, utterly blind to the fact that he had relationships with other women on set," she told The New Yorker. "What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself. I was half alive. Any sense of being a lovable or worthy person had gone completely."
However Emma moved on to find love with her second husband, actor Greg Wise, and remains an A-list actor. Some of her blockbuster hits include Men In Black 3 and Men In Black: International, Saving Mr Banks, Nanny McPhee and the Harry Potter films.
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson played the recently widowed Daniel, who now has to bring up his stepson Sam. Helping Sam through his first time falling in love helps Daniel move on as well.
Liam Neeson cemented his reputation in Hollywood well before Love Actually with lead roles in Schindler's List, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Les Misérables and Gangs of New York. Since 2003, he has most famously starred in action thrillers such as the Taken franchise and Unknown.
Tragedy struck Liam when he lost his wife Natasha Richardson after a tragic skiing accident in 2009. "Plenty of times I've thought about this film and my own life. Love Actually, that's the way it is. That's the tapestry of life," he told Hello magazine.
Colin Firth
Colin played writer Jamie, who escapes to France after discovering his girlfriend has cheated on him with his brother. There he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia and before long, realises he is falling in love with her.
Over the years Colin has played the perfect romantic lead, from Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to, well, Mr Darcy in the Bridget Jones's Diary sequels.
He has won an Academy Award, two British Academy Film Awards, a Golden Globe Award and three Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Despite often playing the romantic lead, Colin says he is far from that himself. "I'm not necessarily an optimist in terms of romantic love. I'm not the type of romantic who enjoys the weepy movie and then sighs sweetly about it. I'm more interested in the obstacles and the impossible than I am in resolution and happiness."
Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman plays Karen's husband and design agency head Harry, whose ego is stroked when he starts to receive romantic attention from his secretary Mia.
Alan had already received critical acclaim with supporting roles in Die Hard and Sense and Sensibility, and leading roles in films such as Truly, Madly, Deeply. After Love Actually, he is probably best remembered for playing Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films.
Sadly Alan died of pancreatic cancer in January 2016 at the age of 69.
Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy starred as rock'n'roll legend, Billy Mack who tries to prove his critics wrong by getting the Christmas number-one spot for his latest single. He won Best Supporting Actor at the BAFTAs in 2003 for his portrayal of the fading pop star.
His character has some great one-liners, which he never gets sick of hearing from fans. "It was a big and important thing for me and changed the way I went to work. I'll never get bored talking about it," he told ITV's This Morning. "People have used it for all sorts of purposes to get through dark times... there's nowhere in the world where people don't watch it on a regular basis, every Christmas."
Bill slaos appeared in two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, About Time and the 2022 TV drama The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Martine McCutcheon
Martine McCutcheon played tea girl Natalie, who works for the British Prime Minister and despite trading jabs and their difference in status, she manages to win his heart.
Since filming Love Actually, the former EastEnders star has played parts in a few TV series and does guest appearances on reality and talk shows in the UK. In 2011, she revealed she had been diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and in 2017 she was diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Martine still keeps in touch with Love Actually co-star Hugh Grant. "He had an award given to him a couple of years ago and he asked myself and Bill Nighy to come along and support him. That was the last time I actually saw him but we tweet and message each other once in a while and check in and see how we're doing," she told the MailOnline.
Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley was just 18 when she played the role of newlywed Juliet in Love Actually. While we get to see how happy she and her new husband Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are at their wedding, Peter's best man Mark is secretly in love with Juliet.
In an interview in 2018, Keira had to be reminded of who she chooses in the end after admitting she'd watched the film only once. "I don't remember! Who do I end up with in Love Actually? I'm with my husband, aren't I? Aren't I with Chiwetel Ejiofor?" she asked.
Last year, the mother of two revealed to Entertainment Weekly that she still hadn't re-watched the movie. "No, I have not watched the film again. Yes, I know that I stay with my husband," she said.
Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln plays the best man to Juliet's husband Peter, waiting until after the couple marries to profess his love for Juliet.
"In one of the most romantic movies of all time, I got to play the only guy who doesn't get the girl," Andrew told Entertainment Weekly. "The story is set up like a prism looking at all the different qualities of love. Mine was unrequited. So I got to be this weird stalker guy," he added. "I kept saying to Richard [Curtis, the film's writer-director], 'Are you sure I'm not going to come off as a creepy stalker?'" he said.
Andrew is best known for playing Rick Grimes in the apocalyptic TV series The Walking Dead and also starring in the movies Made in Dagenham and Penguin Bloom.
Laura Linney
American actress Laura Linney was one of the only leads from across the pond. She pays Sarah, who works for Harry at his design agency and is in love with the creative director Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). While it turns out Karl is also in love with her, the whole relationship is shut down by Sarah's duties as a carer to her brother Michael.
The role of Sarah is one of the few romcom roles that Laura has ever taken. "I don’t think I'm quite seen as romcom material. Love Actually was as close as I was going to get," she revealed in Vulture magazine this year. "And now I don't know what a really successful romcom even looks like. I haven't seen one in a while."
Laura is a highly praised actress, having won two Golden Globes and four Emmys. She is best known for her award-winning performance as Wendy Byrd in the drama series Ozark.

Since bursting into theaters in 2003, "Love Actually" has become a Christmas movie staple. The festive season is not complete without seeing those opening hugs at Heathrow airport, hearing Hugh Grant utter the line, "Love actually is all around," and, of course, getting cozy with the stellar "Love Actually" cast and their intertwining storylines.
The Richard Curtis movie, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, brought with it a collection of A-list stars that needed no introduction. Theater, film, and TV icons like Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, and Grant were cast in lead roles, while the film also helped to catapult the careers of Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson, whose sweet childhood romance pulled on the hearts of many.
While the movie has arguably aged badly and is not without its troubles (Natalie getting dumped for being "fat," Mark's creepy wedding video, and many of the women characters being passive), it continues to be viewed with fondness for many Christmas lovers. So in the two decades since it first premiered, where's the cast of "Love Actually" now?
Keep scrolling to find out how the last two decades have been for the beloved Christmas characters.
03
Alan Rickman
Playing Thompson's husband, Harry, in "Love Actually" Rickman was arguably considered the villain of the movie after his head was turned by his secretary, Mia.
The actor continued to play the role of Severus Snape in all of the Harry Potter movies, as well as directing and starring in the 2014 film "A Little Chaos." Rickman passed away in January 2016 from pancreatic cancer.
04
Heike Makatsch
German actor Makatsch played meddling Mia, Harry's secretary, in "Love Actually," who used her sexuality to turn her boss's head away from his wife.
She played the role of Lisa Addison in "Resident Evil" prior to the Christmas rom-com and was in a relationship with Daniel Craig for seven years. Now, the 52-year-old is a mom of three and resides in Berlin.
05
Rowan Atkinson
While not a lead character in the Christmas film, Atkinson certainly made an impression as the perfectionist Selfridges shop assistant, helping Harry buy a necklace for his mistress.
Already a household name thanks to TV series "Mr. Bean" and "Blackadder," Atkinson's comedic style continued following "Love Actually" with TV and films including the Johnny English film series. He is also set to star in the 2023 prequel, "Wonka," alongside Grant. The 68-year-old began an affair with comedian Louise Ford in 2018, who was 26 years his junior. He separated from his wife and Ford ended her relationship with comedian James Acaster so they could be together. They went on to have a child together, Atkinson's third.
06
Hugh Grant
When it comes to memorable "Love Actually" scenes, Grant playing the Prime Minister and dancing to Girls Aloud has to be up there, before his character falls in love with Natalie.
From playing Firth's love-rival in the Bridget Jones franchise to Phoenix Buchanan in "Paddington 2," Grant's movie roles have cemented him as a British icon. The dad of four is set to star as an Oompa Loompa in the upcoming remake of "Wonka," premiering in December, and we can't wait.
07
Martine McCutcheon
Former "Eastenders" star McCutcheon took her career to new heights when she played a new member of staff at No.10 Downing Street. Playing Natalie, who was dumped for being "fat" – jokes Curtis has since admitted he regrets including in the film – she falls for the Prime Minister.
Since the film, McCutcheon starred in TV shows "Spooks" and "Echo Beach." She got married and became a mom in 2015. She has also spoken of her chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and Lyme disease diagnoses.
08
Keira Knightley
Knightley played newlywed Juliet in "Love Actually" who turns out to be the object of Mark's affection and the best man at her wedding.
Knightley, 38, went on to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, "Pride & Prejudice," and "Atonement." She took some time away from acting, telling the Always Chatter podcast that she had a mental breakdown at 22. The mom of two starred as Loretta McLaughlin in the "Boston Strangler" this year.
09
Andrew Lincoln
Lincoln came to prominence playing Mark, the best friend of Peter. He was the best man at Peter and Juliet's wedding only for him to reveal on Christmas Eve, through the now-famous placards scene, that his dislike of Juliet had in fact been masking his love for her.
Dad-of-two Lincoln, 50, grew global notoriety after being cast as Rick Grimes in "The Walking Dead" in 2010; a character he played until 2018. A film trilogy has reportedly been in the works but was put on hold due to the pandemic.
10
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Ejiofor played Peter, who married Juliet in "Love Actually." Unbeknown to him, his best friend, Mark, who he thinks hates his wife, actually has feelings for her.
Stage and screen actor, Ejiofor, 46, received an OBE in 2008 for services to the arts and he took on the role of Solomon Northup in "12 Years a Slave" in 2014, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. He made his directorial debut in 2019 with "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and returned to play Mordo for the Doctor Strange sequel in 2022.
11
Liam Neeson
Neeson's "Love Actually" character, Daniel, was grieving for his recently deceased wife but put his efforts into helping his son, Sam, find true love.
Tragically, life imitated art when in 2009 his wife, Natasha Richardson, died after suffering a head injury after a skiing accident. Neeson, 71, starred in action films "Taken" and as Ra's Al Ghul in "Batman Begins." His acting has been routed in the action genre, most recently starring in "Retribution" in 2023.
12
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Brodie-Sangster was just 12 years old when he played Sam in "Love Actually." He declares his affection for classmate Joanna to his dad and his mission is to tell her his feelings.
Now 33, Brodie-Sangster has gone on to have a successful career in a number of cult TV shows. He played Jojen Reed in "Game of Thrones" and Benny Watts in "The Queen's Gambit," opposite Anya Taylor-Joy. He got engaged in July to fellow British actor, Talulah Riley.
13
Olivia Olson
Olson blew everyone away when she played a young Joanna who belted out Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" at the age of 10 at the crescendo of "Love Actually."
Olson went on to voice the recurring character of Vanessa in the Disney animated series "Phineas and Ferb" alongside her "Love Actually" costar Brodie-Sangster. She has also recorded a number of albums and competed on "The X Factor: Celebrity" in 2019.
14
Martin Freeman
Award-winning actor Freeman had perhaps one of the funniest roles in "Love Actually." Playing John, a stand-in for films, he meets Judy while they are simulating sex scenes, yet are both inherently shy. They end up falling for each other and get engaged.
Since then, Freeman's career has been nothing but varied. The 52-year-old played Dr. John Watson in BBC's "Sherlock," for which he won a BAFTA and an Emmy, Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit movie franchise, and Everett K. Ross in "Black Panther." The dad of two was previously married to fellow actor Amanda Abbington but the two separated in 2016.
15
Joanna Page
Welsh actor Page, 46, played Judy, the fellow stand-in for the sex scenes who ended up falling for John.
Since the release of the film, Page became best known for playing Stacey in the TV sitcom "Gavin & Stacey" alongside James Cordon and Ruth Jones. She has also become a mom of four, married fellow actor James Thornton, and joined "Loose Women" as a panelist in 2023.
16
Colin Firth
Rom-com favorite Firth, 63, played Jamie in "Love Actually" who, after finding his wife cheating on him with his brother, retreats to his French cottage and falls in love with the Portuguese housekeeper, Aurélia, who does not speak English.
Fresh from his role as Mark Darcy in "Bridget Jones," he reprised the character for the two follow-up movies after "Love Actually." He went on to star in iconic films "Mamma Mia" and "Mamma Mia Here We Go Again" as Harry Bright, and gained critical acclaim for his acting in "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech," the latter of which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2010. The dad of three recently starred in "The Staircase," a true-crime miniseries, alongside Toni Collette and Sophie Turner.
17
Lucia Moniz
Portuguese actor and singer Moniz played Aurélia, a housekeeper tending to Jamie's French abode who does not speak English. He falls in love with her, learns Portuguese, and proposes in front of her family.
Moniz, 47, has since released a number of albums and won the Best Performance award at the Raindance Film Festival for her role as the struggling mother of a deaf child in the 2020 film "Listen."
18
Kris Marshall
Marshall, 50, played Colin, the "god of sex," who travels across the pond in a bid to attract women with his British accent.
His breakout role prior to "Love Actually" had been in the BBC sitcom "My Family" where he played Nick Harper, a role he reprised a number of times in the years following the movie's release in 2003. The dad of two took on the role of DI Humphrey Goodman in BBC drama "Death in Paradise" from 2013-2017, and reunited with the character in 2023 for the spinoff, "Beyond Paradise."
19
January Jones
While not a main character in "Love Actually," Jones played Jeannie, one of the American party girls who meets Colin as he arrives in the USA.
The 45-year-old later became best known for playing Betty Draper Francis for seven seasons of "Mad Men," for which she received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. The mom of one has also played Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class" and Lizbeth Sloan in Netflix's "The Politician."
20
Laura Linney
Linney played Sarah in "Love Actually," an American working in London who is in love with the creative director at her work, Karl. When they connect at the Christmas party, she is interrupted by her mentally ill brother.
Linney, 59, starred in the 2004 film, "Kinsey," 2005's "The Squid and the Whale," and 2007's "The Savages," for which she received her third Academy Award nomination. From 2017 to 2022, she starred in "Ozark" alongside Jason Bateman. Linney married in 2009 and fellow "Love Actually" star, Neeson, walked her down the aisle. She gave birth to a son in 2014.

Action star Liam Neeson has gone through a lot of changes since the 2003 release. Professionally, he has continued to appear on the silver screen in movies like The Taken franchise, The Grey, Cold Pursuit, The Marksman, Widows, Men in Black: International and Made in Italy. He has also continued to star in the Star Wars franchise.
Neeson lost his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, after a skiing accident in 2009. And like his Love Actually character Daniel, he has raised their two sons alone.
But despite it all, Neeson has remained positive and has continued to talk very highly about Love Actually.
"We've all lived lives," the actor said in a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly. "Some of us have died. Oh, my dear old friend Alan Rickman, God rest him. Some have gotten divorced. I've lost my wife. And, oh, sure, plenty of times I've thought about this film and my own life. Love Actually, that's the way it is. That's the tapestry of life."
Fun fact: He wanted to be in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) so badly that he did not even bother reading the script to see if it was good. He just knew it would be.
Best known for his brilliant performance as Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, Alan Rickman is nothing short of a silver screen icon. As well as the Harry Potter films and Love Actually, Rickman has also starred in Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and Sense and Sensibility. In 2022, Henry Holt and Co. released his authorized biography called Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman, which contained his personal diary entries from 1993-2016, and the forward was written by co-star Emma Thompson.
He was also awarded the Golden Globe, Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild awards for his role as Rasputin in the 1996 television movie Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.
Sadly, in 2016, Rickman died from cancer at age 69. The final film he worked on before his death was Alice Through the Looking Glass, which was dedicated to him.
Fun fact: Despite being author J.K. Rowling's first choice to play Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, he was only given the role after Tim Roth (the studio's choice) backed out to star in Planet of the Apes (2001).
By the time Love Actually came out in 2003, Hugh Grant already had quite the roster of films on his résumé, including Sense and Sensibility, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary. The actor has since become an action star, starring in The Grey, Cold Pursuit and The Marksman. He also appeared in Widows, Men in Black: International and Made in Italy.
In 2018, Grant married TV producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein, and they share three children together. Grant also shares two children with Tinglan Hong.
Fun fact: Grant revealed he was reluctant to do that iconic dance scene — but said he is now proud he did it and was glad he was able to pull it off.
Two-time Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley has made quite a name for herself since Love Actually. Known for her historical fiction and fantasy roles in films like Pride & Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean, Anna Karenina, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and Star Wars: Episode I alongside Nesson. Yes, Knightly has certainly done it all.
But she still has a soft spot for Love Actually, telling Entertainment Weekly, "I don't think any of us expected it to become a phenomenon...But it took on this wonderful following, and now it's almost bigger in America than anywhere else."
She is married to James Righton, and they have two children.
Fun Fact: Her birth name was going to be "Kiera," but her mother made a typo on the birth certificate.
When Golden Globe winner Bill Nighy took on the role of washed-up rocker Billy Mack, no one expected him to have a hit song in Christmas Is All Around. But he did, and post-Love Actually, Nighy has starred in Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango, Emma, Arthur Christmas and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. He also took his acting skills to the stage, starring in Skylight in both London's West End and on Broadway and later appearing in Castlevania.
Fact: He has Dupuytren's Contracture, a condition that causes the ring and little fingers of each hand to be permanently bent inwards towards the palm.
After starring in Love Actually, Chiwetel Ejiofor had some guest-starring roles in box office hits like Inside Man and Children of Men, as well as some indie films like Dirty Pretty Things and Kinky Boots. Then, in 2013, he starred in 12 Years a Slave, earning him an Academy Award nomination. In 2016, he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange as Mordo. Some of his other notable tiles include The Martian, the live action Lion King and Sherlock Gnomes.
Fun fact: He was awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honors List and the Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honors List for his services to drama.

Where was Love Actually filmed in London? We have the answers – with some bonus festive French locations, too

It’s getting cold out there, which means it’s almost Christmas time. Fancy getting into the spirit with a festive flick? Love Actually is one of the most popular Christmas films, glimpsing into the lives of eight loosely connected London couples in the frantic leadup to Christmas. But where was Love Actually filmed? Go one step further in mustering up the festive vibes with a trip to some of the recognisable filming locations, from Juliet’s mews to a stroll along the South Bank. Here are the top spots to know.
Read the C&TH Guide to Responsible Tourism
Where Was Love Actually Filmed?
Love Actually was filmed in London, across real houses, shops and landmarks. Meanwhile, Jamie (Colin Firth)’s secluded writing retreat in France was filmed on location across the Channel. That said, Colin (Kris Marshall) ’s Wisconsin scenes were actually filmed on sets in the UK.
The film follows a web of characters who are subtly linked to one another but live scattered across the city, going about their lives in the 2003 festive season in their own way. The film is bookended by heartfelt scenes at Heathrow Airport, with Hugh Grant’s character voicing that ‘love, actually, is all around us’ and can be seen in the slightest of ways. Between that, plenty of filming locations pop up across the British capital, from Oxford Street to Shoreditch, City Hall to Notting Hill.
Love Actually Filming Locations
St. Luke’s Mews
This quaint, pretty residential street attracts plenty of visitors for its picturesque quality, but also because it is recognisible from one of Love Actually’s most infamous scenes: Mark’s declaration of love for Juliet on her doorstep with cue cards and boombox, while her husband (and his best friend) sits just inside). You can find the street just off All Saint’s Road in Notting Hill – and you can rewatch the notorious scene below.
Grosvenor Chapel
Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Juliet (Keira Knightly) marry at the beginning of the film in Grosvenor Chapel on South Audley Street, a stone’s throw from Hyde Park. The gorgeous, columned space hosts regular music concerts – but don’t expect them to be as elaborate or surprising as Peter and Juliet’s brass rendition of ‘All You Need Is Love’.
Westminster Boating Base
The wedding reception, meanwhile, was filmed at the riverside venue, Westminster Boating Base. This scene is perhaps most notable for Colin (Kris Marshall) offending the caterer before he departs for Wisconsin, USA.
The OXO Tower
When Mark gives Juliet the wedding video, the pair are at his apartment in the OXO Tower wharf complex; a lucky, artsy man indeed.
Heathrow Airport
Love Actually opens and closes at London’s largest and most iconic airport, Heathrow, with warm, fuzzy scenes of people hugging and expressing affection in small but significant ways, overlaid by Hugh Grant waxing lyrical on the ubiquitousness of love.
‘Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport,’ he says. ‘General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling love, actually is all around.’
The shots of airport goers were shot documentary style – so they’re all natural and genuine expressions of affection.
Selfridges, Oxford Street
Harry (Alan Rickman) meets up with his wife Karen (Emma Thompson) to go Christmas shopping, and the two end up in Selfridges. This is where Harry furtively purchases a necklace for Mia – the flirtatious woman from work – while Rowan Atkinson’s shop assistant character stresses him out by wrapping the present painstakingly and elaborately. Before that, the couple meet at St Christopher’s Place, a cute shopping piazza behind Selfridges.
Shoreditch
Harry (Alan Rickman) and Sarah (Laura Linney) both work for Fairtrade Ltd, which was filmed at Shoreditch’s EMA House on the corner of Tabernacle Street and Clere Street.
St Paul’s Church, Clapham
This small parish church is where a distraught widowed Daniel (Liam Neeson) attends the funeral of his wife, along with his young stepson, Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster).
Gabriel’s Wharf
When Daniel and Sam have their riverside heart-to-heart – and Daniel discovers that the young Sam is in love with a girl at school – they sit on a section of the River Thames’ South Bank called Gabriel’s Wharf. In particular, they sit on a bench in front of the Riviera Restaurant – though the benches have been slightly moved since filming.
City Hall
Billy Mack’s record company’s office is the real City Hall, the London Assembly Building on the South Bank. His recording studio, however, was filmed at Westway Studios in Notting Hill.
Turnham Green
In West London, Blenheim Road in Turnham Green is home to writer Jamie Bennett (Colin Firth), who discovers his girlfriend conducting an affair with his brother, before he swiftly flees to France.
Vidauban
After discovering his girlfriend in flagrante, Jamie travels to the south of France to a small lakeside cottage where he can disconnect with the world and get to work writing his novel. Here he meets and bonds with Aurelia (Lucia Moniz), a Portuguese cleaner who doesn’t speak a word of English. The real cottage is in a small town called Vidauban. Plus, the lake that Jamie’s book pages have to be rescued from is a private lake at the back of the house.
Marseille
People often ask ‘where was Love Actually filmed in Portugal?’. The answer? It isn’t. Those ostensibly Portuguese scenes (featuring so many Portuguese speakers, you natural assumption is that this is a Portuguese town) towards the film’s end are actually filmed in Marseille, France. So why is everyone speaking Portuguese in Marseille? That’s a question for another article (the short answer is migration). Regardless, Jamie ultimately goes to the south of France to declare his love for Aurelia, despite neither speaking the other’s language. In the film, we see both the airport and a restaurant called Le Bar de la Marine at the Old Port.
Herne Hill
Natalie may claim to be from ‘the dodgy end of Wandsworth’, but her home was filmed on Poplar Road in Herne Hill. To get there, the PM leaves Number 10 and is driven across Chelsea’s Albert Bridge, dressed for the evening with bright shining lights.
10 Downing Street
While Richard Curtis secured a whole host of big name filming locations for Love Actually, he sadly could not get time alone with 10 Downing Street. Instead, Hugh Grant’s dancing scenes – as well as the other scenes at the PM’s residence – were filmed at Shepperton Studios.
Opening Montage
In the opening montage, these bonus locations can be spotted:
South Molton Street: This is the shopping street hung with festive lights. The real street is close to Bond Street in the West End.
Somerset House: The central Courtyard of this iconic London destination can be spotted early on, too, bedecked with its winter skating rink.
Trafalgar Square: Every year, Norway gifts the UK with a giant spruce, which we set up in Trafalgar Square – and it gets a cameo in Love Actually.

Every Christmas Eve, my family watches Love Actually. Objectively it’s not a particularly, er, good movie, but it’s well-suited for a holiday tradition. (Vox has got my back here).
Even on the eighth or ninth viewing, it’s impressive what an intricate network of characters it builds. This got me wondering how we could visualize the connections quantitatively, based on how often characters share scenes. So last night, while my family was watching the movie, I loaded up RStudio, downloaded a transcript, and started analyzing.
Parsing
It’s easy to use R to parse the raw script into a data frame, using a combination of dplyr, stringr, and tidyr. (For legal reasons I don’t want to host the script file myself, but it’s literally the first Google result for “Love Actually script.” Just copy the .doc contents into a text file called love_actually.txt).
I also set up a CSV file matching characters to their actors, which you can read in separately. (I chose 20 characters that have notable roles in the story).
Now we have a tidy data frame with one row per line, along with columns describing the scene number and characters:
From here it’s easy to count the lines-per-scene-per-character, and to turn it into a binary speaker-by-scene matrix.
Now we can get to the interesting stuff!
Analysis
Whenever we have a matrix, it’s worth trying to cluster it. Let’s start with hierarchical clustering.
This looks about right! Almost all the romantic pairs are together (Natalia/PM; Aurelia/Jamie, Harry/Karen; Karl/Sarah; Juliet/Peter; Jack/Judy) as are the friends (Colin/Tony; Billy/Joe) and family (Daniel/Sam).
One thing this tree is perfect for is giving an ordering that puts similar characters close together:
This ordering can be used to make other graphs more informative. For instance, we can visualize a timeline of all scenes:
If you’ve seen the film as many times as I have (you haven’t), you can stare at this graph and the film’s scenes spring out, like notes engraved in vinyl.
One reason it’s good to lay out raw data like this (as opposed to processed metrics like distances) is that anomalies stand out. For instance, look at the last scene: it’s the “coda” at the airport that includes 15 (!) characters. If we’re going to plot this as a network (and we totally are!) we’ve got to ignore that scene, or else it looks like almost everyone is connected to everyone else.
After that, we can create a cooccurence matrix (see here) containing how many times two characters share scenes:
This gives us a sense of how the clustering in the above graph occurred. We can then use the igraph package to plot the network.
A few patterns pop out of this visualization. We see that the majority of characters are tightly connected (often by the scenes at the school play, or by Karen (Emma Thompson), who is friends or family to many key characters). But we see Bill Nighy’s plotline occurs almost entirely separate from everyone else, and that five other characters are linked to the main network by only a single thread (Sarah’s conversation with Mark at the wedding).
One interesting aspect of this data is that this network builds over the course of the movie, growing nodes and connections as characters and relationships are introduced. There are a few ways to show this evolving network (such as an animation), but I decided to make it an interactive Shiny app, which lets the user specify the scene and shows the network that the movie has built up to that point.
(You can view the code for the Shiny app on GitHub).
Data Actually
Have you heard the complaint that we are “drowning in data”? How about the horror stories about how no one understands statistics, and we need trained statisticians as the “police” to keep people from misinterpreting their methods? It sure makes data science sound like important, dreary work.
Whenever I get gloomy about those topics, I try to spend a little time on silly projects like this, which remind me why I learned statistical programming in the first place. It took minutes to download a movie script and turn it into usable data, and within a few hours, I was able to see the movie in a new way. We’re living in a wonderful world: one with powerful tools like R and Shiny, and one overflowing with resources that are just a Google search away.
Maybe you don’t like ‘Love Actually’; you like Star Wars. Or you like baseball, or you like comparing programming languages. Or you’re interested in dating, or hip hop. Whatever questions you’re interested in, the answers are just a search and a script away. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that data actually is all around us.

Her Love Actually angle: Sarah has been desperately in love with her colleague Karl for roughly 'two years, seven months, three days and an hour and thirty minutes'. They get together at the office Christmas party but it all becomes very emotional when she's interrupted from a phone call from her brother.
What's she been doing since?
Winning awards left, right and centre. Linney, who has starred in more than 25 films and 10 TV series since Love Actually, has won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her role as a cancer patient in hit TV series The Big C. She's also been nominated for three Oscars, won Emmys for Wild Iris, Frasier, John Adams (and a Golden Globe and SAG award for this role) and starred in 2019's Netflix hit Ozark.
What's he been doing since?

Ejiofor then played Solomon Northup in Steve McQueen's Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave in 2013 (for which he won the Best Actor BAFTA and was was Oscar and Golden Globe nominated)and starred in the 2015 film The Martian. He was awarded a CBE in 2015.
In 2019, he was part of an all-star cast including Beyoncé, Donald Glover and Seth Rogen voicing the part of Scar in the Lion King remake. Ejiofor has also joined the cast for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King's short story, The Life of Chuck, which will also star Karen Gillan.
What's she been doing since?
Generally being the world-dominating actress who is Emma Thompson. Most recently, she's received a Golden Globe nomination for Late Night. Then there were further iconic parts like Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise, Nanny McPhee and Mrs Potts in the Beauty and the Beast remake.
In 2018, Thompson was made a dame. To accept the honour at Buckingham Palace, Thompson wore a Stella McCartney suit, a pair of Stan Smiths and an equal-pay badge. A true icon.
What's he been doing since?
The legendary English actor portrayed villain Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean series and won a Golden Globe for the TV show Gideon's Daughter in 2006. He's also had roles in Pride, About Time, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour.
In 2023, he scored his first Oscar nomination for his work in Living.
Her Love Actually angle:
Juliet marries Peter only to have his best friend Mark fall in love with her. This is her face when she sees Mark's creepy wedding video close-ups ('I look quite pretty actually'). Director Richard Curtis recently revealed Juliet's profession after fans demanded answers: she's an interior designer. While it was never explicitly said on screen, Curtis insists there were clues in the set, such as multiple paint swatches in her apartment.
What's she been doing since?
Well it's global megastar Keira Knightly, so a lot! Knightley, who was 17 when she starred in the film, became a huge A-List phenomenon after roles in Bend it Like Beckham!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess, Anna Karenina and more.
Most recently, she starred in Colette, The Official Secrets Act and Misbehaviour and The Imitation Game, for which she received an Oscar nomination. She's also a face of Chanel and received an OBE from the Queen in 2018.
What's he been doing since?
King of Rom Coms Hugh Grant continued to do more of those, like Bridget Jones' Diary, Music and Lyrics, Did You Hear About The Morgans?.
Over the past few years, he's gone in a different direction, with roles in the Paddington franchise, A Very English Scandal (where he recently nominated for an Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe), The Undoing (opposite Nicole Kidman, no less) and last year's hit Netflix film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
What's she been doing since?
Gavin and Stacey, of course! Page rose to fame as Barry Island-native Stacey who falls in love with Essex-born Gavin and together with James Corden, Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon became household names. The sitcom, which ended in 2010, returned for a delightful Christmas special in 2019. Since 2021, she's segued into the world of presenting alongside Dermot O'Leary on ITV's The Pet Show.

As the timeless classic Christmas romantic comedy "Love Actually" celebrates it's 20th anniversary we're taking a closer look at where the original cast are two decades after its theatrical release.

In celebration of the iconic rom-com's 20th anniversary, Studiocanal and Universal Pictures have teamed up to offer fans around the world a chance to experience the film in a whole new way as they are releasing the movie in incredible 4K clarity. The new 4K restoration will premiere on home video and digitally in the U.S. on November 21 and in France on December 6. The re-released will also debut in theaters but the date has yet to be announced.
Some of Hollywood's greatest actors starred in the hit Blockbuster that originally debuted in 2003, including the beloved Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightly, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Now many years later, we're checking in with the star-studded cast as they all paved their way to success.

Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant starred as David in Love Actually playing the role of the newly elected Prime Minister of England. The handsome politician was the first to fall in love in the movie as he quickly fell for his co-worker named Natalie who worked under him in the office. After a slow burn and being snubbed by Natalie initially, she confesses her love for him in a Christmas card writing that she is his and only is. After receiving the card David frantically searched door-to-door trying to find Natalie's home to profess his love for her until they eventually reunite and kiss at the end of the movie.
Since Love Actually, Hugh has gone on to shoot to stardom in Hollywood landing roles in at least 50 movies often playing the role of the dashing male lead. Some of Hugh's most well-known performances outside of the rom-com include Notting Hill, Bridget Jone's Diary, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and The Gentlemen. Now, the 63-year-old actor is set to star in the highly anticipated prequel Wonka starring as an Oopma Loompa.
Last year in an interview with People, Hugh said that he sat down and drunkenly watched the old rom-com with his wife. Speaking on the movie's themes, Hugh said: "It comes from the heart — it's true," he continued: "And I did drunkenly watch a bit of Love Actually a few months ago with my wife, and she was the one who said, 'Oh look, it's all about pain; it's all about suffering.'"
Emma Thompson
Emma Thompson starred as Karen in Love Actually who was David's sister and Harry's wife. Karen was the loving stay-at-home mother who was being secretly cheated on by her husband with a woman he works with. She discovered her husband's infidelity in the most heart wrenching way as she indirectly caught him buying a necklace for another woman for Christmas instead of for her but kept her sadness to herself as to not ruin her children's holiday.
Speaking about the iconic heartbreaking scene from Love Actually and why it hits home for so many viewers, Emma told TODAY: "I think it’s to do with the fact that we’re required in our lives to repress the things that we’re feeling," she continued: "So, you can be hit right between the eyes with some terrible piece of news, but you can’t react immediately because you’ve got your children there. It’s that thing of not showing — that’s why it hurts. That’s why it moves us."
Since Love Actually, Emma has gone on to become an incredibly successful actress receiving numerous accolades throughout her career spanning more than four decades including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award. Some of Emma's most well-recognized films include Nanny McPhee, Stranger Than Fiction, multiple Harry Potter movies, Cruella, Sense and Sensibility, among many others.

Colin Firth played Jamie Bennett in Love Actually who was a writer who heartbreakingly discovered that his girlfriend was cheating on him with his brother. After the devastating blow, Jamie goes on to fall in love with his housekeeper, Aurélia, and makes the grand decision to learn her home language of Portuguese. She also fell madly in love with Jamie and was secretly learning English for him. At the end of the film, Jamie tracks her down in her hometown and grandly professes his love and gets down on one knee to ask her to marry him which she happily accepts.
Since Love Actually, Colin has gone on to also find success in Hollywood as both an actor and a producer starring in at least 66 different movies. Some of Colin's most iconic performances include his roles in The King's Speech, Mama Mia!, What a Girl Wants, Bridget Jone's Diary, and many more.
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson starred as Daniel in the hit movie Love Actually, who was a widower that was concerned about the mental health of his stepson Sam following the death of his mother Joanna. In the movie, Liam is an advocate for love as he pushes his son to confess his feelings for his crush before it's too late. Daniel also goes on to find renewed love for himself as he shares a mutual crush with his son's classmate's mother.
Liam has gone on to become a renounced actor starring in at least 105 movies throughout his nearly 50-year-long career. The 71-year-old actor has been awarded a number of honors throughout his run in Hollywood including nominations for an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and two Tony Awards. Some of Liam's most famous roles include his performances in Taken, Retribution, Schindler's List, Blacklight, and many more.
Keira Knightly
Keira Knightly played Juliet in Love Actually who was the newly wed wife of Peter. During their wedding, Peter's best man Mark filmed the ceremony and was secretly in love with Juliet. She discovers this when she looks back at the footage of the wedding night and discovers that all of the shots are focused on her instead of her husband. Mark then performs the grand gesture of showing up at Juliet and Peter's doorstep with cue cards confessing his love for her. She steps out and gives him a quick kiss and he tells himself that he will finally move on with his life.
After Love Actually Keira went on to find success in Hollywood starring in at least 46 movies. Some of Keira's most well-known roles include her iconic role as Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean as well as her movies Pride & Prejudice, The Intimidation Game, Begin Again, The Duchess, The Edge of Love, and many more.
Keria is currently taking some time away from acting as she announced that she didn't want to do any big-budget films anymore because she "couldn't handle" the same that was associated with them. She said that she had previously suffered a "mental breakdown" due to being overwhelmed by the attention of paparazzi.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Thomas Brodie-Sangster starred as Sam in Love Actually as Daniel's son who is riddled with anxiety over a crush he has on his classmate. After missing his chance to impress his crush during their school's Christmas pageant, his father convinces him catch up with her at the airport to make a bold gesture. The meeting went perfectly as she surprised him by already knowing his name and giving him a peck on the cheek.
Since Love Actually, Thomas has gone on to star in at least 25 movies. Some of his most famous roles have included his performances in Maze Runner, Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy, The Last Legion, Death of a Superhero, and many more.

Her Love Actually angle: Sarah has been desperately in love with her colleague Karl for roughly 'two years, seven months, three days and an hour and thirty minutes'. They get together at the office Christmas party but it all becomes very emotional when she's interrupted from a phone call from her brother.
What's she been doing since?
Winning awards left, right and centre. Linney, who has starred in more than 25 films and 10 TV series since Love Actually, has won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her role as a cancer patient in hit TV series The Big C. She's also been nominated for three Oscars, won Emmys for Wild Iris, Frasier, John Adams (and a Golden Globe and SAG award for this role) and starred in 2019's Netflix hit Ozark.
What's he been doing since?
Winning an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG award for The King's Speech, reprising the role of Bridget Jones' love interest Mr Darcy - and starring opposite Hugh Grant again in the process - as well as multiple other film roles like in The Kingsman franchise.
In 2020, he starred in the Oscar-winning film 1917, featured opposite Stanley Tucci in the hugely-anticipated Supernova and was in the remake of children's classic The Secret Garden.
What's he been doing since?
A number of things! Ejiofor had the lead role in Kinky Boots in 2005 and was then nominated for the BAFTA rising star award a year later, losing out to James McAvoy.In 2008, he won a prestigious Olivier award for Best Actor for his performance in Shakespeare's Othello.
Ejiofor then played Solomon Northup in Steve McQueen's Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave in 2013 (for which he won the Best Actor BAFTA and was was Oscar and Golden Globe nominated)and starred in the 2015 film The Martian. He was awarded a CBE in 2015.
In 2019, he was part of an all-star cast including Beyoncé, Donald Glover and Seth Rogen voicing the part of Scar in the Lion King remake. Ejiofor has also joined the cast for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King's short story, The Life of Chuck, which will also star Karen Gillan.
What's she been doing since?
Generally being the world-dominating actress who is Emma Thompson. Most recently, she's received a Golden Globe nomination for Late Night. Then there were further iconic parts like Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise, Nanny McPhee and Mrs Potts in the Beauty and the Beast remake.
In 2018, Thompson was made a dame. To accept the honour at Buckingham Palace, Thompson wore a Stella McCartney suit, a pair of Stan Smiths and an equal-pay badge. A true icon.

He's also had roles in Pride, About Time, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour.
In 2023, he scored his first Oscar nomination for his work in Living.
Her Love Actually angle:
Juliet marries Peter only to have his best friend Mark fall in love with her. This is her face when she sees Mark's creepy wedding video close-ups ('I look quite pretty actually'). Director Richard Curtis recently revealed Juliet's profession after fans demanded answers: she's an interior designer. While it was never explicitly said on screen, Curtis insists there were clues in the set, such as multiple paint swatches in her apartment.
What's she been doing since?
Well it's global megastar Keira Knightly, so a lot! Knightley, who was 17 when she starred in the film, became a huge A-List phenomenon after roles in Bend it Like Beckham!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess, Anna Karenina and more.
Most recently, she starred in Colette, The Official Secrets Act and Misbehaviour and The Imitation Game, for which she received an Oscar nomination. She's also a face of Chanel and received an OBE from the Queen in 2018.
What's he been doing since?
King of Rom Coms Hugh Grant continued to do more of those, like Bridget Jones' Diary, Music and Lyrics, Did You Hear About The Morgans?.
Over the past few years, he's gone in a different direction, with roles in the Paddington franchise, A Very English Scandal (where he recently nominated for an Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe), The Undoing (opposite Nicole Kidman, no less) and last year's hit Netflix film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

When the 2003 Christmas classic Love Actually entered the world, it was like a stuffed stocking, filled to the brim with some of Britain’s greatest actors.
From Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson to Alan Rickman, it attracted some of the best performers of the era.
The film also launched the careers of Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson, who were children when they starred in the romcom.
It’s been almost 20 years since Richard Curtis’s film was released, and they’ve all been very busy since then.
Some of the stars of the movie have gone on to work with Curtis again, while others have had huge franchise roles or become synonymous with certain characters, like Martin Freeman’s Dr John Watson in Sherlock.
Here’s a rundown on the Love Actually cast’s varied careers, from 2003 to now…
Bill Nighy
After playing rock and roll legend Billy Mack in Love Actually, Nighy went on to star as boat captain Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as Radio Rock boss Quention in The Boat that Rocked, and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour. He collaborated with Love Actually filmmaker Curtis again with About Time and other career highlights have included roles in Pride and Emma. He most recently starred as a terminally ill man in the critically praised, Fifties-set movie Living.
Colin Firth
Having played loved-up writer Jamie in Love Actually, a part that came after Firth starred in Bridget Jones’s Diary, the actor reprised his role as Mark Darcy in more of Curtis’s Bridget Jones movies. He then starred memorably in Mamma Mia! and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, as well as in A Single Man, The King’s Speech (for which he won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Actor) and 1917. He will next appear in Sam Mendes’s Empire of Light alongside Olivia Colman.
Emma Thompson
The Love Actually scene where Emma Thompson holds back tears as she listens to Joni Mitchell is one of the best and most memorable in the film. After portraying Karen, Thompson played Professor Sybill Trelawney in numerous Harry Potter movies, and also starred in Nanny McPhee, Stranger than Fiction, I Am Legend, An Education, Bridget Jones’s Baby, and Cruella, to name just a few. Her latest role is as the formidable Miss Trunchbull in the musical film Matilda.
Liam Neeson
In Love Actually, Neeson’s Daniel was immersed in grief. Much of the rest of Neeson’s characters have been immersed in action – from his role as the desperate father in Taken, to parts in Batman Begins and The Grey. He’s also popped up in a Coen brothers movie – The Ballad of Buster Scruggs – and episodes of Derry Girls and Atlanta.
Kris Marshall
Since his role as Colin, “god of sex”, in Love Actually, Marshall has starred in films such as The Merchant of Venice and Death at a Funeral, as well as reprised his role as Nick Harper in My Family. He also had a long-running role as DI Humphrey Goodman in the TV drama Death in Paradise. He can next be seen in that show’s spin-off Beyond Paradise.
Martin Freeman
Freeman has gone from playing body double John in Love Actually to starring in the action-comedies Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to name a few. He’s also appeared in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy as Bilbo Baggins, and also had role in Marvel’s Black Panther. His latest project is its sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. He’s perhaps most famous, though, for playing Sherlock Holmes’s sidekick Dr John Watson in Sherlock, and Tim in The Office (the latter of which ended just after Love Actually came out).
Keira Knightley
After playing newlywed Juliet in Love Actually, Knightley has gone on to star in films such as Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, The Imitation Game, Official Secrets, Greed, and Silent Night. She has played Elizabeth Swann in many Pirates of the Caribbean movies and her next film is Boston Strangler, in which she plays the journalist who investigated the famous 1960s case.
Joanna Page
Page hopped from playing an awkward body double in Love Actually to portraying the lead role of Stacey Shipman in the beloved sitcom Gavin & Stacey. Since then, she’s popped up in numerous TV shows including Bedlam, The Syndicate and Breathless.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Since playing newlywed Peter in Love Actually, Ejiofor has been busy. He’s starred in numerous Spike Lee movies, including She Hate Me and Inside Man, as well as the films Children of Men, American Gangster, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange, and The Lion King. His next project is the sci-fi romcom The Pod Generation, which he appears in alongside Emilia Clarke.
Andrew Lincoln
Lincoln’s Mark holding up those signs while professing his love for Keira Knightley’s Juliet will never leave the collective psyche – but the actor has had many roles since Love Actually. He’s starred in films including Scenes of a Sexual Nature and Made in Dagenham, as well as the TV shows Afterlife, Strike Back and Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. His most famous role is as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead.
Hugh Grant
Grant played dancing prime minister David in Love Actually, after having collaborated with Richard Curtis many times previously. Since Love Actually, he’s starred in the movies Florence Foster Jenkins, Paddington 2 and The Gentlemen, and his newest movie is Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. On TV, he’s appeared as disgraced politician Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal and the US thriller The Undoing.
Alan Rickman
When Rickman starred as flirty design agency boss Harry in Love Actually, he was already adored by many for his role as Snape in the Harry Potter movies, which he continued after the romcom came out in 2003. He also followed the film up with roles as Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He died of pancreatic cancer aged 69 in 2016.
Martine McCutcheon
McCutcheon starred as a junior member of the prime ministerial staff, Natalie, in Love Actually, but before that she was known for playing Tiffany Mitchell in EastEnders. After Love Actually, in which she copped off with Hugh Grant’s PM,she starred in the TV shows Spooks and Echo Beach, and she has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox and released a fitness DVD.
Laura Linney
After playing timid office worker Sarah in Love Actually, Linney had roles in the movies Driving Lessons, The Savages, and Nocturnal Animals, to name just a few. She had a busy career in TV, too, with parts in Frasier, The Big C and Tales of the City. Her biggest hit since Love Actually has been the Netflix thriller Ozark, in which she plays crime family matriarch Wendy Byrde.
Rowan Atkinson
After playing a perfectionist shop assistant in Love Actually, Atkinson reprised his role in two Johnny English sequels, several Mr Bean movies and also starred in the film Keeping Mum and the TV series Maigret. One of his most recent projects was the Netflix show Man vs Bee, and he can soon be seen in Wonka, alongside Olivia Colman and Sally Hawkins.
January Jones
Jones played one of the American party girls, Jeannie, in Love Actually. After that, the actor starred in the films Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, The Boat that Rocked, Unknown and X-Men: First Class, to name a few. On TV, she became famous for her role as Betty Draper in Mad Men, and has also appeared in The Last Man on Earth, The Politician and Spinning Out.
Olivia Olson
After playing schoolgirl singer Joanna in Love Actually, aged just 11, Olson has voiced Vanessa Doofenshmirtz in cartoon Phineas and Ferb and Marceline the Vampire Queen in Adventure Time. She is also a writer, having written the Boom! Studios graphic novel Marcy and Simon.
Billy Bob Thornton
Thornton portrayed the evil US president in Love Actually, and after the film went on to star in movies from Friday Night Lights to Chrystal. He also played Billy McBride in the legal drama Goliath and Lorne Malvo in the Fargo TV series. One of his next projects is sci-fi movie The Electric State, led by Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.
Lúcia Moniz
Before Love Actually, Moniz represented Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996. Since playing Aurelia, the maid who falls in love with Colin Firth’s Jamie, Moniz has appeared in comedy The Right Juice and the Portuguese movies Fatima and Listen. She has also starred in many Portuguese TV series.
Abdul Salis

Fans of 2003's Christmas classic Love Actually only have another 24 hours to wait until the sequel is aired on BBC One as part of Comic Relief on Friday.
And ahead of the hotly anticipated 10 minute follow-up, writer/director Richard Curtis' partner Emma Freud has reminded the planet that the kiss that saw moviegoers swooning over Colin Firth in the original was orchestrated by her fair hand - or rather, thumb.
Speaking to Page Six, the Love Actually script editor has re-instated that arguably the most romantic moment in the entire film was choreographed by her; the moment Firth, who plays Jamie, proposes to Lucia Moniz (Aurélia) in the Portuguese restaurant she waitresses in.

'My strongest memory of filming was how much it embarrassed my 7-year old when she saw us rehearsing my signature move with Colin (brushing a thumb gently over her bottom lip before leaning in), again and again. And again,' she recalled.
'I was the script editor for the movie. One of my other roles was as the "Kissing Consultant". It IS a proper job, it IS!'
Freud was referring specifically to the kiss, which was built up throughout the entire movie as Jamie and Aurélia struggled to communicate due to their language barrier, all the while falling in love with one another.
In the moment they finally lock lips, in front of the staff and patrons of a crowded eatery, Jamie is seen brushing his thumb against the stunning brunette's lips before finally kissing her - having learnt Portuguese in order to propose to her.
Freud also mentioned this side-role of 'Kissing Consultant' in December 2015 when she live-tweeted whilst watching the film back again.
'My biggest moment coming up. In the restaurant in Portugal (was Marseille actually). I WAS THE KISSING CONSULTANT. and that is a real job. I 'designed' the kiss between Colin Firth and the Portuguese girl. My signature move? His thumb on her lip before they snog. #boom. That thumb! That was 100% my idea,' she typed.
Freud also joked that she 'literally slept her way into that job', given that she was dating Curtis at the time.
'I can highly recommend it as a way of operating,' she added.
The Love Actually reunion finally released a teaser trailer on Wednesday.
And fans were delighted to see a plethora of their favourite characters from the original movie taking part in the charity special in the short teaser, which sees them joking about who has aged the best over time.
The stars of the film - which includes the likes ofKeira Knightley, Martine McCutcheon, Andrew Lincoln, Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson - have returned to their roles after 14 years.
And as a way of promoting the 10-minute 'sequel' ahead of it's transmission on Friday's Red Nose Day broadcast, the cast have taken inspiration from one scene in the original film in which Andrew Lincoln's character Mark professed his love for Keira Knightley's Juliet by silently sharing messages on pieces of card.
The video explains that 'on Red Nose Day the unexpected things happen' and asks 'which one of us [the cast] has aged best?'
Hugh Grant pokes fun at his ex-Bridget Jones co-star Colin Firth by saying that the years haven't been kindest to Colin Firth.
Liam Neeson jokes on his piece of card: 'I think it's obviously Liam!'
Bill Nighy quips that he hasn't really aged, while Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played youngster Sam in the original, holds up a sign saying: 'Whatever, I've grown up!'
Indeed he has, given that he was just 13 when he shot the original movie, alongside on-screen crush Joanna, played by Olivia Olsen who was 11 at the time and is now 24.
This prompts her to hold up a card after Thomas does, which reads: 'So have I!'
This teaser comes after another brief clip was released online last week featuring just Andrew Lincoln.
The now 43-year-old hunk was at it again with his pieces of card, which this time read: 'Hello, I just wanted to ask, without hope or agenda (and just because it's nearly Red Nose Day) that you'll join us for a very special reunion called Red Nose Day Actually on Friday 24th March BBC One...'
He then switched to the last card which read 'Actually' before breaking his brooding aura by cracking a huge smile.
Keira was pictured filming Love Actually's Comic Relief special for the first time two weeks ago, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, who played her on-screen husband Peter, and Andrew.
The 31-year-old movie star's appearance with the pair has whetted fans' appetite further, leaving them to wonder how their story has developed given the love triangle that they were involved in in the original.
Emma Freud, who's married to director and writer Richard Curtis has been busy tweeting behind-the-scenes snaps from the set of the film, posting a snapshot of Kate Moss on set alongside the caption: 'Oh. What's SHE doing here?'
Richard Curtis said Good Morning Britain recently: 'Someone's died, someone's got lots of kids, someone's been voted out of office and voted back into office.'
Also pictured filming during the last few weeks, were Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon, whose characters David and Natalie are now married.
During a break from filming, Hugh, who plays the Prime Minister told the camera: 'It's going very badly. I can't remember my lines or the character. Everyone hates me.'
Colin Firth, who plays Jamie, was spotted on the set at the BBC Langham Place Piazza in central London last week.
He seemed to be there with Lucia Moniz - the pair reprising their roles as author Jamie and his Portuguese lover Aurelia.
Emma Thompson has ruled out a part in the Comic Relief special as she can find 'no comedy' since the death of her co-star, Alan Rickman.
She told PA: 'It's too soon. It's absolutely right because it's supposed to be for Comic Relief but there isn't much comic relief in the loss of our dear friend really only just over a year ago.'
Love Actually followed the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their romantic endeavors in various loosely-linked tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London.
The stars have since moved on to big things, with the likes of Thomas Brodie-Sangster going on to star as Jojen Reed in Game Of Thrones - he had a recurring role in the HBO series, as a young heir tasked with helping to protect Bran Stark.
He also stars in the hit sci-fi adaptation Maze Runner, the third and final instalment of which is due to hit cinemas in 2018.
Liam Neeson's career as an action star has gone from strength-to-strength, appearing most notably in the Taken franchise.
Martine McCutcheon played Prime Minister Hugh Grant's love interest, Natalie, who was well known for her 'pretty sizeable' rear - she now appears as a regular panelist on Loose Women.
Keira Kinghtley's star continued to rise and rise after she appeared as Juliet in Love Actually at the age of 18, going on to appear in the Pirates Of The Carribbean franchise and being Oscar-nominated for Pride & Predjudice and The Imitation Game.
Andrew Lincoln now helms the cast of AMC's smash hit zombie series The Walking Dead, which will begin production on its eighth season later this year.
Chiwetel Ejiofor has become one of the most successful of the film's alumni, nominated and winner a plethora of awards for films such as 12 Years A Slave and American Gangster.
Hugh Grant's career has continued to soar, having just been nominated for 12 awards for his supporting role in Florence Foster Jenkins alongside Meryl Streep.
Olivia Olsen is now an LA-based actress and singer and is part of the cast behind two animated series - the Cartoon Network's Adventure Time, in which she voices Marceline the Vampire Queen, and Disney's Phineas and Ferb, in which she voices Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
Olivia also regularly posts her own music on her YouTube channel, which has over 20,000 subscribers, and in 2013 she released her debut EP entitled Beauty Is Chaos.
Richard Curtis also said of the reboot: 'Over the years, I've enjoyed doing Red Nose Day specials of TV things I've worked on - Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley and Mr Bean.
'It seemed like a fun idea this year to do a special sketch based one of my films, since Red Nose Day is now in both the UK and America.
'I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to.
'Who has aged best? - I guess that's the big question... or is it so obviously Liam?'
Richard added that he was thrilled that so many of the big stars from the movie were available to shoot the mini-movie: 'We've been delighted and grateful that so many of the cast are around and able to take part - and it'll certainly be a nostalgic moment getting back together and recreating their characters 14 years later.
'We hope to make something that'll be fun...
'...Very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day - and which we hope will help bring lots of viewers and cash to the Red Nose Day shows.'
The writer/director spoke to the Daily Beast in 2013 about why he felt the film had done so well.
He said: 'The film has grown in popularity. I don’t remember feeling it was that beloved when it came out! There was a muddle of motivations.
I certainly knew what I was doing in the romance department by the time I did the Bridget Jones films and Notting Hill. Because I was so well versed in those, I started to think of other stories—the Colin Firth one and the Hugh Grant one, which I conceived as two separate whole films I could write.
'Then I decided I didn’t want to do that, and realized that a huge number of films I loved were multi-story films, like Short Cuts, Nashville, Smoke, and a lot of Woody Allen’s movies during his middle-period that have a lot of different storylines.'

The Christmas classic was first released in 2003 - but what are the cast up to now?
The only way we know it’s truly Christmas is when someone puts Love Actually on – or you stumble across it on the TV.
At the risk of making you feel old, it’s been a whopping 20 years since the star-studded film hit the cinemas, giving us Hugh Grant’s infamous Prime Minister dance and the sweetest proclamation of love from Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Sam.
With two decades having now passed since the classic was born, we're taking a look at where the cast of the film are now.
Listen to Heart Xmas on Global Player, the official Heart app
Thomas Brodie-Sangster / Sam
Thomas Brodie-Sangster is now 33-years-old, with his career since Love Actually going from strength to strength.
Since the breakout role, Thomas has gone on to star in The Maze Runner, Nanny McPhee, The Queen's Gambit, Game Of Thrones and most recently The Artful Dodger.
The star is also getting ready to tie the knot with actress Talulah Riley, who he announced his engagement to earlier this year.
Heike Makatsch / Mia
Since appearing in Love Actually, actress Heike Makatsch has gone on to star in a range of German TV and film projects.
Heike has also turned her hand to music, releasing an album with her husband, musician Max Schroder, in 2009.
In 2013, she starred in a film adaption of the best-selling novel The Book Thief.
Emma Thompson / Karen
Emma Thompson was already a well-established and highly respected actress before taking on the role of Karen in Love Actually.
Since the film was released in 2003, Emma has gone on to star in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, Cruella, Nanny McPhee, Matilda, Last Christmas, the Harry Potter film series and Saving Mr. Banks - to name only a few.
Andrew Lincoln / Mark
Andrew Lincoln, now 50-years-old, became a household name after his role in Love Actually.
Between 2010 and 2022, he took on his biggest role yet at Rick Grimes in the popular zombie apocalypse series The Walking Dead.
Olivia Olson / Joanna
Olivia Olson is now 31-years-old, being only 11 when she starred as Joanna in Love Actually back in 2003.
Her roles since the hit film include Phineas and Ferb and Adventure Time.
She's also continued to show off her incredible singing voice, and in October 2019, Olivia made it to the semi-finals of The X-Factor: Celebrity.
Joanna Page / Judy
Following her role as Judy in Love Actually, Joanna Page went on to book her biggest role to date in beloved series Gavin & Stacey where she played Stacey West.
The series ran from 2007 to 2010, with the cast reuniting for a special one-off episode on Christmas Day in 2019.
Joanna is now married to actor James Thornton who she shares three children with.
Hugh Grant / Prime Minister David
Hugh Grant, now 63-years-old, was already a very successful actor before taking on the role as Prime Minister David in Love Actually.
Prior to the Christmas hit, he had main roles in Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary and Four Weddings and a Funeral – to name only a few.
Since 2003, Hugh's career has only continued to grow in films such as The Gentleman, Paddington, Operation Fortune, Dungeons & Dragons and Florence Foster Jenkins.
His most recent role is in Wonka where he plays the Oompa-Loopma alongside Timothée Chalamet.
Keira Knightley / Juliet
The year Love Actually was released was a huge year for Keira Knightley's career as - as well as the hit Christmas film - she also starred in the first Pirates of The Caribbean film.
She later starred in main roles in Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, The Duchess, and the other Pirates of The Caribbean films. Her most recent project was in 2023, when she starred in Boston Strangler.
In 2013, she married musician James Righton and later the couple welcomed two children.
Martine McCutcheon / Natalie
One of Martine McCutcheon's biggest accolades since starring in the festive classic, is winning an Olivier Award for her role as Eliza in My Fair Lady in the West End.
The 47-year-old has also landed herself a spot as a panelist on Loose Women over the years.
In 2012, Martine married Jack McManus and three years later welcomed a son.
Laura Linney / Sarah
Already a star before her role in Love Actually, Laura Linney's career has gone on to grow since then.
Prior to her role as Sarah, Laura had starred alongside Jim Carey in The Truman Show, as well as Richard Gere in Primal Fear.
Since the film was released, Laura has gone on to star in movies as well as TV – her most prominent being in Netflix series Ozark.
She's also been nominated for three Oscar Awards during her career, the first in 2001 for You Can Count On Me, the second in 2005 for Kinsey and the third in 2008 for The Savages.
Lúcia Moniz / Aurélia
Lúcia Moniz is now 47-years-old and has gone on to continue her acting career in Portugal.
She's also a successful musician, releasing five albums throughout her career.
Liam Neeson / Daniel
Liam Neeson was already one of the biggest actors on the planet when he took on the role of Daniel in Love Actually.
His biggest role before the Christmas film was Schindler's List - which earned him an Oscars nomination – but he was also known for starring in the Star Wars films, Gangs of New York and Excalibur.
Since 2003, Liam's career has continued with the actor starring in the Taken trilogy, The Grey, Batman Begins, A Monster Calls and Widows.
Martin Freeman / John
Martin Freeman is another huge actor in Hollywood, but it all started with his role in Ricky Gervais' The Office and his memorable role in Love Actually.
Now 52-years-old, Martin has starred in a wide range of TV shows including Sherlock, The Responder, Breeders and Fargo.
He's also been in some of the biggest films of the last 20 years, including The Hobbit Trilogy, Black Panther, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Shaun of the Dead and Captain America.

When the stars of Love Actually reunited last year for its 20th anniversary, many fans felt the cast hadn't changed a bit.
Starring some of Hollywood's biggest hitters, including Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Bill Nighty, the wintery flick, released in 2003, has become synonymous with Christmas. Written and directed by Richard Curtis, the iconic film received mixed reviews from critics, but despite this it has become a modern day must-watch.
Last year, Diane Sawyer hosted an ABC special called The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later, where she caught up with some of the stars of the film. But what happened to the other actors who starred in the romantic comedy? Here we look back at what's changed since 2003.
Harry - Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman, perhaps most known for going on to star as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, played Emma Thompson's husband in Love Actually.
The so-called 'Bad Harry' found himself in the doghouse after falling for the charms of Mia and breaking his wife's heart in the process. But in real life, actor Alan was far from a lothario, staying married to childhood sweetheart Rima Horton until his death in 2016.
Sadly, the actor passed away aged 69 in January 2016 after suffering a minor stroke in August 2015, before doctors discovered he was suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Daniel - Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson played Sam's grieving step-father, Daniel, who is navigating life after his wife died. Tragically, six years later the actor's own life was hit by tragedy when his wife Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident.
The actress had been taking a beginners ski lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort near Montreal when she fell and hit her head. After initially laughing off the incident, Natasha was rushed to hospital in New York after complaining of agonising headaches.
"I was told she was brain dead... She was on life support and stuff," Liam told 60 Minutes in 2014. "And I went in... and told her I loved her. I said, 'Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You've banged your head. It's – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that's – this is what's gone down.'" Sadly, Natasha died from an epidural hematoma two days later.
Liam, now 71, threw himself into his career following the tragic loss of his wife, starring in many thrillers – including Taken, The A-Team, Wrath of the Titans Non-Stop and The Commuter. He has never remarried.
Mark - Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln, now 50, played the part of Mark, who was hopelessly in love with his best friend's wife Juliet, played by Keira Knightley. The This Life star went on to become a huge Hollywood star thanks to his role as Rick Grimes in blockbuster zombie apocalypse series, The Walking Dead.
In 2019, Andrew starred in drama Penguin Bloom and later played the part of Rick in a spinoff of The Walking Dead, which was released this year.
Mia - Heike Makatsch
Heike Makatsch played Mia, the office femme fatale who seduced her married boss Harry, and convinced him to buy her a sexy Christmas present which wife Karen then found.
The German actress went on to make a name for herself as Lisa Addison in 2002's Resident Evil and Liesel's mother in The Book Thief in 2013.
In 2020 Heike starred as a journalist and single mother in a crime drama called Zero, directed by Jochen Alexander Freydank.
Sam - Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Now aged 33, Thomas Brodie-Sangster went on to have incredible success as an actor after playing young Sam in Love Actually.
He starred in Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and landed the coveted role of Jojen Reed in Game of Thrones. He got engaged in July this year to dating Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley, who he starred in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols biopic Pistol with. Thomas later confirmed the couple hadn't started dating until filming wrapped.
Joanna - Olivia Olson
American actress Olivia Olson impressed viewers with her incredible rendition of All I Want For Christmas. After Love Actually, the Californian native starred in Disney's long-running TV show Phineas And Ferb from 2007 to 2015.
She also voiced Bliss in the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls, and has narrated characters in a number of video games such as the Adventure Time franchises' games and Lego Dimensions. Now aged 31, she also took part in X-Factor Celebrity in 2019, but was left in tears when she was voted off in the first live show.
Karl - Rodrigo Santoro
Hunky Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro played the shy office worker who Laura Linney's character Sarah fell in love with. Since then, Rodrigo has had steady work, with stand-out roles in 300 and Focus. He also appeared on the TV show Lost as Paulo, and HBO's Westworld as Hector.
Now aged 48, he is still acting and is starred in American supernatural teen drama series Wolf Pack alongside Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2023.
Judy - Joanna Page
Joanna Page plays stunt double Judy who falls in love with Martin Freeman's character John. The Welsh actress went on to star as one of the titular characters in James Corden's Gavin and Stacey.
Joanna has continued to act, starring as Bethan Stubbins in the 2020 movie Doolittle alongside Robert Downey Jr. Now 46, the mum-of-four has also co-presented BBC One consumer series Shop Well for less alongside Melanie Sykes and recently popped up Celebrity Antiques Roadshow alongside Go Compare star, Wynne Evans.
Aurelia - Lucia Moniz
Lucia Moniz made a name for herself as Colin Firth's character Jamie's Portuguese cleaner. Before starring in the film she was actually a singer, famously representing her country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996.
With five albums under her belt to date, she returned to the music industry after filming. Now aged 47, she has also continued to star in TV shows, most recently as Isabel Da Paz in the Portuguese telenovela Na Corda Bamba.
Colin - Kris Marshall
Kris Marshall played Colin Frisell, who travelled to America because he struggled to find "English girls". The 50-year-old has had a hugely successful career, and many will also recognise him for his role as Nick Harper in the TV series My Family.
He has also starred as Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice and as DI Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise. The actor reprised his role as the hapless cop in Beyond Paradise this year in which he reunites with his Death In Paradise co-star, Sally Bretton.

Love actually is, still, all around.
This holiday season marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved Christmas film "Love Actually," which first debuted in November 2003.
The 2-hour movie follows multiple love stories, most of which take place in the U.K., that overlap and intertwine with one another.
Here's a look back at the actors when the movie was first released, and what the cast looks like now.
Hugh Grant, 63
As the newly minted prime minister of the U.K., Hugh Grant's character David quickly realizes he's falling for young staffer Natalie. Though taboo to be dating someone within the inner government circle, David's feelings can only be suppressed for so long, and the two are eventually caught kissing at the local primary school's Christmas play.
Martine McCutcheon, 47
Martine McCutcheon played Natalie, the prime minister's striking but slightly awkward junior staffer, in the 2003 film. From the moment she meets David, Natalie is at a loss for words and her feelings towards him only grow stronger over time.
Emma Thompson, 64
Emma Thompson's character Karen is the sister of the prime minster and married to Harry, who she shares two kids with. The holiday season seems pleasant for Karen until she notices her husband having eyes for his secretary. Upon receiving a disappointing Christmas present, she faces the harsh reality of her situation and is faced with a decision: to leave Harry on Christmas or keep on a brave face for her family.
Alan Rickman, died at 69
Alan Rickman, who died in January 2016 from cancer, played Harry, Karen's husband. He's emotionally cheating on his wife, at the very least, with his secretary Mia, who attempts to seduce him any chance she gets. Though he seems to feel guilty about his actions, Harry ends up putting a major rift in his family life.
Heike Makatsch, 52
Heike Makatsch portrayed Mia in the film, the chic young secretary for Rickman's character Harry. Though it's never shown that the two get together, Mia makes her interest known as Harry purchases her a stunning necklace for Christmas.
Bill Nighy, 73
As the one of the biggest rockstars at the time, Billy Mack, played by Bill Nighy, embraces his reputation as the raunchy, goofy performer — continuously saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. He comes out with a Christmas version of his hit song, which gains massive traction. But by the end of the film, he realizes that all the people suddenly in love with his lifestyle don't appreciate him for his true self like those closest to him.
Gregor Fisher, 69
Billy Mack's manager, Joe, played by Gregor Fisher, is truly the only person who's with the singer at all times and understands him like no one else. Joe has to clean up Billy's mess as he constantly makes inappropriate remarks, but ultimately loves the singer and his job.
Liam Neeson, 71
After his wife dies, Liam Neeson's character Daniel is left with his stepson, Sam, and attempts to navigate this new life. Daniel and Sam grow as a father-son duo and become best friends, as Daniel helps the young kid win over the girl of his dreams at school.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 33
Thomas Brodie-Sangster portrayed Sam, who decides to take his stepdad's advice in chasing down the love of his life, an American student named Joanna, by learning to play the drums. In the primary school's play, Sam whips out his newfound musical talent. However, after thinking his efforts weren't enough to win Joanna over before she returns to the U.S., Sam takes his mission to Heathrow Airport.
Olivia Olson, 31
Sam's love interest Joanna is played by Olivia Olsen. Johanna is London's new girl who's originally from the States and has to go back by the end of the movie — giving Sam a timeline for swooning.
Colin Firth, 63
Colin Firth's character Jamie has a reality check when he walks in on his fiancée cheating on him with his brother and decides to take a trip to the countryside to focus on his writing. Amid his writer's block, Jamie unexpectedly meets Aurelia, a Portuguese woman who is working as a housekeeper at the cottage. Aurelia doesn't speak a lick of English, and Jamie doesn't speak Portuguese, but the two have a connection that runs deeper than language. Though they said but a few words to one another, Jamie decides once he's back in London that he can't live without Aurelia and travels to find her.
Lúcia Moniz, 47
Aurelia, played by Lúcia Moniz, develops mutual feelings for Jamie while working as the cottage's housekeeper and attempts to take an interest in his writing, despite their language barrier. After the two part ways to return home, Jaime seeks out Aurelia to propose in Portuguese, only to find that she's been learning English.
Keira Knightley, 38

Love Actually is a 2003 romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The Christmas film features an ensemble cast, composed predominantly of British actors, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous projects. An international co-production of the United Kingdom, United States, and France, it was mostly filmed on-location in London. The film delves into different aspects of love as shown through 10 separate stories involving a variety of individuals, many of whom are interlinked as the plot progresses. The story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place in the New Year.
The film was released in the US on 14 November 2003 and a week later in the UK during its theatrical run. Love Actually was a box-office success, grossing $245 million worldwide on a budget of $40 million. The film received mixed reviews and a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
A made-for-television short film sequel, Red Nose Day Actually, aired in two different versions on BBC One and NBC in 2017.
A voice-over opens the film, commenting that whenever the narrator gets gloomy about the state of the world, he thinks of the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport, and the pure and uncomplicated love of lovers, friends and families welcoming their loved ones. He also points out that the messages from the 9/11 victims were messages of love and not hate. The story then switches among the interconnecting "love stories" of many people:
With his long-time manager Joe (Gregor Fisher), rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a Christmas version of the Troggs' 1967 song "Love Is All Around", titling it "Christmas Is All Around". Although believing the record is terrible, Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single, which it does. He foregoes a victory party hosted by Elton John to celebrate Christmas with Joe, getting drunk and watching porn.
Juliet and Peter's wedding (Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor) is videotaped by the best man, Mark (Andrew Lincoln), where a surprise band plays the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" as they walk out of the church. Although the couple believes Mark dislikes Juliet, it is later revealed that he is actually in love with her.
When he evades her requests to see the video he shot at the wedding, she shows up at his flat. Juliet insists she wants them to be friends, but when she views the wedding video Mark recorded, she sees many extreme close-ups of herself and a few of Peter's face. She realises Mark's true feelings towards her. After an uncomfortable silence, Mark blurts out that he acts coldly toward her out of "self-preservation".
On Christmas Eve, Juliet answers the doorbell to find Mark carrying a boombox playing a Christmas carol and large cue cards. While Peter is inside watching television, Mark shows a message of his love to Juliet through a series of cue cards. As he walks away down the street, Juliet runs after him, gives him a quick kiss, and returns inside. Mark walks away, uttering "Enough", to imply he can be content as friends.
Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) is pushed by his girlfriend to attend Juliet and Peter's wedding alone as she is ill. He returns before the reception to check on her, discovering she is having sex with his brother. Crushed, Jamie withdraws to his French cottage, where he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), who does not speak English. Despite not sharing a common language, a mutual attraction grows.
Jamie returns to the United Kingdom, realises he is in love with Aurélia and begins learning Portuguese. He returns to France to find her and ends up walking through town with her father and sister, gathering additional people as they walk to her waitressing job. In basic, and often grammatically incorrect, Portuguese, he declares his love for her and proposes. She says yes in broken English, showing she too had been studying English "just in cases", as the crowd erupts in applause.
Harry (Alan Rickman) is the managing director of a design agency. Mia (Heike Makatsch) is his secretary. Harry is happily married to Karen (Emma Thompson), a stay-at-home mother. They have two children, Bernard and Daisy (Lulu Popplewell). Mia behaves in an overtly sexual way with him at the office and asks him for a Christmas present. At the company Christmas party held at Mark's gallery, they dance closely.
While Christmas shopping, Harry calls Mia and asks what she wants for Christmas. He is almost caught by his wife purchasing an expensive necklace with a gold heart pendant from the jewelry department when the salesman, Rufus (Rowan Atkinson), takes an inordinate amount of time to wrap it. Later, Karen finds the necklace in Harry's coat pocket and assumes it is for her. Opening a similarly shaped box on Christmas Eve, she is heartbroken to find it is a Joni Mitchell CD, realises he bought the necklace for someone else, and cries in their bedroom alone. She keeps a happy face so as not to ruin her family's holiday. She confronts Harry and asks what he would do if he were her. She feels he has made a mockery of their marriage and of her. Harry comes clean and admits that he has been foolish.
David (Hugh Grant), Karen's brother and the recently elected Prime Minister, is single. Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) is a new junior member of the household staff at 10 Downing Street. During a meeting with the US president (Billy Bob Thornton), they pass Natalie, and the president makes inappropriate comments to David about her. Later, David walks in on Natalie who is serving tea and biscuits to the president, and finds him kissing her. Natalie seems embarrassed, and the president has a sly grin on his face. At the following joint press conference, David is uncharacteristically assertive while taking a stand against the president's intimidation techniques.
Feeling uncomfortable around Natalie, David has her moved to another position. He is spurred to action on Christmas Eve when he finds a Christmas card from her in his red box, declaring that she is his and only his. He finds her after a door-to-door search of her street. Her entire family is on their way to a multi-school Christmas play, and he offers to drive them so he can talk to her. As Natalie sneaks him into the school, he runs into his heartbroken sister, Karen, who believes he is there for his niece and nephew. As David and Natalie try to keep from being seen and watch from backstage, they finally kiss. Everyone sees them kissing as the curtain rises.
Daniel (Liam Neeson), Karen's close friend, mourns the recent death of his wife, Joanna, as he tries to care for his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster). Sam has fallen for an American classmate, also named Joanna (Olivia Olson), and after talking with his stepfather, decides to learn the drums to accompany her in the big finale for their school's Christmas pageant at Karen and Harry's children's school. Sam feels he has missed his chance to impress her, but Daniel convinces him to try to tell Joanna how he feels at the airport before she returns to the US. Sam slips through airport security and catches up with her. She acknowledges him by name, which surprises him. Sam returns to Daniel to tell him, and Joanna follows him, surprising him again, and kisses him on the cheek.
A subplot in this storyline involves Daniel stating a few times his wish to date Claudia Schiffer. Eventually, Daniel meets Carol (portrayed by Schiffer) who is the mother of Sam's schoolmate, and there is a mutual spark.
Sarah (Laura Linney) first appears at Juliet and Peter's wedding, sitting next to her friend Jamie. An American working at Harry's graphic design company, she is in love with the creative director, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). Prompted by Harry, they finally connect at the Christmas party, and Karl drives her home. Sarah invites Karl in and they immediately pull off their clothes and begin to get intimate when Michael (Michael Fitzgerald), her mentally ill brother, telephones from a psychiatric hospital, aborting their tryst. On Christmas Eve, they are both working late. Karl tries to find words but just wishes her a merry Christmas and leaves. In tears, Sarah calls Michael and visits him to give him a Christmas gift.
After unsuccessfully attempting to woo various British women, including Mia and Nancy (Juliet and Peter's wedding caterer; Julia Davis), Colin Frissell from Basildon (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) that he plans to go to the US, convinced that his Britishness will be an asset. Landing in Milwaukee, Colin hails a taxi and asks the driver to take him to the nearest bar. There, he immediately meets Stacey (Ivana Miličević), Jeannie (January Jones), and Carol-Anne (Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who instantly fall for his Estuary English accent, inviting him to stay at their home, where they are joined by their 'sexiest' roommate Harriet (Shannon Elizabeth).
John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) are professional stand-ins for films. They meet doing the sex scenes for a film for which Tony is a production assistant. John tells Judy, "It's lovely to find someone I can actually chat to." While they are perfectly comfortable being naked and simulating sex on-set, they are shy and tentative off-set. They carefully pursue a relationship, attending the Christmas pageant (involving David and Natalie, Harry and Karen's children, Daniel and Sam, etc.) at the local school with John's brother. They get engaged by the end of the film.
Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) is the jewellery salesman whose meticulous gift-wrapping nearly results in Karen seeing Harry buying a necklace for Mia. In another scene, his distraction of airport staff enables Sam to sneak past them to talk to Joanna. (In the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel, but this was dropped from the final script.)
A month later, all the characters are seen at Heathrow Airport. Billy's Christmas single has spurred a comeback. Juliet, Peter, and Mark meet Jamie and his bride, Aurélia. Karen and the kids greet Harry, but Karen's stilted reaction suggests they are struggling to move past his affair. Sam greets Joanna, who has returned from America, and Daniel is joined by his new girlfriend, Carol, and her son. Newlyweds John and Judy, heading off to their honeymoon, run into Tony who is awaiting Colin's return from America. Colin returns with Harriet and her sister Carla, who meets Tony for the first time but greets him with a hug and a kiss on the lips. Natalie welcomes David back from his flight in view of the press, showing their relationship is now public. These scenes dissolve into footage of actual arrivals at Heathrow, as the screen is divided into an increasing number of smaller segments to form a photographic mosaic of a heart.
All the stories are linked in some way; while Billy Mack and his manager may not connect with any of the other characters physically, Billy appears frequently on characters' radios and TVs, his music video twice providing an important plot device for Sam's pursuit of Joanna, and they also cross paths with the other characters in the closing Heathrow scene. John and Judy work with Tony, who is best friends with Colin, who works for a catering company that services the office where Sarah, Karl, Mia, and Harry work. Mia is friends with Mark, who runs the art gallery where the Christmas office party takes place. Mia also lives next door to Natalie. Mark is in love with Juliet and friends with Peter. The couple is friends with Jamie and Sarah. Harry is married to Karen, who is friends with Daniel, and her brother is David, who works with Natalie. Harry and Karen's children (and thus David's niece and nephew), Natalie's siblings (and thus Mia's neighbours), and Carol's son are all schoolmates of Sam and Joanna. Daniel proclaims that his late wife was the only one for him unless Claudia Schiffer were to call him up. Carol is played by Claudia Schiffer.

Initially, Curtis started writing with two distinct and separate films in mind, each featuring expanded versions of what would eventually become storylines in Love Actually: those featuring Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.[3] He changed tack and became frustrated with the process.[4] Partly inspired by the films of Robert Altman as well as films such as Pulp Fiction, and inspired by Curtis having become "more interested in writing a film about love and what love sort of means" he had the idea of creating an ensemble film.[4] The film initially did not have any sort of Christmas theme, although Curtis's penchant for such films eventually caused him to write it as one.[5]
Curtis's original concept for the film included fourteen different scenarios, but four of them were cut (two having been filmed).[6] The scene in which Colin attempts to chat up the female caterer at the wedding appeared in drafts of the screenplay for Four Weddings and a Funeral, but was cut from the final version.[8] The music video for Billy Mack's song, "Christmas Is All Around", is a tribute to Robert Palmer's 1986 video, "Addicted to Love".[6] Curtis has spoken negatively about the editing process for the film, which he labelled in 2014 as a "catastrophe" and "the only nightmare scenario that I've been caught in".[9] The film was rushed in order to be ready for the 2003 Christmas season which he likened to "three-dimensional chess".[9] For the scene in which Rowan Atkinson's character Rufus annoys Harry, Alan Rickman's reaction was reportedly genuine, having been "driven insane" by the time constraints.[10] Hugh Grant disliked filming the dance scene as he called it "excruciating" and "absolute hell".[11][12]
Ant & Dec played themselves in the film with Bill Nighy's character referring to Dec as "Ant or Dec". This refers to the common mistaking of one for the other, owing to their constant joint professional presence as a comedy and presenting duo. The veteran actress Jeanne Moreau is seen briefly, entering a taxi at the Marseille Airport. The soul singer Ruby Turner appears as Joanna Anderson's mother, one of the backing singers at the school Christmas pageant.
Curtis cast his mother-in-law, actress Jill Freud, as the Prime Minister's cleaner.[13]
Curtis cast his daughter Scarlett in the film; she was given the choice of being an angel or a lobster, and played the part of Lobster number 2 in the nativity play, on the condition that she meets Keira Knightley.[14]
Helder Costa plays Mr Barros, Aurelia's father. He is a veteran actor in Portuguese cinema.[15]
Emma Thompson used the experience of her own marriage breaking up for the role of Karen.[16]
Joe Alwyn auditioned for the role of Sam; Alwyn read scenes with Grant and Curtis.[17]
Curtis originally had two actors in mind for the part of Billy Mack, but he couldn't decide and then told casting director Mary Selway to find someone who would do the part well but whom he would never think to cast; she suggested Bill Nighy.[18][19]
Most of the film was made on location in London, including Trafalgar Square, the central court of Somerset House in the Strand, Grosvenor Chapel on South Audley Street near Hyde Park, St Paul's Church, Clapham, the Millennium Bridge, Selfridges department store on Oxford Street, Lambeth Bridge, the Tate Modern in the former Bankside Power Station, Canary Wharf, Marble Arch, St. Luke's Mews off All Saint's Road in Notting Hill, Chelsea Bridge, the OXO Tower, London City Hall, Poplar Road in Herne Hill, Elliott School in Pullman Gardens, Putney, Heathrow Airport and the Marseille Airport. Scenes set in 10 Downing Street were filmed at Shepperton Studios.[20]
Following Tony Blair's resignation as Prime Minister, pundits and speculators commented on a potential anti-American shift in Gordon Brown's cabinet as a "Love Actually moment", referring to the scene in which Hugh Grant's character stands up to the US president.[21][22][23] In 2009, during President Barack Obama's first visit to the UK, Chris Matthews referred to the president in Love Actually as an example of George W. Bush and other former presidents' bullying of European allies. Commenting on this, Mediaite's Jon Bershad described the U.S. president character as a "sleazy Bill Clinton/George W. Bush hybrid".[24] In the scene in question, the swaggering president bullies the prime minister and then sexually harasses a member of the household staff. In September 2013, David Cameron made a speech in reply to Russia's comment that Britain was a small insignificant country, which drew comparisons with Hugh Grant's speech during the film.[25]
One storyline consisting of two scenes, featuring the only gay love story, was cut and not included.[26] In the first scene, Anne Reid, as the headmistress of Karen's children's school, is revealed going home to her terminally ill partner, Geraldine, played by Frances de la Tour.[27] In the second scene, while speaking at the Christmas concert, Karen acknowledges Geraldine's recent death. Curtis said he regretted losing this storyline.[28]

The US edition of the soundtrack removed two pieces of the score and "Sometimes" by Gabrielle and reordered the tracklist. It also replaced the Girls Aloud cover of "Jump (For My Love)" with the original by The Pointer Sisters, and replaced Maroon 5's "Sweetest Goodbye" with a medley of "Sweetest Goodbye" with "Sunday Morning".
The film's original score was composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Craig Armstrong. It was commercially unreleased until 19 November 2021, when it was released digitally by Universal Pictures' Back Lot Music, and on CD by La-La Land Records.[29]
The soundtrack album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, and by Christmas 2018 it had spent 348 weeks on the Chart.[33] It reached the top forty on the US Billboard 200 in 2004 and ranked second on the Top Soundtracks chart.
The UK and US versions of the actual film contain two instances of alternative music. In the UK cut, the montage leading up to and continuing through the first part of the office party is set to the song "Too Lost in You", by the British group Sugababes. In the US version of the film, this song is replaced with "The Trouble with Love Is", performed by the American singer Kelly Clarkson. Subsequently, in the UK version's end credit roll, the second song is a cover of "Jump (For My Love)" performed by Girls Aloud; in the US version, this song is replaced with "Too Lost in You".
Several songs were heard in the film but did not appear on either soundtrack:
"Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)" performed by Bay City Rollers
"Puppy Love" performed by S Club Juniors
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" performed by Tessa Niles
"River" performed by Joni Mitchell

Love Actually grossed $59.7 million in the United States and Canada, $62.7 million in the United Kingdom, and $122.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $244.9 million, against a budget of $40 million.[34] It spent its first five weeks in the Top 10 at the U.S. box office.[35]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 64% of 225 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "A sugary tale overstuffed with too many stories. Still, the cast charms."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[37]
Michael Atkinson of The Village Voice called it "love British style, handicapped slightly by corny circumstance and populated by colorful neurotics".[38] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half out of four stars, describing it as "a belly-flop into the sea of romantic comedy ... The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: ... It feels a little like a gourmet meal that turns into a hot-dog eating contest."[39]
Nev Pierce of the BBC awarded it four of a possible five stars and called it a "vibrant romantic comedy ... Warm, bittersweet and hilarious, this is lovely, actually. Prepare to be smitten."[40]
In his review in The New York Times, journalist A. O. Scott called it "a romantic comedy swollen to the length of an Oscar-trawling epic" and added, "It is more like a record label's greatest-hits compilation or a very special sitcom clip-reel show than an actual movie."[41]
In Rolling Stone, Peter Travers rated it two stars out of a possible four, saying "there are laughs laced with feeling here, but the deft screenwriter Richard Curtis dilutes the impact by tossing in more and more stories."[42] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic was negative toward the work and described it as the least romantic movie of all time, considering its ultimate message to be "It's probably best if you give up on love altogether and get on with the rest of your life."[43][44]
Since its initial release Love Actually has become a cult film with audiences habitually viewing it as a holiday staple.[45][46] It remains broadly popular with audiences and has been discussed as an arguable modern-day Christmas classic.[47][48][49][50]

Do you feel it in your fingers and feel it in your toes? Indeed, Christmas is all around us, and TV screens and movie theaters are once again lighting up with Love Actually, the 2003 British rom-com that has joined A Christmas Story and It’s a Wonderful Life in the Christmas movie pantheon.
And like a kid who just couldn’t wait for Christmas morning, ABC is celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary a year early, airing The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later – A Diane Sawyer Special on Tuesday, November 29, at 8/7c.
That anniversary might not be humbug, though: Diane Sawyer is probably marking the 20th anniversary of the filming of Love Actually. So we’ll do the same, checking in with all the movie’s top-billed stars — minus, of course, the late, great Alan Rickman.

I'm going to tell you something that has made me an outcast around the holidays since I was, oh, say, 13 years old. Before this week, I had never seen Love Actually . Despite the fact that it's a Christmas classic, it's on the long, long list of movies that I've never made it a priority to see. (I've never seen It's A Wonderful Life, either, but that's a whole separate article.) Love Actually has become an irrevocable part of our cultural zeitgeist since 2003, but I don't like romance movies, and all my favorite Christmas movies are animated. That reasoning was enough for me to skip watching the film at every available opportunity for 12 years, and enough for me to develop some expectations about Love Actually that were either confirmed or destroyed by actually watching the damn movie.
So what did I know about Love Actually before I queued the film up on Netflix? Honestly, not a lot. There were only four things that I could say I knew for sure:
It's incredibly popular.
People watch it every Christmas.
It's some kind of ensemble film like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day.
It's a romance movie.
Yeah, that was it. I was surprised by the film about two minutes into it, honestly. But now I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go step-by-step through what I expected from Love Actually before watching it, and what really happened as I watched.
Expectation: I Thought The Title Was A Nod To The Genre
A romance movie called Love Actually? How inventive and original, Hollywood. I have no idea what you were shooting for here.
Reality: It's Part Of A Song And Part Of A Line
Literally less than five minutes into this movie, and with a little Google research, I realized they actually took the phrase "love actually" from something that they applied to the film. It's something I wouldn't even think would work as a film title, but now I can't imagine the movie with any other name.
Expectation: It Was An American Movie
It must be the American in me, assuming that everything is about us, but the sheer number of British actors in the movie bewildered me until I ran another Google search and found out that Love Actually is, in fact, a British film.
Reality: So, Yeah, It's Actually British
I mean, really, leave it to America to dump England's tea in a harbor and then, 200 years later, become obsessed with their movies, their actors, their royal families, and their boy wizards.
Expectation: There Would Be No People Of Color In This Movie
In my defense, this was mainly an impression that I got from the movie poster. The poster for the film features such great talents as Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Martine McCutcheon, Bill Nighy, and Rowan Atkinson. Such great white talents.
Reality: Oh, Hi, Chiwetel Ejiofor
The fact that Chiwetel Ejiofor is not only marrying Keira Knightley, but the groom in the wedding that acts as the catalyst for, or continuation of, so many of the plot lines in the movie would have been enough for me. But then you have other characters like Colin's friend Tony, trying desperately to teach him that that's not how America works, and, my personal favorite person in the movie, Joanna.
Expectation: I Wouldn't Recognize The Actors
This is a pretty common problem of mine, because I hardly know who anyone is ever. And, considering this is an ensemble film from 2003, I pretty much expected it to be actors that were more my parents' time than mine.
Reality: I Wouldn't Recognize The Actors... Back Then
Had I watched this movie in 2003, that would have been the reality. Well, I would have recognized Keira Knightley from Pirates of the Caribbean, but that would be about it. Now, Ejiofor has been in 12 Years A Slave, Martin Freeman has been in Sherlock, Colin Firth has been in The King's Speech, Liam Neeson has had his on-screen family Taken, and Hugh Grant has been in — and I'm not proud it's taken me this long — The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It's like a smorgasbord of every British actor I love.
Expectation: I Would Be Bored By All Of The Romances
Listen, I'm not a romance person. I'm just not. If the entire point of the story is that a boy and a girl, or a boy and a boy, or a girl and a girl, are falling in love with each other and overcoming obstacles to be together, I'm tuning out faster than I would if you throw in space travel and aliens. I thought from the start that Love Actually wouldn't be the movie for me.
Reality: What Is WRONG With Alan Rickman?
Technically, I was mostly correct. However, two plots completely proved my expectations wrong. The first was Sam and Joanna. As mentioned, I looked upon Liam Neeson and Thomas Sangster's entire plot with new fondness once I discovered that Joanna was played by Olivia Olsen, an African-American child actress. To hear Sam singing the praises of a girl that turned out to look like me was the sweetest thing ever. The second was Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's storyline. Once I climbed onto the Internet and found out everyone was as angry about it as I was, and the question of whether or not they got a divorce was still ongoing until December 2015, I felt vindicated. Because I am still so angry. Dammit, Snape!
Expectation: It Was Just A Silly Romance Movie
The movie is literally called Love Actually. I expected two hours of mind-numbing boredom while trying to avoid playing Bejeweled on my phone until this sapfest was over.
Reality: It Actually Has Something For Everyone
Love Actually is a romance movie, sure. But it's also a tragedy (I'm looking at you, Harry and Karen). It's a comedy (I'm looking at you, Colin and the American girls). It's a family film (Daniel and Sam). It's an international film (Jamie and Aurélia). It's a little bit of everything rolled into a bunch of vaguely interconnected vignettes, and I wish someone had told me that sooner. Then again, I wouldn't have listened.
Expectation: I Wouldn't Get The Hype After So Many Years
This film came out in 2003. Twelve years ago. The fact that everyone keeps talking about it every single year seemed to be proof that it was the kind of thing that you get nostalgic over, but not anything groundbreaking. Not anymore.
Reality: I Still Don't Get The Hype, But I Understand The Cultural Relevance
However, there's really something to be said about being, perhaps not the person to do something first, but the person to do it the best. And that's what I felt while watching Love Actually. Sure, I haven't watched any other vignette-based, ensemble films surrounding a holiday and/or romance, but Love Actually was kind of a masterpiece for the way it continues to inspire parodies, inspire people, and inspire emotions in those people every holiday season.
I'll probably never watch it again, but I'm also glad that I waited. It seems like the kind of movie I could only have appreciated a decade too late.

When the stars of Love Actually reunited last year for its 20th anniversary, many fans felt the cast hadn't changed a bit.
Starring some of Hollywood's biggest hitters, including Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Bill Nighty, the wintery flick, released in 2003, has become synonymous with Christmas. Written and directed by Richard Curtis, the iconic film received mixed reviews from critics, but despite this it has become a modern day must-watch.
Last year, Diane Sawyer hosted an ABC special called The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later, where she caught up with some of the stars of the film. But what happened to the other actors who starred in the romantic comedy? Here we look back at what's changed since 2003.
Harry - Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman, perhaps most known for going on to star as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, played Emma Thompson's husband in Love Actually.
The so-called 'Bad Harry' found himself in the doghouse after falling for the charms of Mia and breaking his wife's heart in the process. But in real life, actor Alan was far from a lothario, staying married to childhood sweetheart Rima Horton until his death in 2016.
Sadly, the actor passed away aged 69 in January 2016 after suffering a minor stroke in August 2015, before doctors discovered he was suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Daniel - Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson played Sam's grieving step-father, Daniel, who is navigating life after his wife died. Tragically, six years later the actor's own life was hit by tragedy when his wife Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident.
The actress had been taking a beginners ski lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort near Montreal when she fell and hit her head. After initially laughing off the incident, Natasha was rushed to hospital in New York after complaining of agonising headaches.
"I was told she was brain dead... She was on life support and stuff," Liam told 60 Minutes in 2014. "And I went in... and told her I loved her. I said, 'Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You've banged your head. It's – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that's – this is what's gone down.'" Sadly, Natasha died from an epidural hematoma two days later.
Liam, now 71, threw himself into his career following the tragic loss of his wife, starring in many thrillers – including Taken, The A-Team, Wrath of the Titans Non-Stop and The Commuter. He has never remarried.
Mark - Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln, now 50, played the part of Mark, who was hopelessly in love with his best friend's wife Juliet, played by Keira Knightley. The This Life star went on to become a huge Hollywood star thanks to his role as Rick Grimes in blockbuster zombie apocalypse series, The Walking Dead.
In 2019, Andrew starred in drama Penguin Bloom and later played the part of Rick in a spinoff of The Walking Dead, which was released this year.
Mia - Heike Makatsch
Heike Makatsch played Mia, the office femme fatale who seduced her married boss Harry, and convinced him to buy her a sexy Christmas present which wife Karen then found.
The German actress went on to make a name for herself as Lisa Addison in 2002's Resident Evil and Liesel's mother in The Book Thief in 2013.
In 2020 Heike starred as a journalist and single mother in a crime drama called Zero, directed by Jochen Alexander Freydank.
Sam - Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Now aged 33, Thomas Brodie-Sangster went on to have incredible success as an actor after playing young Sam in Love Actually.
He starred in Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and landed the coveted role of Jojen Reed in Game of Thrones. He got engaged in July this year to dating Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley, who he starred in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols biopic Pistol with. Thomas later confirmed the couple hadn't started dating until filming wrapped.
Joanna - Olivia Olson
American actress Olivia Olson impressed viewers with her incredible rendition of All I Want For Christmas. After Love Actually, the Californian native starred in Disney's long-running TV show Phineas And Ferb from 2007 to 2015.
She also voiced Bliss in the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls, and has narrated characters in a number of video games such as the Adventure Time franchises' games and Lego Dimensions. Now aged 31, she also took part in X-Factor Celebrity in 2019, but was left in tears when she was voted off in the first live show.
Karl - Rodrigo Santoro
Hunky Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro played the shy office worker who Laura Linney's character Sarah fell in love with. Since then, Rodrigo has had steady work, with stand-out roles in 300 and Focus. He also appeared on the TV show Lost as Paulo, and HBO's Westworld as Hector.
Now aged 48, he is still acting and is starred in American supernatural teen drama series Wolf Pack alongside Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2023.
Judy - Joanna Page
Joanna Page plays stunt double Judy who falls in love with Martin Freeman's character John. The Welsh actress went on to star as one of the titular characters in James Corden's Gavin and Stacey.
Joanna has continued to act, starring as Bethan Stubbins in the 2020 movie Doolittle alongside Robert Downey Jr. Now 46, the mum-of-four has also co-presented BBC One consumer series Shop Well for less alongside Melanie Sykes and recently popped up Celebrity Antiques Roadshow alongside Go Compare star, Wynne Evans.
Aurelia - Lucia Moniz
Lucia Moniz made a name for herself as Colin Firth's character Jamie's Portuguese cleaner. Before starring in the film she was actually a singer, famously representing her country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996.
With five albums under her belt to date, she returned to the music industry after filming. Now aged 47, she has also continued to star in TV shows, most recently as Isabel Da Paz in the Portuguese telenovela Na Corda Bamba.
Colin - Kris Marshall
Kris Marshall played Colin Frisell, who travelled to America because he struggled to find "English girls". The 50-year-old has had a hugely successful career, and many will also recognise him for his role as Nick Harper in the TV series My Family.
He has also starred as Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice and as DI Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise. The actor reprised his role as the hapless cop in Beyond Paradise this year in which he reunites with his Death In Paradise co-star, Sally Bretton.

We're surprised too...
Everyone knows that the true meaning of Christmas is sitting down to watch Love Actually - and, if you're the cynical type, to pick many holes in the many plots of the iconic Crimbo film.
While you may know the ins and outs of Richard Curtis' phenomenally festive ensemble drama (face it, you can probably recite Hugh Grant's airport voiceover. And his prime ministerial speech...), these behind-the-scenes facts will certainly enlighten your future viewings. Grab a roll neck and some A2 paper, it's time to revisit some of this Christmas classic's lesser-known tidbits...

37 Things You Definitely Didn't Know About Love Actually
1 of 37

1. Thomas Brodie Sangster (Sam) had to learn how to play the drums for the role
We call this dedication. Luckily, his dad plays drums and was able to teach him. Pretty handy if you ask us! Thomas still plays the drums even now - which is all the proof you need that Love Actually is for life, not just for Christmas.

2. Bill Nighy didn't realise that he was auditioning to play ageing rocker Billy Mack
On the film's tenth anniversary, Nighy told The Daily Beast, 'I did a rehearsal reading of the script as a favour to the great casting director, Mary Selway, who had been trying to get me into a film for a long time. I thought it was simply to help her hear the script aloud and to my genuine surprise I was given the job.' Frankly, we can't picture a Love Actually universe that doesn't include Bill.

3. His Christmas single was recorded in Abbey Road Studios
Meaning that he was in pretty good company. We wonder if any famous faces jumped in on his 'festering turd of a record' (Billy's words, not ours).

4. Richard Curtis previously had two other actors in mind for Nighy's character
Difficult to believe though it may now be, Nighy wasn't a dead cert for Billy Mack - though Curtis has refused to reveal who the other contenders were, joking that he'll 'put it in [his] will.'

5. The footage in the airport scenes that bookend the film is real
The camera crew set up at Heathrow airport and filmed friends and family reuniting over the course of a week. And the tears just keep on coming...

6. There were initially 14 storylines planned for the film, but – unsurprisingly – it ended up feeling too confusing
Two of them were cut – including one same-sex love story, and another featuring an African couple. Last year, Director Richard Curtis opened up about his regrets with the film, saying 'the lack of diversity makes me feel uncomfortable and a bit stupid.'

7. When Sugababes’ 'Too Lost In You’ is played in the UK version of the film, American audiences hear The Trouble With Love Is by Kelly Clarkson instead
Our deepest sympathies go to American fans of Love Actually, who have been missing out on what is undisputedly the best Sugababes song for all these years. During those ever-so emosh scenes, US audiences are treated to a lil bit of Kelly Clarkson.

8. Hugh Grant and Thomas Brodie Sangster are second cousins
It's a family affair! Their great-grandmothers were actually sisters (meaning they share a great great-grandmother). 'He'd call me cousin and ruffle my hair,' Sangster recalled to The Telegraph.

9. The 'lake’ which Jamie (Colin Firth) and Aurelia (Lucia Moniz) jump into to save the manuscript was only 18 inches deep
Rewatching this scene brings a whole new level of awks as we imagine was was really going on beneath the surface. The two actors had to shuffle on their knees to pretend they were swimming, and Firth ended up being bitten badly by a mosquito, causing his elbow to swell to the size of 'an avocado.' This would never have happened to Mr Darcy.

10. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair ended up referencing Hugh Grant's Love Actually speech in a very meta moment
Alluding to the scene where Grant's character stands up to the President (played by Billy Bob Thornton) with a speech that references everything from Harry Potter to David Beckham's right foot, Blair said, 'I know there's a bit of us that would like me to do a Hugh Grant in Love Actually and tell America where to get off. But the difference between a good film and real life is that in real life, there's the next day, the next year, the next lifetime to contemplate the ruinous consequences of easy applause.' There's definitely an undergraduate dissertation title hidden in there somewhere. If anything, we're taking great joy from knowing Tony sat down to watch this masterpiece.

11. Curtis’ daughter Scarlett appears as one of the lobsters in the school Christmas play
Because, as we all know, there was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus Christ. His son also pops up as the wise man with Spiderman face paint. Keep your eyes peeled!

12. That wasn't the only time that Curtis and his partner, screenwriter Emma Freud, called upon friends and family to appear in the film
The Downing Street housekeeper who greets the PM on his arrival is Freud's mother, while the music industry crowd at Billy Mack's party consists of the couple's friends. What good are some schmoozy industry connections if they can't bag you a part?

13. The awkward scene with Kris Marshall and the wedding caterer wasn't originally written for Love Actually
It was actually taken from the script for an earlier Richard Curtis vehicle, Four Weddings and a Funeral, with Hugh Grant intended to speak Marshall's lines. It was cut from the final version of the 1994 film, leaving Curtis to repurpose it further down the line.

14. Colin Firth's character name is a dig at Richard Curtis’ brother, Jamie
He later explained that Firth's character took his brother's name so that the disgruntled kids could say 'I hate Uncle Jamie.' Classic sibling behaviour, if you ask us...
15 of 37
CREDIT: Universal Pictures
15. Curtis always wanted Hugh Grant as the PM, and Emma Thompson as his put-upon sister
He wrote the screenplay with both of them in mind, having previously worked with Grant on Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and with Thompson on The Tall Guy. It was an impeccably casting decision, giving us the iconic duo we never knew we needed.

16. Martine McCutcheon's role was written especially for her
Her character, Natalie, was actually called Martine in initial drafts of the script. This was changed before her audition to keep Martine on her toes, so she didn't assume the part was already in the bag.

17. The Barbie dolls that Emma Thompson's Karen wraps up as gifts are actually Ken dolls in drag
'Now, which doll shall we give Daisy's little friend Emily?' We've popped them both on our Crimbo wish lists.

18. Sarah (Laura Linney)'s flat was inspired by the author of Bridget Jones's Diary
The split-level apartment, which we see after Sarah's office party, is based on Helen Fielding's home. The writer is a friend of Curtis, and worked with him on the film adaptation of Bridget Jones.

19. The cast didn't film together, but they shared a huge trailer park
Bill Nighy told The Guardian, 'There were so many famous people in there, we used to talk about being on Liam Neeson Way or Emma Thompson Road or Hugh Grant Avenue. And it was a masterpiece of diplomacy, too; we all had the same size and type of trailer.'
20 of 37

20. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth's storylines were originally intended as two separate, standalone films
Sadly, we can definitely imagine ourselves watching both films and then quickly obliterating them from our Netflix viewing history. Some things don't need a full two hours to tell.

21. Joanna's rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You was seen as too good to be true
The producers were a tad worried that audiences wouldn't believe it was a child singing, so they asked her to make her next take 'a little less good.' Justice for Joanna, our little Mariah Carey!
22 of 37

22. Claudia Schiffer's cameo was never meant to happen
The producers wanted to cast someone who looked like the legendary supermodel, but predictably found this feat pretty difficult. The solution? Going direct to Claudia herself.
23 of 37
CREDIT: Universal Pictures
23. Similarly, Curtis wanted a Laura Linney-type actress to play Linney's role
Again, no one quite fit the bill - so Curtis solved the problem by going straight to Linney, writing her a letter to explain the story. 'My part was originally written for another Brit, but he asked me to do it, and I was so excited to be asked,' Linney told the Daily Beast.
24 of 37
CREDIT: Universal Pictures
24. Curtis had originally wanted the entire cast to be British, but this didn't quite work out.
Linney's on-screen love interest, Karl, ended up being played by Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro. 'My character, Karl, was supposed to be British, but apparently they couldn't find the right actor,' he later explained.
25 of 37

25. The wedding scene at the start of the film is actually based on a funeral
The idea for the surprise band in the church came after Curtis attended the funeral of Muppets creator Jim Henson, where the puppeteers and the 'Muppets' sang a song. We're adding it to our wedding (and funeral?) inspo boards.
26 of 37

26. An annoying character called Bernard appears in each of Richard Curtis’ films
It's his way of getting back at Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, who 'stole' his former girlfriend. Some feuds run deep. In Love Actually, Bernard is Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's 'horrid son.'
27 of 37

27. Hugh Grant was not on board with his dancing scene to begin with
Who'd have guessed it! According to Curtis, Hugh was 'hugely grumpy about it.' He said, 'He kept on putting it off, and he didn't like the song. It was originally a Jackson 5 song, but we couldn't get it – so he was hugely unhappy about it.'
28 of 37
CREDIT: Universal Pictures
28. However, he ended up getting almost too involved with the performance
Curtis adds, 'We didn't shoot it until the final day, and it went so well that when we edited it, it had gone too well, and he was singing along with the words, so it was incredibly hard to edit.'
29 of 37
CREDIT: Universal Pictures
29. Grant's scenes were – unsurprisingly – not filmed in the real 10 Downing Street
To allow for a realistic portrayal, future inhabitant Gordon Brown (then Chancellor of the Exchequer) escorted Curtis and his production designer Jim Clay on a two-hour tour of Number 10. Banned from taking photos or notes, Clay had to recreate the house from memory.
30 of 37

30. Think the scene with the cards is painfully creepy? Mark's declaration of love had to be written five times
Curtis read out different options to the women in his office, and asked them to choose the least embarrassing messages. The result is stillllll pretty cringe, so we dread to think what the previous drafts were like.
31 of 37

31. Andrew Lincoln wrote those infamous signs himself
'The art department did it, and then I said, "Well, can I do it?" because I like to think my handwriting is really good,' he later recalled.
32 of 37

32. Rowan Atkinson's cameo appearance was filmed at midnight in Selfridges
To avoid the crowds of tourists usually found in the popular department store, the production team asked for it to stay open late at night.
33 of 37

33. Emma Thompson did twelve takes of the Joni Mitchell scene
AKA the most devastating scene to exist on TV screens ever. Her crying was totally unscripted. 'I've had so much bloody practise at crying in a bedroom and then having to go out and be cheerful, gathering up the pieces of my heart and putting them in a drawer,' she later said. Hear that? That's our hearts breaking.
34 of 37

34. Thompson also filmed her scenes wearing a fat suit
Yes, really.
35 of 37

35. Olivia Olson (Joanna)'s first kiss was with her co-star Thomas Brodie-Sangster
'It was my first kiss and on-screen kiss too,' she explained to E! News. 'I was really nervous because I kind of had a crush on Thomas back in the day and I was also worried, because I was taller than him if it was going to look weird.'
36 of 37
36. The IRL age gap between Kiera Knightley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster is five years.
Pick those jaws up off the ground. Thomas' Sam was ten years old in the film, while Kiera played a married woman and homeowner. In real life, Thomas was 13 and Keira was 18. The film's bosses have since admitted that she was 'too young for the role,' but insisted that 'it worked.'

37. The word 'actually’ is said 23 times in the film
Love actually is all around! Keep that one in the bank for those upcoming Christmas quizzes.

Colin Firth (born September 10, 1960, Grayshott, Hampshire, England) is a British actor especially known for his portrayals of aloof characters who gradually shed their reserve to become emotionally available, notably Mr. Darcy in a television adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1995) and the future king George VI in The King’s Speech (2010).
Firth’s parents were teachers, and the family moved frequently, living in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States. He acted in school plays, and in 1980 he was accepted to the Drama Centre London (now part of the University of Arts London and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design). Three years later he made his West End debut, portraying a character based on the British spy Guy Burgess in the play Another Country. In 1984 Firth starred in the film adaptation, though he was cast in a different role. Over the next decade Firth worked steadily, appearing in numerous stage, movie, and television productions. In 1988 he received critical praise for the TV film Tumbledown, in which he portrayed a Scottish soldier who is injured during the Falkland Islands War and endures a difficult recovery. The role earned Firth his first British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award nomination. Notable feature films from this period included Apartment Zero (1988), Valmont (1989), and Circle of Friends (1995).

Oscar-Worthy Movie Trivia
Despite his numerous credits, Firth did not receive his major breakthrough until he appeared as Fitzwilliam Darcy in the television miniseries Pride and Prejudice (1995). His portrayal of a repressed aristocrat whose haughtiness hides his growing affection for Elizabeth Bennet earned Firth a devoted following. A series of acclaimed films followed, including The English Patient (1996) and Shakespeare in Love (1998), both of which earned an Academy Award for best picture. In 2001 Firth garnered further attention as Mark Darcy in the romantic comedy Bridget Jones’s Diary, an adaptation of Helen Fielding’s best-selling novel. That character, an uptight lawyer who falls in love with the title character (played by Renée Zellweger), was based on Austen’s Mr. Darcy. Firth reprised the role in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) and Bridget Jones’s Baby (2016).
Firth continued to display his versatility in such films as Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003), in which he starred as the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; the family film Nanny McPhee (2005); and the box-office hit Mamma Mia! (2008), a musical based on the songs of ABBA. In Tom Ford’s 2009 adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel A Single Man, he portrayed a gay professor who, following the death of his lover, displays a stoic front while contemplating suicide. The role earned Firth his first Oscar nomination, and he won his first BAFTA Award. He received further acclaim with the historical drama The King’s Speech (2010), starring as Prince Albert (eventually King George VI) of Great Britain, who enlists the aid of an eccentric speech therapist (played by Geoffrey Rush) to overcome a debilitating stutter. Firth garnered numerous accolades for his poignant performance, including an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award.
After playing a slick Texas businessman in the small-town drama Main Street (2010), Firth took the role of a British intelligence agent suspected of treason in the 2011 film adaptation of John le Carré’s novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. In the dark comedy Arthur Newman (2012), he starred as a discontented family man who fakes his death and embarks on a journey under an assumed identity. He played a former World War II prisoner of war who goes in search of the Japanese interpreter who tortured him in The Railway Man (2013), based on a memoir. Firth then evinced the husband of a woman (played by Nicole Kidman) who loses her memory in the thriller Before I Go to Sleep (2014). He deployed his starchy diction and composure to comic effect as a spy in the thriller parody Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) and the franchise’s second installment, Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017).

Love Actually has become as synonymous with Christmas as Santa Claus at this point, with practically every millennial on earth knowing the script word-for-word.

The classic film, whose all-star cast includes Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Bill Nighy and Martine McCutcheon, was first released all the way back in 2003.
Now, 20 years later, McCutcheon has teased some huge news for fans who still can’t get enough of the rom-com.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, McCutcheon revealed to fans that she has been secretly filming something “big” in relation to the movie after creator Richard Curtis told her he had something in the works.
“I have just been filming something for the delightful Richard Curtis,” said the actress. “He is doing something which is going to be celebrating Love Actually big time.”
“He asked me to be involved and I was very honoured and flattered and I of course said I would. I wish I could have done more than I have Richard, but I think it’s going to be a really lovely, feel good thing to go and enjoy.”
McCutcheon went on to share in the caption to her video that she remains forever grateful for being able to have been a part of such a genre-defining film.
“For me, being a part of such a huge project that explored so many different kinds of love was the ultimate dream,” she wrote. “For me it’s what life is truly all about. So career wise there is nothing that would or could match it. The message of Love Actually has reached so many and continues to touch new generations.”
The romantic comedy, which intertwines the stories of eight couples during a frantic month before Christmas in London, also features Laura Linney, Martin Freeman, Andrew Lincoln, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rodrigo Santoro, Rowan Atkinson, Billy Bob Thornton and the late Alan Rickman.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Love Actually director Curtis apologised for labelling characters such as McCutcheon’s character in the film as chubby while being interviewed by his daughter Scarlett.
The British screenwriter acknowledged that jokes about women’s weight “aren’t any longer funny”, and also slammed the lack of non-white representation in his films such as Notting Hill.

Love Actually Cast: Where Are They Now? - Netflix Tudum
NBC Universal
The ‘Love Actually’ Cast Is Still All Around Us, 20 Years Later
The Christmas rom-com boasts a stacked ensemble filled with more than a few famous faces.
By Dalene Rovenstine
Nov. 15, 2023
“To me, you are perfect.” That’s what many fans say to the rom-com Love Actually each holiday season. First released in November 2003, the film — which is now streaming on Netflix — has since developed a devoted following, with many believing it to be required viewing each year.
One of the best things about the seasonal flick is its robust cast: With interconnected love stories told over two hours, there are a wealth of featured players, many of them notable actors. Whether you can sing every word of “Christmas Is All Around” or you’ve only watched the modern classic once, you’ll definitely recognize many of its stars. Read on to see what the Love Actually cast has been up to in the two decades since the film came out.

Hugh Grant
as David, the Prime Minister
About the Character
David has recently been elected prime minister when he develops feelings for his staffer Natalie. He mistakenly believes she has feelings for the US president when he walks in on an awkward moment, but learns the truth when she leaves him a Christmas card.
Previously In
No stranger to rom-coms, Grant followed up Love Actually by reprising his role as Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and starring alongside Drew Barrymore in Music and Lyrics. He stepped outside the genre for Florence Foster Jenkins and to play the villain in Paddington 2. He most recently starred in HBO’s The Undoing and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, along with a memorable cameo in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Martine McCutcheon
as Natalie
About the Character
As a member of the prime minister’s staff, Natalie often finds herself nervous — and cursing — around her boss. She’s recently been broken up with, but starts developing feelings for David.
Previously In
Following the success of Love Actually, McCutcheon appeared in various British TV shows, including Spooks and Agatha Christie’s Marple. In 2021, she appeared in the UK’s version of The Masked Singer.

Billy Bob Thornton
as The US president
About the Character
The president is visiting England for a meeting with the prime minister. During his stay, he does not do America proud: He makes inappropriate comments about the PM’s staffer Natalie.
Previously In
The same year that Love Actually came out, Thornton starred in Bad Santa. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame the next year. His credits since then have included the films School for Scoundrels and Mr. Woodcock, as well as the TV series Fargo.

Emma Thompson
as Karen
About the Character
David’s sister Karen is a stay-at-home mom to two kids with her husband, Harry. She has arguably the worst holiday in the whole film as she finds out that her husband has feelings for his secretary. She stumbles upon an expensive necklace in his coat pocket — thinking it’s for her — only to discover on Christmas Day that he bought her a CD.
Previously In
Thompson has had no shortage of acting credits since Love Actually in 2003. She’s gone on to star in the Harry Potter film series, Nanny McPhee and its sequel (both of which she also wrote), Men in Black 3, Saving Mr. Banks, the 2017 version of Beauty and the Beast, Cruella, and Matilda the Musical.

Alan Rickman
as Harry
About the Character
For a married man, Harry pays a little too much attention to his secretary, Mia. She’s extremely flirtatious toward him, which he rewards by purchasing her an expensive Christmas gift, and slow-dances a little too closely with her at their company holiday party.
Previously In
Like Thompson, Rickman starred in the Harry Potter series. Severus Snape would become one of his most memorable roles, but he continued to star in films — including Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Alice in Wonderland — and on stage until his death in 2016.

Heike Makatsch
as Mia
About the Character
Mia isn’t someone the audience can easily root for: She’s over-the-top flirty with her boss, Harry — one time even in front of his wife. We don’t know much else about Mia except that she’s Natalie’s next-door neighbor.
Previously In
Makatsch appeared in the 2013 war drama The Book Thief, as well as a number of German films.

Keira Knightley
as Juliet
About the Character
Juliet thinks her new husband’s best friend, Mark, doesn’t like her. He’s cold to her and even refuses to show her the video he shot at her and Peter’s wedding. But when she finally sees the footage and realizes Peter isn’t in it, Mark admits he’s distant because he does like her.
Previously In
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Knightley starred as Elizabeth Swann, came out the same year as Love Actually. Knightley portrayed the character in the two sequels as well. She continued to see success in the films King Arthur, Price & Prejudice, Atonement, and The Imitation Game. She has received Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations.

Andrew Lincoln
as Mark
About the Character
After finally admitting he has feelings for his best friend’s new wife, Mark shows up at their apartment pretending to be a holiday caroler. When Juliet answers the door, he plays music on a boombox and, in one of the film’s most famous scenes, declares his love in a series of large cue cards.
Previously In
After this card-wielding character, Lincoln is likely best known for his portrayal of Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead, in which he starred from 2010–2018.

Chiwetel Ejiofor
as Peter
About the Character
Poor Peter thinks he’s happily married to Juliet and is unaware that his best friend, Mark, is confessing his love to her — and that he’s barely in his own wedding video.
Previously In
Ejiofor appeared in various films and stage productions throughout the early 2000s. In 2013, he starred as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave, a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination. His acting credits also include the Doctor Strange films, the 2019 remake of The Lion King, and the TV series The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Colin Firth
as Jamie
About the Character
Peter and Juliet’s wedding also isn’t a happy time for Jamie, who goes without his girlfriend because she’s sick. He comes home early to find her having sex with his brother. Heartbroken, Jamie escapes to a French cottage to work on his next book. There he meets his housekeeper, Aurélia, who speaks only Portuguese, while he speaks only English.
Previously In
Following Love Actually, Firth starred in What a Girl Wants, Girl with a Pearl Earring, and alongside Thompson in Nanny McPhee. He then got into musicals with a lead role in Mamma Mia! and appeared in critically acclaimed films The King’s Speech (which won him an Oscar) and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Like Grant, he reprised his role in the Bridget Jones sequel — and also appeared in the third film in the franchise.

Sienna Guillory
as Jamie’s girlfriend
About the Character
Jamie’s cheating girlfriend doesn’t even get a name in the film. She fakes being sick so she can stay home from their friend’s wedding in order to sleep with her own boyfriend’s brother.

This is it, the writing opportunity I’ve been waiting for my whole life: the chance to wax poetic about a Colin Firth movie.
When asked to think about the representation of paper in film, the immediate thought that comes to mind for most romantic comedy fanatics is this scene from “Love Actually.” I know it did for me. If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know exactly which scene I’m talking about.
In the scene, Jamie (Colin Firth, “The King’s Speech”) is working diligently on his novel, which he tellingly chooses to write with a typewriter. Why use a typewriter? He could have easily used a laptop — 2003 is not as ancient a time as we believe it to be. There is something inherently romantic about a typewriter, though, and people who use them are unquestionably engaging in a kind of performance when they do so. The use of a typewriter, or any method of writing that doesn’t involve a screen for that matter, implies seriousness, traditionalism and poise. Some may even call it pretentious, though I’m not sure I agree. Regardless, whatever kind of person Jamie presents himself as through his writing setup is instantly deconstructed when his finished pages are blown out of his grasp by the wind and into the dirty, freezing cold pond right behind his cottage.
Jamie’s housekeeper, the Portuguese-speaking and beautiful Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz, “Red Nose Day Actually”), immediately strips down to her underwear and dives into the pond, believing she is saving something that might be of significant literary value. Jamie knows what he’s written is not worth getting into that water for, and is thus shocked by Aurélia’s commitment to the cause. Regardless of whatever value Jamie’s writing might have, it seems to be that trying to save it is a futile gesture — I imagine the ink-printed words on the page would bleed to the point of unreadability. But Aurélia doesn’t have time to think of these logistics: She jumps right in, and Jamie is clearly moved by her behavior, by how much she believes in him. He follows her into the water.
Jamie and Aurélia engage in both a literal and figurative stripping of layers, taking off their cardigans and plunging into uncertain terrain. Their individual ways of going about this are brilliantly revealing of them as people — while Aurélia takes off nearly all of her clothing and dives into the pond as though she’s a professional swimmer, Jamie leaves on everything but his sweater and clumsily falls into the pond instead of jumping. She is confident and determined, he is insecure and apprehensive, and they’re just now learning this about each other. Having come to understand the pointlessness of trying to save the paper, they laugh, and the rest of their love story is history.
The paper itself means nothing, of course. What matters is what the paper represents, what the thing printed on its surface signifies. In the case of “Love Actually,” what’s printed on Jamie’s pages probably isn’t even what matters — after all, he even says, “It’s not worth it, it isn’t bloody Shakespeare.” What does matter about this paper is that its plunge into the pond’s murky waters is what drags Jamie and Aurélia into the pond, allowing their romance to advance to new and uncharted territories.

They're reuniting to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the comedy - but what happened to the cast of Love Actually in the years since?
An hour-long special will air on US network ABC on November 29, with no current UK release date, and will include Emma Thompson, 63, Hugh Grant, 62, Bill Nighy, 72, and Laura Linney, 58, who all memorably starred in the movie.
The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later sees journalist Diane Sawyer interview the actors as well as writer and director Richard Curtis.
Since its release in 2003, Love Actually, which follows the intertwined stories of various characters in the build up to December 25, has become a bona fide Christmas classic.
But while it's been easy to keep tabs on Hugh and high profile cast-mates like Keira Knightley over the two decades since the film landed in cinemas, whatever happened to Joanna the singing schoolgirl or 'god of sex' Colin Frissell?
Here, FEMAIL reveals the very different fortunes of the movie's cast - from Oscar-nominated performances to a Game of Thrones role and a gigging comedian...
SAM (THOMAS BRODIE-SANGFORD)
Game of Thrones fans might have noticed a familiar face beyond the Wall in early seasons of the popular show.
Jojen Reed was played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, the child star who played grieving Liam Neeson's stepson Sam in Love Actually.
The actor, who runs through the airport to tell his schoolgirl crush he loves her during the film's big finale, had a recurring role in the HBO series, as a young heir tasked with helping to protect Bran Stark.
The now 32-year-old has starred in the hit sci-fi adaptation Maze Runner and in 2017 he starred in a 15 minute sequel to Love Actually, shown on the BBC as part of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.
Thomas has enjoyed film success in Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy - in which he played a young Paul McCartney - and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Speaking to People about being in the film, he said: 'I remember already having the part and going into the read-through and not knowing who else was in it. I'd just go, "Oh, it's another job. Great. I'm on another job."
'And then all these faces started walking in through the door and I realised that this is probably quite big.'
JOANNA (OLIVIA OLSON)
Olivia Olson was 11 when she starred as the adorable schoolgirl who stole her classmate Sam's heart - and stunned viewers with her powerful rendition of Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You.
At the time, her singing was so good that director Richard Curtis was reportedly worried the audience wouldn't believe it was her own voice, and trained her to make it sound 'more believable'.
Now, 30, Olivia's incredible singing voice saw her release her first EP 'Beauty is chaos' in 2013, before releasing album Nowhere Land in June 2018.
The LA-based actress and singer has also been part of the cast behind two animated series - the Cartoon Network's Adventure Time, in which she voiced Marceline the Vampire Queen, and Disney's Phineas and Ferb, in which she voiced Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.
She will feature in the reunion special, 'reliving' the classic Christmas tune she performed in the movie with viewers.
In 2019, she featured as one of many stars taking part in the ITV reality series The X Factor: Celebrity.
When asked what she would like viewers to know about her, Olivia told MailOnline at the time: ‘For the love of god I’m so much more than the Love Actually girl!’
Olivia also admitted she hadn't seen much of the Love Actually cast since the film although she did reunite with Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
She said: ‘Well the last time I saw Thomas [Brodie-Sangster] was when we filmed the Love Actually Red Nose Day sequel and I haven’t seen him much since then.
‘I live in Los Angeles and back in the day cell phones weren’t even a thing. When you left you just left, and it was like “bye”! But even then I don’t have my AOL anymore!
‘So we didn’t really stay in touch but we did play co-stars in one of the animated shows that I did. And it was such a funny, random occurrence that we both got cast. They wrote it in that his character had a crush on my character.'
COLIN FRISSELL (KRIS MARSHALL)
Aside from his memorable turn as would-be ladies' man Colin Frissell in Love Actually, Kris Marshall, now 49, is perhaps best known for playing Nick Harper in the comedy series My Family.
Optimistic geek Colin travels to Wisconsin in Love Actually, in search of American women who will appreciate that 'Stateside, I am Prince William'.
Since then Marshall has appeared in the BBC film Heist, the independent British rom-com Sparks & Embers in 2015, and starred in a long-running ad campaign for BT.
He played lead detective DI Humphrey Goodman in the BBC drama Death in Paradise from 2014 to 2017. He also showed off his acting chops in the ITV adaptation of Jane Austen's Sanditon.
He shares two children with wife Hannah Dodkins, who he married in 2012. The family live in Bath together.
MARK (ANDREW LINCOLN)
Young Sam had competition in the broken heart stakes from camera man Mark, who struggles to be around his best friend's wife Juliet [played by Keira Knightley] after falling in love with her himself.
One of Love Actually's most famous scenes shows Mark standing outside the couple's house in the snow to finally tell Juliet how he feels - via a series of hand-scrawled cardboard signs, and to a soundtrack of carollers singing Silent Night.
Since then, Andrew Lincoln, 49, has gone on to enjoy success Stateside, where he starred as sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes in the hugely popular AMC series The Walking Dead.
Lincoln has received various awards and nominations for his portrayal of Rick Grimes; including Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2015 and 2017.
In July 2022, Andrew announced he would be returning to his popular show for a The Walking Dead spin-off.
He will reprise his roles as Rick for the AMC+ series in 2023, which will replace the Rick Grimes movies that were announced when Lincoln left the show in 2018.
Announcing the news during a surprise appearance at Comic-Con, Andrew said: 'This is kind of overwhelming. Because you are the hardest of the hardcore fans, we have something we want to tell you first.'
Andrew has two children, Matilda and Arthur, with Gael Anderson, daughter of Ian Anderson, flautist and vocalist of Jethro Tull.
DAISY (LULU POPPLEWELL)
Schoolgirl Daisy, the daughter of Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's characters, was memorably cast as a lobster in her school nativity play in Love Actually.
Now 31, former child star Lulu Popplewell is a writer and stand-up comedienne.
Lulu previously voiced the character of Lyra Belacqua in the BBC Radio 4 version of His Dark Materials, and her older sister is Anna Popplewell, who played Susan Pevensie in the Chronicles of Narnia films.
In October 2020, she criticised Love Actually for being 'cheesy' and showing women as 'passive objects'.
The comedian made the comments during an appearance on podcast Almost Famous, adding that she thinks the classic Christmas flick is a 's**t film'.
Speaking about her experience doing the film when she was 12-years-old, Lulu said: 'I don't regret it at all. Look, softly be it spoken I think it's a s**t film.
'I think it's aged badly. All the women in it are sort of passive objects. I think that there was an article describing them as passive objects to be acquired.
'On re-watching it's not great. You also have to remember that he [Richard Curtis] was writing in the context of the time. I mean I don't know how he excuses more recent work. But it was in 2003 or whenever it was out.
'But it is also not for me because I don't like cheese. I'm glad people like it.'
NATALIE (MARTINE MCCUTCHEON)
She was previously best known for playing Tiffany in Eastenders, but since Love Actually Martine McCutcheon will forever be the Downing Street staffer who swears like a sailor and wins the heart of the Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant.
Since playing Natalie, McCutcheon, who won an Olivier award for her role as Eliza in My Fair Lady in the West End, has made guest appearances in Spooks, starred in a Tesco ad campaign, and published a novel, The Mistress.
In 2016 she was unveiled as a new full-time panellist on the ITV show Loose Women, but left after one season.
English actress Martine, 46, has been married to musician husband Jack McManus, 38, since 2012. The couple share son Rafferty.
The reunion special on US network ABC will also include a message from Martine.
In October 2022, Martine revealed that she turns down most job offers in order to spend time with her husband Jack, and their son Rafferty, seven.
She struggled to have children, encountering several miscarriages due to Lyme disease which caused her body to be too weak to carry a child.
The former EastEnders actress explained how she's not going to get another child to share precious childhood moments with.
Martine explained to The Mirror: 'With filming, you have to be on call 24/7 and it's normally 17-hour days. So that's the reason why, for movies and TV dramas, I've taken a step back.
'We've only got the one child and I don't want to miss anything. I'm not going to get another one to get those moments with. When jobs come in for myself and Jack, we say, ''Family first for us''.'
'Rafferty is so precious… we're so lucky to have him. And what is the point if we're never going to be around to do the school pick-up or drop off?
'We have to say, ''OK, take that job and leave the other three.'' It's hard. You want to be able to do them all, but you just can't.'
BILLY MACK (BILL NIGHY)
Bill Nighy stole the show in Love Actually as an ageing rocker in search of one last hit for old time's sake - a role that won him a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.
The actor, now 72, has enjoyed a career resurgence in the years since the classic rom com was released, racking up roles in major franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Nighy has also lent his talents to several children's and young adult films, with roles in Detective Pikachu and Arthur Christmas. He also appeared in the 2016 film version of Dad's Army.
Known for his classic style and dapper suits, Nighy was listed as one of the 50 best-dressed over-50s by The Guardian in 2013 and one of GQ's 50 best-dressed British men in 2015.
JULIET (KEIRA KNIGHTLEY)
Keira Knightley's star continued to rise and rise after she appeared as Juliet in Love Actually at the age of 18.
In the years since, Knightley has gone on to deliver Oscar-nominated performances in Pride and Prejudice and The Imitation Game.
The British star, 37, has previously been listed among Hollywood's highest paid actresses.
Keira is married to Klaxons keyboard player James Righton, and the pair married in an intimate ceremony in the South of France in 2013.
The frugal starlet made sure to keep costs down by having just 11 guests at the wedding itself, and 50 at the reception.
Keira and James welcomed their first child, daughter Edie, now seven, in 2015.
They confirmed that they had welcomed their second child Delilah in September 2019 when they were seen pushing the baby in a pram on a walk in London.
PETER (CHIWETEL EJIOFOR)
His character Peter had few lines in Love Actually, but Chiwetel Ejiofor has become one of the most successful of the film's alumni.
He was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for his searing performance as Solomon Northup in the film 12 Years a Slave.
The actor also starred opposite Thandie Newton in the big-screen adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel, Half of a Yellow Sun.
He is also an acclaimed stage actor - his portrayal of Othello at the Donmar Warehouse in 2008 earned him an Olivier award for Best Actor.
Chiwetel, 45, has since starred in Doctor Strange, The Lion King, and The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.
MIA (HEIKE MAKATSCH)
German actress Heike Makatsch plays Mia, who makes her intentions towards her married boss - played by the late Alan Rickman - more than clear in the movie as staff prepare for the annual work Christmas party.
Bemused but intrigued, Harry buys Mia a necklace as a Christmas present, which his wife Karen (played by Emma Thompson) discovers and thinks is for her.
Karen holding back tears after tearing the wrapping paper off a CD from her husband - and realising he bought the necklace for another woman - is one of the most moving scenes in the film.
Since playing temptress Mia, Heike, a former flame of Daniel Craig, has appeared in German productions and also played Leisel's mother in the movie version of The Book Thief in 2013.
Heike, 51, has appeared on the panel of the German TV 'Goldene Kamera' Awards and lives in Berlin.
DAVID (HUGH GRANT)
Still going strong nearly 20 years after starring as newly elected British Prime Minister David in Love Actually, Hugh Grant remains an icon of the British screen.
Grant appears to pick and choose occasional film roles that appeal rather than working on back-to-back projects.
He appeared in the sci-fi drama Cloud Atlas in 2012 and won widespread acclaim for his role in Stephen Frears comedy drama Florence Foster Jenkins, opposite Meryl Streep.
Grant gave his talents to surprise hit film Paddington 2 in 2017 and a Very English Scandal in 2018, as well as The Gentlemen in 2019.
Since Love Actually, Grant has also become a father of five, welcoming children with two different women.
In September 2011 he had a daughter, Tabitha, with Tinglan Hong. In September 2012, Grant had his second child, a son, with Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein.
In December that year Hong gave birth to Grant's third child, a son, after they reunited briefly.
In December 2015 he and Eberstein had a second child together, a daughter, with their third child together born in early 2018. Grant and Eberstein married in May 2018.
SARAH (LAURA LINNEY)
Three-time Oscar nominee Laura Linney played Sarah in Love Actually, who prioritised caring for her brother over her secret crush on her colleague Karl in the movie.
Since playing Sarah, she's appeared in numerous acclaimed films, including Kinsey and The Savages.
She starred in Sully, the Clint Eastwood movie about a pilot who tried to make an emergency landing on New York's Hudson River, alongside Tom Hanks.
In 2017 she joined Netflix hit drama Ozark alongside Jason Bateman, a performance which saw her Screen nominated for the Actors Guild Award.
KAREN (EMMA THOMPSON)
Emma Thompson, who plays a wife who discovers her husband has bought a necklace for another woman, is responsible for many of Love Actually's most memorable scenes.
The acclaimed British actress, an Oscar and a BAFTA winner, has appeared in everything from Harry Potter to an instalment of Men in Black in the years since the movie's release.
She appeared in the most recent Bridget Jones movie alongside her fellow Love Actually cast-member Colin Firth, and was also part of the cast for Disney's action version of Beauty and the Beast.
In an exclusive clip of ABC's special, Dame Emma recalls watching Love Actually for the first time.
She says: 'Hugh came up behind me as we were walking out and said "is that the most psychotic thing we've ever been in?"'
Grant also reveals that he thought he would 'hate' the iconic dancing scene in Downing Street. 'But I will give myself the credit of having the secretary catch me,' he says.
In another clip, Curtis tells Sawyer: 'I do think that the way to think about life is that every day has the potential just to be gorgeous.'
JAMIE (COLIN FIRTH)
As Jamie, Colin Firth escapes to France after learning his brother has been sleeping with his other half behind his back.
But the would-be author finds love again with his Portuguese housekeeper in the Christmas classic.
Since then he's appeared in acclaimed films including The King's Speech, Tom Ford's A Single Man, and the John le Carré adaptation Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Colin went on to appear in Bridget Jones's Baby, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Mary Poppins Returns.

It’s officially December, which means it’s that time of year when many of us indulge in our favourite Chrismas movies! Including the popular and polarizing film, Love Actually. Enjoy this post from our Archives, in which Harlequin Editors discuss what we love and hate (and love to hate) about it!
Ah, it’s that time of year again when love is in the air, Christmas is all around, preteens cover Mariah Carey and that guy from The Walking Dead declares his undying love for his best friend’s wife with what you either consider a grand romantic gesture or the behavior of a stalker in the movie, Love, Actually.
Since Love, Actually was released to mixed reviews in 2003, it’s become a holiday favourite for many romance fans. We talked to some Harlequin editors to get their post- #MeToo take on Love, Actually. Below, we hear from Julia Williams, Lucy Gough, Patience Bloom, Allison Lyons, Katie Gowrie, Deirdre McCluskey, and an Anonymous Editor!
Patience: I still love Love, Actually because the characters are so loveable. But I have always had trouble with how the central female characters had these more submissive, sometimes negative and downtrodden positions in life: betrayed wife, sister who had to care for brother, the poor, promiscuous American girls…
Lucy: That storyline was so ridiculous! I keep expecting it to be a dream sequence or something. I also find it really annoying how the American girls are just bimbo props rather than actual characters!
Patience: The men are much more powerful: The aging rock star, the Prime Minister, Colin Firth is a popular thriller writer, Alan Rickman is the boss.
Katie: I agree, Patience, I think aspects of Love, Actually are problematic (I never really loved that Colin Firth storyline) but this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine!! I think it’s the lovable all-star cast – I just love seeing them all together with Christmas as a backdrop. 🙂
Julia: I love Colin Firth’s storyline! I don’t really care that they don’t understand one another. And I love all the misinterpretations. Also, the hunk gets the less conventionally pretty heroine. I’m all for that!
Personally, if I were Emma Thompson, I’d have kicked Alan Rickman out after Christmas. I DON’T EVEN CARE THAT IT’S ALAN RICKMAN. I would also have liked to have seen the PA’s [Mia] motivation. Why did she come on to him? To get a promotion? Because she fancied him? She likes playing with fire? Who does that without very good reason?
Lucy: Emma Thompson is amazing in this (and everything). Alan Rickman’s character is awful and really annoys me at the end when he calls himself a classic fool – like it wasn’t really his fault! Also, he should have just told Mia to knock off the intense office flirting when she started. Imagine those scenes with a gay man playing the PA role or swapped between a female boss and male PA–how quickly would he have been in HR!
Allison: I have many thoughts about this movie. First of all, I love it and watch it every year. I live for the moment Hugh Grant dances to Jump (For Your Love), although it’s much too short.
I also love when he finally realizes what an idiot he’s been and goes to find the woman he loves and meets her entire family. But I HATE that they all consider her fat. I mean, seriously?? I also hate that the US President hits on her. What a lout. Though I guess it was preparing us for what was to come like 13 years later!
Lucy: I think Martine McCutcheon’s character is shamed a lot because of her size – which isn’t even that big! It also seems slightly stupid that we’re supposed to buy into Colin luring four girls into bed on the strength of his UK accent but a man couldn’t possibly fall in love with anyone bigger than a size 12! Also, the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) “redistributing her” after the American president harasses her is really bad! And the fact that she apologises in the Christmas card when it wasn’t her fault is ridiculous! This totally could’ve ended with a lawsuit rather than a love scene!
Julia: I didn’t have a problem with Martine McCutcheon being referred to as fat (when she really isn’t). Having NEVER seen a film up until then when the dashing hero goes for the rather plumper girl than the skinny blonde model, I remember rather cheering at that! And I still like it, because Martine McCutcheon’s character is so engaging and it is SOOOO sweet that she ends up with Hugh Grant.
Deirdre: It does seem a textbook case of wrongful dismissal to me! But I agree that both Martine McCutcheon and Hugh Grant are so charming, I glossed over that the first several times I watched the movie and just rolled with the Cinderella plotline. But what about the Andrew Lincoln/Keira Knightley storyline? So many people find that one totally romantic.
Julia: When I saw the film, I went “Eww” at the Andrew Lincoln stalking Keira Knightley bit.
Lucy: I agree with Julia, this is super creepy – especially the wedding video of just her face–what was he planning on doing with that!!!
Julia: I feel desperately sorry for Laura Linney (Sarah). Karl is an arse of the highest order.
Allison: The fact that Laura Linney will never have an HEA is heartbreaking. But the things we do for love of family are very realistic here.
Lucy: Karl is AWFUL – it upsets me that they made him so terrible when Colin has a stupid fake happy ending but Sarah doesn’t! And Karl is sort of painted as this tragic romantic hero – SO ANNOYING.
Deirdre: I think the movie is really uneven. But the best parts are soooo good! I could watch Bill Nighy in absolutely anything.
Julia: Bill Nighy is TOTALLY THE BESSSSSSST. I love the moment when he realises his agent is the love of his life.
Lucy: And I like the way that storyline draws attention to the fact that not all love is romantic.
Katie: Agreed! I found this happy ending to be the most touching of all the stories, actually.
Julia: I absolutely love the scene when Thomas Sangster chases after Olivia Olson at the airport.
Patience: The little boy running into Liam Neeson’s arms at the end ALWAYS makes me cry.
Deirdre: So many good and bad things about the movie. I agree with Katie that it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure. Although, I used to watch it every year and now I just want to fast-forward through the uncomfortable bits and watch the highlights. There are definitely many missed opportunities to see some fully fleshed-out female characters with all those wonderful actors.
Julia: I still really enjoy it. My problem with it from day one was there are too many characters and story lines to get wholly invested in it. But the bits I liked when it came out, I still like. I don’t really find too much problematic now, because I think we read far too much into things these days, that were never intended and the audience at the time weren’t offended by. The internet has totally destroyed debate. Everything is binary now. There is no room for nuanced discussion. Drives me crazy.
Lucy: Despite some of it enraging me I still like it and I’ll probably still watch it again this Christmas. I think that has a lot to do with liking it when it came out (I was 17 and it seemed super romantic at the time!) and only noticing problems with it later on. I’m not sure I’d be as forgiving if it came out now. And I think this is true of a lot of stuff that I used to love and now has glaring problems – Friends, for example.
Anonymous Editor: I hate it. It’s beyond sexist, none of the individual couples gets a sufficiently developed story, and why don’t we get the end of the Keira Knightley romance?
Patience: I still love the movie and watch it often. And I would clean Colin Firth’s house any day.
Now I want to watch it again…

As Christmas fast approaches, there's one film that's pretty much guaranteed to be on our collective watchlists: Love Actually, of course.
With an all-star cast including the likes of Hugh Grant, Keira Knightly, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson side-by-side, Love Actually holds its own as a Christmas classic - originally airing back in 2003. Plus, some of the movie's younger cast members (remember Sam and Joanna?) have grown up to star in some of our favourite new films and TV shows too.
So, if you're rewatching Love Actually this winter, here's a run through of what the cast look like now, and what they've all been doing in the 18 years since the film was released.
Emily Gulla was Cosmopolitan UK’s Former Editorial Assistant/Junior Entertainment and Lifestyle Writer, covering celebs, TV and film for the site, magazine and video. She’s interviewed the casts of your favourite TV shows, from Bridgerton to Derry Girls and Stranger Things, as well as dozens of Love Islanders. She also loves getting stuck into long-read features, writing on all things digital culture (including her favourite topic: memes), and dating - having appeared on the radio to discuss dating.
Emily's work has also been published on ELLE, Women's Health, Harper's Bazaar, Digital Spy and more. She holds a First Class degree in English with Film Studies from King's College London, and even wrote her dissertation on Love Island. You can find Emily on Instagram and LinkedIn, and can see more of her work on her website.

What the cast of 'Love Actually' is doing now: Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth and more.

In the long list of movies that have become timeless classics that transcend generations, 2003’s Love Actually is undoubtedly up there. The movie, which stars Hollywood powerhouses like Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Laura Linney, just to name a few, tells a multitude of different stories to show how love, in its many shapes and forms, is “all around.”
“It seems to me that love is everywhere,” Grant’s character, who’s the British Prime Minister, says in the opening voiceover, per USA Today. “Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there: fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.”
From the undeniable connection between a British writer (Firth) and his Portuguese housekeeper (Lucia Moniz), to the growing connection between a little boy (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) and his stepdad (Neeson), the movie will warm the heart of any viewer (as well as making them reach for a handkerchief every once in a while too).
So, in honor of the movie’s 20th anniversary this year (I know, we can barely believe it ourselves!), we’ve decided to check out what the cast of the movie is doing now. Are they still acting? Did they find their forever love?
Lastly, before we dive in on what the cast is doing now, we’ll note that Alan Rickman, who plays Thompson’s husband Harry in the movie, sadly passed away a few years ago in 2016. May he rest in peace.

If you have arrived at this article thinking you will be receiving a manifesto proclaiming the flawlessness and moral merits of this very dated 2000s Christmas classic, you are in the wrong place. The same goes for those wading in, hoping to feed some strange sense of superiority born out of hatred for this film. Here is a gingerbread cookie for you, now move along.
What I will be doing in this listicle is ranking all the storylines of this film, praising some with all the fondness of the world and gleefully dunking on others.
I should probably warn that there will be much more of the former than the latter. What can I say, it is rather easy to love something despite all its flaws. Same goes for people. Wait, is that what this film is about?
10. Harry & Mia
Summary: A married man gets a bit too close to his secretary.
Favorite quote: "'Tis but the work of a moment" (Because Rowan Atkinson's gift-wrapping sabotage is the only uplifting part.)
Awful, awful, awful.
9. John & Judy
Summary: Sparks fly between two sex scene stand-ins.
Favorite quote: "It's junction 13 that's just murder, isn't it? Total gridlock this morning" (while simulating sex).
When I look at all the storylines that were cut out of the film, I must wonder what special attributes this one had to make it to the final version. The couple had no tangible connections to other characters and their story, although cute, has very little say.
The only purpose their scenes seem to do is serve as the worst possible moments for your parents to walk into (speaking from experience).
8. David & Natalie
Summary: The newly elected prime minister develops the hots for a member of his staff.
Favorite line: "Hello, does Natalie live here?" (repeated around a hundred times).
It is strange seeing how high some other Love Actually aficionados rank this storyline, considering this is one of my least favorites.
There are the "funny" little quips about Natalie's weight, her getting sexually harassed by the US president (what even is this movie?), and prime minister Hugh Grant making it allllll about himself. But my greatest problem is the fact that this human poop emoji either got her fired or demoted because he caught feelings for her. Get an employment lawyer and chuck that tosser, Natalie!
The only saving grace of this storyline is the delightful hallway dance scene and some other cute moments which save it from the very bottom.
7. Sarah & Karl
Summary: A shy woman with a mentally ill brother gets a chance with her workplace crush.
Favorite line: — "And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?”
— "Um... Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and 30 minutes."
The most commentary relating to this storyline reiterates the same two things; how depressing and frustrating it is. Sarah should not have picked up the phone. She should have pursued the romance with Karl and lived happily ever after.
When I was younger, I thought so too and felt an overpowering urge to angrily skip all scenes with Sarah. But as the years roll on by, the more Karl's line "Will it make him better?" irks me.
Indeed, Sarah doesn't have to pick up the phone. No one can reasonably expect her to do so. But she loves his brother. So she does.
That love, as painful and overtly self-sacrificing as it is, has started to resonate with me more than whatever she could have had with Karl.
6. Colin & the American girls
Summary: A young man pursues an ambitious mission in the US despite his friend's discouragement. Favorite line: — “You'll come back a broken man.”
— “Yes, back broken. From too much sex.”
What wonderful nonsense.
The entire storyline of Colin setting on his foolhardy journey to woo American chicks and eventually finding not one, not two, NOT EVEN THREE, but four girls that find him absolutely irresistible shouldn't be real. In fact, when revisiting this movie with only hazy memories of it, I always consider a How I Met Your Mother-esque narrative technique; maybe the story is more of a reflection of Colin's character than an accurate depiction of the events.
But then he brings two girls back to the UK with him, proving everything was real. And I realize, that actually, it makes perfect sense.
This is a magical goddamn Christmas movie. Of course it happened. Of course.
5. Karen & Harry
Summary: A wife comes to a heartbreaking realization about her husband (see 10).
Favorite line: — "I am so in the wrong. A classic fool."
— "Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me. You've made the life I lead foolish, too."
Where were you when you first saw Emma Thompson receive a Joni Mitchell CD for Christmas? I was a small child in my family's living room, not really understanding, yet going through the same heartbreak as Karen, beat by beat.
There is something about the universal sympathy felt by this film's repeat audiences that probably makes this one of the most memorable storylines. It often makes me think of the image of a broken heart etched over my DVD disc of this movie. Strange choice for a film that is supposedly a romantic Christmas romcom. But it is not, not really.
That is probably the reason this is one of my favorite “romantic” films. Not every storyline can be wrapped up in a happy little package. We do not know if Karen and Harry were able to reconcile or not. But does it matter?
What really makes an impression on us is what we feel when Emma Thompson softly cries, alone in her bedroom, while Joni Mitchell sings.
4. Jamie & Aurélia
Summary: An English man and a Portuguese woman fall in love despite the lack of a shared language.
Favorite line: "Oh my God, I've got a terrible stomachache. It must have been the prawns" (Jamie's first, heart-swelling sentence in Portuguese as he starts his studies).
Out of all the more traditional romance storylines, this is likely my favorite.
There is not much to say which is very apt because the two characters also have no easy way of communicating. There are just a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings all around.
3. Billy Mack & Joe
Summary: A washed-up pop legend and his manager chase the top spot of Christmas charts.
Favorite line: "Kids, do not buy drugs. Become a pop star and they give them to you for free!"
Depending on my mood while watching the film, this storyline has easy potential to shoot to the top of the list. There is a certain unique, unabashed beauty about how this relationship is portrayed. It is not a romance, nor is it a depiction of a strictly platonic male friendship. It skirts about in the space between the two, and that I cannot help but adore.
Sometimes what you feel for another person cannot be defined in any easy terms, but it still leads you to declining the hottest party invite of the year in order to sit on the couch with your manager (the actual love of your life).
2. Juliet, Peter & Mark
Summary: Being in love with your best friend's wife is probably a bad idea.
Favorite line: "It's a... self-preservation thing, you see."
You might be wondering what this storyline is doing so high up in the list. Hear me out.
There is an unfortunate tendency to judge this storyline as a romance. It is no wonder it falls short, forced inside these parameters. What unfolds in front of our eyes here is not supposed to be romantic. The very opposite in fact. The scene where Juliet uncovers the truth about Mark's feelings through the unfortunate wedding footage has more the feeling of a slowly impending train wreck. It is supposed to be uncomfortable and beyond inappropriate. We are watching Mark's most shameful secret being dragged into daylight, and it burns.
The world would be a lot simpler if we had total authority over our hearts. Each of us have had our share of feelings that, in retrospect, seem ugly, messy, and uncalled for. Unrequited love counts among the most painful of the sort. Is it any wonder why Mark looks like he'd rather be mauled by an 18-wheeler than stay in the room with Juliet one second longer after she has finished watching the tape? One of my favorite scenes of the entire film is watching Mark break down as he walks the streets of London afterward, as the rather innocently cheesy song choice of Here with me blares in the background.
Then there is the infamous sign scene which I would argue is iconic for a reason. It has been parodied to death as a very convoluted and inartful love confession, even though I feel it is an antithesis to that. Mark finally tells the truth without expectations or an agenda. Juliet deserves as much. It is the thing he needs to do to finally let go.
Once again, I recall the broken heart. Every storyline is not a romance with a happy ending, but they are all love stories, as in, stories about love.
This one is probably the most painfully human of them all.
1. Daniel & Sam (& Joanna)
Summary: A father attempts to navigate his grief after losing his wife while trying to help his young son with his love troubles.
Favorite line: — "Aren't you a bit young to be in love?"
— (gravely) “No."
I will freely admit that this list is subjective. Not only due to the personal opinions I hold, but also in regard to the time and place of writing. The answer might not be the same if you ask me about my favorite storyline a year from now, three years, or a decade later. But isn’t it nice that we can focus on what serves us best, right in this given point?
You see, I recently lost a family member.
That is probably all the explanation some people need for the ranking, but I will still elaborate on my thoughts on this storyline.
There is something almost unjustly poignant about ever-young Thomas Brodie-Sangster's sweet love story during a period of grief. Like Daniel, his father, the audience does not question it. We have no right to, even if we question the depth of his feelings due to his young age or his difficult family situation. We don't because we have all needed something like this.
And that I could only characterize that need as desperate yearning for hope amid suffering. Which is what made me eventually reach for this movie with my mother after we learned of our own tragic news.
I always forget there are still two scenes left in the film when this storyline wraps up. It feels like such a natural end point, the culmination of all the built-up emotion of the preceding scenes. And perhaps I should accept my false memories of the finale. It is too perfect the way it is in my head; Sam running through the airport, security chasing him, leaping over everything that stands between him and the love of his young life. Fortuitously, the musician Billy Mack performs an absolutely hilarious, yet somehow heartwarming pants-dropping stunt on live TV as he’d promised earlier, buying the boy the distraction he needs to reach the gate in time. In the meanwhile, Colin Firth's character marches up to propose to his beloved with the whole Portuguese village trailing behind him, building up to another beautiful climax.
The music crescendos. Sam makes it to Joanna. She gives him a kiss on the cheek. For the most precious second, as he is filled with all the love and happiness that exists in the world, the boy can but run into his father's arms.
It is magical.

Love Actually is a 2003 romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The Christmas film features an ensemble cast, composed predominantly of British actors, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous projects. An international co-production of the United Kingdom, United States, and France, it was mostly filmed on-location in London. The film delves into different aspects of love as shown through 10 separate stories involving a variety of individuals, many of whom are interlinked as the plot progresses. The story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place in the New Year.
The film was released in the US on 14 November 2003 and a week later in the UK during its theatrical run. Love Actually was a box-office success, grossing $245 million worldwide on a budget of $40 million. The film received mixed reviews and a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
A made-for-television short film sequel, Red Nose Day Actually, aired in two different versions on BBC One and NBC in 2017.
A voice-over opens the film, commenting that whenever the narrator gets gloomy about the state of the world, he thinks of the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport, and the pure and uncomplicated love of lovers, friends and families welcoming their loved ones. He also points out that the messages from the 9/11 victims were messages of love and not hate. The story then switches among the interconnecting "love stories" of many people:
With his long-time manager Joe (Gregor Fisher), rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a Christmas version of the Troggs' 1967 song "Love Is All Around", titling it "Christmas Is All Around". Although believing the record is terrible, Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single, which it does. He foregoes a victory party hosted by Elton John to celebrate Christmas with Joe, getting drunk and watching porn.
Juliet and Peter's wedding (Keira Knightley and Chiwetel Ejiofor) is videotaped by the best man, Mark (Andrew Lincoln), where a surprise band plays the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" as they walk out of the church. Although the couple believes Mark dislikes Juliet, it is later revealed that he is actually in love with her.
When he evades her requests to see the video he shot at the wedding, she shows up at his flat. Juliet insists she wants them to be friends, but when she views the wedding video Mark recorded, she sees many extreme close-ups of herself and a few of Peter's face. She realises Mark's true feelings towards her. After an uncomfortable silence, Mark blurts out that he acts coldly toward her out of "self-preservation".
On Christmas Eve, Juliet answers the doorbell to find Mark carrying a boombox playing a Christmas carol and large cue cards. While Peter is inside watching television, Mark shows a message of his love to Juliet through a series of cue cards. As he walks away down the street, Juliet runs after him, gives him a quick kiss, and returns inside. Mark walks away, uttering "Enough", to imply he can be content as friends.
Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) is pushed by his girlfriend to attend Juliet and Peter's wedding alone as she is ill. He returns before the reception to check on her, discovering she is having sex with his brother. Crushed, Jamie withdraws to his French cottage, where he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), who does not speak English. Despite not sharing a common language, a mutual attraction grows.
Jamie returns to the United Kingdom, realises he is in love with Aurélia and begins learning Portuguese. He returns to France to find her and ends up walking through town with her father and sister, gathering additional people as they walk to her waitressing job. In basic, and often grammatically incorrect, Portuguese, he declares his love for her and proposes. She says yes in broken English, showing she too had been studying English "just in cases", as the crowd erupts in applause.
Harry (Alan Rickman) is the managing director of a design agency. Mia (Heike Makatsch) is his secretary. Harry is happily married to Karen (Emma Thompson), a stay-at-home mother. They have two children, Bernard and Daisy (Lulu Popplewell). Mia behaves in an overtly sexual way with him at the office and asks him for a Christmas present. At the company Christmas party held at Mark's gallery, they dance closely.
While Christmas shopping, Harry calls Mia and asks what she wants for Christmas. He is almost caught by his wife purchasing an expensive necklace with a gold heart pendant from the jewelry department when the salesman, Rufus (Rowan Atkinson), takes an inordinate amount of time to wrap it. Later, Karen finds the necklace in Harry's coat pocket and assumes it is for her. Opening a similarly shaped box on Christmas Eve, she is heartbroken to find it is a Joni Mitchell CD, realises he bought the necklace for someone else, and cries in their bedroom alone. She keeps a happy face so as not to ruin her family's holiday. She confronts Harry and asks what he would do if he were her. She feels he has made a mockery of their marriage and of her. Harry comes clean and admits that he has been foolish.
David (Hugh Grant), Karen's brother and the recently elected Prime Minister, is single. Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) is a new junior member of the household staff at 10 Downing Street. During a meeting with the US president (Billy Bob Thornton), they pass Natalie, and the president makes inappropriate comments to David about her. Later, David walks in on Natalie who is serving tea and biscuits to the president, and finds him kissing her. Natalie seems embarrassed, and the president has a sly grin on his face. At the following joint press conference, David is uncharacteristically assertive while taking a stand against the president's intimidation techniques.
Feeling uncomfortable around Natalie, David has her moved to another position. He is spurred to action on Christmas Eve when he finds a Christmas card from her in his red box, declaring that she is his and only his. He finds her after a door-to-door search of her street. Her entire family is on their way to a multi-school Christmas play, and he offers to drive them so he can talk to her. As Natalie sneaks him into the school, he runs into his heartbroken sister, Karen, who believes he is there for his niece and nephew. As David and Natalie try to keep from being seen and watch from backstage, they finally kiss. Everyone sees them kissing as the curtain rises.
Daniel (Liam Neeson), Karen's close friend, mourns the recent death of his wife, Joanna, as he tries to care for his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster). Sam has fallen for an American classmate, also named Joanna (Olivia Olson), and after talking with his stepfather, decides to learn the drums to accompany her in the big finale for their school's Christmas pageant at Karen and Harry's children's school. Sam feels he has missed his chance to impress her, but Daniel convinces him to try to tell Joanna how he feels at the airport before she returns to the US. Sam slips through airport security and catches up with her. She acknowledges him by name, which surprises him. Sam returns to Daniel to tell him, and Joanna follows him, surprising him again, and kisses him on the cheek.
A subplot in this storyline involves Daniel stating a few times his wish to date Claudia Schiffer. Eventually, Daniel meets Carol (portrayed by Schiffer) who is the mother of Sam's schoolmate, and there is a mutual spark.
Sarah (Laura Linney) first appears at Juliet and Peter's wedding, sitting next to her friend Jamie. An American working at Harry's graphic design company, she is in love with the creative director, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). Prompted by Harry, they finally connect at the Christmas party, and Karl drives her home. Sarah invites Karl in and they immediately pull off their clothes and begin to get intimate when Michael (Michael Fitzgerald), her mentally ill brother, telephones from a psychiatric hospital, aborting their tryst. On Christmas Eve, they are both working late. Karl tries to find words but just wishes her a merry Christmas and leaves. In tears, Sarah calls Michael and visits him to give him a Christmas gift.
After unsuccessfully attempting to woo various British women, including Mia and Nancy (Juliet and Peter's wedding caterer; Julia Davis), Colin Frissell from Basildon (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) that he plans to go to the US, convinced that his Britishness will be an asset. Landing in Milwaukee, Colin hails a taxi and asks the driver to take him to the nearest bar. There, he immediately meets Stacey (Ivana Miličević), Jeannie (January Jones), and Carol-Anne (Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who instantly fall for his Estuary English accent, inviting him to stay at their home, where they are joined by their 'sexiest' roommate Harriet (Shannon Elizabeth).
John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) are professional stand-ins for films. They meet doing the sex scenes for a film for which Tony is a production assistant. John tells Judy, "It's lovely to find someone I can actually chat to." While they are perfectly comfortable being naked and simulating sex on-set, they are shy and tentative off-set. They carefully pursue a relationship, attending the Christmas pageant (involving David and Natalie, Harry and Karen's children, Daniel and Sam, etc.) at the local school with John's brother. They get engaged by the end of the film.
Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) is the jewellery salesman whose meticulous gift-wrapping nearly results in Karen seeing Harry buying a necklace for Mia. In another scene, his distraction of airport staff enables Sam to sneak past them to talk to Joanna. (In the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel, but this was dropped from the final script.)
A month later, all the characters are seen at Heathrow Airport. Billy's Christmas single has spurred a comeback. Juliet, Peter, and Mark meet Jamie and his bride, Aurélia. Karen and the kids greet Harry, but Karen's stilted reaction suggests they are struggling to move past his affair. Sam greets Joanna, who has returned from America, and Daniel is joined by his new girlfriend, Carol, and her son. Newlyweds John and Judy, heading off to their honeymoon, run into Tony who is awaiting Colin's return from America. Colin returns with Harriet and her sister Carla, who meets Tony for the first time but greets him with a hug and a kiss on the lips. Natalie welcomes David back from his flight in view of the press, showing their relationship is now public. These scenes dissolve into footage of actual arrivals at Heathrow, as the screen is divided into an increasing number of smaller segments to form a photographic mosaic of a heart.
All the stories are linked in some way; while Billy Mack and his manager may not connect with any of the other characters physically, Billy appears frequently on characters' radios and TVs, his music video twice providing an important plot device for Sam's pursuit of Joanna, and they also cross paths with the other characters in the closing Heathrow scene. John and Judy work with Tony, who is best friends with Colin, who works for a catering company that services the office where Sarah, Karl, Mia, and Harry work. Mia is friends with Mark, who runs the art gallery where the Christmas office party takes place. Mia also lives next door to Natalie. Mark is in love with Juliet and friends with Peter. The couple is friends with Jamie and Sarah. Harry is married to Karen, who is friends with Daniel, and her brother is David, who works with Natalie. Harry and Karen's children (and thus David's niece and nephew), Natalie's siblings (and thus Mia's neighbours), and Carol's son are all schoolmates of Sam and Joanna. Daniel proclaims that his late wife was the only one for him unless Claudia Schiffer were to call him up. Carol is played by Claudia Schiffer.

Initially, Curtis started writing with two distinct and separate films in mind, each featuring expanded versions of what would eventually become storylines in Love Actually: those featuring Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.[3] He changed tack and became frustrated with the process.[4] Partly inspired by the films of Robert Altman as well as films such as Pulp Fiction, and inspired by Curtis having become "more interested in writing a film about love and what love sort of means" he had the idea of creating an ensemble film.[4] The film initially did not have any sort of Christmas theme, although Curtis's penchant for such films eventually caused him to write it as one.[5]
Curtis's original concept for the film included fourteen different scenarios, but four of them were cut (two having been filmed).[6] The scene in which Colin attempts to chat up the female caterer at the wedding appeared in drafts of the screenplay for Four Weddings and a Funeral, but was cut from the final version.[8] The music video for Billy Mack's song, "Christmas Is All Around", is a tribute to Robert Palmer's 1986 video, "Addicted to Love".[6] Curtis has spoken negatively about the editing process for the film, which he labelled in 2014 as a "catastrophe" and "the only nightmare scenario that I've been caught in".[9] The film was rushed in order to be ready for the 2003 Christmas season which he likened to "three-dimensional chess".[9] For the scene in which Rowan Atkinson's character Rufus annoys Harry, Alan Rickman's reaction was reportedly genuine, having been "driven insane" by the time constraints.[10] Hugh Grant disliked filming the dance scene as he called it "excruciating" and "absolute hell".[11][12]
Ant & Dec played themselves in the film with Bill Nighy's character referring to Dec as "Ant or Dec". This refers to the common mistaking of one for the other, owing to their constant joint professional presence as a comedy and presenting duo. The veteran actress Jeanne Moreau is seen briefly, entering a taxi at the Marseille Airport. The soul singer Ruby Turner appears as Joanna Anderson's mother, one of the backing singers at the school Christmas pageant.
Curtis cast his mother-in-law, actress Jill Freud, as the Prime Minister's cleaner.[13]
Curtis cast his daughter Scarlett in the film; she was given the choice of being an angel or a lobster, and played the part of Lobster number 2 in the nativity play, on the condition that she meets Keira Knightley.[14]
Helder Costa plays Mr Barros, Aurelia's father. He is a veteran actor in Portuguese cinema.[15]
Emma Thompson used the experience of her own marriage breaking up for the role of Karen.[16]
Joe Alwyn auditioned for the role of Sam; Alwyn read scenes with Grant and Curtis.[17]
Curtis originally had two actors in mind for the part of Billy Mack, but he couldn't decide and then told casting director Mary Selway to find someone who would do the part well but whom he would never think to cast; she suggested Bill Nighy.[18][19]
Most of the film was made on location in London, including Trafalgar Square, the central court of Somerset House in the Strand, Grosvenor Chapel on South Audley Street near Hyde Park, St Paul's Church, Clapham, the Millennium Bridge, Selfridges department store on Oxford Street, Lambeth Bridge, the Tate Modern in the former Bankside Power Station, Canary Wharf, Marble Arch, St. Luke's Mews off All Saint's Road in Notting Hill, Chelsea Bridge, the OXO Tower, London City Hall, Poplar Road in Herne Hill, Elliott School in Pullman Gardens, Putney, Heathrow Airport and the Marseille Airport. Scenes set in 10 Downing Street were filmed at Shepperton Studios.[20]
Following Tony Blair's resignation as Prime Minister, pundits and speculators commented on a potential anti-American shift in Gordon Brown's cabinet as a "Love Actually moment", referring to the scene in which Hugh Grant's character stands up to the US president.[21][22][23] In 2009, during President Barack Obama's first visit to the UK, Chris Matthews referred to the president in Love Actually as an example of George W. Bush and other former presidents' bullying of European allies. Commenting on this, Mediaite's Jon Bershad described the U.S. president character as a "sleazy Bill Clinton/George W. Bush hybrid".[24] In the scene in question, the swaggering president bullies the prime minister and then sexually harasses a member of the household staff. In September 2013, David Cameron made a speech in reply to Russia's comment that Britain was a small insignificant country, which drew comparisons with Hugh Grant's speech during the film.[25]
One storyline consisting of two scenes, featuring the only gay love story, was cut and not included.[26] In the first scene, Anne Reid, as the headmistress of Karen's children's school, is revealed going home to her terminally ill partner, Geraldine, played by Frances de la Tour.[27] In the second scene, while speaking at the Christmas concert, Karen acknowledges Geraldine's recent death. Curtis said he regretted losing this storyline.[28]

The US edition of the soundtrack removed two pieces of the score and "Sometimes" by Gabrielle and reordered the tracklist. It also replaced the Girls Aloud cover of "Jump (For My Love)" with the original by The Pointer Sisters, and replaced Maroon 5's "Sweetest Goodbye" with a medley of "Sweetest Goodbye" with "Sunday Morning".
The film's original score was composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Craig Armstrong. It was commercially unreleased until 19 November 2021, when it was released digitally by Universal Pictures' Back Lot Music, and on CD by La-La Land Records.[29]
The soundtrack album reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, and by Christmas 2018 it had spent 348 weeks on the Chart.[33] It reached the top forty on the US Billboard 200 in 2004 and ranked second on the Top Soundtracks chart.
The UK and US versions of the actual film contain two instances of alternative music. In the UK cut, the montage leading up to and continuing through the first part of the office party is set to the song "Too Lost in You", by the British group Sugababes. In the US version of the film, this song is replaced with "The Trouble with Love Is", performed by the American singer Kelly Clarkson. Subsequently, in the UK version's end credit roll, the second song is a cover of "Jump (For My Love)" performed by Girls Aloud; in the US version, this song is replaced with "Too Lost in You".
Several songs were heard in the film but did not appear on either soundtrack:
"Bye Bye Baby (Baby Goodbye)" performed by Bay City Rollers
"Puppy Love" performed by S Club Juniors
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" performed by Tessa Niles
"River" performed by Joni Mitchell

Love Actually grossed $59.7 million in the United States and Canada, $62.7 million in the United Kingdom, and $122.6 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $244.9 million, against a budget of $40 million.[34] It spent its first five weeks in the Top 10 at the U.S. box office.[35]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 64% of 225 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "A sugary tale overstuffed with too many stories. Still, the cast charms."[36] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 55 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[37]
Michael Atkinson of The Village Voice called it "love British style, handicapped slightly by corny circumstance and populated by colorful neurotics".[38] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half out of four stars, describing it as "a belly-flop into the sea of romantic comedy ... The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: ... It feels a little like a gourmet meal that turns into a hot-dog eating contest."[39]
Nev Pierce of the BBC awarded it four of a possible five stars and called it a "vibrant romantic comedy ... Warm, bittersweet and hilarious, this is lovely, actually. Prepare to be smitten."[40]
In his review in The New York Times, journalist A. O. Scott called it "a romantic comedy swollen to the length of an Oscar-trawling epic" and added, "It is more like a record label's greatest-hits compilation or a very special sitcom clip-reel show than an actual movie."[41]
In Rolling Stone, Peter Travers rated it two stars out of a possible four, saying "there are laughs laced with feeling here, but the deft screenwriter Richard Curtis dilutes the impact by tossing in more and more stories."[42] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic was negative toward the work and described it as the least romantic movie of all time, considering its ultimate message to be "It's probably best if you give up on love altogether and get on with the rest of your life."[43][44]
Since its initial release Love Actually has become a cult film with audiences habitually viewing it as a holiday staple.[45][46] It remains broadly popular with audiences and has been discussed as an arguable modern-day Christmas classic.[47][48][49][50]

The landmark Christmas movie Love Actually turns 20 next year. To mark the occasion, the American television channel ABC brought together cast members for a TV holiday special. Stars such as Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy and Emma Thompson shared their thoughts about the film’s legacy. But what about the cast members of Love Actually? What have they been doing over the past two decades and where are they now?
Hugh Grant played David, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, who falls in love with his secretary, Natalie. When Love Actually was released, Grant was already a well-known actor, having starred in films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Notting Hill (1999), Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) and Sense and Sensibility (1995). In the ABC TV special, the actor confessed he was hesitant about the scene where he appears dancing in his home on Downing Street, which is one of the movie’s best-loved moments. “I saw it in the script and I thought, ’Well, I’ll hate doing that’,” he said. After Love Actually, Grant appeared in other movies such as Operation U.N.C.L.E (2015) and Paddington 2 (2017). But despite being one of the most famous British actors, he has never been nominated for an Oscar or won a Bafta.
Emma Thompson played Karen, a woman who discovers that her husband is flirting with his secretary. Years after the movie, Thompson recognized the role had special relevance to her life: her partner, actor and director Kenneth Branagh, had an affair with actress Helena Bonham Carter, which led to their separation. Thompson, who won Oscars for her roles in Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Howards End (1992), has since appeared in films such as Harry Potter and Beauty and the Beast (2017). Years after Love Actually, she also appeared in another movie alongside castmate Colin Firth: Bridget Jones’ Baby (2016).
Bill Nighy plays one of the film’s most memorable characters: Billy Mack, an aging rocker who discovers that the person most loyal to him is his manager. Since Love Actually, Nighy has appeared in more than 20 films, including Emma (2019), Pride (2014) and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011). He has also starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter movie sagas.
Laura Linney plays Sarah, a woman who receives constant calls from her mentally ill brother, who lives in a psychiatric hospital. At the same time, she is dealing with her feelings for a co-worker. Linney made her career debut in 1992, but played mostly supporting roles until 2000, when she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for You Can Count on Me. In 2007, she was nominated again, this time for her role in The Savages (2007), and in 2015, she was in the running for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Kinsey. Since Love Actually, she has also starred in the movies The Fifth Estate (2013) and Nocturnal Animals (2016), and the Netflix crime series Ozark.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster played Sam, a young boy who sneaks through airport security to say goodbye to a classmate. Nearly 20 years later, Brodie-Sangster has become a big name in movies and television. He starred alongside Dylan O’Brien in The Maze Runner (2014) film series, played Jojen Reed in the hit show Game of Thrones and appeared in the Netflix miniseries The Queen’s Gambit.
Andrew Lincoln played Mark, the character who declares his love to his best friend’s wife, in one of the best remembered (and imitated) scenes in Love Actually. Years later, the actor described his character as “a stalker.” When the movie came out, he was not well-known as he had only starred in a few movies and UK television shows. Since Love Actually, his most notable role has been as Rick Grimes in the acclaimed TV show The Walking Dead.
Keira Knightley starred in Love Actually when she was just 18 years old. In the film, she played Juliet, the object of affection of her husband’s best friend. Knightley was already a rising star when she appeared in the movie, having shot to fame thanks to Bend it like Beckham and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Following Love Actually, she starred in Pride and Prejudice (2005), which earned her an Oscar nomination, Anna Karenina (2012) and The Imitation Game (2014). A few years ago, the actress revealed that she hadn’t seen Love Actually since it premiered.
Colin Firth had another memorable role in Love Actually. He played Jamie, a man who travels to Portugal after discovering his wife was cheating on him. After Love Actually, Firth went on to appear in Nanny McPhee (2005), Mamma Mia! (2008) and A Single Man (2009), for which he earned an Oscar nomination. A year later, he won the award for his role as George VI in The King’s Speech.
Liam Neeson played Daniel, a widower who is trying to strengthen his relationship with his stepson Sam. In 2019, the actor also became a widower after his wife, Natasha Richardson – daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave – died in a skiing accident in Canada. Before Love Actually, Neeson had already appeared in around 20 films. He has since continued his successful career, appearing in movies such as Batman Begins (2005), Taken (2008), Chloe (2009) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
Martine McCutcheon gave life to the character of Natalie, who is in love with the prime minister. Unlike the rest of the cast, her career didn’t take off after the film, although she was already famous in the UK due to her role on long-running soap EastEnders. Although she landed several parts after Love Actually, it did not turn into a stable career and she eventually gave up acting. In 2020, she released an album of Christmas carols.

So this is Christmas. And what have you done? I’ve watched Love Actually a bunch of fucking times, John Lennon, that’s what I’ve done.
It’s one week till Christmas and I HAVE FAILED YOU. I missed a day yesterday. Illinois was covered in ice and I was trying to amuse small humans and small dogs and I MISSED IT. I MISSED A DAY. Forgive me.
Totally us IRL:
JK this is actually you IRL.
Hmph.
So I owe you A DOUBLE-GREAT DOUBLE-STUFFED LOVE ACTUALLY-PALOOZA TODAY. And as such I choose to focus on one of the great loves of my life, Colin Firth.
For, you see, Colin Firth is the Ted Mosby of this movie.
We start with Colin Firth’s Jamie repeatedly telling his girlfriend how much he loves her. She responds tenderly.
Which might be adorable couple banter if we didn’t find out she has sex with his brother, like, moments later.
Now, obviously, the fault is with Jamie’s garbage brother and garbage girlfriend, who is either a top-level sickness faker or is having lots of crazy boyfriend-brother sex while red-nosed and ill. But, let’s examine Jamie.
For one thing, he pops home between the wedding and reception to “see if she’s better.” Jamie. How do you think illness works? That was like a 30-minute wedding, max, and 28 minutes involved secret trumpeters appearing from the pews.
Also, he refers to Garbage Girlfriend as “the lady of the house” but is confused that she would let his brother in, confusedly saying “what a lovely obliging girl.” These are both super gross, condescending and infantilizing ways to refer to your live-in partner, by the way.
But was it so gross, condescending and infantilizing that you’d walk away from this sumptuous countryside getaway estate? Feminism is hard.
Jamie takes to France to be sad. We see from his conversation with Eleonore, the property lady, that this is possibly a frequent issue as he tells her she is “not surprised.” And then immediately falls madly in love with his housekeeper despite the fact they never have a conversation.
Mm-hmm.
Colin Firth, you need to love yourself. Based on your history, Aurelia might actually be moving to London with you so she can marry Prince William instead, like her sister told her to.

The cast of Love Actually are back on screen tonight (December 25), with the film being undoubtedly one of the most popular movies to watch at Christmas time.
But 19 years on since the British film hit the big screen, where are the stars now?
From heartbreaking splits to tragic losses, ED! looks at what happened to the cast of the festive flick…
Love Actually cast: Andrew Lincoln played Mark
Almost two decades on and Andrew Lincoln’s character Mark has come under much scrutiny.
The creepy chap is arguably stalking his best friend’s wife Juliet throughout the film and, in this day and age, it is clear his behaviour is not okay.
Since landing a role in the Love Actually cast as Mark, Andrew landed the huge part of Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead.
Next year, Andrew will star in a televised spin-off called Rick.
He has two children with his wife Gael Anderson.
Keira Knightley played Juliet
When she landed the part of Juliet in Love Actually, Keira had already enjoyed a successful movie career.
Things have gone from strength to strength, with the Brit actress starring in Colette, The Official Secrets Act and Misbehaviour.
In 2018, Keira received an Oscar nomination for The Imitation Game and she is the face of Chanel.
Married to musician James Righton, Keira has two young daughters.
Last year, Keira admitted she has never watched Love Actually again since its premiere in 2003.
Dame Emma Thompson played Karen
British icon Emma played mum-of-two Karen in Love Actually, who discovers her husband is considering cheating with his young co-worker.
Despite moving on to movie greats including Harry Potter, Nanny McPhee and Late Night, the heartbreak and emotion of Karen’s scenes have never left her.
Emma also suffered her own betrayal when her husband Kenneth Branagh had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter.
They had been married for eight years and split as a result, with Emma drawing on her own hurt when playing Karen.
She recently told Stella magazine: “That scene where my character is standing by the bed crying is so well known because it’s something everyone’s been through.
“I had my heart very badly broken by Ken. So I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn’t meant for me.”
Chiwetel Ejiofor played Peter
Chiwetel’s character Peter was secretly stitched up by his best mate Mark in Love Actually.
But despite Mark’s creepy crush, Peter and Juliet remained happily married.
Chiwetel’s film career exploded after the Christmas romcom.
In 2013 , he won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Solomon Northup in 12 Years A Slave.
Chiwetel was made a CBE two years later and voiced the part of Scar in the 2019 remake of The Lion King.
He does a huge amount of work for charity, too. Chiwetel was honoured with a Global Promise Award by The GEANCO Foundation in 2012 for his work in Nigeria.
The actor has also fought for the rights of refugees, alongside the United Nations.
Martin Freeman played John
Having found fame in The Office, Martin Freeman did not have the biggest role in the Love Actually cast.
His character John is best remembered for falling for his adult movie co-star Judy, played by Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page.
Martin has since broken Hollywood and won an Emmy Award, BAFTA and a Screen Actors Guild Award – plus a Golden Globe nomination – for his work.
The British actor has starred in The Hobbit, Black Panther and has appeared opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the TV series Sherlock.
Martin was in a relationship with his Sherlock co-star Amanda Abbington from 2000 to 2016 and they had two children together before they separated.
Love Actually cast: Liam Neeson played Daniel
Liam played grieving widower Daniel – and dad to son Sam – in Love Actually.
Tragically, the storyline became a reality to Liam in 2009 when his wife Natasha Richardson passed away.
Actress Natasha suffered a fatal head injury during a skiing trip in Canada.
Liam has since spoken of his grief, telling US show 60 Minutes in 2014 that it ‘continued to hit him like a wave’.
Since Love Actually, Liam’s career path has followed an action movie theme – most notably the Taken franchise.
Hugh Grant played the Prime Minister
British movie star Hugh took on the role of the Prime Minister in the Love Actually cast line up.
In the flick, he began a romance with his secretary Natalie, played by ex-EastEnders star Martine McCutcheon.
Proving his worth as king of the romantic comedy, Hugh has since starred in the Bridget Jones franchise, Did You Hear About The Morgans? and Music and Lyrics.
He also landed a leading role in the Paddington movies and A Very English Scandal.
Hugh is notoriously private about his personal life, though he did tie the knot with wife Anna four years ago.
The actor has five children, three with Anna and two with his ex Tinglan Hong.
Hugh’s ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley confirmed the arrival of Hugh’s fifth child in 2018, saying: “He had another one last week. He has five. He was over 50 when he spawned them all.”
Martine McCutcheon
Former soap star Martine played the Prime Minister’s love interest Natalie in Love Actually.
Ex-EastEnder Martine had hoped the move would launch her Hollywood career but sadly that didn’t come to much.
The actress then turned her attention to the stage and landed the lead role in the West End’s My Fair Lady.
But a devastating health diagnosis cut her contract short.
She was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, ME. Martine also found out she had Lyme disease shortly after.
Martine previously told The Sun: “That was scary when I was in a wheelchair or couldn’t shower on my own. I was totally reliant on everyone else. It was a very dark place to be.”
At her lowest, Martine was declared bankrupt and bailiffs took her £25,000 engagement ring.
Grit and determination has seen Martine battle back from the brink. She relaunched her music career in 2017 and has a large following on social media.
Martine has one son with her husband Jack McManus and they live in Surrey.
Alan Rickman played Harry
Alan played the role of cheating husband Harry in Love Actually.
Sadly, the actor died from cancer in 2016 and his passing left Emma Thompson, his on-screen wife, devastated.
Following his death, Emma penned a touching tribute to Alan. She described him as “the ultimate ally… In life, art and politics”.
Emma added: “He was, above all things, a rare and unique human being and we shall not see his like again.”
Alan had also starred in Harry Potter and the Die Hard films.
Colin Firth played Jamie
Colin’s Hollywood career has continued to sky-rocket since portraying heartbroken Jamie in Love Actually.
The actor went on to scoop an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG award for The King’s Speech.
He also starred in Oscar-winning film 1917 and a 2020 remake of The Secret Garden.
Away from the spotlight, Colin split from his Italian wife of 22-years, Livia Giuggioli, in 2019.
Film producer Livia became embroiled in rumours that she had cheated with a childhood friend Marco Brancaccia.
A statement released on behalf of Livia read: “A few years ago Colin and Livia privately made the decision to separate. During that time Livia briefly became involved with former friend Mr Brancaccia.”
Thomas Brodie-Sangster played Sam
Schoolboy Sam melted film fans’ hearts in Love Actually.
Actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster was just 13 when he took on the role.
Sam has continued with acting and is most recently known for playing Benny in The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix.
Now aged 30, he also portrayed Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy and had a cameo part in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Olivia Olson played Joanna
The sweet storyline between Sam and Olivia’s character Joanna captured Love Actually viewers’ imagination.
Sam declared he was “in love” with the American teen, who performed Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas, Is You at the end of the flick.
In 2019, Olivia appeared in Celebrity X Factor and is now a successful musician. She has also written several books.
Bill Nighy played Billy Mack
Bill played ageing and inappropriate rocker Billy Mack in Love Actually, leaving fans in hysterics.
During the same year as Love Actually, Bill starred in Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl.
He reprised the role of Davy Jones in the two sequels that followed.
Like many of his Love Actually cast mates, Bill also appeared in the Harry Potter movies – playing Rufus Scrimgeour in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
He has also starred in Pride, About Time and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Love Actually, 10.45pm, ITV, Christmas Day.

Love Actually may have been mainly focused on England-based romances — but it proved time and again that love is all around!
The rom-com begins five weeks before Christmas and takes viewers on multiple journeys of love and romance. In the weeks leading up to the holiday, 10 separate stories are told. The thing that binds them all together? Love.
Nearly two decades later, the heartwarming story still resonates with fans who feel it in their fingers and feel it in their toes.
“Keira [Knightley] was cast for the youthfulness and cheerfulness of her spirit, and she is still like that. Bill [Nighy] is everlastingly young and irresponsible; Liam [Neeson] terribly paternal,” creator Richard Curtis told The New York Times in May 2017, after reuniting with the cast for a Red Nose Day short film. “Hugh Grant behaved well for one week of the original shoot, very badly for the rest, and did exactly the same thing over one day now. It’s rather reassuring.”

As washed-up rock star Billy Mack, played by Bill Nighy, finally nails the lyrics to the festive version of Love is All Around (aptly renamed Christmas is All Around), he realises how awful the song is. His manager, grinning, agrees that it is rubbish - "solid-gold" rubbish.
And so the scene is set for Love Actually, a two-hour whirlwind of improbable, questionable and downright daft scenes of love, propped up by a star-studded cast.
The world may have moved on from dial-up internet, Apple's iPod and low-rise jeans - but two decades on, Richard Curtis's 2003 festive drama remains a Christmas classic, albeit a controversial one.
The interlinked romantic tales of middle-class characters professing their love at Christmas gets an annual grilling from critics, viewers and even some of those involved in the film, who point out the unrealistic portrayals of love, questionable character decisions and outdated jokes.
Few are more critical than Curtis himself, who seems to add a new regret to his list every Christmas.
In a cast reunion last year, the writer and director admitted the film was "bound in some moments to feel out of date" and that "the lack of diversity makes me feel uncomfortable and a bit stupid".
Perhaps that was his reason for opening his festive variety show, Christmas Actually, with a montage of people hugging at an airport and a Hugh Grant voiceover telling us love is shared not only at Christmas, but at Diwali, Eid and Hanukkah too.
Curtis has also called himself "unobservant" for including fat-shaming jokes that "aren't any longer funny", and said he had "let himself down" by cutting an LGBT storyline in the final edit.

'Nostalgic glow'
Despite the misjudgements and gaffes, what many viewers want from a festive film is what Love Actually provides: easy watching, a cosy Christmas setting and an unabashed celebration of love.
"I do not expect Christmas movies to be masterpieces with great social politics. I am happy for them to be cheesy romances," film critic Helen O'Hara tells the BBC.
"The incredible cast, really great moments that everyone likes and hilarious gags make us overlook the bad bits, and watching it today provides a nostalgic glow," she adds.
The amount of real love in the film can be debated, but everyone agrees that Grant gyrating The Pointer Sisters' 1983 track Jump around the No 10 offices is comedy gold.
The more the over-the-top, saccharine and ridiculous gestures of love are embraced, the more the film can be enjoyed.
Of course, the prime minister would never take a police escort to "the dodgy end of Wandsworth" on Christmas Eve to profess his love to Natalie, a junior member of his domestic staff, and no-one would declare their love to their best friend's wife, through the medium of A3 cue cards.
But it is these iconic, albeit slightly unhinged, scenes that continue to live on beyond the film.
It was real-life PM Boris Johnson who in the 2019 general election parodied the cue cards scene with the slightly less romantic declaration that "by next year Brexit will be done".
Then there is Dame Emma Thompson, Bafta nominated for her role as Karen, a mother-of-two who discovers her husband's near-affair with his smug-looking secretary, Mia.
"That scene in Love Actually where Emma Thompson opens the Joni Mitchell CD is one of the greatest scenes in movie history," wrote one fan on Twitter, now known as X.
On TikTok, the scene is the most watched from the film, with one post reaching almost 10 million views.

As Colin Firth falls into yet another pond (once in Pride and Prejudice was not enough), Rowan Atkinson makes a cameo as a high-end gift wrapper with a gift box that is "so much more than a bag", and Grant looks to Margaret Thatcher for relationship advice (the first and last time she has been called a "saucy minx"), the film has its fair share of wonderful, wacky and weird moments.
The secret to Love Actually's longevity?
Christmas.
At other times in the year, we might be more critical of naff storylines, schmaltzy acts of love and out-of-date jokes, but at Christmas we allow ourselves to be lulled by Hugh Grant's earnest optimism that "if you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love, actually, is all around".

Love Actually ranks right up there with the best holiday films of all time. This cult-favorite Christmas classic follows a cast of very different characters as they fall in and out of love. It then connects them all through their common bonds (a.k.a. love). It's a film that has been put in regular rotation during the holiday season for almost 20 years now—and for good reason.
Not only does the 2003 film have an iconic cast—Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, I could go on—but it also has a number of unexpected turns that keep you on your toes while still staying true to all the classic cliches you want in a Christmas movie. Now, the cast is getting back together to mark two decades since the movie's release in a new TV special that dropped on Nov. 27.

Funny, irresistible and heart-warming, Love Actually is set in contemporary London in the weeks before Christmas and tells one story which weaves together a spectacular amount of love stories – sometimes romantic, sometimes sad, sometimes stupid – all funny in their own way.
With the film becoming a Christmas tradition for many, audiences attending the Love Actually Film in Concert will be invited to to a unique way to watch the film: a full, live orchestra will perform Craig Armstrong’s evocative score at these shows, with the film being projected onto the big screen.
Everywhere you look it seems love is causing chaos. From the new bachelor Prime Minister who falls in love 30 seconds after entering Downing Street to a loser sandwich delivery guy who doesn’t have a hope with the girls in the UK so heads for Wisconsin; from a jilted writer who escapes the south of France to nurse his broken heart to an aging rock star trying to make a comeback at any price;, from a bride having problems with her husband’s best man to a married woman having trouble with her husband; from a schoolboy with a crush on the prettiest girl in the school to his architect step-father with a crush on Claudia Schiffer.
The film features an all-star ensemble cast, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley Rowan Atkinson, Martin Freeman, and many more.
Take a breathtaking tour of love’s delightful twists and turns as you fall under the spell of Love Actually and share in the laughs and charm live in concert.

Action star Liam Neeson has gone through a lot of changes since the 2003 release. Professionally, he has continued to appear on the silver screen in movies like The Taken franchise, The Grey, Cold Pursuit, The Marksman, Widows, Men in Black: International and Made in Italy. He has also continued to star in the Star Wars franchise.
Neeson lost his wife, actress Natasha Richardson, after a skiing accident in 2009. And like his Love Actually character Daniel, he has raised their two sons alone.
But despite it all, Neeson has remained positive and has continued to talk very highly about Love Actually.
"We've all lived lives," the actor said in a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly. "Some of us have died. Oh, my dear old friend Alan Rickman, God rest him. Some have gotten divorced. I've lost my wife. And, oh, sure, plenty of times I've thought about this film and my own life. Love Actually, that's the way it is. That's the tapestry of life."
Fun fact: He wanted to be in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) so badly that he did not even bother reading the script to see if it was good. He just knew it would be.
Best known for his brilliant performance as Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, Alan Rickman is nothing short of a silver screen icon. As well as the Harry Potter films and Love Actually, Rickman has also starred in Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and Sense and Sensibility. In 2022, Henry Holt and Co. released his authorized biography called Madly, Deeply: The Diaries of Alan Rickman, which contained his personal diary entries from 1993-2016, and the forward was written by co-star Emma Thompson.
He was also awarded the Golden Globe, Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild awards for his role as Rasputin in the 1996 television movie Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.
Sadly, in 2016, Rickman died from cancer at age 69. The final film he worked on before his death was Alice Through the Looking Glass, which was dedicated to him.
Fun fact: Despite being author J.K. Rowling's first choice to play Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, he was only given the role after Tim Roth (the studio's choice) backed out to star in Planet of the Apes (2001).
By the time Love Actually came out in 2003, Hugh Grant already had quite the roster of films on his résumé, including Sense and Sensibility, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary. The actor has since become an action star, starring in The Grey, Cold Pursuit and The Marksman. He also appeared in Widows, Men in Black: International and Made in Italy.
In 2018, Grant married TV producer Anna Elisabet Eberstein, and they share three children together. Grant also shares two children with Tinglan Hong.
Fun fact: Grant revealed he was reluctant to do that iconic dance scene — but said he is now proud he did it and was glad he was able to pull it off.
Two-time Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley has made quite a name for herself since Love Actually. Known for her historical fiction and fantasy roles in films like Pride & Prejudice, Pirates of the Caribbean, Anna Karenina, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and Star Wars: Episode I alongside Nesson. Yes, Knightly has certainly done it all.
But she still has a soft spot for Love Actually, telling Entertainment Weekly, "I don't think any of us expected it to become a phenomenon...But it took on this wonderful following, and now it's almost bigger in America than anywhere else."
She is married to James Righton, and they have two children.
Fun Fact: Her birth name was going to be "Kiera," but her mother made a typo on the birth certificate.
When Golden Globe winner Bill Nighy took on the role of washed-up rocker Billy Mack, no one expected him to have a hit song in Christmas Is All Around. But he did, and post-Love Actually, Nighy has starred in Pirates of the Caribbean, Rango, Emma, Arthur Christmas and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. He also took his acting skills to the stage, starring in Skylight in both London's West End and on Broadway and later appearing in Castlevania.
Fact: He has Dupuytren's Contracture, a condition that causes the ring and little fingers of each hand to be permanently bent inwards towards the palm.
After starring in Love Actually, Chiwetel Ejiofor had some guest-starring roles in box office hits like Inside Man and Children of Men, as well as some indie films like Dirty Pretty Things and Kinky Boots. Then, in 2013, he starred in 12 Years a Slave, earning him an Academy Award nomination. In 2016, he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange as Mordo. Some of his other notable tiles include The Martian, the live action Lion King and Sherlock Gnomes.
Fun fact: He was awarded the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honors List and the Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2015 Queen's Birthday Honors List for his services to drama.

Love Actually is a 2003 British Christmas-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. It stars Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Martine McCutcheon, Bill Nighy, and Rowan Atkinson.
The film was released in the United States on November 14, 2003 and in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2003 by Universal Pictures.
Plot[]
The film begins with a montage of people coming to see their friends and families at the airport. During this a voiceover from David (Hugh Grant) commenting that whenever he gets gloomy about the state of the world he thinks about the arrivals terminal at Heathrow Airport, and the pure uncomplicated love felt as friends and families welcome their arriving loved ones. David's voiceover also relates that all the messages left by the people who died on the 9/11 planes were messages of love and not hate. The film then tells the 'love stories' of many people:
Billy Mack and Joe[]
With the help of his longtime manager Joe (Gregor Fisher), rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a Christmas variation of The Troggs' "Love Is All Around". Although he thinks the record is terrible, Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single, which it does. After briefly celebrating his victory at a party hosted by Sir Elton John, Billy discerns that Joe is in need of affection and suggests that he and Joe celebrate Christmas by getting drunk and watching porn.
Juliet, Peter, and Mark[]
Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter's (Chiwetel Ejiofor) marriage is videotaped by the best man, Mark (Andrew Lincoln). Although both Juliet and Peter believe that Mark dislikes Juliet, he is actually in love with her. When Mark evades Juliet's requests to see the video he made at the wedding, she visits him. She says she wants them to be friends and, when she finds and views the wedding video, it turns out to be just adoring close-ups of her. After an uncomfortable silence, Mark blurts out that he snubs her out of "self-preservation." On Christmas Eve, Juliet answers the doorbell to find Mark carrying a boombox playing Christmas songs and large cue cards, on which he has written, without expectation of reciprocation, that he loves her. As he walks away, Juliet runs after him to give him a quick kiss before she returns inside.
Jamie and Aurélia[]
Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) is pushed by his girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) to attend Juliet and Peter's wedding alone, as she feigns illness. He returns between the ceremony and the reception to check on her, and discovers that she is having an affair with his brother. Crushed, Jamie withdraws to his French cottage, where he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), who does not speak English. Despite their inability to communicate, they become attracted to each other. When Jamie returns to England, he realises he is in love with Aurélia and begins learning Portuguese. He returns to France to find her and ends up walking through town, gathering people as they walk to her job at a restaurant. In broken Portuguese he declares his love for her and proposes. She says yes, in broken English, as the crowd erupts in applause.
Harry, Karen, and Mia[]
Harry (Alan Rickman) is the managing director of a design agency; Mia (Heike Makatsch) is his new secretary. Harry is comfortably married to Karen (Emma Thompson), who stays home to raise their children. He becomes increasingly aroused by Mia's overtly sexual behaviour at the office and does nothing to dissuade her. At the company Christmas party held at Mark's gallery, Harry not only enquires if Mark is Mia's boyfriend, but also dances closely with her. While at the shops, he calls her to find out what she wants for Christmas and ends up almost caught by his wife purchasing an expensive necklace from the jewellery department thanks to the salesman Rufus (Rowan Atkinson). Later on, Karen discovers the necklace in Harry's coat pocket and happily assumes it is a gift for her. When she finds a similarly shaped box under the tree to open on Christmas Eve, she is heartbroken to find it is a Joni Mitchell CD, meaning that the necklace was for someone else. She confronts Harry and asks him what he would do if he were her. She says that he has made a mockery of their marriage and of her.
David and Natalie[]
Karen's brother, David (Hugh Grant), is the recently elected Prime Minister. Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) is a new junior member of the household staff at 10 Downing Street. During a meeting with the U.S. President (Billy Bob Thornton), they run into Natalie and the president makes some inappropriate comments to David about Natalie's body. Later, David walks in on Natalie serving tea and biscuits to the president, and it appears that something untoward is happening. Natalie seems ashamed, but the president has a sly grin on his face. At the following joint press conference, David is uncharacteristically assertive while taking a stand against the president's intimidating policies. Finding that his relationship with Natalie has become strained and a distraction, David has her moved to another job. However, he is spurred to action on Christmas Eve when he finds a Christmas card from Natalie declaring that she is his and no one else's. After a door-to-door search of her street, he comes across Mia, who informs him that Natalie lives next door. The entire family is on their way to a multi-school Christmas play and he offers to drive them so he can talk to her. After Natalie sneaks him in to the school, he runs into his heartbroken sister, who believes he is there for his niece and nephew. As David and Natalie try to keep from being seen and watch the show from backstage, they finally kiss. All their hiding is for nothing, however, as the curtain rises and they are seen kissing by everyone.
Daniel, Sam, Joanna, and Carol[]
Daniel (Liam Neeson), Karen's friend, mourns the recent death of his wife, Joanna, as he tries to raise his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster) alone. Sam has fallen for an American classmate, also named Joanna (Olivia Olson), and, after discussion with his stepfather, decides to learn the drums so that he can accompany her in the big finale for their school's Christmas pageant (the same one that David's niece and nephew/Karen and Harry's children are in). After Sam feels that he missed his chance to make an impression on her, Daniel convinces him that he must go catch Joanna, who is returning to the US, at the airport that night and show her how he feels, lest he regret it. Sam runs away from the airport security and says hi to Joanna, who then kisses him on the cheek. Meanwhile, Daniel meets Carol (Claudia Schiffer), the mother of one of Sam's schoolmates.
Sarah, Karl, and Michael[]
Sarah (Laura Linney) first appears at Juliet and Peter's wedding, sitting next to her friend Jamie. She is an American who works at Harry's graphic design company and has been in love for years with the company's creative director, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). They finally connect at the firm's Christmas party and he drives her home. As they kiss, Michael, her mentally ill brother, phones from a mental care facility. The evening tryst is aborted. Both are working late on Christmas Eve but Karl just wishes her a Merry Christmas. Michael calls Sarah and she joins him, sharing her Christmas scarf.
Colin, Tony, and the American girls[]
After unsuccessfully attempting to woo various English women, including Mia and Nancy (Julia Davis), the caterer at Juliet and Peter's wedding, Colin Frissell (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) that he plans to go to America, convinced that his Britishness will be an asset. Landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Colin meets Stacey (Ivana Miličević), Jeannie (January Jones), and Carol-Anne (Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who fall for his Estuary English and invite him to stay at their home, where they are joined by roommate Harriet (Shannon Elizabeth).
John and Judy[]
John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) are professional stand-ins for films. They meet for the sex scenes in a film for which Tony is a production assistant. John tells Judy that "It is nice to have someone [he] can just chat to." While the two are perfectly comfortable being naked and simulating sex on-set, they are shy and tentative off-set. Carefully pursuing a relationship, they attend the Christmas pageant (involving David and Natalie, Harry and Karen's children, Daniel and Sam, et al.) at the local school with John's brother.
Rufus[]
Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) is the jewellery salesman, whose obsessive attention to gift-wrapping nearly results in Harry being caught buying a necklace for Mia by Karen. Also, it is his distraction of staff at the airport which allows Sam to sneak through to see Joanna. In the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel; however, this was dropped from the final script.
Epilogue[]
One month later, all of the characters are seen in Heathrow Airport. Billy tells Joe that his Christmas single has spurred a comeback. Juliet, Peter, and Mark meet Jamie and his bride, Aurélia. Karen and the kids greet Harry, but Karen's reaction suggests that they are struggling to move past his indiscretion. Sam greets Joanna, who has returned with her mother from America, and Daniel is joined by his new girlfriend Carol and her son. Newlyweds John and Judy, heading off to their honeymoon, run into Tony, who is awaiting Colin as he returns from America. Colin returns with Harriet and her sister Carla (Denise Richards), who greets Tony with a hug and a kiss. Natalie welcomes David back from his flight in view of the press, indicating that their relationship is now public. These scenes dissolve into footage of actual arrivals at Heathrow, as the screen is divided into an increasing number of smaller segments which form the shape of a heart.
Story association[]
All the stories are linked in some way, with the exception of Billy Mack and his manager, who are not acquainted with any of the other characters, but Billy appears frequently on characters' radios and TVs, his music video twice providing an important plot device for Sam's pursuit of Joanna; the pair also cross paths with the other characters in the closing Heathrow scene. John and Judy work with Tony, who is best friends with Colin, who works for a catering company that services the office where Sarah, Karl, Mia, and Harry work. Mia is friends with Mark, who runs the art gallery where the Christmas office party takes place. Mia also lives next door to Natalie. Mark is in love with Juliet and friends with Peter. The couple are friends with Jamie and Sarah. Harry is married to Karen, who is friends with Daniel, and Karen's brother is David, who works with Natalie. Harry and Karen's children (and thus David's niece and nephew), Natalie's siblings (and thus Mia's neighbours), and Carol's son are all schoolmates of Sam and Joanna. An additional plot that was dropped in editing concerned the children's headmistress (Anne Reid) and her dying lesbian partner (Frances de la Tour).

Love Actually Cast: Where Are They Now? - Netflix Tudum
NBC Universal
The ‘Love Actually’ Cast Is Still All Around Us, 20 Years Later
The Christmas rom-com boasts a stacked ensemble filled with more than a few famous faces.
By Dalene Rovenstine
Nov. 15, 2023
“To me, you are perfect.” That’s what many fans say to the rom-com Love Actually each holiday season. First released in November 2003, the film — which is now streaming on Netflix — has since developed a devoted following, with many believing it to be required viewing each year.
One of the best things about the seasonal flick is its robust cast: With interconnected love stories told over two hours, there are a wealth of featured players, many of them notable actors. Whether you can sing every word of “Christmas Is All Around” or you’ve only watched the modern classic once, you’ll definitely recognize many of its stars. Read on to see what the Love Actually cast has been up to in the two decades since the film came out.

Hugh Grant
as David, the Prime Minister
About the Character
David has recently been elected prime minister when he develops feelings for his staffer Natalie. He mistakenly believes she has feelings for the US president when he walks in on an awkward moment, but learns the truth when she leaves him a Christmas card.
Previously In
No stranger to rom-coms, Grant followed up Love Actually by reprising his role as Daniel Cleaver in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and starring alongside Drew Barrymore in Music and Lyrics. He stepped outside the genre for Florence Foster Jenkins and to play the villain in Paddington 2. He most recently starred in HBO’s The Undoing and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, along with a memorable cameo in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Martine McCutcheon
as Natalie
About the Character
As a member of the prime minister’s staff, Natalie often finds herself nervous — and cursing — around her boss. She’s recently been broken up with, but starts developing feelings for David.
Previously In
Following the success of Love Actually, McCutcheon appeared in various British TV shows, including Spooks and Agatha Christie’s Marple. In 2021, she appeared in the UK’s version of The Masked Singer.

Billy Bob Thornton
as The US president
About the Character
The president is visiting England for a meeting with the prime minister. During his stay, he does not do America proud: He makes inappropriate comments about the PM’s staffer Natalie.
Previously In
The same year that Love Actually came out, Thornton starred in Bad Santa. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame the next year. His credits since then have included the films School for Scoundrels and Mr. Woodcock, as well as the TV series Fargo.

Emma Thompson
as Karen
About the Character
David’s sister Karen is a stay-at-home mom to two kids with her husband, Harry. She has arguably the worst holiday in the whole film as she finds out that her husband has feelings for his secretary. She stumbles upon an expensive necklace in his coat pocket — thinking it’s for her — only to discover on Christmas Day that he bought her a CD.
Previously In
Thompson has had no shortage of acting credits since Love Actually in 2003. She’s gone on to star in the Harry Potter film series, Nanny McPhee and its sequel (both of which she also wrote), Men in Black 3, Saving Mr. Banks, the 2017 version of Beauty and the Beast, Cruella, and Matilda the Musical.

NBC Universal
Alan Rickman
as Harry
About the Character
For a married man, Harry pays a little too much attention to his secretary, Mia. She’s extremely flirtatious toward him, which he rewards by purchasing her an expensive Christmas gift, and slow-dances a little too closely with her at their company holiday party.
Previously In
Like Thompson, Rickman starred in the Harry Potter series. Severus Snape would become one of his most memorable roles, but he continued to star in films — including Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Alice in Wonderland — and on stage until his death in 2016.

Heike Makatsch
as Mia
About the Character
Mia isn’t someone the audience can easily root for: She’s over-the-top flirty with her boss, Harry — one time even in front of his wife. We don’t know much else about Mia except that she’s Natalie’s next-door neighbor.
Previously In
Makatsch appeared in the 2013 war drama The Book Thief, as well as a number of German films.

NBC Universal
Keira Knightley
as Juliet
About the Character
Juliet thinks her new husband’s best friend, Mark, doesn’t like her. He’s cold to her and even refuses to show her the video he shot at her and Peter’s wedding. But when she finally sees the footage and realizes Peter isn’t in it, Mark admits he’s distant because he does like her.
Previously In
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Knightley starred as Elizabeth Swann, came out the same year as Love Actually. Knightley portrayed the character in the two sequels as well. She continued to see success in the films King Arthur, Price & Prejudice, Atonement, and The Imitation Game. She has received Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations.

Andrew Lincoln
as Mark
About the Character
After finally admitting he has feelings for his best friend’s new wife, Mark shows up at their apartment pretending to be a holiday caroler. When Juliet answers the door, he plays music on a boombox and, in one of the film’s most famous scenes, declares his love in a series of large cue cards.
Previously In
After this card-wielding character, Lincoln is likely best known for his portrayal of Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead, in which he starred from 2010–2018.

Chiwetel Ejiofor
as Peter
About the Character
Poor Peter thinks he’s happily married to Juliet and is unaware that his best friend, Mark, is confessing his love to her — and that he’s barely in his own wedding video.
Previously In
Ejiofor appeared in various films and stage productions throughout the early 2000s. In 2013, he starred as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave, a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination. His acting credits also include the Doctor Strange films, the 2019 remake of The Lion King, and the TV series The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Colin Firth
as Jamie
About the Character
Peter and Juliet’s wedding also isn’t a happy time for Jamie, who goes without his girlfriend because she’s sick. He comes home early to find her having sex with his brother. Heartbroken, Jamie escapes to a French cottage to work on his next book. There he meets his housekeeper, Aurélia, who speaks only Portuguese, while he speaks only English.
Previously In
Following Love Actually, Firth starred in What a Girl Wants, Girl with a Pearl Earring, and alongside Thompson in Nanny McPhee. He then got into musicals with a lead role in Mamma Mia! and appeared in critically acclaimed films The King’s Speech (which won him an Oscar) and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Like Grant, he reprised his role in the Bridget Jones sequel — and also appeared in the third film in the franchise.

Sienna Guillory
as Jamie’s girlfriend
About the Character
Jamie’s cheating girlfriend doesn’t even get a name in the film. She fakes being sick so she can stay home from their friend’s wedding in order to sleep with her own boyfriend’s brother.
Previously In
The year after Love Actually came out, Guillory starred as Jill Valentine in the sci-fi sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and returned as Jill in two subsequent films. Most recently, Guillory appeared in Meg 2: The Trench.

Lúcia Moniz
as Aurélia
About the Character
Aurélia meets Jamie while working at his French cottage. Although they don’t share a language, they develop feelings for each other.
Previously In
After her role as Aurélia, Moniz has predominantly stuck with Portuguese television and music (she represented Portugal in Eurovision 1996). She released albums in 2005, 2011, and 2015. In 2017, like many of her co-stars, she reprised her Love Actually role for the short-film sequel Red Nose Day Actually for charity.

Liam Neeson
as Daniel
About the Character
A friend of Karen’s, Daniel is mourning the death of his wife while trying to care for his stepson, Sam. When Sam develops feelings for a classmate, Daniel helps him win her over.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster
as Sam
About the Character
Sam falls in love with an American classmate named Joanna. He learns the drums so that he can accompany her at the school’s Christmas pageant.
Previously In
Brodie-Sangster was only 13 when he filmed Love Actually — it was his first major film and he’s gone on to have a successful acting career. Like Thompson and Firth, he also starred in Nanny McPhee. He’s also appeared in Doctor Who, The Maze Runner trilogy, and The Queen’s Gambit.

Olivia Olson
as Joanna
About the Character
Joanna is one of the few Americans in the film; she’s classmates with Sam and performs “All I Want for Christmas” by Mariah Carey at the school’s holiday pageant. She’s accompanied by Sam on the drums, which he learned to play just to get close to her.
Previously In
Olson continued working with Brodie-Sangster through animation: The two voiced characters in Phineas and Ferb from 2008–2015 (Olson voiced Vanessa, who Ferb — voiced by Brodie-Sangster — had a crush on). She went on to voice characters in Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and The Powerpuff Girls. She has also released music over the years and appeared on The X-Factor: Celebrity in 2019.

NBC Universal
Bill Nighy
as Billy Mack
About the Character
Billy Mack was once a rock legend, but he’s attempting to stage a comeback with a Christmas version of the ’60s song “Love Is All Around.” He hates the song, and is perpetually grumpy about it, but he wants to have another No. 1 hit, which is what happens.
Previously In
His Love Actually character may have been staging a comeback, but Nighy never needed one. He’s appeared in countless films, including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and Emma. His 2022 drama Living also earned him an Oscar nomination.

“Love Actually,” the 2003 film that launched a generation of cinematic hot takes, is the story of nine interconnected relationships in the weeks ahead of Christmas in the United Kingdom. They’re united not just in their relationships but also by Heathrow Airport, a third space that bookends the film and is used by lowly tourists and prime ministers alike. It has a plotline for every moment in your relationship, from first crush to the grave, and the story covers all the holiday season staples: the Christmas party, the school pageant, the holiday songs. Plus, the cast is great, and the performances are solid — there’s a lot to like, actually. Yet by the time the credits roll, you may not have learned much about the titular emotion.
To get to the bottom of this intricately structured Christmas classic, we watched the film and ruthlessly coded scenes — how long they were, who was in them, who spoke to whom — and pulled a big pile of box office data to figure out what happened to all of these nice, attractive actors after they wrapped up this movie that makes us all cry. Then we diagramed all of that using network analysis strategies recently applied to “Hamlet” and “Les Misérables” — you know, “Love Actually’s” literary equals — to find the most important character at the core of the film. (It’s not the manic pixie dream Mr. Bean played by Rowan Atkinson.)
The film has launched careers. Thomas Brodie-Sangster — who played Sam, the precocious kid who falls for the girl with the same name as his recently deceased mother — has gone on to appear as a regular character on “Game of Thrones” and as a lead in the ongoing Maze Runner franchise. Still, it’s the actor who played Sammo’s step-father whose post-“Love Actually” movies have made the most money. Liam Neeson’s parenting in the movie was questionable — encouraging a child to sprint through security toward an airplane post-9/11 is never good fatherhood — but Neeson’s later attempts at parenting were even worse, oftentimes resulting in the child being Taken. That awful parenting, though, led to an outstanding and lucrative franchise.
BOX OFFICE NUMBER OF FILMS 1 Liam Neeson $2.8b 38 2 Alan Rickman 2.5 20 3 Bill Nighy 2.2 36 4 Emma Thompson 2.0 26 5 Martin Freeman 1.4 19 6 Thomas Brodie-Sangster 1.2 12 7 Chiwetel Ejiofor 1.2 23 8 Keira Knightley 1.1 22 9 Rodrigo Santoro 0.8 21 10 Colin Firth 0.8 30 11 Billy Bob Thornton 0.6 24 12 Adam Godley 0.5 10 13 Laura Linney 0.4 24 14 Ivana Milicevic 0.3 13 15 Margery Mason 0.3 1 Whose movies after ‘Love Actually’ made the most money?
Source: IMDb
As for quality, the pair of actors in the crappiest relationship ended up making the very best films. Emma Thompson and the late Alan Rickman — each no doubt buoyed by their roles in the good half of the Harry Potter franchise, but icons of British cinema nonetheless — are at the top of the heap, according to the average IMDb rating of films that came after “Love Actually.”
AVERAGE IMDB SCORE OF FILMS NUMBER OF FILMS 1 Alan Rickman 7.0 20 2 Emma Thompson 6.9 26 3 Meg Wynn Owen 6.9 6 4 Martin Freeman 6.8 19 5 Chiwetel Ejiofor 6.8 23 6 January Jones 6.8 9 7 Keira Knightley 6.8 22 8 Thomas Brodie-Sangster 6.7 12 9 Liam Neeson 6.7 38 10 Julia Davis 6.6 6 11 Kris Marshall 6.6 5 12 Laura Linney 6.6 24 13 Bill Nighy 6.5 36 14 John Sharian 6.5 8 15 Rodrigo Santoro 6.5 21 Who made the best movies after ‘Love Actually’?
And it’s those enduring performances and staying power that sell this movie. Even if you are an emotionally dead monster, you have to admire how ably the screenwriters juggled the different plots for Neeson, Thompson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Martin Freeman and the other A- and B-list Brits who pop in and out of the movie. Plot the movie’s social network by how many scenes the pivotal characters shared, and you find that the linchpin of it all — the axis on which the world of “Love Actually” turns — is that schmuck with the cue cards, played by Andrew Lincoln. He’s the dumbwaiter in this “Upstairs, Downstairs” key party.
The network analysis also reveals two Londons in love: one young, one a little less young; one rich, one a little less rich; one white, the other pretty white as well.
This tale of two cities is a mirrored one, with one side’s romantic narratives echoed in the other’s.
In the plot that you probably remember, we watch Knightley’s character learn that her husband’s best man has been stalking pining for her from afar. Will she cheat on her spouse? File a restraining order? Let’s call her milieu London A. Over in London B: Cracks appear in the bourgeois life that Thompson’s character leads when her husband, played by Rickman, finds that his new secretary likes to vamp around whispering things like “it’s all for you, sir.”
Or how about a classic tale of boy-meets-and-ogles-girl-who-works-for-him? In London B, Grant plays the newly elected prime minister (he also happens to be the brother of Thompson’s character). Things start to go off the rails when he falls for the “chubby” maid on staff. If you can’t stomach that plot’s relentless fat jokes, there are fewer (but not none) in the London A version, where Knightley-wedding-attendee Firth takes the meet cute to the French countryside. In the movie’s only slow-motion scene, we watch the camera pan up and down Firth’s Portuguese housekeeper as she strips to her underwear before jumping in a lake.
Not zany enough for you? In London A, the catering staff at Knightley’s wedding includes Kris Marshall, who can only be described as a randy derp (sample dialogue: “Try my lovely nuts?”). On the other side of the Thames in London B, Rowan Atkinson plays Rowan Atkinson, screwballing with Rickman’s character in a department store.
The movie ends with what amounts to a curtain call, summoning all the characters to the arrivals gate at Heathrow. It’s either a shiny bow on the ultimate Christmas comedy or a damning testimony that the movie has nothing to leave us with aside from ginned-up serendipity.
If you’re inclined to believe the latter, let us call your attention to the one major character who’s absent from the airport epilogue. Earlier, we counted how many scenes characters shared — Andrew Lincoln’s silent-but-treacly cue card guy was the linchpin of that “Love, Actually” — but the other way to measure social activity is to count how many different characters each actor has a conversation with. It’s here that Laura Linney, our absentee star, our emotional glue, rises to the top.
CHARACTER ACTOR SCREEN TIME CAST SPOKEN TO PRIMARY PLOT Sarah Laura Linney 20m 32% Office tryst Mark Andrew Lincoln 19 28 Cue cards Karen Emma Thompson 32 24 The Necklace Harry Alan Rickman 28 24 The Necklace Colin Frissell Kris Marshall 11 24 Abroad The PM Hugh Grant 31 20 10 Downing Jamie Colin Firth 24 20 France Aurelia Lúcia Moniz 18 20 France Juliet Keira Knightley 15 20 Cue cards Mia Heike Makatsch 13 20 The Neckalce Peter Chiwetel Ejiofor 10 20 Cue cards Daniel Liam Neeson 26 16 Drummer boy Natalie Martine McCutcheon 25 16 10 Downing Tony Abdul Salis 10 16 Abroad Sam Thomas Brodie-Sangster 24 12 Drummer boy John Martin Freeman 14 12 Stand-ins Judy Joanna Page 14 12 Stand-ins Karl Rodrigo Santoro 13 12 Office tryst Rufus Rowan Atkinson 7 12 — U.S. president Billy Bob Thornton 5 12 10 Downing Billy Mack Bill Nighy 24 8 #1 Song Joanna Olivia Olson 15 8 Drummer boy Joe Gregor Fisher 13 8 #1 Song Jeannie January Jones 4 8 Abroad Sarah’s brother Michael Fitzgerald 1 8 Office tryst Which characters spoke to the most other characters?
While everyone else is running around London, obsessed with their own problems, Linney stands as a rogue beacon of good will toward others. She’s there at Knightley’s wedding, asking the mopey best man if he needs a shoulder to cry on. She’s there at the Christmas party, reassuring Thompson, who is watching her husband fall for another woman. And she’s there for her mentally ill brother, whose incessant phone calls derail a long-awaited night under the mistletoe with Rodrigo Santoro’s abs.
Linney’s character is the one that truly straddles the two Londons. In a movie stuffed with redundant plots and permutations of the same stereotypes, there’s no character quite like her. If you find yourself forced to Grinch through a viewing of “Love Actually” this holiday season, treasure Laura Linney — she’s a bona fide Christmas miracle.

Since 2003, every Christmas is marked by the traditional viewing of Love Actually. This rom-com that we’ve watched about ten times still manages to melt the most frozen hearts. Led by a golden casting and a solid script that needs no introduction, Love Actually is revealed in eight secrets decrypted by Vogue.
The masters of the “made in UK” romantic comedy
If Love Actually is Richard Curtis’ first film as a filmmaker, he isn’t at his first try when it comes to rom-coms. The filmmaker started as a scriptwriter on previous successful projects: Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’ Diary. All of these classics of the romantic comedy have a major asset: Hugh Grant. If the British actor is slowly getting rid of his slick image, notably in the show The Undoing, he was for a long time the imaginary boyfriend of many who fell under the charm of his characters.
Two films in one
Originally, Richard Curtis was working on preparing two different films, centered around the characters of Hugh Grant, the Prime minister, and Colin Firth, the cheated-on husband who flees to write a novel. Through working on the scripts, Richard Curtis saw similarities between the two stories. He finally decided to mix them together and to create the choral film we know today, in homage to his favorite film: Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson.
A five-star casting
Released in 2003, Love Actually instantly became a classic. His script evidently is one of the reasons, but what first attracted the public to the dark rooms is the golden casting put together by Richard Curtis. Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman for the men. Emma Thompson, Laura Linney, Keira Knightley for the women. The total? Almost 250 million dollars at the international box-office.
A tailor-made role
The fans of Love Actually are unanimous: the most memorable duo of the film is David and Natalie’s. Cupid’s arrow hits the Prime minister straight in the heart when he meets one of his 10 Downing Street colleagues. During the writing phase, Richard Curtis had already chosen the actress Martine McCutcheon. He wanted her so much in the role that he had previously named the character Martine. Though the British actress didn’t pursue an international career after the jumpstart offered by Love Actually, her on-screen romance with Hugh Grant remains one of the most memorable.
A real scene
If Love Actually is a portrait of the different faces of love, the filmmaker Richard Curtis wanted to bring as much authenticity as possible to his film. The opening scene is a direct proof. It was shot in Heathrow airport in London in order to capture moving reunions between lovers, children and parents, loved ones and friends without them noticing. If the filmed sequences could appear in the film, the filming crew then asked the permission of the people filmed to use the images.
Keira Knightley and Thomas Brodie Sangster
After having appeared in the very popular Pirates of the Caribbean, Keira Knightley joined the prestigious casting of Love Actually. Even though her role isn’t major, the scene in which Andrew Lincoln declares his love for her on her doorstep is today one of the most romantic in cinema. At the time, the British actress was only 18 and already playing an adult character. But she isn’t the only one to have barely reached eighteen. Liam Neeson’s on-screen son is played by a young actor getting his start in Love Actually: Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Aged only 13, the actor seemed much younger than Keira Knightley when they are only five years apart. For the role, Thomas Brodie-Sangster had to learn to play the drums. Having become the queen of historical romances and the muse of Joe Wright, Keira Knightley is today one of the most prolific actresses of the UK. Thomas Brodie-Sangster, on his side, recently blew up on the screen along Anya Taylor-Joy in The Queen’s Gambit.
A family film
The magic of Christmas, the aura of love… Love Actually is the ideal feel-good film for the holidays. Its heartwarming atmosphere is boosted by a few camos that only a trained eye will notice. In 2015, the author and life partner of Richard Curtis, Emma Freud, revealed a few Love Actually filming secrets on her Twitter account. We learn that the child with the Spiderman makeup and the little girl in a lobster costume who play in the nativity scene are none other than Jake and Scarlett Curtis, the couple’s children. The cleaning lady at 10 Downing Street – the Prime minister’s residence – is Emma Freud’s mother. Richard Curtis even appears in his own film as a harmonica player.
Love Actually 2
In May 2017, the cast of Love Actually reunited for an exceptional short film of more than 16 minutes. Still directed by Richard Curtis, Love Actually 2 was meant for television for the occasion of Red Nose Day, an NGO which helps children in precarious circumstances. Called Red Nose Day Actually, the clip checks back, 14 years later, on what became of the film’s heroes. We find Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Lucia Moniz. That year, the Red Nose Day raised more than 80 million euros to fight famine in Ethiopia.

Her Love Actually angle: Sarah has been desperately in love with her colleague Karl for roughly 'two years, seven months, three days and an hour and thirty minutes'. They get together at the office Christmas party but it all becomes very emotional when she's interrupted from a phone call from her brother.
What's she been doing since?
Winning awards left, right and centre. Linney, who has starred in more than 25 films and 10 TV series since Love Actually, has won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her role as a cancer patient in hit TV series The Big C. She's also been nominated for three Oscars, won Emmys for Wild Iris, Frasier, John Adams (and a Golden Globe and SAG award for this role) and starred in 2019's Netflix hit Ozark.
What's he been doing since?
Winning an Oscar, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG award for The King's Speech, reprising the role of Bridget Jones' love interest Mr Darcy - and starring opposite Hugh Grant again in the process - as well as multiple other film roles like in The Kingsman franchise.
In 2020, he starred in the Oscar-winning film 1917, featured opposite Stanley Tucci in the hugely-anticipated Supernova and was in the remake of children's classic The Secret Garden.
What's he been doing since?
A number of things! Ejiofor had the lead role in Kinky Boots in 2005 and was then nominated for the BAFTA rising star award a year later, losing out to James McAvoy.In 2008, he won a prestigious Olivier award for Best Actor for his performance in Shakespeare's Othello.
Ejiofor then played Solomon Northup in Steve McQueen's Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave in 2013 (for which he won the Best Actor BAFTA and was was Oscar and Golden Globe nominated)and starred in the 2015 film The Martian. He was awarded a CBE in 2015.
In 2019, he was part of an all-star cast including Beyoncé, Donald Glover and Seth Rogen voicing the part of Scar in the Lion King remake. Ejiofor has also joined the cast for the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King's short story, The Life of Chuck, which will also star Karen Gillan.
What's she been doing since?
Generally being the world-dominating actress who is Emma Thompson. Most recently, she's received a Golden Globe nomination for Late Night. Then there were further iconic parts like Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise, Nanny McPhee and Mrs Potts in the Beauty and the Beast remake.
In 2018, Thompson was made a dame. To accept the honour at Buckingham Palace, Thompson wore a Stella McCartney suit, a pair of Stan Smiths and an equal-pay badge. A true icon.
What's he been doing since?
The legendary English actor portrayed villain Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean series and won a Golden Globe for the TV show Gideon's Daughter in 2006. He's also had roles in Pride, About Time, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour.
In 2023, he scored his first Oscar nomination for his work in Living.
Her Love Actually angle:
Juliet marries Peter only to have his best friend Mark fall in love with her. This is her face when she sees Mark's creepy wedding video close-ups ('I look quite pretty actually'). Director Richard Curtis recently revealed Juliet's profession after fans demanded answers: she's an interior designer. While it was never explicitly said on screen, Curtis insists there were clues in the set, such as multiple paint swatches in her apartment.
What's she been doing since?
Well it's global megastar Keira Knightly, so a lot! Knightley, who was 17 when she starred in the film, became a huge A-List phenomenon after roles in Bend it Like Beckham!, Pirates of the Caribbean, Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess, Anna Karenina and more.
Most recently, she starred in Colette, The Official Secrets Act and Misbehaviour and The Imitation Game, for which she received an Oscar nomination. She's also a face of Chanel and received an OBE from the Queen in 2018.
What's he been doing since?
King of Rom Coms Hugh Grant continued to do more of those, like Bridget Jones' Diary, Music and Lyrics, Did You Hear About The Morgans?.
Over the past few years, he's gone in a different direction, with roles in the Paddington franchise, A Very English Scandal (where he recently nominated for an Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe), The Undoing (opposite Nicole Kidman, no less) and last year's hit Netflix film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
What's she been doing since?
Gavin and Stacey, of course! Page rose to fame as Barry Island-native Stacey who falls in love with Essex-born Gavin and together with James Corden, Ruth Jones and Rob Brydon became household names. The sitcom, which ended in 2010, returned for a delightful Christmas special in 2019. Since 2021, she's segued into the world of presenting alongside Dermot O'Leary on ITV's The Pet Show.

In the years before Twitter was euthanized, I’d patiently wait for the onset of the holiday season, and the renewal in my feed of the great “Love Actually” Debate. Every year, the best and brightest of the world — middle management apparatchiks, underemployed magazine writers and hall of fame doomscrollers — would chime in, mostly on the nein side, and make their arguments with eloquence. My favorite was ‘You’re a fucking idiot.’
That one I heard a lot.
“Love Actually” turns 20 this month, and I thought it was time for a thorough revaluation. Was it still a glorious double-steak overstuffed Chipotle burrito of humanity, or would I now see it as they did — a foot-long Subway sandwich with way too many olives bought at a South Dakota gas station?
So I watched the movie again this week. I was struck with an unearned epiphany, the kind that you find in a middlebrow holiday romantic comedy. Turns out, I was going about my defense of the movie in the wrong way. I was trying to argue the merits of the performances of Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman, the beauty of holiday-time London, and so on. I now realize the argument that can bring all of us together: “Love Actually” is amazing — and I’m paraphrasing Voltaire here — because everything about it is fucking nuts.
Think about it: You probably have some movie/record/performance that you love, but all your learned friends thought was rubbish. For me, it’s the Beach Boys’ “Surf Up” album, a sublime late-career effort that also features the tracks “Student Demonstration Time,” as bad as it sounds, and “Don’t Go Near the Water,” the corniest environmental song in all of Christendom. These are the two of the worst Beach Boys’ tracks ever recorded, and these guys are responsible for “Kokomo.”
In other words, embrace the insanity that is “Love Actually,” and we can all watch in peace.
A little context. By 2003, Richard Curtis had written the insanely undervalued “The Tall Guy,” as well as “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill” and “Bridget Jones’ Diary.” He had personally re-invented the British romantic comedy, and provided Hugh Grant with the wealth and status that could make a young star go mad and seek relief on Sunset Boulevard. What he had not done was direct a movie. So, he decided to construct a nine-arc plot lightly centered around Christmas. Let me repeat that, nine plot arcs. The Old Testament was easier to follow.
Am I going to recount all nine arcs in an era of online attention deficit disorder? Oh yeah. Burn the boats.
First, the premise. “Love Actually” follows the romantic lives of a slew of heterosexual white people in cosmopolitan, London where over 40% of the population identifies as non-white. Check that: among the main players is the Brazilian heartthrob Rodrigo Santoro, as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor, who portrays a stick-figure newlywed with no backstory, except he could be cuckolded by his best friend at any moment. The movie checks in at 136 minutes. A 10th arc involving an aging lesbian couple was cut for — wait for it — time. According to Curtis’s script, London is a small town, while not everyone knows each other, they attend the same parties, listen to the same songs, and their children seemingly all go to the same elementary school. In an opening prologue, the British Prime Minister character talks about how he likes to go to the arrivals section at Heathrow and watch all the people re-unite in various degrees of undignified love. (Absolutely no one does this). He then says, “I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.”
Settle in! Here are the players.
(586 spoilers to come. If you have never watched — hate or otherwise — “Love Actually,” may God have mercy on your soul.)
Daniel and Sam
(Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster)
Daniel and Sam have just lost Joanna, Daniel’s wife and Sam’s mum. They mourn at her funeral, where the deceased insisted she be sent off to the tunes of the Bay City Rollers. (Joanna said Daniel could bring Claudia Schiffer as his date). Things are complicated by the fact that Daniel is only Sam’s stepfather. (Sam’s real father’s fate is never mentioned, he could be Tony Blair for all we know). The two negotiate their grief together as Sam is in love with a 10-year-old chanteuse named — heavy sigh — Joanna. Sam learns the drums so he can play in her Christmas band. Their story ends with Sam chasing Joanna through Heathrow, avoiding post 9/11 security that in real life would have had the entire airport evacuated. This is right after Daniel has run into Carol, a Claudia Schiffer doppelganger, at the Christmas concert. He is beyond smitten.
Why this is nuts: This all happens within a month of the beloved Joanna being laid to rest. Her body, while no longer warm, hasn’t even decomposed. Carol is played by real-life Claudia Schiffer so Daniel is infatuated by his dream date reconfigured into someone named Carol. My brain hurts after writing that sentence. Neeson plays the grieving horndog Daniel with a level of solemnity that he apparently exhausted in himself, so he then devoted the rest of his career to stylish revenge porn.
Sam is charmingly played by Thomas who is now a great grown-up person actor. At one point, the film had Sam as an accomplished gymnast who did flips and tumbles past the Heathrow security staff. Fortunately, someone realized this was the worst idea since Colin Frissell. (More later). Unfortunately, Brodie-Sangster did not leave the project unscarred. He is now engaged to Elon Musk’s ex-wife.
And yet: The moment when Sam gets a kiss from Joanna, and then looks at Daniel with eyes full of triumph and love always melts my cold, American heart. The two have a chemistry rarely seen in father/kid movie relationships.
Jamie and Aurelia
(Colin Firth, Lucia Moniz)
Jamie is a drab man who goes to a wedding without his sick wife. He circles backs to check on her and, alas, she is banging his brother. I hate when that happens! Jamie is a mystery writer, it seems, so he escapes to his French cottage where he meets Aurelia, a Portuguese woman who serves as his cleaner. Jamie must be a filth monster because she is there all the time. The two do not share a language but share oh so many longing looks. One day, a breeze blows through his cottage and the pages of his book are — sigh — swept into a nearby lake. He has not made copies. Aurelia disrobes into her underwear to jump into the frigid water and retrieve the pages. The camera lingers on, uh, her tramp stamp.
This is when Jamie knows he is in love! Eventually, Jamie sadly retreats back to England, takes some Portuguese language classes, and on Christmas Eve realizes he doesn’t want to spend the holiday with his family, including his shag-happy homewrecker brother. He flies to France, where he tells Aurelia’s dad that he wants to marry her. Jamie and Aurelia’s extended clan march down to the restaurant where she works, and it turns out she has been taking English classes! She accepts his proposal. There is kissing.
Why this is nuts: The tramp stamp cue! What the hell?! Jamie’s lack of a personality and/or a pulse. Also, Curtis treats Aurelia’s Portuguese family as if they are an undiscovered tribe with no knowledge of civilization. (Aurelia’s sister thinks her father is selling her sister into white slavery.)
And yet: Jamie’s discovery of his wife and his brother’s tryst still haunts me. And I don’t even have a brother.
David and Natalie
(Hugh Grant, Natalie McCutcheon)
David is the bachelor prime minister. Natalie works at 10 Downing Street serving him tea and biscuits. (There is an actual scene where David asks during a meeting who he has to screw to get some tea and a chocolate biscuit, and Natalie wheels them in. Comedy!)
Natalie’s greatest challenge, according to Curtis, is her weight. No, really. Her boyfriend dumped Natalie because she put on some pounds, her dad calls her “plumpy,” and a minister’s aide refers to her “sizable ass.” A quick reminder that this film was made in 2003, not 1903. David is immediately overcome with upstairs/downstairs feelings for Natalie but tries to play it cool. So cool that when Natalie is sexually assaulted by the president of the United States, he takes the only action that a chivalrous man can take: He stands up to the president, and, uh, has Natalie transferred out of his office. Where, we do not know.
Some time later, David comes across a Christmas card from Natalie in a theoretically random pile. She says she loves him. David tracks her down, and they go to the local school Christmas concert where they make out as the world watches. The last we see of them is the prime minister returning to Heathrow and Natalie jumping into his arms. “God, you weigh a lot,” says David. I am not kidding.
Why this is nuts: The whole thing. The #MeToo movement may have been inspired by this film. Then there’s Billy Bob Thornton playing the American president as some kind of Clinton/Nixon mashup. Also? Curtis’ obsession with weight. (Other characters are called “chubs” and “Miss Dunkin Donuts 2003.”)
And yet: Hugh Grant’s goddamn rom-com charisma and inherent ability to make even a dithering dickhead seem charming. Martine McCutcheon’s eyes and Natalie’s ability to rise above said dickhead without appearing a doormat.
Colin Frissell
(Kris Marshall)
Colin is an unattractive man. He is coarse. His jokes are terrible. Also, Colin believes that if he can only get to America, he will get laid because he has a “big knob.” He loads up a backpack full of condoms and lights out for Milwaukee, where he meets three women — including January Jones — who invite him back to their pad where they can only afford one bed. It gets stuffy there, so everyone sleeps naked. A month later, Colin returns to London with Denise Richards and Shannon Elizabeth on his arm. Roll credits.
Why this is nuts: This is the worst subplot that has ever appeared in a movie. Tonally, it is disconnected from the rest of the film, like a week old Lunchable served with a grassfed T-bone steak. Maybe Curtis lost a bet.
And yet: You cannot look away from the carnage.
Harry, Karen and Mia
(Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Heike Makatsch)
Harry is a self-described “classic fool,” but since this is a Richard Curtis film, he has a benevolent job running an Oxfam-like organization that helps citizens of the third world. He has two children and a loving wife. Karen keeps busy looking after the kids and nurturing her friend Daniel through his grief — she tells Daniel that no one will want to shag him if he is sad. (This is before the funeral). Oh yeah, she is also the prime minister’s sister. One day, Karen turns on some Joni Mitchell and Harry asks what the hell she is playing. Karen reminds him that Joni Mitchell taught her how to love.
The fact that Harry does not remember this is not a good sign! In fact, Harry has become infatuated with Mia, his new assistant who sits in an un-lady-like style, wears devil horns to the office Christmas party, lives in a Bond villain rowhouse and lets Harry know she is his for the taking.
Harry and Karen go Christmas shopping. Harry slips away to buy a gold necklace for Mia but is delayed by an excruciating gift-wrapper played by Mr. Bean. (OK, Rowan Atkinson.) Karen sees the gold necklace and is excited because she thinks it is for her. On Christmas Eve, she opens her present. It is not a gold necklace. It is a goddamned Joni Mitchell CD. Fuck this guy.
Karen kicks him out, and Harry’s punishment…is a month-long walkabout? (The family has an uncertain reunion at Heathrow).
Why this is nuts: Karen is the Lois Weisberg of the movie. (Look it up.) Rickman is great as Harry, a dour and stuck middle-ager, but there’s no way Karen takes him back. She’ll instead have her brother the prime minister fix her up with the U.K.’s ambassador to Luxembourg. Also “Truly, Madly, Deeply,” a classic Rickman rom-com is still not available in most formats. That is a crime.
And yet: Karen has the best line in the film, when she confronts her wandering husband with this zinger: “Would you wait around to find out if it’s just a necklace, or if it’s sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it’s a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?”
Hard to imagine this was written by the guy who created Colin Frissell. The world is a mysterious place.
John and Judy
(Martin Freeman, Joanna Page)
John and Judy meet on a film set where they work as stand-ins. As the production proceeds, they get to know each other slowly. Eventually, John works up the courage to ask Judy out to do something Christmassy. She accepts, and they go to the same Christmas school concert everyone else is going to because the rest of the city is apparently on lockdown. In the epilogue, we see them at Heathrow and they are engaged. They look happy.
Why this is nuts: John and Judy work as stand-ins on a porn film. John massages Judy’s breasts from behind while they talk about traffic. He gratefully thanks her for saying yes to his Christmas date while she is sitting on his face. Here’s the thing: That job does not exist. (I’ve made some discreet inquiries.) John is the only sensible man in the movie, no way he is taking her to a random Christmas snoozer featuring 10-year-olds singing holiday mush.
And yet: They make a cute couple.
Sarah and Karl
(Laura Linney, Rodrigo Santoro)
Sit down and draw close to the fire as I relate the sadder-than-sad story of Sarah. She works for Harry at the do-gooder place. Everyone knows she has been in love with Karl, the organization’s model-quality design director. There is a problem. Her cellphone is always ringing with calls from her mentally ill brother who is in a long-term care facility. Sarah and her brother are American orphans — we know not why — so she bears all the responsibility for him.
Sarah and Karl dance at the Christmas party under the watchful eye of Karen — who is perhaps the original Karen. They then head back to her place. When Karl says he wants to stay, Sarah excuses herself and goes into her stairwell where she does a joyous three-second end-zone dance. They undress. Her mobile goes off. Karl patiently waits. Sarah explains the situation. Karl understands and is kind. They get at it again, and the mobile goes off again. This time baby brother wants Sarah to come down to the facility. Sarah says goodbye to Karl. She will spend the rest of her life alone.
Why this is nuts: This is Laura Linney! She does not end up alone. It just can’t be. Come to think about it, why are the women in “Love Actually” constantly getting shafted? Dipshit prime minister, wayward husbands, Colin Frissell, etc… This must not stand.
And yet: Linney’s joyful dance is all-timer. It is one of the greatest organic moments of happiness ever captured on film.
Billy Mack and Joe
(Bill Nighy, Gregor Fisher)
Billy Mack is the diseased soul of “Love Actually.” He is a fiftyish faded rock star with a shock of white hair, trying to make a comeback with a cover of “Love Is All Around Us,” tweaked awfully to “Christmas Is All Around Us.” We check in, and as he describes his song as a “festering turd,” he tells a kid-show audience, “Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don’t buy drugs. The nervous hosts node approvingly, but Billy is not done. “Become a pop star and they give you them for free!”
Joe, his faithful manager, is always wringing his hands in the background, and shepherding Mack to his next promotional appearance. Miraculously, Billy Mack’s single is England’s Christmas No 1. He is instantaneously invited to Elton John’s Christmas party, and leaves Joe slinking off alone. But that’s not how the story ends. A little later, Billy circle backs to Joe’s desultory flat, which is full of Billy Mack memorabilia. After some hemming and hawing he tells Joe that he is the platonic love of his life. And then he mumbles the memorable line: “Now let’s get pissed, and watch some porn.”
Why this is nuts: Nothing, beside the lingering image that the two geezers are going to get wasted and then pleasure themselves. Many consider this among Nighy’s best work, and I agree, but I want to ask him why he twitches so much. He acts like a dog afraid he is about to be hit on the nose with a newspaper. Neurological damage? Drug flashback? We need an Actors on Actors interview. We know Billy is a pig and relic from another time, but I’m not sure that justifies his character saying that Britney Spears was a lousy lay. Britney would have been 21 at the time, at least 30 years younger than Billy. Yuck.
And yet: Nighy’s Mack skewers the idea of 21st Century capitalism Christmas, with all its crassness and vulgarity. He doesn’t think he’s better than Christmas, but he knows much of it is shit. In the end, he knows what is important in life, a best friend and pornography.
Julie, Peter and Mark
(Keira Knightley, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Andrew Lincoln)
Good God, this one hasn’t aged well. We first meet this threesome at Juliet and Mark’s wedding. Peter is the best man and assures Mark there won’t be any pranks like the time he hired Brazilian prostitutes who turned out to be men (clunk) for the stag party. Juliet enters the church looking like some kind of Aryan virgin princess. The ceremony goes off without a hitch, but during the recessional the choir loft opens, and the couple is serenaded with the Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love,” complete with horns and a guitar solo. That Peter, what a scamp!
Later, Juliet stops by Peter’s place, looking for extra wedding footage. Peter doesn’t want to turn it over, and then we find out why: It’s full of close-ups of Juliet, with Mark zoomed out. Juliet is baffled; she didn’t even think Peter liked her. He mumbles something about self-preservation and skedaddles out of his own pad.
Poor Mark, he knows nothing! Closer to Christmas, someone rings the bell at Mark and Juliet’s. Mark thinks its carol singers and tells them to bugger off. If only! There are no carol singers, It’s Peter, and he has a boom box playing Christmas carols and — in the film’s signature scene — is holding giant white poster boards like Bob Dylan in that famous video. The cards hold a lot of gibberish expressing his love and saying bananas stuff like “At Christmas You Tell The Truth.” Peter says he doesn’t expect anything in return. After a moment, Juliet chases after him, and gives him a single kiss on the lips.
Why this is nuts: Because the next scene isn’t Mark coming after Peter with a hammer. The whole shebang is bananas. Dude has not ever had a five- minute conversation with Juliet and he’s showing up with cue cards? And at Christmas you do not tell the truth. If you did, you wouldn’t be spending it with your family.
And yet: Well, there’s some pretty thin gruel on this one. The three don’t end up at the Christmas concert? OK, I’ve got something: The whole subplot allows Sarah to sidle up to Peter at the wedding reception and ask the reasonable question: Is he gay for Mark? Peter’s squirrely semi-offensive reaction removes any need for sympathizing with him for the rest of our time together. Years later, Mark awakes from a coma in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and well, his life didn’t turn out so great. (OK, that was Andrew Lincoln, the actor, but let’s pretend.)
Upon further reflection, I now realize that “Love Actually” makes little sense and some of the characters could be brought up on charges for their actions. But that’s why it’s good. It is nuts, but real life is nuts. It is messy and full of freaks like Mark and Colin Frissell. There will always be good people like Sarah and Joe that give way more than they get. And yet we make our way through the Christmas parties and traffic at the Grove to make it home to the people we love, no matter how nuts they may be or own psychological damage. We save each other.
Jesus, I’m going to say it: love is all around us.

Studiocanal and Universal Pictures are re-releasing Richard Curtis’ holiday classic “Love Actually” worldwide this year in a new 4K restoration.
The Working Title film, whose all-star cast includes Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Bill Nighy and Liam Neeson, will also be released on home video and digitally in the U.S. and France.
First released during the 2003 holiday season, “Love Actually” went on to become a major worldwide hit and, in the 20 years since its release, a beloved modern Christmas classic.
The romantic comedy, which intertwines the stories of eight couples during a frantic month before Christmas in London, also features Laura Linney, Martin Freeman, Andrew Lincoln, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rodrigo Santoro, Rowan Atkinson, Billy Bob Thornton and the late Alan Rickman.
Studiocanal has restored “Love Actually” in 4K from the 35mm original negative, accessed via Universal Pictures and scanned at Illuminate in Los Angeles. The 4K scans were digitally restored by Silver Salt Restoration in London. The film was color-graded at Goldcrest London by colorist Adam Glassman and supervised by Curtis, who worked together to create the first HDR version of the film in Dolby Vision.
Beginning in select global markets this November, the home entertainment re-release will include a new 30-minute featurette, filmed in London, of the cast and filmmakers discussing the film, and reminiscing about their experiences during its production.
In addition, the theatrical re-release in the U.S. and Canada will include a new 10-minute introduction highlighting the film’s most iconic moments.
“I’m really excited about this new version of the film; it’s never looked or sounded better,” Curtis said. “And, although I’m slightly shocked by how old I’ve got, I loved the featurette, which is full of new thoughts and memories about the film from all the people who made it.”
Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, co-chairmen of Working Title, said in statement: “As Working Title approaches its 40th anniversary year, it’s exciting for us to acknowledge our wonderful long-term relationship with the creative genius Richard Curtis. We are so proud of all the films we have made with him and adore how they still resonate with audiences worldwide. ‘Love Actually’ is a huge milestone in our history and reminds us of how very grateful we are of our continued relationship with Richard. We hope this new remastered version of the film will continue to bring many people together in joy and love this holiday season.”
“Love Actually” hits theaters in the U.K., Germany and the Netherlands in late November, with further theatrical releases in December in the U.S., Canada, France, Austria, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and South Korea. It’s also heading soon to screens in China.
The new 4K restoration will be released on home video in the U.S. on Nov. 21 and in France on Dec. 6.

On Christmas Day Love Actually will be back on our TV screens.
Being shown on ITV at 10.40pm, the movie follows a number of different characters over the festive period as they deal with their own personal lives around Christmas.
One such actor who features in the movie is Hampshire's Colin Firth.

The 61-year-old film star was born in the village of Grayshott, to parents who were both academics and lecturers at the former King Alfred’s College - now the University of Winchester.
He first found fame portraying Mr Darcy in the 1995 TV adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice however has starred in a number of movies since including Mamma Mia! and the Bridget Jones movies.
In Love Actually, Firth plays writer Jamie.
After being pushed by his girlfriend to attend a wedding alone, he returns before the reception to only find her having sex with his brother.
Left feeling devastated he heads out to a French cottage where he falls in love with a Portuguese housekeeper Aurelia.
The pair end up falling in love and he proposes to her near the end of the movie.
But you may not know that the actor who plays Aurelia was actually famous back in her home country of Portugal prior to Love Actually and represented her country in the biggest global singing contest in the world.
Lúcia Moniz was born in Lisbon in 1976.
The 45-year-old incredibly represented Portugal at Eurovision in 1996 as a 19-year-old after winning the national competition held each year to crown the country's Eurovision entry.
Impressively she finished in sixth place at the show despite her young age.
Although the star hasn't featured in any movies the size of Love Actually since, she has featured regularly in a string of Portuguese television shows and has also released five albums.
Moniz also reprised her role as Aurelia in the Red Nose Day Actually sketch in 2017.

This year marks the 19th anniversary of Love, Actually, and to celebrate, ET is turning back the clock!
The star-studded holiday rom-com features a ton of A-listers, including Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman and many more -- though many of the film's stars admit they weren't expecting it to become the sensation it still is, all these years later.
"It's quite kind of out there, isn't it?" Thompson said of her initial thoughts on the film as she sat down with Diane Sawyer for a new anniversary special. "And then Hugh came up behind me as we were walking out and said, 'Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the most psychotic thing we've ever been in?' I just thought, 'What is he talking about?'"
As for Grant, he admitted that he was dreading his infamous dance scene from the moment he first read the script, however, he made the most of it.
"I will give myself this credit, it was my idea to have that secretary lady catch me...genius," he shared. "And to this day, there's many people, and I agree with them, who think it's the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid, but then some people like it."

Trying to find a movie that has united all the major fandoms in existence? Look no further than 2003's 'Love Actually.'

|
Before 2016’s Me Before You united most of the major pop culture fandoms, there was the delightfully British Christmas romcom Love Actually, which had a perfect ensemble cast and — dare I say it — some cross-fandom pairings that are the stuff of steamy fan fiction. Spanning Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bridget Jones, Narnia, and Doctor Who, below is the great big fanfiction-ish cast of 2003's LoveActually.
Emma Thompson
Love Actually is basically an alternate muggle world where the most unlikely of Potter characters actually ended up together — like Sybill Trelawney and Snape. Aside from Love Actually and Harry Potter, Emma Thompson also recently starred in this year's Bridget Jones's Baby along with several other Love Actually alum, and starred alongside Harry Potter's Emma Watson once more in 2017's Beauty and the Beast.
Alan Rickman
The late, great Alan Rickman played a lot of great villainous characters in his lifetime. Most unforgettable of them was Professor Snape; in this movie, he ironically played a character whose name was Harry, but was just as bad as Snape for cheating on Trelawney — I mean, on his wife, Karen.
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson's character, Daniel, is Karen's best friend in this movie. He's also a loving stepfather to Sam. He makes so many phone calls in this movie that when you pause it, you could crack a joke about Taken. But we shouldn't forget that this guy was also Aslan, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Ra’s al Ghul.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Since Love Actually, Sangster has also appeared in HBO's Game of Thrones as Jojen Reed and in an episode of Dr. Who. Let's not forget, he's also Newt in The Maze Runner!
Fun Fact: He was also in the same episode of Dr. Who as Bill Nighy (Billy Mack), and that very episode was written by Richard Curtis — also the writer-director of Love Actually.
Another fun fact: By the end of the movie, he got a kiss from his ultimate crush, Joanna (Olivia Olson). They're the same actors who voiced Vanessa and Ferb from the hit Disney animated series, Phineas and Ferb!
Colin Firth
In Love Actually, he plays Jamie Bennett, who actually had the same luck in love as Mark Darcy in the first Bridget Jones movie. Aside from that, he's also co-stars with his Bridget Jones rival Hugh Grant! We know that Colin Firth has appeared in countless romantic movies throughout the decade. However, we can all agree that Kingsman was one of his best roles to date and he reprised this role in Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy is one of the actors in Love Actually that united a lot of fandoms. I mean, he's also Rufus Scrimegour and Davy Jones! And if you see Love Actually as an alternate muggle world, then you can't unsee the Minister for Magic in his loose behavior as an ageing rocker!
Keira Knightley
Knightley was a blushing bride in the film who married Rick Grimes's — I mean Andrew Lincoln's — best friend in the movie. Later on, she truly gained widespread recognition when she was cast as Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise!
Andrew Lincoln
Love Actually really unites all the fandoms and we look no further than Andrew Lincoln — he added zombies and horror into the mix! Obviously, Love Actually is set in a pre-zombie world, and one of the survivors was Mark. Remember, his reasoning for being such a reserved person is because he's always thinking of self-preservation.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Chiwetel Ejiofor starred as Elizabeth Swann's groom in this movie, but that didn't stop us from shipping Mark (Grimes) and Juliet (Knightley). He wasn't a very interesting character in Love Actually, but his role as the Operative in Joss Whedon's space western film Serenity has more depth. He's a nameless agent with blood on his hands, but he redeemed himself in the end because, in reality, he was just doing his job. Ejiofor was also in 12 Years A Slave, but his other popular nerdy project is Baron Mordo in Doctor Strange.
January Jones
Re-watching Love Actually and realizing that the American Colin found was in fact January Jones, was shocking. Her role is minor in Love Actually, but it's worth noting that if you didn't realize it was her before, you'd do now that you've seen her in acclaimed projects such as X-Men: First Class and Mad Men.
Martin Freeman
We first encounter Martin Freeman in a very compromising position in Love Actually, because he was a stand-in. Even though he was the one without a very eventful story, he did get his happily ever-after with his co-worker, and the situation of their meeting is definitely an interesting story. In the years that came after Love Actually, we got to know him as Dr. Watson in Sherlock and of course, Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit.
Rodrigo Santoro
Karl, Laura Linney's co-worker that she's been in love with for two years, is a chameleon. He's had several cameos in movies we know, yet we didn't realize it's him. His most memorable and unrecognizable role to date is his portrayal of Xerxes in 300 and its follow-up film. And did you know that he's also the ruthless and Most Wanted bandit Hector Escaton in HBO's Westworld?

Since bursting into theaters in 2003, "Love Actually" has become a Christmas movie staple. The festive season is not complete without seeing those opening hugs at Heathrow airport, hearing Hugh Grant utter the line, "Love actually is all around," and, of course, getting cozy with the stellar "Love Actually" cast and their intertwining storylines.
The Richard Curtis movie, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, brought with it a collection of A-list stars that needed no introduction. Theater, film, and TV icons like Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, and Grant were cast in lead roles, while the film also helped to catapult the careers of Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson, whose sweet childhood romance pulled on the hearts of many.
While the movie has arguably aged badly and is not without its troubles (Natalie getting dumped for being "fat," Mark's creepy wedding video, and many of the women characters being passive), it continues to be viewed with fondness for many Christmas lovers. So in the two decades since it first premiered, where's the cast of "Love Actually" now?
Keep scrolling to find out how the last two decades have been for the beloved Christmas characters.
01
Bill Nighy
In "Love Actually," Nighy played the aging rock and roll star Billy Mack who decided to make a Christmas song to cash in on the season. He won a BAFTA for the role and has continued his established acting career since.
The 73-year-old starred as Davy Jones in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as radio ross boss Quention in "The Boat That Rocked," and as Cliff LGBTQ+ film "Prime." Most recently, the dad of one was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of terminally ill Mr Rodney Williams in "Living" opposite Aimee Lou Wood. Speculation has grown of late over his relationship with US Vogue Editor, Anna Wintour.
03
Alan Rickman
Playing Thompson's husband, Harry, in "Love Actually" Rickman was arguably considered the villain of the movie after his head was turned by his secretary, Mia.
The actor continued to play the role of Severus Snape in all of the Harry Potter movies, as well as directing and starring in the 2014 film "A Little Chaos." Rickman passed away in January 2016 from pancreatic cancer.
04
Heike Makatsch
German actor Makatsch played meddling Mia, Harry's secretary, in "Love Actually," who used her sexuality to turn her boss's head away from his wife.
She played the role of Lisa Addison in "Resident Evil" prior to the Christmas rom-com and was in a relationship with Daniel Craig for seven years. Now, the 52-year-old is a mom of three and resides in Berlin.
05
Rowan Atkinson
While not a lead character in the Christmas film, Atkinson certainly made an impression as the perfectionist Selfridges shop assistant, helping Harry buy a necklace for his mistress.
Already a household name thanks to TV series "Mr. Bean" and "Blackadder," Atkinson's comedic style continued following "Love Actually" with TV and films including the Johnny English film series. He is also set to star in the 2023 prequel, "Wonka," alongside Grant. The 68-year-old began an affair with comedian Louise Ford in 2018, who was 26 years his junior. He separated from his wife and Ford ended her relationship with comedian James Acaster so they could be together. They went on to have a child together, Atkinson's third.
06
Hugh Grant
When it comes to memorable "Love Actually" scenes, Grant playing the Prime Minister and dancing to Girls Aloud has to be up there, before his character falls in love with Natalie.
From playing Firth's love-rival in the Bridget Jones franchise to Phoenix Buchanan in "Paddington 2," Grant's movie roles have cemented him as a British icon. The dad of four is set to star as an Oompa Loompa in the upcoming remake of "Wonka," premiering in December, and we can't wait.
08
Keira Knightley
Knightley played newlywed Juliet in "Love Actually" who turns out to be the object of Mark's affection and the best man at her wedding.
Knightley, 38, went on to star in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, "Pride & Prejudice," and "Atonement." She took some time away from acting, telling the Always Chatter podcast that she had a mental breakdown at 22. The mom of two starred as Loretta McLaughlin in the "Boston Strangler" this year.
09
Andrew Lincoln
Lincoln came to prominence playing Mark, the best friend of Peter. He was the best man at Peter and Juliet's wedding only for him to reveal on Christmas Eve, through the now-famous placards scene, that his dislike of Juliet had in fact been masking his love for her.
Dad-of-two Lincoln, 50, grew global notoriety after being cast as Rick Grimes in "The Walking Dead" in 2010; a character he played until 2018. A film trilogy has reportedly been in the works but was put on hold due to the pandemic.
10
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Ejiofor played Peter, who married Juliet in "Love Actually." Unbeknown to him, his best friend, Mark, who he thinks hates his wife, actually has feelings for her.
Stage and screen actor, Ejiofor, 46, received an OBE in 2008 for services to the arts and he took on the role of Solomon Northup in "12 Years a Slave" in 2014, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. He made his directorial debut in 2019 with "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" and returned to play Mordo for the Doctor Strange sequel in 2022.
11
Liam Neeson
Neeson's "Love Actually" character, Daniel, was grieving for his recently deceased wife but put his efforts into helping his son, Sam, find true love.
Tragically, life imitated art when in 2009 his wife, Natasha Richardson, died after suffering a head injury after a skiing accident. Neeson, 71, starred in action films "Taken" and as Ra's Al Ghul in "Batman Begins." His acting has been routed in the action genre, most recently starring in "Retribution" in 2023.
12
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Brodie-Sangster was just 12 years old when he played Sam in "Love Actually." He declares his affection for classmate Joanna to his dad and his mission is to tell her his feelings.
Now 33, Brodie-Sangster has gone on to have a successful career in a number of cult TV shows. He played Jojen Reed in "Game of Thrones" and Benny Watts in "The Queen's Gambit," opposite Anya Taylor-Joy. He got engaged in July to fellow British actor, Talulah Riley.
13
Olivia Olson
Olson blew everyone away when she played a young Joanna who belted out Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" at the age of 10 at the crescendo of "Love Actually."
Olson went on to voice the recurring character of Vanessa in the Disney animated series "Phineas and Ferb" alongside her "Love Actually" costar Brodie-Sangster. She has also recorded a number of albums and competed on "The X Factor: Celebrity" in 2019.
14
Martin Freeman
Award-winning actor Freeman had perhaps one of the funniest roles in "Love Actually." Playing John, a stand-in for films, he meets Judy while they are simulating sex scenes, yet are both inherently shy. They end up falling for each other and get engaged.
Since then, Freeman's career has been nothing but varied. The 52-year-old played Dr. John Watson in BBC's "Sherlock," for which he won a BAFTA and an Emmy, Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit movie franchise, and Everett K. Ross in "Black Panther." The dad of two was previously married to fellow actor Amanda Abbington but the two separated in 2016.
15
Joanna Page
Welsh actor Page, 46, played Judy, the fellow stand-in for the sex scenes who ended up falling for John.
Since the release of the film, Page became best known for playing Stacey in the TV sitcom "Gavin & Stacey" alongside James Cordon and Ruth Jones. She has also become a mom of four, married fellow actor James Thornton, and joined "Loose Women" as a panelist in 2023.
16
Colin Firth
Rom-com favorite Firth, 63, played Jamie in "Love Actually" who, after finding his wife cheating on him with his brother, retreats to his French cottage and falls in love with the Portuguese housekeeper, Aurélia, who does not speak English.
Fresh from his role as Mark Darcy in "Bridget Jones," he reprised the character for the two follow-up movies after "Love Actually." He went on to star in iconic films "Mamma Mia" and "Mamma Mia Here We Go Again" as Harry Bright, and gained critical acclaim for his acting in "A Single Man" and "The King's Speech," the latter of which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2010. The dad of three recently starred in "The Staircase," a true-crime miniseries, alongside Toni Collette and Sophie Turner.
17
Lucia Moniz
Portuguese actor and singer Moniz played Aurélia, a housekeeper tending to Jamie's French abode who does not speak English. He falls in love with her, learns Portuguese, and proposes in front of her family.
Moniz, 47, has since released a number of albums and won the Best Performance award at the Raindance Film Festival for her role as the struggling mother of a deaf child in the 2020 film "Listen."
18
Kris Marshall
Marshall, 50, played Colin, the "god of sex," who travels across the pond in a bid to attract women with his British accent.
His breakout role prior to "Love Actually" had been in the BBC sitcom "My Family" where he played Nick Harper, a role he reprised a number of times in the years following the movie's release in 2003. The dad of two took on the role of DI Humphrey Goodman in BBC drama "Death in Paradise" from 2013-2017, and reunited with the character in 2023 for the spinoff, "Beyond Paradise."
19
January Jones
While not a main character in "Love Actually," Jones played Jeannie, one of the American party girls who meets Colin as he arrives in the USA.
The 45-year-old later became best known for playing Betty Draper Francis for seven seasons of "Mad Men," for which she received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. The mom of one has also played Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class" and Lizbeth Sloan in Netflix's "The Politician."
20
Laura Linney
Linney played Sarah in "Love Actually," an American working in London who is in love with the creative director at her work, Karl. When they connect at the Christmas party, she is interrupted by her mentally ill brother.
Linney, 59, starred in the 2004 film, "Kinsey," 2005's "The Squid and the Whale," and 2007's "The Savages," for which she received her third Academy Award nomination. From 2017 to 2022, she starred in "Ozark" alongside Jason Bateman. Linney married in 2009 and fellow "Love Actually" star, Neeson, walked her down the aisle. She gave birth to a son in 2014.

Love Actually is synonymous with Christmas time. Many of us just have to watch the 2003 classic festive film every year or it doesn't feel the same.
The movie was written and directed by Richard Curtis, and received mixed reviews from critics, but despite this it has become a modern day must-watch at Christmas.
Recently, Diane Sawyer hosted an ABC special called The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later, where she caught up with some of the stars of the film.
The movie starred incredibly successful actors and actresses who are still active today – from Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley to Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Bill Nighty.
But what happened to the other actors who starred in the romantic comedy? Here we take a closer look at what has happened since it premiered in 2003.
Harry - Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman, perhaps most known for going on to star as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, played Emma Thompson's husband in the film.
'Bad Harry' found himself in the doghouse after falling for the charms of Mia and breaking his wife's heart in the process.
But in real life, actor Alan was far from a lothario, staying married to childhood sweetheart Rima Horton until his death in 2016.
Sadly, Alan suffered a minor stroke in August 2015, before doctors discovered he was suffering from pancreatic cancer.
He passed away aged 69 in January 2016.
Sam - Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Now aged 32, Thomas Brodie-Sangster went on to have incredible success as an actor after playing young Sam in Love Actually.
He starred in Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and landed the coveted role of Jojen Reed in Game of Thrones.
He is currently dating Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley who he stars in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols biopic Pistol with.
Thomas later confirmed they hadn't started dating until filming wrapped.
Daniel - Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson played Sam's grieving step-father who is navigating life after his wife died.
Six years later Liam's own life was hit by tragedy when his wife Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident.
She had been taking a beginners ski lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort near Montreal when she fell and hit her head.
After initially laughing off the incident, she was rushed to hospital in New York after complaining of agonising headaches.
"I was told she was brain dead... She was on life support and stuff," Liam told 60 Minutes in 2014.
"And I went in... and told her I loved her. I said, 'Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You've banged your head. It's – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that's – this is what's gone down.'"
She died from an epidural hematoma two days later.
Liam, now 70, went on to be an action star in many thrillers – including Taken, The A-Team, Wrath of the Titans Non-Stop and The Commuter.
In 2019, Liam sparked a race row after opening up about an "inappropriate comment" he made in an interview with the Independent.
While being interviewed for his film Cold Pursuit - he admitted to his violent racist impulse after a relative was raped.
Liam admitted his shame over walking the streets with a cosh hoping he could find "some black b*****d" to kill.
Liam admitted that it was "horrible, horrible" for him to tarnish all men of colour with the same brush and that he was so ready to hurt an innocent person.
Mark - Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln played the part of Mark, who was hopelessly in love with his best friend's wife Juliet, played by Keira Knightley.
He went on to become a huge Hollywood star thanks to his role as Rick Grimes in blockbuster zombie apocalypse series, The Walking Dead.
In 2019 he filmed his first non-The Walking Dead role since 2010 in the drama Penguin Bloom.
Now aged 49, he is also set to appear as Rick in a spinoff of The Walking Dead which is set to be released in 2023.
Mia - Heike Makatsch
Heike Makatsch played Mia, the office femme fatale who seduced her married boss Harry, and convinced him to buy her a sexy Christmas present which wife Karen then found.
The German actress went on to make a name for herself as Lisa Addison in 2002's Resident Evil and Liesel's mother in The Book Thief in 2013.
In 2020 Heike starred as a journalist and single mother in a crime drama called Zero, directed by Jochen Alexander Freydank.
Joanna - Olivia Olson
American actress Olivia Olson impressed viewers with her incredible rendition of All I Want For Christmas.
After Love Actually, the Californian native starred in Disney's long-running TV show Phineas And Ferb from 2007 to 2015.
She also voiced Bliss in the reboot of The Powerpuff Girls, and has narrated characters in a number of video games such as the Adventure Time franchises' games and Lego Dimensions.
Now aged 30, she recently took part in X-factor Celebrity, but was left in tears when she was voted off in the first live show.
Karl - Rodrigo Santoro
Hunky Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro played the shy office worker who Laura Linney's character Sarah fell in love with.
Since then, Rodrigo has had steady work, with stand-out roles in 300 and Focus.
He also appeared on the TV show Lost as Paulo, and HBO's Westworld as Hector.
Now aged 47, he is still acting and is due to star in American supernatural teen drama series Wolf Pack in 2023.
Judy - Joanna Page
Joanna Page plays stunt double Judy who falls in love with Martin Freeman's character John.
The Welsh actress went on to star as one of the titular characters in James Corden's Gavin and Stacey.
Joanna has continued to act, recently starring as Bethan Stubbins in the 2020 movie Doolittle alongside Robert Downey Jr.
Now aged 45, she also co-presents BBC One consumer series Shop Well for less alongside Melanie Sykes.
Aurelia - Lucia Moniz
Lucia Moniz made a name for herself as Colin Firth's character Jamie's Portuguese cleaner.
Before starting in the film she was actually a singer, famously representing her country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996.
With five albums under her belt to date, she returned to the music industry after filming.
Now aged 46, she has also continued to star in TV shows, most recently as Isabel Da Paz in the Portuguese telenovela Na Corda Bamba.

Colin Andrew Firth CBE (born 10 September 1960) is an English actor who has received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, two BAFTA Awards, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. In 2010, Firth's portrayal of King George VI in Tom Hooper's The King's Speech won him the Academy Award for Best Actor.
He was identified in the mid 1980s with the "Brit Pack" of rising, young British actors, assaying a varied and challenging series of roles, including leading roles in Apartment Zero, Valmont and Tumbledown. However, it was not until his portrayal of Mr Darcy in the 1995 television adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that he received more widespread attention. This led to roles in more prominent films, such as The English Patient, Bridget Jones's Diary, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA Award, Shakespeare in Love, Conspiracy with Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci, The Importance of Being Earnest, again with Judi Dench and Richard Curtis's Love Actually.
In 2009, Firth received international critical acclaim for his performance in A Single Man, for which he gained the BAFTA Award and earned his first Academy Award nomination. He subsequently appeared in the acclaimed film of John le Carré's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (film)". Firth also played secret agent Harry Hart in the 2014 film Kingsman: The Secret Service and the 2017 sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
In 2018, he co-starred in the musical fantasy Mary Poppins Returns and the following year he appeared in the war film 1917. Firth's films have grossed more than $3 billion from 42 releases worldwide. In 2011, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was also selected as one of the Time 100.
Firth has campaigned for the rights of indigenous tribal people and is a member of Survival International. He has campaigned on issues of asylum seekers, refugees' rights, and the environment. He commissioned and co-authored a scientific paper on a study into the differences in brain structure between people of differing political orientations.
Early Life[]
Firth was born in the village of Grayshott, Hampshire, to parents who were both academics and teachers. His mother, Shirley Jean (née Rolles), was a comparative religion lecturer at King Alfred's College (now the University of Winchester), and his father, David Norman Lewis Firth, was a history lecturer at King Alfred's and education officer for the Nigerian Government. Firth is the eldest of three children; he has a sister, Kate, an actress and voice coach, and a brother, Jonathan, an actor. His maternal grandparents were Congregationalist ministers and his paternal grandfather was an Anglican priest; they performed overseas missionary work, and both of his parents spent part of their childhoods in India.
As a child, Firth frequently travelled due to his parents' work, spending some years in Nigeria. He also lived in St. Louis, Missouri, when he was 11, which he has described as "a difficult time". On returning to England, he attended the Montgomery of Alamein Secondary School (now Kings' School), which at the time was a state comprehensive school in Winchester, Hampshire. He was still an outsider and was the target of bullying. To counter this, he adopted the local working class Hampshire accent and copied his schoolmates' lack of interest in schoolwork.
By the time he was 14, Firth had already decided to be a professional actor, having attended drama workshops from the age of 10. Until further education, he was not academically inclined, later saying in an interview, "I didn't like school. I just thought it was boring and mediocre and nothing they taught me seemed to be of any interest at all." However, at Barton Peveril Sixth Form College in Eastleigh, he was imbued with a love of English literature by an enthusiastic teacher, Pierce Brosnan, and has said that his two years at Barton Peveril were "among the two fuckin' best years of my life".
After his sixth form years, Firth moved to London and joined the National Youth Theatre. There, he made many contacts in the acting world, from which he got a job in the wardrobe department at the National Theatre. From there, he went on to study at Drama Centre London.
Career[]
1983–1994: "Brit Pack" boy[]
Playing Hamlet in the Drama Centre end of year production, Firth was spotted by playwright Julian Mitchell, who cast him as the gay, ambitious public schoolboy Guy Bennett in the 1983 West End production of Another Country. In 1984, Firth made his film debut in the role of Tommy Judd, Guy Bennett's straight, Marxist school friend in the screen adaptation of the play (opposite Rupert Everett as Guy Bennett). This was the start of a longstanding public feud between Firth and Everett, which was later resolved. He starred with Sir Laurence Olivier in Lost Empires (1986), a TV adaptation of J. B. Priestley's novel.
In 1987, Firth along with other up and coming British actors such as Tim Roth, Bruce Payne and Paul McGann were dubbed the 'Brit Pack'. That same year, he appeared alongside Kenneth Branagh in the film version of J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country. Sheila Johnston observed a theme in his early works of playing those traumatised by war. Firth portrayed real-life British soldier Robert Lawrence MC in the 1988 BBC dramatisation Tumbledown. Lawrence was severely injured at the Battle of Mount Tumbledown during the Falklands War, and the film details his struggles to adjust to his disability whilst confronted with indifference from the government and the public. The film attracted controversy at the time, with criticism coming from left and right ends of the political spectrum. Firth's performance led to a Royal TV Society Best Actor Award and he was nominated for the 1989 BAFTA Television Award. In 1989, he played the title role in Miloš Forman's Valmont, based on Les Liaisons dangereuses. This was released just a year after Dangerous Liaisons and did not make a big impact in comparison. The same year, he played a paranoid, socially awkward character in Argentinian psychological thriller Apartment Zero.
1995–2002: English romantic (Pride and Prejudice)[]
Firth finally became a household name through his role as the aloof and haughty aristocrat Mr. Darcy in the 1995 BBC television adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. He was producer Sue Birtwistle's first choice for the part, eventually being persuaded to take it despite initial reluctance as he was unfamiliar with Austen's writing. Firth and co-star Jennifer Ehle began a romantic relationship during the filming of the series, which only received media attention after the couple's separation. Sheila Johnston wrote that Firth's approach to the part "lent Darcy complex shades of coldness, even caddishness, in the early episodes." The series was an international success and unexpectedly elevated Firth to stardom, in some part due to a scene that is not from the novel, in which he emerges from a swim in a lake in a wet shirt. Although Firth did not mind being recognised as "a romantic idol as a Darcy with smouldering sex appeal" in a role that "officially turned him into a heart-throb", he expressed the wish not to be associated with Pride and Prejudice forever. He was, therefore, reluctant to accept similar roles and risk becoming typecast.
For a time, it did seem as if Mr. Darcy would overshadow the rest of his career, and there were humorous allusions to the role in his next five movies. The most notable of these was the casting of Firth as love interest Mark Darcy in the film adaptation of Bridget Jones's Diary, itself a modern-day retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Firth accepted the part as he saw it as an opportunity to lampoon his Mr. Darcy character. The film was very successful and critically well-liked. A sequel in 2004 was mostly panned by critics but was still financially successful.
Prior to this, Firth had a significant, supporting role in The English Patient (1996) playing the husband of Kristin Scott Thomas's character, whose jealousy about her adultery leads to both their deaths. He had parts in light romantic period pieces such as Shakespeare in Love (1998), Relative Values (2000), and The Importance of Being Earnest (2002). He appeared in several television productions, including Donovan Quick (an updated version of Don Quixote) (1999) and had a more serious role as Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart in Conspiracy (2001), concerning the Nazi Wannsee Conference; Firth was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his role.
2003–2009: Ensemble films (Love Actually and Mamma Mia!)[]
Firth featured in the ensemble all-star cast of Richard Curtis' Love Actually (2003), another financial success which divided critics. In contrast, that year Firth was also given solo billing as the romantic lead in Hope Springs, but the film received very poor reviews and made little impact at the box office. Firth played the painter Johannes Vermeer opposite Scarlett Johansson in the 2003 release Girl with a Pearl Earring. Some critics praised the film's gentle subtlety and sumptuous visuals, whilst others found it almost too restrained, tedious and bereft of emotion. Nevertheless, the film received mostly favorable reviews, was moderately successful with audiences and earned several awards and nominations. In 2005, Firth appeared in Nanny McPhee with Emma Thompson, a rare venture for Firth into the fantasy genre. Also in 2005, he appeared in Where the Truth Lies, a return to some of Firth's darker, more intense early roles, that included a notorious scene featuring a bisexual orgy. Sheila Johnston wrote that it "confounded his fans" but despite that his character "draws knowingly on that suave, cultivated persona," which could be traced from Mr. Darcy. Other films from this time included Then She Found Me (2007) with Helen Hunt and The Last Legion (2007) with Aishwarya Rai. In 2008, he played the adult Blake Morrison reminiscing on his difficult relationship with his ailing father in the film adaptation of Morrison's memoir, And When Did You Last See Your Father? The film received generally favorable reviews. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the film four out of five stars. Pierce Brosnan wrote in a guest column for The New York Times: "It's a pleasure to watch Mr. Firth – a supremely controlled actor who makes each developing fissure visible – show the adult Blake coming to terms with his contradictory feelings, letting the love and the hurt pour out of him."Philip French of The Observer wrote that Firth "[does] quiet agonising to perfection." However, Derek Elley of Variety called the film "an unashamed tearjerker that's all wrapping and no center." While he conceded that it was "undeniably effective at a gut level despite its dramatic shortcomings," he added that "Things aren't helped any by Firth's dour perf, as his Blake comes across as a self-centered whiner, a latter-day Me Generation figure who's obsessed with finding problems when there really aren't any."[58]
The film adaptation of Mamma Mia! (2008), was Firth's first foray into musicals, and he described the experience as "a bit nerve-wracking" but believed he got off lightly by being tasked with one of the less demanding songs, Our Last Summer. Mamma Mia became the highest grossing British-made film of all time, taking over $600 million worldwide. As with Love Actually, it polarised critics in their opinions, with supporters such as Empire calling it "cute, clean, camp fun, full of sunshine, and toe tappers," whereas Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian said the film gave him a "need to vomit". Carrie Rickey in The Philadelphia Inquirer described Firth's performance as "the embodiment of forced mirth." That year, Firth also starred in Easy Virtue, which screened at the Rome Film Festival to excellent reviews. Firth starred in Genova which premiered at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.
In 2009, he featured in A Christmas Carol, an adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel, using the performance capture procedure, playing Scrooge's optimistic nephew Fred.
2009–2011: The King's Speech and awards success[]
At the 66th Venice International Film Festival in 2009, Firth was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for his role in Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man as a college professor grappling with solitude after the death of his longtime partner. His performance earned Firth career best reviews and Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors' Guild, BAFTA, and BFCA nominations; he won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in February 2010.
Firth starred in the 2010 film The King's Speech as Prince Albert, Duke of York/King George VI. The film details his working to overcome his speech impediment while becoming monarch of the United Kingdom at the end of 1936. Director Tom Hooper spoke at length about Firth's own struggles with body odor at the time; "No matter how many times we hosed him down, the smell of mulch would not go away"[1]. At the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the film was met with a standing ovation. The TIFF release of The King's Speech fell on Colin's 50th birthday and was called the "best 50th birthday gift". On 16 January 2011, he won a Golden Globe for his performance in The King's Speech in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. The Screen Actors Guild recognised Firth with the award for Best Male Actor for The King's Speech on 30 January 2011. In February 2011, he won his second consecutive best actor award at the 2011 BAFTA awards. He received an Academy Award for Best Actor in a motion picture for The King's Speech on 27 February 2011. It went on to gross $414,211,549 worldwide.
Firth appeared as senior British secret agent Bill Haydon in the 2011 adaptation of the John le Carré novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, directed by Tomas Alfredson, also starring Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy. The film gathered mostly excellent reviews. The Independent described Firth's performance as "suavely arrogant" and praised the film. Deborah Young in The Hollywood Reporter thought Firth got "all the best dialogue", which he delivered "sardonically". Leslie Felperin in Variety wrote that all the actors brought their "A game" and Firth was in "particularly choleric, amusing form."
2012–present[]
In May 2011, Firth began filming Gambit – a remake of a 1960s crime caper, taking a part played in the original by Michael Caine. It was released in the UK in November 2012 and was a financial and critical failure, attracting many negative reviews. Empire's Kim Newman wrote, "Firth starts out homaging Caine with his horn-rimmed cool but soon defaults to his usual repressed British cold mode", whilst Time Out London called his a "likeable performance", although criticised the film overall.[84] Stephen Dalton writing in The Hollywood Reporter said "To his credit, Firth keeps his performance grounded in downbeat realism while all around are wildly mugging in desperate pursuit of thin, forced laughs. He will appear in Rupert Everett's directorial debut The Happy Prince, an Oscar Wilde biopic. Firth will play Wilde's friend Reginald "Reggie" Turner. Shooting began in September 2016.[88]
In May 2013, it was announced that Firth had signed to co-star with Emma Stone in Woody Allen's romantic comedy Magic in the Moonlight, set in the 1920s, shot on the French Riviera. In 2014, Firth starred as Harry Hart in the spy action film Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingsman: The Secret Service earned a gross of $414.4 million, against a budget of $81 million. In June 2015, he began filming the story of Donald Crowhurst in The Mercy, in which he stars as the amateur yachtsman alongside Rachel Weisz, David Thewlis, and Jonathan Bailey.
In 2016, Firth reprised his popular role as Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones's Baby, which fared much better with audiences and critics than the second in the series ("Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason"). Also in 2016, Firth portrayed American editor Max Perkins in Genius alongside Jude Law as author Thomas Wolfe.[92][93] The film, which is based on A. Scott Berg's biography Max Perkins: Editor of Genius.
In 2017, he reprised his role as Jamie from 2003's Love Actually in the television short film Red Nose Day Actually, by original writer and director Richard Curtis. Also that year, Firth returned as Harry Hart in the sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle. In 2018, Firth again portrayed Harry Bright in the sequel to Mamma Mia!, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. That year, he also appeared as William Weatherall Wilkins in the musical fantasy film Mary Poppins Returns, starring Emily Blunt in the title role. He also played British naval commander David Russell in Thomas Vinterberg's Kursk, a film about the true story of the 2000 Kursk submarine disaster, in which he starred alongside Matthias Schoenaerts. In 2019 he appeared as British General Erinmore in Sam Mendes’ World War I film 1917.
Other Work[]
Firth's first published work, "The Department of Nothing", appeared in Speaking with the Angel (2000). This collection of short stories was edited by Nick Hornby and was published to benefit the TreeHouse Trust, in aid of autistic children. Firth had previously met Hornby during the filming of the original Fever Pitch. Colin Firth contributed with his writing for the book, We Are One: A Celebration of Tribal Peoples, released in 2009. The book explores the cultures of peoples around the world, portraying both their diversity and the threats that they face. It features contributions from many Western writers, such as Laurens van der Post, Noam Chomsky, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and also from indigenous people, such as Davi Kopenawa Yanomami and Roy Sesana. The royalties from the sale of this book go to the indigenous rights organisation, Survival International. Firth was an executive producer for the film In Prison My Whole Life, featuring Noam Chomsky and Angela Davis. The film was selected to the 2007 London Film Festival and the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
In December 2010, Firth was guest editor on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, during which he commissioned research to scan the brains of politicians to see if there were any differences depending on political leanings. He was then credited as one of four co-authors of an academic paper into human brains, the others being University College London researchers. The results of the study suggested that conservatives have greater amygdala volume and liberals have greater volume in their anterior cingulate cortex. In 2012, Firth's audiobook recording of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair was released at Audible.com. The production was awarded Audiobook of the Year at the 2013 Audie Awards.[111]
In 2012, he co-founded Raindog Films with British music industry executive and entrepreneur Ged Doherty. its first feature, Eye in the Sky, for which Firth was co-producer, was released theatrically in April 2016.
Activism[]
Firth has been a long-standing supporter of Survival International, a non-governmental organisation that defends the rights of tribal peoples. Speaking in 2001, he said, "My interest in tribal peoples goes back many years... and I have supported [Survival] ever since." In 2003, during the promotion of the film Love Actually, he spoke in defence of the tribal people of Botswana, condemning the Botswana government's eviction of the Gana and Gwi people (San) from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. He says of the San, "These people are not the remnants of a past era who need to be brought up to date. Those who are able to continue to live on the land that is rightfully theirs are facing the 21st century with a confidence that many of us in the so-called developed world can only envy." He has also backed a Survival International campaign to press the Brazilian government to take more decisive action in defence of the Awá-Guajá people, whose land and livelihood is critically threatened by the actions of loggers.
As a supporter of the Refugee Council, Firth was involved in a campaign to stop the deportation of a group of 42 Congolese asylum seekers, expressing concerns in open letters to The Independent and The Guardian that they faced being murdered on their return to the Democratic Republic of Congo.Firth said: "To me, it's just basic civilisation to help people. I find this incredibly painful to see how we dismiss the most desperate people in our society. It's easily done. It plays to the tabloids, to the Middle-England xenophobes. It just makes me furious. And all from a government we once had such high hopes for". Four of the asylum seekers were given a last-minute reprieve from deportation.
Firth, along with other celebrities, has been involved in the Oxfam global campaign Make Trade Fair, focusing on trade practices seen as especially unfair to third world producers including dumping, high import tariffs, and labour rights. He has further contributed to this cause by opening (with a few collaborators) an eco-friendly shop in West London, Eco. The shop offers fair trade and eco-friendly goods, as well as expert advice on making spaces more energy efficient. In October 2009, at the London Film Festival, Firth launched a film and political activism website, Brightwide (since decommissioned), along with his wife Livia.
During the 2010 general election, Firth announced his support for the Liberal Democrats, having previously been a Labour supporter, citing asylum and refugees' rights as a key reason for his change in affiliation. In December 2010, Firth publicly dropped his support of the Liberal Democrats, citing their U-turn on tuition fees as one of the key reasons for his disillusionment. He also said that while he no longer supports the Liberal Democrats, he is currently unaffiliated. Firth appeared in literature to support changing the British electoral system from first-past-the-post to alternative vote for electing members of parliament to the House of Commons in the unsuccessful Alternative Vote referendum in 2011.
In 2009, Firth joined the 10:10 project, supporting the movement calling for people to reduce their carbon footprint. In 2010, Colin endorsed the "Roots & Shoots" education programme in the UK run by the Jane Goodall Institute (UK).
Personal life[]
In 1989, Firth began a relationship with Meg Tilly, his co-star in Valmont. They had a son (William Joseph Firth) in 1990. The family moved to the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. Firth's acting career slowed down until they broke up in 1994, and he returned to the UK. In 1997, Firth married Italian producer's assistant, turned producer, Livia Giuggioli. They have two sons. The family now live in both Chiswick, London, and Umbria, Italy. They separated in 2019, about two years after they revealed that Livia had an affair with an Italian journalist while the couple were briefly separated.
Firth was awarded an honorary doctorate on 19 October 2007 from the University of Winchester. On 13 January 2011, he was presented with the 2,429th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In April 2011, Time magazine included Firth in its list of the world's 100 Most Influential People. Firth was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to drama, and made a Freeman of the City of London on 8 March 2012. He also was awarded an honorary fellowship from the University of the Arts London in 2012.

Love Actually may have been mainly focused on England-based romances — but it proved time and again that love is all around!
The rom-com begins five weeks before Christmas and takes viewers on multiple journeys of love and romance. In the weeks leading up to the holiday, 10 separate stories are told. The thing that binds them all together? Love.
Nearly two decades later, the heartwarming story still resonates with fans who feel it in their fingers and feel it in their toes.
“Keira [Knightley] was cast for the youthfulness and cheerfulness of her spirit, and she is still like that. Bill [Nighy] is everlastingly young and irresponsible; Liam [Neeson] terribly paternal,” creator Richard Curtis told The New York Times in May 2017, after reuniting with the cast for a Red Nose Day short film. “Hugh Grant behaved well for one week of the original shoot, very badly for the rest, and did exactly the same thing over one day now. It’s rather reassuring.”

We all remember Hugh Grant's dashing Prime Minister and Emma Thompson's heartbreaking portrayal of Alan Rickman's long-suffering wife, but what happened to the rest of the cast who made Love Actually a Christmas hit?
Grant, Colin Firth, Martine McCutcheon and the other main actors of the 2003 movie have appeared in a ABC special airing today in the US to reminisce on the movie nearly 20 years after it was made.
The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later sees journalist Diane Sawyer interview the main stars as well as writer and director Richard Curtis.
But what about the actors who scored smaller roles on the festive classic and helped it make it the cult watch it is today?
For instance, Adam Godley, who led the school's choir into a now infamous rendition of All I Want For Christmas is You, has found fame at the theatre and in other shows since Love Actually was released.
Meanwhile, actresses with minor roles in the Christmas movie, including Sienna Guillory, who played Firth's cheating girlfriend in the film, or Julia Davis, who stood out as an unimpressed caterer, have seen their careers blossom on the small screen.
Here, Femail reveals the fame and fortunes of the actors whose smaller roles turned Love Actually into a hit.
Sienna Guillory - Jamie's cheating girlfriend
At the start of Love Actually, Jamie - played by Colin Firth - heads to his friends' Juliet and Peter's wedding and leaves his girlfriend, played by Sienna Guillory, at home.
The girlfriend doesn't have a name, yet plays an instrumental part in the plot of the movie, because she pretends to be sick so she can cheat on Jamie with his brother.
After he finds out he's been played by his girlfriend, Jamie travels to Portugal, where he meets Aurelia, played by Lucia Moniz, whom he falls in love with.
Since the release of Love Actually, Guillory has seen her career blossom.
She first found fame in Jilly Cooper’s Riders in 1993, became a top model, was a tabloid darling when she dated Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels star Nick Moran, and then moved to LA where she played a string of tough girls including warrior Jill Valentine in the hit Resident Evil series.
After having her girls, Valentina and Lucia, she was terrified she’d never work again. Instead, she had just a few weeks after the birth to get super-fit for the Resident Evil film, Retribution.
Sienna is married to actor Enzo Cilenti, and the pair moved back to the UK from LA in 2013 with their daughters because she wanted to be closer to her family.
‘I was terrified people would have forgotten me’ – but almost immediately she got the script for Luther, to play the maverick cop’s love interest Mary Day.
‘It’s easier to play characters that are different to you; with Jill Valentine I was all-powerful. With Mary I had to be really honest; she’s got emotional Tourette’s like me. Playing her was an emotional ride.’
Sienna says it was a joy to work with Luther’s lead Idris Elba.
‘He’s amazing,’ she gushed. ‘He’s really big, and I never knew what he was going to do next; pick me up or knock me over. The love scenes were a perk,’ she adds. ‘It was much nicer kissing him than Antonio Banderas, who told me I was a terrible kisser in front of the whole crew [on 2011’s The Big Bang].
She has also starred in several TV projects, including Stan Lee's thriller action series Lucky Man which aired from 2016 to 2018.
From 2015 to 2018 she also starred as Natalie Yelburton in Fortitude, alongside Richard Dormer and in In 2018 she also made an appearance in the music video for Liam Gallagher's Paper Crown.
In 2021, she played busy mum Maggie Howard in the part-animated children's movie Clifford The Big Red Dog.
Julia Davis - Annie The Caterer
Love Actually is beloved for mixing festive cheer with pure British comedy, as perfectly exampled by an interaction opposing Colin Frissell, played by Kris Marshall and a caterer named Annie, played by Julia Davis.
As he tries to charm the caterer at a party they are both attending, he criticises the finger food on offer, only to be mortified when the woman reveals she has provided the treats he just made fun of.
His interaction with Annie convinces Colin to move to the US, where he thinks women will be unable to resist his British charm.
Julia's career has propelled her to success since her appearance on the festive movie.
She's recently appeared in the TV series The Outlaws, and last year played Maureen McGuinness in the BBC drama A Very British Scandal.
That same year, she voiced Linda Le Bon in the animated movie Sing 2.
Throughout her career, she has endeared herself to fans with her roles in several BBC comedies, including much-loved sitcom Gavin and Stacey.
Julia played the unsatisfied, angry Dawn Sutcliffe, whose up and down relationship with husband Pete saw the pair exchange bitter insults one moment and playing tonsil tennis the next.
The couple's vow renewal in the third series of the popular show left fans in stitches as Dawn turned up her nose at her husband's blingy eternity ring, which she proclaimed 'disgusting' at the altar.
In addition to her hilarious performance in Gavin and Stacey, Julia starred in and wrote BBC black comedy Nighty Night - another favourite with comedy fans.
She plays Jill in the sitcom, who discovers in the first episode that her husband is terminally ill - and so signs up for online dating websites in order to find a replacement.
After little success, she instead turns to her attention to her neighbour, Don (played by Angus Deayton) who is also married.
Rodrigo Santoro - Karl
Hunky Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro played the shy object of Laura Linney's affections, Karl - although their almost-office romance never quite got off the ground on screen.
Since the release of Love Actually, Santoro has worked steadily, clocking up appearances in 300, and Focus alongside Margot Robbie.
Among his acting credits following the Christmas rom-com is a role in the third series groundbreaking ABC drama Lost, which followed survivors of a plane crash after they landed on a mysterious island.
Although he didn't have a leading role in the drama (his character Paulo was killed off shortly after he first appeared), the show was watched by millions - and no doubt, many viewers would have recognised the character from his role as Karl.
He's starred in the big budget HBO drama Westworld, a sci-fi-meets-the Wild West mash-up in which he played wanted gang leader Hector Escaton.
In 2016 Rodrigo received personal blessings from Pope Francis Santoro for his role as Jesus in Ben-Hur, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer financed remake of the sweeping 1959 biblical epic.
He also appeared alongside JLo in What To Expect When You're Expecting in 2011.
Throughout his career, Santoro has won countless awards - most of which were in Brazil.
He also received a nomination for an MTV Movie Award for best villain in 300.
Elisha Cuthbert - Carol-Anne - American Goddess
Playing a character credited as 'American Goddess,' Elisha Cuthbert was sure to have a busy career after her stint Love Actually.
The actress first rose to fame as Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer's daughter Kim in 24, before starring in the festive classic.
In the movie, she is one third of a trio of raucous American women who welcome Brit Colin Frissell, who hopes a move to the US will guarantee him a better love life.
Elisha, who plays Carol-Anne, and her friends, played by January Jones and Shannon Elizabeth, coax Colin into saying several words as they dote on his British accent.
A year after Love Actually was release, Elisha got the main role in the raunchy romcom The Girl Next Door, where she played a reformed adult movie actress who falls in love with her besotted neighbour.
She also continued her role as Kim Bauer in 24, who famously gets kidnapped in the pilot episode of the programme prompting her father Jack (Sutherland) to hunt down her captors.
In subsequent series, she remains a pivotal character to the plot (and gets kidnapped several more times), as viewers watch her grow into adulthood and pursue her own career while her father risks his life to save the world.
From 2011 to 2020, Elisha had a recurrent role on the romantic series Happy Endings, where she played Alex Kerkovich.
The mother-of-two - who shares Zaphire, four, and Fable, born earlier this year, with husband Dion Phaneuf, recently spoke about feeling 'pressured' in her early career to pose for sexy men's mag shoots.
'That's what the [film] studio wanted you to do...,' she said. 'I mean, Halle Berry was doing it, for God's sake… Jennifer Aniston was doing it. We were probably too young to be subjected to that, and feeling pressured to do that.'
Throughout her career, Elisha posed for the likes of FHM and Maxim and ended up on a number of 'hot girl' lists at the time.
She was previously dubbed TV's most beautiful woman by Maxim readers but at the time said she was worried about how her Happy Endings co-stars Casey Wilson and Eliza Coupe would react to the news.
'To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there's Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They're all stunning,' Elisha told Maxim at the time.
Adam Godley - Sam and Joanna's teacher Mr Trench
This actor played a small part in one of the movie's most iconic scene - the All I Want for Christmas choir rendition which serves as a Love Actually's emotional climax.
As the choir prepares to begin the song, Adam plays the teach who introduces the performance, before putting on a scarf and joining the choir.
The musical number sees Sam, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, playing the drums in hopes of impressing Joanna, the most popular girl in school, who he has a crush on.
Adam has enjoyed a successful career since 2003, multiplying projects both on and off screen.
He recently played the Archbishop in the irreverent historical drama on Catherine The Great, starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult.
He also voiced the chimp named Pogo in Netflix's uber successful Umbrella Academy.
His theatre work has also won him acclaim, who has been nominated for a Lawrence Olivier Award four times between 1999 and 2019.
He also won the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway Debut for his role in Private Lives, and was nominated for a Tony Award in 2011 for Anything Goes and this year for his part in The Lehman Trilogy.
Nina Sosanya - Annie
She played the Prime Minister's chief of staff in Love Actually, and Nina Sosanya's career only blossomed further after her appearance in the Christmas classic.
This versatile actress has been in some of TV's most beloved shows, including the second series of Killing Eve.
She also recently starred in Screwed alongside Derry Girls alum Jamie-Lee O'Donnell alongside this project she appeared as a recurrent character in the BBC TV series Staged.
And between 2019 and 2020, she got a starring role in His Dark Materials as Elaine Parry.
She has enjoyed a successful on stage career, starring in the emotional play Frozen in 2018 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
On top of her Acting career, Nina has dipped her toes into voiceover and audiobook work.
In the audiobooks of Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series, Nina reads the part of main character Sephy.
Marcus Brigstocke - Mikey
As local radio DJ Mikey, Marcus Brigstocke was surprised by interviewee Billy Mack's honesty during an appearance to promote his 'festering turd' of a Christmas single.
Since then he's gone on to work extensively in comedy on Radio 4, and presented a weekly topical chat show on BBC Four called The Late Edition.
The comic appeared on the reality show The Jump in 2014, but was forced to withdraw from the grand final after injuring his knee.
Marcus played the title role in a revival of American musical Barnum in 2017, for which he acquired specialist circus skills including magic and walking a tightrope.
In his personal life, Marcus has been married to fellow comedian Rachel Parris since 2019.
Rachel is best known for hosting the late night comedy show, The Mash Report, with Nish Kumar.
Earlier this year, Rachel appeared on Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time podcast where she opened up about how she had tragically miscarried a baby while 21 weeks pregnant in August 2020 during the pandemic.
However, the pair now share a son, Billy, who was born in 2021.
Joanna Page - Just Judy
One of the funniest love stories unfolding in the Christmas classic follow two actor stunt doubles falling in love over the holidays as they film nude scenes for a blockbuster movie.
Joanna Page played the young blonde ingenue falling for Martin Freeman and who eventually agrees to go out with him in the run up to Christmas.
The actress's career exploded following her appearance on Love Actually and she went on to star alongside James Corden in Gavin and Stacey.
Playing the show's title character Stacey from Barry, who meets Essex-based Gavin on the phone as their respective companies trade with one another, Page won the hearts of the nation in the sitcom which became much loved among Britons.
Throughout the show, she charmed viewers with her portrayal of the homesick Stacey, who felt out of place in Essex and found happiness when she continued married life in her hometown of Barry.
She was reunited with Love Actually co-star Julia Davis as her character was bemused by Davis's Dawn and her husband Pete, who aired their dirty laundry for all to see.
Endearing herself to the nation, Joanna went from strength to strength, and recently played Bethan Stubbins in the 2020 movie Doolittle, starring Robert Downey Jr.
She has also starred in several made-for-TV production throughout the year.
Lucia Moniz - Aurelia
As a Portuguese cleaner, Moniz made viewers believe in true love as she fell for Colin Firth's character Jamie.
The multi-talented star had success as a singer before starring in the Richard Curtis film and returned to the music industry after its release, producing albums in 2005 and 2011.
Moniz reprised her role from Love Actually for Red Nose Day Actually, a short-film sequel that was broadcast on British television in March 2017.
While her film catalogue remains short, Lucia has appeared in several television shows in Portugal, while maintaining her singing career.
And she will forever be remembered in her home country after representing Portugal at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996.
Gregor Fisher - Joe
Long-suffering and gloriously 'normal' music manager Joe was the perfect folly to the outrageous Billy Mack in the festive movie.
George Fisher has had landed a handful of film roles in recent years and in TV shows including Missing and Oliver Twist.
The actor rose to fame playing the titular role in the series Rab C. Nesbitt from 1989 to 1999 and reprised it from 2008 to 2014.
He endeared himself so much to Love Actually fans that viewers were shocked when his character was cut off from the 2017 Red Nose Love Actually special which saw some of the cast return as their famed characters from the Christmas movie.
Last year, Fisher played Ray in the family sitcom The Cockfields.
Meg Wynn Owen - PM's secretary
The late Meg Wynn Owen played Hugh Grant's stern-looking secretary in Love Actually.
Sadly, the actress's life ended on a tragic note after she was swindled off £65,000 by a conman.
Meg, who died in July earlier this year, 82, and whose real name was Margaret Wright, was forced to wear dead people's clothes at her care home and have staff cut her hair after she was robbed of all her money.
Brian Malam, 60, was jailed for more than two-and-a-half years for raiding the dementia sufferer's life savings.
A court heard the pair struck up a friendship while working on BBC shows before Malam - who was a costume designer on the Doctor Who video games - was made her power of attorney.
Prosecutor Abigail Jackson said Mrs Wright - who also starred in Upstairs, Downstairs and Pride & Prejudice - entrusted Malam to transfer money to her care home.
But Malam instead made electronic payments of £53,000 along with more than £11,000 in direct spending from her accounts to himself, Cardiff Crown Court heard.
Ms Jackson said the alarm was raised by her bank when they spotted suspicious activity on Mrs Wright's account.
She said: 'Mrs Wright became terribly upset about it. The matter was then reported to the police in September 2020.
'That's how the investigation with the police started and the matter came to light.'
The court heard Mrs Wright's Barclay's account was left with a £1,750.12 overdraft which was later written off by the bank.

There are two main opinions of Richard Curtis' Love Actually– it's either regarded as a Christmas classic, or seen as wildly overrated and overexposed. Its status as a seminal Christmas showing has put it alongside It's a Wonderful Life, Elf and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The film was an attempt by Richard Curtis to tell a multi-tiered narrative, to combine nine separate stories and stack them alongside each other. He wasn't entirely successful in that goal- the film's pacing is unwieldy and the plots don't always follow each other cleanly, but the result has some level of success.
To celebrate our mini-Christmas issue, in this most dreadful of years, I am going to rank all nine Love Actually stories from worst to best. This list is entirely subjective of course, based on how I respond to each storyline. There's no real right or wrong order. This is simply an attempt to highlight the things that work in the movie and the things that would have been better off on the cutting room floor.
So, without further ado, here goes:
9. Colin's Journey to America
The weakest storyline in Love Actually seems to be based entirely around the supposition that American women find all British men attractive, regardless of physical appearance. Unlucky yet perpetually annoying Colin Frissell, played by Kris Marshall, decides that the best way to find romance at Christmas is to fly to the States and try his luck there. He ends up in a small Milwaukee bar, where three inexplicably attractive women, including January Jones, are conveniently drinking. Expectedly, Colin's dreams come true and he returns to England with Denise Richards and Heidi Klum. This story is both childish and boring and it doesn't help that Colin is a bit of an idiot, who, in the real world, would have been laughed out of the bar (it also seems strange that three gorgeous young ladies are drinking in a shabby bar in Milwaukee). The only positive thing that can be said about Colin's story is it isn't excessively big and doesn't take up a lot of screen time.
8. John and Judy
It's rarely mentioned that Martin Freeman is in Love Actually, given the number of other big stars in the film and the fact it was made just after The Office had finished. Freeman shares his time mostly with Gavin and Stacey's Joanna Page, with the two of them playing body doubles who stimulate sexual intercourse on the set of a film. The story goes that the two of them, despite being naked most of the time, are too shy to ask the other out, before John eventually plucks up the courage and they become engaged. This isn't as stupid as Colin's story, but it's kind of like an afterthought, an idea thrown together at the last minute that never really takes flight. John and Judy are the forgotten couple in Love Actually– nothing stands out about them.
7. Juliet, Peter and Mark
In the same year she starred opposite Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, an eighteen-year-old Keira Knightley was at the centre of Love Actually's most uncomfortable plotline. Her character, Juliet, marries Chiwetel Ejiofor's Peter, but his best man, Mark (a pre-Walking Dead Andrew Lincoln) is in love with her. He films the wedding video entirely from her perspective before he silently declares his undying love for her on her doorstep, to which she responds with a kiss. This love triangle works at the start, when it seems Mark is jealous of Juliet for marrying his best friend and getting in the way of their friendship, but it starts to go wrong when Juliet visits Mark's house and innocently says ‘I look quite pretty'. Rather than confront Mark, or tell Peter how his friend feels, Juliet seems more content in letting Mark suffer- the scene in which he runs from his flat and shouts on the street is deeply unsettling, because Juliet has essentially forced Mark into showing her the wedding video rather than sensing his obvious reluctance to do so. A bit more sensitivity in Curtis' writing could have made this a powerful story of unrequited love- instead, it feels rather tacky.
6. Jamie and Aurelia
Colin Firth was the romcom man of the moment in the early 2000s following his breakout role in Pride and Prejudice. Having tried to woo Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones' Diary, he turns his attention to his Portuguese housemaid in Love Actually, after fleeing to his French college when he discovers his girlfriend is having an affair with his brother. Predictably, Jamie and Aurelia fall in love, despite her being unable to speak English and after declaring his love for her, they marry. This is a rather heart-warming and touching episode, well played by both Firth and Lucia Moniz, yet it's rather twee and fluffy, never really feeling like a legitimate story, but rather one you would find in any generic romantic comedy. It comes complete with a scene where they go swimming to retrieve Jamie's lost papers, which is the turning point in their relationship. All of that said, however, the moment Jamie tries to ask Aurelia to marry him is awkwardly endearing, a trait Firth is terrific at playing.
5. David and Natalie
This is the story that contains Love Actually's unique contribution to society- a dancing Prime Minister. It pairs up Hugh Grant, Curtis' former muse, and former EastEnders star Martine McCutcheon as David and Natalie, the unmarried PM and his tea lady, who begin to develop an attraction for one another. After successfully embarrassing Billy Bob Thornton's President, David realises he can't ignore his feelings forever and hunts Natalie down, sealing their newly formed romance with a kiss on stage at her old school's Nativity play. The moment in which Grant's character starts dancing to Girls Aloud's Jump has gone down in cinema history as either brilliantly bonkers or cringingly awful (maybe this was what inspired Theresa May's ‘dance' a few years ago). Grant always works well when working with Curtis and he plays David with a mixture of street smart and awkwardness, while McCutcheon is a delight as Natalie. The thing that stings about this story are the rather tactless and unnecessary jibes about Natalie's weight, with several characters, including her father, commenting on it. David may be able to see past them, but there's no need to belittle a character so often.
4. Sarah, Karl and Martin
Is there a storyline in Love Actually more frustrating than Sarah's? Played excellently by Laura Linney, she is the quiet, endearing American in love with Rodrigo Santoro's brooding Brazilian Karl, her co-worker. After hitting it off at the work's Christmas party, she invites him back to her house, where it seems she is finally going to get the man of her dreams. Halfway through, her mentally ill brother Michael calls, and despite Karl's protestations, she chooses to go to him rather than continue their dalliance. Their final meeting is on Christmas Eve, where he merely wishes her a Merry Christmas and she spends the festive season with her brother. Curtis' depiction of Michael's dependency on Sarah is crushingly accurate, a reflection of the sacrifices people with mentally ill relatives are often forced to make. It's Karl's attitude towards the situation that's irritating- surely, he can't be that pig-headed that he can't make allowances for what is obviously a very trying situation? This is one example of Curtis choosing not to wrap things up neatly and, therefore, it's one of his strongest writing achievements in the movie.
3. Daniel and Sam
The idea of a ten year old boy being in love with his classmate may seem absurd, but it's not the driving force of the story that gives Liam Neeson one of his most sensitive characters. He plays Daniel, a widower left looking after his stepson Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) when his wife dies. He is left bemused when Sam tells him he is in love with his American classmate Joanna (Olivia Olson), who shares the same name as his mother. After deciding to become a musician, he is a drummer during Joanna's Christmas performance. When this doesn't seem to work, Daniel and Sam head to the airport, where he chases after Joanna and she rewards him with a kiss. Why this storyline strikes so well is because its about the bond between stepfather and stepson, this relationship formed through marriage that survives the death of the most important figure in their life and is strengthened by their mutual support of each other. Neeson and Sangster are believable, warm and touching- the moment Sam calls Daniel ‘Dad' is a wonderful piece that sums up everything the story is trying to tell.
2. Billy Mack
By far Love Actually's funniest story concerns Billy Mack (Bill Nighy), an ageing rock ‘n' roll legend who records an awful Christmas single, Christmas is all Around and then proceeds to relentlessly promote it in the hope someone will buy it. This leads to hilarious encounters with Ant and Dec, Michael Parkinson and an appearance on local radio before a party at Elton John's house to celebrate his success. In the end, though, Billy decides his long-time manager Joe needs company, so he retreats to his house where he tells Joe that he regards him, affectionately, as the love of his life. Billy Mack doesn't interact with any of the other main characters, but Nighy's excellent comic timing, some genuinely witty one-liners and Curtis' obvious fondness for the character result in him leaving a huge impression on the story, to the point where we end up waiting for him to come back on screen. Billy Mack's love isn't romantic, or unrequited, it's simply two best friends who look out for each other and that's something everyone can relate to.

Love Actually turned 19 this year, so while I appreciate this review is a little tardy, I was curious to see if it had aged better than I have.

Love Actually is my favourite romantic comedy (what? You don’t have one?). This is because its got a great mix of soppy, funny, absurd and sad which means there is literally something for everyone. It’s also got a fantastic cast to fill the key roles in the movie. I was reading an interview in Empire magazine with Richard Curtis who made the point that if it was cast today, with the same actors, Love Actually would be the most “overcast” movie ever.
This got me thinking. What has happened to the key cast from one of the best British movies of recent times? Its surprising how many have gone on to great things, become household names, in America and in Britain, but also how many have done very little, or had their career plateau. We start with the two biggest successes…
Colin Firth
In Love Actually, Colin Firth was the love struck man who had to woo his sweetheart without words. We watched as he struggled to communicate his feelings and the two got closer and closer. It ends in a very funny way and plays on the character Firth had been known for up until then – the dashing British gentleman. He was known most for Mr Darcy and arguably Bridget Jones’ Diary but it would be The King’s Speech that would see him gain a Best Actor Oscar and become an international, household name. He hasn’t jumped at many new and exciting roles but he is arguably the biggest success from the British romantic comedy.
Keira Knightley
The second person from the movie to go from practical obscurity to huge, worldwide, household fame. She isn’t even a huge part of the movie but is in one of the scenes many remember, as Andrew Lincoln (we’ll get to him in a moment) silently confesses his love to her while her husband sits in the living room oblivious.
Love Actually was released in the same year as the franchise that catapulted her to fame, Pirates of the Caribbean. Since then she hasn’t looked back, with roles in Never Let Me Go, A Dangerous Method and Antonement. Though she hasn’t won an Oscar, she is still one of the most successful actresses from Love Actually.
Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson was already a solid, Hollywood name before he did Love Actually but if you look at the movies he did before and around the romantic comedy, they are a far cry from the action hero with special skills we know him as today. In the movie he is a man struggling to raise a son after the loss of his wife but if you told me what Neeson was most famous for now, it would be kicking ass in Taken, The Grey and Unknown, to name just a few.
Martin Freeman
Martin Freeman’s role in Love Actually is one of the smallest but he is soon to be one of the biggest Hollywood stars to come from Britain. He plays a man who helps set the lighting and camera angles for porn movies, who through this work, falls in love with Joanna Paige (who has an even smaller role before she goes on to become a British star in Gavin and Stacey). Now he is much more famous as the modern Doctor Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock and even more well-known for playing Bilbo Baggins. Not bad for the guy who played Tim from The Office.
Andrew Lincoln
Before Love Actually, most British people would associate Andrew Lincoln with his role in Channel Four drama Teachers. After Love Actually, Lincoln wasn’t seen much on British television until he got the starring role in the massive American drama, The Walking Dead. Now he is almost unrecognisable as either Simon from Teachers or Mark from Love Actually. In fact, I bet most Americans wouldn’t even know he’s British.
Of course, not everyone can go on to huge success and while I looked down the cast list of Love Actually, it’s actually surprising how many people have done very little than plateau since Love Actually. For example…
Hugh Grant
If you look at Hugh Grant’s movies since Love Actually, there is very little to distinguish him from the same, usual characters. They are all likable, British buffoons. Cloud Atlas is his biggest departure from the casting niche he has found for himself. It’s not a bad thing to have found that one role you can repeat but I’m sure there is more to Hugh Grant’s abilities than muddling over awkward speech.
Bill Nighy
If you look at Bill Nighy’s career since Love Actually, he has never really been the star. He has never led a movie or owned a role completely. His most famous turn after Love Actually is probably as Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He has a lot of work, is always fantastic and is probably more famous for his voice than his look, which is a shame because there is much more to Nighy than his film acting career really demonstrates.
Rowan Atkinson
Rowan Atkinson is a British comedy legend but if you look at his work after Love Actually, it soon becomes apparent that the movie was the end of the best of Atkinson’s work. He is great in Love Actually, influencing stories and playing key parts in each characters life but since this great role, he’s relied on previous characters and not in a good way. Another Mr Bean movie and another Johnny English film were both poor uses for his talents.
He was good in the Olympic opening ceremony though…

As Love Actually is back in French theaters in a 4K version, I took the opportunity to tap into the festive mood and watch this romantic comedy with cult status, which had been missing from the list of films I've seen in my lifetime.

I'm a big fan of romantic comedies and Christmas movies alike, but I have to admit I missed out on Love Actually. So when I heard that the famous rom-com was coming back to theaters in a fully restored version on Tuesday, December 5 (twenty years after its first theatrical release), I hurried to finally check out the Christmas classic.
The film opens with a kiss, Richard Curtis's camera captures those precious moments when people reunite with their loved ones in an airport terminal (a familiar meeting place in romantic comedies). "Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport," confides an endearing male narrator. According to him, there is no better place to observe shows of emotion. "You'll see that love, in the end, is everywhere. It's not always dignified or glorious, but it's always there." If love is introduced as the keyword so early on in Love Actually, will it make a good film? I was about to find out!
Christmas in London looks magical
After a preview of a cast worth mentioning, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, and Claudia Schiffer, to name but a few, in the opening credits, we head east, away from the airport, towards the center of London. By setting his film in the cold, snowy London of December, Richard Curtis certainly wins brownie points. With Christmas just a few weeks away, the city is splendid. Garlands of fairy lights illuminate the sumptuously decorated streets, and a huge Christmas tree fills the department store galleries, all to the soundtrack's delightful melody. The film captures only the best of England, the charm of London and especially of its chic neighborhoods in the run-up to the festive season. As Hugh Grant himself points out when his character, the British Prime Minister, gives a speech to the press, his country is above all that of "The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that." Admittedly, this sense of wonder is somewhat utopian, even exclusive, but it is also one of the elements that we expect to see in a traditional romantic comedy. When properly tied to the narrative, it works perfectly (so much so that I find myself dreaming of spending and enchanting Christmas in London).
Daniel and Sam's relationship is adorable
A series of scenes follow, introducing us to each character (of which there are many). Right from the start, I fall under the spell of the little boy named Sam (played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) who finds himself living with his stepfather, Daniel (Liam Neeson), when his mother dies. Although he has experienced so much heartache and has been carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders since the funeral, something else seems to be troubling him. As a parent in the making who is attentive to Sam's emotions and needs, Daniel asks him about the source of his worries. The child replies that he's in love, with none other than the coolest girl in school, he says. The problem is that he doesn't know how to approach her. The two men develop a bond as they talk about love, and I appreciate the seriousness with which the adult engages in these conversations. As soon as he realizes the importance of the situation to the young Sam, he adapts his speech with benevolence. And even when he doesn't have the right words to respond to Sam's romantic torments, he proves himself to be imaginative. In the end, he's the ideal father, who is not afraid to talk about his feelings, or even about love in general, the one who'd rather watch Titanic while crying than deny his sorrow. The scene that truly melted my heart was the final one, which sees Daniel take Sam to the airport so that he can declare his love for Joanna, before she leaves the country for America.
Harry's character is loathsome
On the other hand, I can't say that I can sing as many praises for Harry. While I was delighted to see actor Alan Rickman on screen (my imagination still links him to Harry Potter's Professor Severus Snape), the character Richard Curtis wrote for him in Love Actually is simply unbearable. We first discover him as a toxic employer when he brings one of his employees into his office to "advise" her on her love life. Not only does he meddle in a strictly personal matter, but he also abuses his power to encourage her to do something she might not have wanted to do (or at least not in this way). He suggests that she ask out the colleague she's infatuated with. According to Harry, everyone in the company knows about her feelings and it would be embarrassing to continue to do nothing. After following his advice, the employee in question finds herself forced and humiliated to the core.
This is followed by an even more inappropriate scene, which sees Harry talk to his secretary, Mia. Although Mia makes no secret of her intention to seduce him, Harry (who, in addition to being her superior, happens to be considerably older than she is) takes pleasure in letting her imagine that an affair between the two of them might be possible. He never misses an opportunity to display inappropriate behavior or words, from longing glances to comments about the way she dresses. He's got nothing going for him. Especially not the present he decides to give her for Christmas. While his wife bears the mental burden of finding gifts for the whole family, including her husband, he has no better idea than to spend his spare time buying a necklace for his potential mistress. It's a situation that makes me laugh because it's so true about how clumsy men can be (not to mention how little effort they put into the annual task of Christmas gift-giving). So, on the morning of December 25, Karen (Emma Thompson), receives her traditional scarf under the tree, just as she has done in previous years. As despicable and unoriginal as he may be, Harry's character is nonetheless believable. Let's face it, if the pathetic, flirtatious boss who cheats on his wife with his secretary is a hard-boiled cliché, it's because he maintains a certain closeness to reality.
Mark's declaration of love to Juliet is truly bizarre
At the heart of the great sentimental puzzle that is Love Actually lies the relationship between Mark (Andrew Lincoln) and Juliet (Keira Knightley). She has just married Peter, and he is her husband's best friend. Apart from this tie, nothing else seems to bring them together. They have little in common and conversation hardly flows between them. Yet Richard Curtis wants us to believe that Mark is crazy about her. First, at her wedding, he films only her through his camera. But the most absurd of all is the famous sign scene. I say famous because, even though I'm watching the film for the first time, this scene inevitably floods social media every year in the run-up to the holidays. It's impossible not to have it in mind when people talk to me about Love Actually. So here's what I think of it (after watching it). Ringing your best friend's doorbell, being greeted by his wife, asking her to lie about you being there and instead that say that it's carol singers at the door, and then taking the opportunity to declare your love for her is all just as problematic as it is unbelievable. I'm willing to listen to the sentiment behind the staging of the signs, but it nevertheless strikes me as highly questionable to do so with the wife of one's best friend (who happens to be in the very next room during this encounter). The final blow comes when Juliet decides, out of the blue, to kiss Mark.
Seeing Hugh Grant dancing like nobody is watching is enough to make it worth the watch
Another iconic scene, and one that didn't disappoint me this time, is Hugh Grant's dance when his character believes that he is alone in his room at 10 Downing Street. The actor sways to the soundtrack of the Pointer Sisters' “Jump,” descending the stairs as if making a grand entrance to a nightclub, then continues into the living room, where he bumps into his secretary. He turns around and returns to his apartments, leaving me wanting to pause and watch this unforgettable scene all over again before continuing with the film.
There is body shaming throughout
However, Hugh Grant is not a blameless Prime Minister. Funny and endearing as he is in many ways, he also contributes to the film's fat-shaming, which is especially apparent with the character of Natalie (Martine McCutcheon). Like most of the women in Love Actually, her main purpose is to allow men's desires to exist, in this case that of the Prime Minister, who has a huge crush on her. And while women's bodies are the subject of conversation among the men, Natalie's looks are particularly subjected to shame and belittlement. She is repeatedly told that she does not fit into the standards of beauty (at least those of twenty years ago). Her thighs are too big, her breasts too visible. Natalie is nothing but an object to men (her ex-boyfriend even left her because "nobody wants a girlfriend with thighs the size of tree trunks," and her father calls her “plumpy." While Grant's character avoids making inappropriate comments for most of the film, he does not publicly defend the woman he claims to love.
There are some subplots we could have done without
Of Love Actually's many love storylines, I have to admit that I don't see the point in some. Whether it's the absurd meeting between two actors on what appears to be the set of a pornographic film. I find myself more disappointed by the lack of attention paid to the actress - who learns at the last minute that she has to strip naked and have her breasts fondled by her acting partner - than I am interested in the budding romance between the two characters. As for the adventures of Billy Mack or and Colin Frissell, it might have been preferable to concentrate on the stories that are essential to the comedy, even if it meant developing them further.
Love Actually is not a total failure. However, in my opinion, it contains too many faux pas to make it genuinely pleasant to watch without our critical thinking getting carried away. I look for peace of mind in my Christmas romcoms. Here, I can't help but cringe at the accumulation of sexist comments (but also camera shots) that serve the male gaze. And this burdens both the female and male characters. On the one hand, men have to embody absolute virtue in all circumstances (Karen takes the liberty of suggesting to her friend Daniel that he should get over his wife's death as quickly as possible and "get a grip" as “people hate Sissies.” As for the women, they do not exist for anything other than their discretion. Can we talk about the fact that the writer, played by Colin Firth, falls in love with his female cleaner without even having a chance to have a conversation with her? These details have not aged well. If they could have been omitted, the film would probably have been better off.

"Love Actually" Is 20 Years Old, So Here's 18 Surprising Things About The Film You Might've Not Known
There was almost an alternate ending to the film, but it would've been too difficult to film...
It's the holiday season! So here are 18 facts about Love Actually that just might take you by surprise:
1. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth's storylines were originally conceived as separate films.
2. The idea for the airport reunion clips at the end of the film came while Richard was stuck at an airport around the time of filming the 1997 film Bean, which he wrote and also starred Rowan Atkinson. Rowan plays Rufus, the jewelry salesman in Love Actually.
3. Better yet, the airport reunion clips weren't staged.
4. Emma Thompson wore a fat suit, according to the Telegraph.
5. Some cast members do not rewatch the film, including Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley.
6. Laura Linney and Rodrigo Santoro, who played coworkers who try for a chance at love, were both recently dumped when they filmed their big kissing scene.
7. Alan Rickman apparently hated filming that gift wrapping scene.
8. Hugh Grant didn't want to do his now-iconic dance scene.
9. However, Hugh said he came up with the idea of having his secretary walk in on him dancing.
10. Andrew Lincoln wrote the handwritten cards his character Mark presents to Juliet.
11. However, he worried his character was coming off "as a creepy stalker."
12. January Jones, who played the American Jeannie, apparently wrote about half of her lines.
13. Richard named Colin's character Jamie after his brother for a very funny reason.
14. Rowan's character Rufus was initially conceived as an angel sent to stop Harry from buying that necklace for his secretary.
15. Though many characters never shared screen time, apparently most of the cast were on set together to film the airport scene.
16. The was an alternate ending never filmed where the cast cross paths on a bridge.
17. Finally, in case you didn't know, a mini-sequel short film was released in 2017.
18. And some cast members even recreated several of their iconic film scenes in the mini-sequel, including Mark's cards:
And Daniel (Liam Neeson) and Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) having a heart-to-heart on the bench.
And, of course, the prime minister's dance...though no update on if Hugh was happy this time to break out his moves.
Love Actually is currently streaming on Netflix.

Love actually is, still, all around.
This holiday season marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved Christmas film "Love Actually," which first debuted in November 2003.
The 2-hour movie follows multiple love stories, most of which take place in the U.K., that overlap and intertwine with one another.
Here's a look back at the actors when the movie was first released, and what the cast looks like now.
Hugh Grant, 63
As the newly minted prime minister of the U.K., Hugh Grant's character David quickly realizes he's falling for young staffer Natalie. Though taboo to be dating someone within the inner government circle, David's feelings can only be suppressed for so long, and the two are eventually caught kissing at the local primary school's Christmas play.
Martine McCutcheon, 47
Martine McCutcheon played Natalie, the prime minister's striking but slightly awkward junior staffer, in the 2003 film. From the moment she meets David, Natalie is at a loss for words and her feelings towards him only grow stronger over time.
Emma Thompson, 64
Emma Thompson's character Karen is the sister of the prime minster and married to Harry, who she shares two kids with. The holiday season seems pleasant for Karen until she notices her husband having eyes for his secretary. Upon receiving a disappointing Christmas present, she faces the harsh reality of her situation and is faced with a decision: to leave Harry on Christmas or keep on a brave face for her family.
Alan Rickman, died at 69
Alan Rickman, who died in January 2016 from cancer, played Harry, Karen's husband. He's emotionally cheating on his wife, at the very least, with his secretary Mia, who attempts to seduce him any chance she gets. Though he seems to feel guilty about his actions, Harry ends up putting a major rift in his family life.
Heike Makatsch, 52
Heike Makatsch portrayed Mia in the film, the chic young secretary for Rickman's character Harry. Though it's never shown that the two get together, Mia makes her interest known as Harry purchases her a stunning necklace for Christmas.
Bill Nighy, 73
As the one of the biggest rockstars at the time, Billy Mack, played by Bill Nighy, embraces his reputation as the raunchy, goofy performer — continuously saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. He comes out with a Christmas version of his hit song, which gains massive traction. But by the end of the film, he realizes that all the people suddenly in love with his lifestyle don't appreciate him for his true self like those closest to him.
Gregor Fisher, 69
Billy Mack's manager, Joe, played by Gregor Fisher, is truly the only person who's with the singer at all times and understands him like no one else. Joe has to clean up Billy's mess as he constantly makes inappropriate remarks, but ultimately loves the singer and his job.
Liam Neeson, 71
After his wife dies, Liam Neeson's character Daniel is left with his stepson, Sam, and attempts to navigate this new life. Daniel and Sam grow as a father-son duo and become best friends, as Daniel helps the young kid win over the girl of his dreams at school.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 33
Thomas Brodie-Sangster portrayed Sam, who decides to take his stepdad's advice in chasing down the love of his life, an American student named Joanna, by learning to play the drums. In the primary school's play, Sam whips out his newfound musical talent. However, after thinking his efforts weren't enough to win Joanna over before she returns to the U.S., Sam takes his mission to Heathrow Airport.
Olivia Olson, 31
Sam's love interest Joanna is played by Olivia Olsen. Johanna is London's new girl who's originally from the States and has to go back by the end of the movie — giving Sam a timeline for swooning.
Colin Firth, 63
Colin Firth's character Jamie has a reality check when he walks in on his fiancée cheating on him with his brother and decides to take a trip to the countryside to focus on his writing. Amid his writer's block, Jamie unexpectedly meets Aurelia, a Portuguese woman who is working as a housekeeper at the cottage. Aurelia doesn't speak a lick of English, and Jamie doesn't speak Portuguese, but the two have a connection that runs deeper than language. Though they said but a few words to one another, Jamie decides once he's back in London that he can't live without Aurelia and travels to find her.
Lúcia Moniz, 47
Aurelia, played by Lúcia Moniz, develops mutual feelings for Jamie while working as the cottage's housekeeper and attempts to take an interest in his writing, despite their language barrier. After the two part ways to return home, Jaime seeks out Aurelia to propose in Portuguese, only to find that she's been learning English.
Keira Knightley, 38
Keira Knightley's character Juliet is happily married to her new husband, Peter — but Peter's best friend Mark is also in love with Juliet. She seems completely oblivious to this, as does everyone else, but she has a revelation while watching her wedding video that Mark filmed.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 46
Peter, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, seems happy to start his new life with Juliet, but suspects his friend Mark doesn't like his new wife. Though Mark eventually confesses his love to Juliet, Peter never seems to realize his friend had feelings for his significant.
Andrew Lincoln, 50
Andrew Lincoln played Mark, whose feelings toward Juliet were revealed after she plays her wedding tape that Mark filmed. After watching the video, which is made up of mostly clips of Juliet, Mark walks out in a hurry. However, he later returns on Juliet's doorstep to quietly confess his love for her — without requesting anything in return.
Laura Linney, 59
Sarah, played by Laura Linney, works for Harry's company and is in love with her co-worker, Karl, which is widely known across the employee social sphere. This relationship seems promising, as Karl does express interest in Sarah, but they never get together because she's constantly having to care for her brother, who is institutionalized.
Rodrigo Santoro, 48
Rodrigo Santoro plays Karl, who comes across as the somewhat nerdy but sweet and attractive man at the office. Karl and Sarah are continuously drawn to each other, but life keeps getting in the way of them starting a relationship.
Martin Freeman, 52
Martin Freeman's character John stars as a body double for adult movies in London. On set, he and his new co-star Judy quickly become comfortable being intimate with one another, given the nature of their jobs. They begin to have relatable conversations while filming and start to fall for each other.
Joanna Page, 46
Judy, a body double for adult films played by Joanna Page, eventually goes on a date with John to get to know each other better outside of their jobs. At the end of the film, they are seen attending the primary school's Christmas play together.
Kris Marshall, 50
Kris Marshall portrays Colin, who struggles with his love life and blames it on the type of women he encounters in England. Colin decides to take a leap of faith and book a flight to Wisconsin to see if he has better luck with women in the States — and well, he does.
Abdul Salis, 44
Tony, played by Abdul Salis, is Colin's friend and is constantly telling him to stop blaming his unsuccessful love life on the market of women. He also acts as a production assistant of the films starring John and Judy.

The Love Actually cast would look very different if Richard Curtis' Christmas movie was filmed today.

Love Actually officially turns 20 today, which means it has been 20 years since we first saw Hugh Grant dancing to Girls Aloud around 10 Downing Street – while also sobbing as Alan Rickman handed Emma Thompson another Joni Mitchell CD.
The Richard Curtis flick, also starring Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson and Martine McCutcheon, first hit the big screen on November 14, 2003, and has remained a Christmas staple ever since.
Let’s be honest, is it really the festive period until Rowan Atkinson has spent an alarming amount of time wrapping presents? Absolutely not.
However, it’s fair to say that a lot has changed since the release and casting director Fiona Weir, who worked alongside the late Mary Selway on the movie, opened up about how they would portray the differences in the present day.
‘The first thing is I would cast a female prime minister,’ she told Metro.co.uk when asked who would make the cut if Love Actually was released now.
‘I think if we were doing it today, Richard would write it very differently. 20 years on, it’s a different country, it’s a different world, a lot has changed.
‘So, I think it will be a very different script, you can’t really sort of transpose actors on it. But the one thing I can declare is that we would definitely, definitely cast a female prime minister.
‘Adjoa Andoh would be brilliant. I think she’d be wonderful.’
Seeing how effortlessly Adjoa rules the world as Lady Agatha Danbury in Bridgerton, we would definitely be on board with this.
Richard has previously opened up about his biggest regrets while behind the camera on Love Actually, sharing that the ‘lack of diversity’ made him feel ‘uncomfortable and a bit stupid’.
He also voiced his remorse over ‘jokes’ at the expense of Martine’s character’s weight, as Natalie was described as ‘plumpy’ with ‘huge thighs’ throughout.
When asked how she believes the film has held up over the last two decades, Fiona agreed that certain lines wouldn’t be included today, but praised the overall timelessness of the majority of the material.
‘Of course, there’s a couple of things in it, which I would rather weren’t,’ she continued. ‘There’s a certain comment about Martine McCutcheon’s physicality which Richard himself would say, he’d wished that wasn’t in there.
‘It was something that he felt was humorous at the time, but now realizes it’s not appropriate. I think that is obviously the case.
‘But where it does hold up is that the emotion in it is completely authentic. As it says, love is all around, it’s not always seen. All the characters, they’re wonderful actors.
‘Nothing is sent up, it’s not cynical in any way. It’s joyous and celebratory. I think that’s why it holds up, because it was done with a complete lack of cynicism, which is Richard.
‘Richard is completely without cynicism.’

It's been just 18 years since Love Actually graced our screens to become a festive favourite for many people.
Every year people get cosy under the blanket and enjoy a glass of mulled wine to see famous stars Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley make us laugh or cry.
However, where is the cast of the 2003 movie which brings us warmth, joy and laughter every year now?

At BuckinghamshireLive we have looked into what the cast are getting up to now.
From tragic death, CBE's and more, the last 18 years has seen ups and downs for a few of the famous icons.
Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley was just 18-years-old when she starred in Love Actually.
Despite being only in her late teenage years, she had already casted massive shock waves in the film industry with her iconic roles in Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The British star's character, Juliet, in Love Actually found herself caught between her newly wedded love with Peter and his best friend Mark.
Her scene with Mark and the cue cards is one of the most iconic moments of the 2003 movie.
Since then Keira Knightley has only excelled more in the film industry, with her appearances in leading roles of Pride and Prejudice, the Duchess, Atonement, and the Official Secrets.
Martine McCutcheon
Now 45-years-old, Martine McCutcheon, had already made a grand appearance on British television screens and won the hearts of the public as Tiffany Mitchell in EastEnders.
Yet, her character met a tragic ending after producers decided to kill of her character by being hit by a car in 1998.
In Love Actually, she played Hugh's love interest, Natalie. The pair in the movie fell in love after Natalie made a grand entrance in her new job working for Hugh's character, the Prime Minister, spluttering accidental swear words and ultimately embarrassing herself.
But this allowed Martine to go onto have a successful career in music with a number one album and five top singles.
However, the star has had a difficult time and has lived with serious health conditions for a number of years.
She has been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ME and Lyme's disease.
The severity of her illness even meant at one point she needed to use a wheelchair after becoming so weak from collapsing more than 20 times, reported our sister title MyLondon.
Liam Neeson
Since Love Actually, Liam Neeson has starred in numerous roles compared to his fellow colleagues.
Of course, his most notorious role is his role as Bryan Mills, a retired CIA agent, who travels all the way across Europe to hunt down his estranged daughter who was kidnapped in Taken.
Liam tragically lost his wife Natasha Richardson in a freak skiing accident, in 2009. She was only 45-years-old at the time of her death.
From the Dark Knight Trilogy, Narnia and Star Wars, the 69-year-old is still working within film.
People can be rest assured to see him in many more films including playing a role of someone who is a professional assassin who gets on the wrong side of a criminal organisation in The Marksman.
Andrew Lincoln
Now, Andrew's role in Love Actually saw the movie unravel to reveal his secret obsession with his best friends newly wedded wife Juliet.
Armed with a boom box, and cue cards audiences saw him confess his love to Keira Knightley's character in the movies iconic duo scene.
Since then, his played a character that has woken up from a coma to find the world in ruins and plagued by zombies.
He held the role of Sheriff Rick Grimes, lead character of the Walking Dead until 2018, in which audiences saw him slay zombies.
However, fans will be able to see him pick up his sheriff hat as he picks up his role again in the planned trilogy of the Walking Dead.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Chiwetel only played a small part in the movie compared to Keira Knightley, but following the movie he has taken up roles in 12 Years A Slave, The Lion King and Dr Strange.
The London actor has been busy and viewers can expect much more from the 44-year-old actor.
In the coming years, viewers are set to see him in The Pod Generation, The Old Guard 2 and Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In 2008, he was awarded an CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), by the Duke of Cambridge.
Emma Thompson
This iconic British star, Dame Emma Thompson DBE , is idolised by many for her amazing acting. Everyone's hearts were broken seeing Emma's character, Karen, in the bedroom crying after discovering her husbands affair.
Fans were moved so much by the scene at her acting. However, it seems the star was going through a similar heartbreak herself with her first husband Sir Kenneth Branagh.
The Mirror reported, that Sir Kenneth Branagh allegedly had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter.
More recently she starred as Baroness in Cruella alongside Emma Stone.
However, her fans will be able to look forward to highly anticipated remake Matilda.
Alan Rickman
Beloved and warmly admired British star Alan Rickman had already made noise in the acting scene before appearing in Love Actually.
Unfortunately, he played the role of Harry who has an emotional and physical affair - breaking his hearts wife in Love Actually, Karen, aka Emma Thompson.
He played the villain Hans Gruber in another festive classic, Die Hard with Bruce Willis.
But, perhaps his most famous role was that of Severus Snape. Alan Rickman portrayed the professor in all the Harry Potter movies.
However, Alan sadly died in January 2016 at the age of 69 to pancreatic cancer. He passed away while surrounded by his loving family in London.
His fans cherished his role as Absolem in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Hugh Grant
A British rom-com just would not be complete without Hugh Grant.
Hugh took up the role as British Prime Minister David, and people saw the best dad dancing down 10 Downing's Halls ever.
He is entertaining on screen as well as real life and had already played in popular comedy hit Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Since 2002 he has picked up the mantle of countless movies such as Paddington 2, The Man from U.N.C.LE. and The Gentleman.
His been awarded a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Award.
The 61-year-old will be appearing in Dungeons and Dragons, a different role than his usual gig.
Joanna Page
Appearing as Judy in the festive classic, she was seen in the buff on top of co-star Martin Freeman.
It became a career defining moment as four years later she came to Britain's screens in the hit comedy show Gavin and Stacey.
She played alongside Co-star James Cordon as Stacey Shipman. The TV series success ran between 2007 and 2010.
It also made a grand return in 2019 after more than a decade disappearing from our TV screens.
However, the actress has given up the acting gig as she now ventures into the world of TV presenting. Fans are now able to see her host the ITV's The Pet Show.
The 44-year-old actress is also expecting her fourth child with husband James Thornton.

'Bridget Jones's Diary' should be the holiday classic that 'Love Actually' is.
|
The Mary Sue

|
I’ll be honest: I hate Richard Curtis’ 2003 blockbuster romantic comedy Love Actually. From its over-reliance on fat jokes to its one-dimensional women characters (except for the glorious Emma Thompson, who couldn’t turn in a bad performance if her life depended on it), the movie just plain does not work for me. As Lindy West wrote in her epic Love Actually takedown “I Rewatched Love Actually and Am Here to Ruin It for All of You” on Jezebel, the film is “the apex of cynically vacant faux-motional cash-grab garbage cinema.”
Recommended Videos
And yet every year, here we are with endless reruns and revisits of this 2003 Christmas ensemble. Ironically, Richard Curtis also co-wrote one of my favorite British Christmas classics: Bridget Jones’s Diary. Based on Helen Fielding’s smash hit 1996 novel, BJD is a modern take on Jane Austen’s iconic Pride and Prejudice. And it’s got everything you want out of a cozy Christmas classic: wintry London scenery, hideous Christmas sweaters, and Colin Firth channeling his BBC Pride and Prejudice Mr. Darcy to great effect.
So what makes BJD such a great watch? For starters, it’s anchored by a terrific performance from Renée Zellweger that is filled with humor, cringe, and plenty of heart. Bridget is an endlessly relatable character, an everywoman who struggles with flaws but remains a loving and loyal friend and family member. And while much is made of her weight (Zellweger gained 20 lbs for the role), most of it comes from Bridget’s inner narration and insecurity. Despite being curvy, she still pulls gorgeous men like Hugh Grant’s Daniel Cleaver and Firth’s Mark Darcy. Like so many women, Bridget is endlessly judging herself.
And let’s go back to Hugh Grant for a moment. Before his caddish turn as Daniel, Grant was the epitome of an English soft boy. A rom-com staple thanks to films like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill (both Richard Curtis films), Grant’s bumbling romantic schtick was his stock-in-trade. BJD changed this by casting him against type. It turned out that Grant was so good at playing bad, that he would return to these kinds of characters throughout his career.
Bridget Jones’s Diary also succeeds because it employs something most modern rom-coms lack: actual chemistry between its stars. Zellweger has terrific romantic chemistry with both Grant and Firth, and the film capitalizes on the simmering tension between its characters.
And did I mention it’s funny? Director Sharon Maguire capitalizes on the novel’s raucous sense of humor, landing solid jokes that never punch down. From Bridget’s foibles at work to her hilarious friend group, the comedy is never lacking. The comedy works hand in hand with the film’s emotional beats, delightfully grounding them. One of my favorite scenes is Bridget’s dinner party, where she serves a series of terrible dishes. The cast is clearly having fun with the scene, and it’s warm and hilarious.
And that’s really the vibe of Bridget Jones’s Diary: warm, silly, and wonderfully romantic. So instead of watching Love Actually yet again, give this great film a watch. But maybe skip the sequels.

LOVE ACTUALLY - Q&A with Colin Firth
Movie Interview by Martyn Palmer
In the weeks leading up to the start of filming on LOVE ACTUALLY, Colin Firth was having panic attacks and sleepless nights. Not, you understand that the undeniably talented and extremely experienced Colin was over concerned about his role, in this case playing a heartbroken writer, Jamie, who seeks refuge in the south of France. No, that bit was fine. Nor indeed, was he troubled about the quality of the script, which was, he says, "just fantastic." No, he was actually worried on behalf of Richard Curtis, the man who had written LOVE ACTUALLY, and for the first time, would be directing it, too.
"I was first on the schedule and just before we started I had panic attacks and actually woke up in the middle of the night thinking: How is he going to do this? How will he cope? He's got ten or fifteen stories, some very famous actors and he's going to jump in for the first time in his life and orchestrate all of that. It seemed to be an absolutely overwhelming task."
In fact, "Curtis did very well indeed," says Firth. "He was extremely upbeat, very cheerful and he expressed a lot of enjoyment in the process. And he's far too intelligent to pretend he knows things he doesn't which is something you do find with first time directors, quite understandably, when they feel the need to prove they have done their homework and yet it is very hard to have covered everything before you start."
"Richard, on the other hand, clearly had done a massive amount of homework and quite honestly, a lot of what is required for the job he already had done. He's a formidable storyteller. He has sat on film sets and watched his work unfold. It would be incredibly hard for anyone who has never made a film before to have any more experience than that."
Colin joined an all star British and American cast for LOVE ACTUALLY - Hugh Grant as a bachelor Prime Minister who falls for his Downing Street tea lady (Martine McCutcheon), Billy Bob Thornton as a hard-line American president with an eye for the ladies, Liam Neeson as a grief stricken father worried about how his young son is coping, Alan Rickman as a happily married man who is tempted by a young, beautiful colleague, Laura Linney, who is secretly in love with a handsome young man and at the same time, devoting much of her spare time to caring for her mentally disabled brother. And many more besides. The film tackles love in all it's glory and all it's heartbreakingly sad and funny guises.
Colin, 43, is one of Britain's best known actors. He starred alongside Renee Zellweger in the hit comedy BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY, playing Mark Darcy the man who rivals Hugh Grant for Bridget's affections, and is currently filming the sequel. His first big break came playing another D'Arcy - in the highly acclaimed BBC adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE which won him a BAFTA nomination. Colin's numerous other films include THE ENGLISH PATIENT, FEVER PITCH, CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, MY LIFE SO FAR and PLAYMAKER. He was recently seen in the comedy, WHAT A GIRL WANTS and will be on screen in the eagerly awaited GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING soon. Colin lives in London with his family. He is a talented writer and contributed to a collection of stories collated by the author Nick Hornby.
Have you seen any of LOVE ACTUALLY?
Yes. I think it works fantastically well. As far as I'm aware Richard as something like a 100 per cent strike rate with everything he has done and you just can't believe he has pulled it off again with such an ambitious project.
Although with LOVE ACTUALLY he had to step up a gear, directing for the first time?
Yes, he did. I was first in on the schedule - it started with three weeks of my stuff. And just before we left for France I had a panic attack on his behalf and woke up in the middle of the night. I actually thought, 'how is he going to do this? How will he cope?' He's got ten or fifteen stories, some very famous actors and he is going to jump in for the first time in his life and orchestrate all of that. It seemed to be an absolutely overwhelming task and the read through seemed like a premiere or a night at the Groucho Club or something - limos, I was expecting bodyguards with earpieces (laughs). He could have taken any one of these stories and developed them into a feature film on their own. In fact, I'm led to believe that they were all stories that he had been toying with as full-length stories. And it's as if he has put them all into one and left himself with a clean slate.
When did you first hear about it?
There were rumours about it before it became definite. I remember by January (2002) hearing about this thing because there was a reading of the script which I had been invited to participate in but I wasn't able to be there. There was quite a buzz about the existence of this thing for a long time and you know a lot of talk about it, who may or may not be in it, and who may or may not play which part. I think there were quite a lot of musical chairs in casting as there often is. I knew they were umming and aahing about me and whether I was right for this or right for that. And I think it was 'well if Hugh is going to be the prime minister then perhaps I'm not right for the Prime Minister's brother-in-law or something. And it wasn't until the summer sometime that they offered it to me.
Did you talk it through with Richard at that point?
No, not very much I think it spoke for itself. I think quite often if you see something that needs a bit of work then you go into a period of debate. I just felt that it's very hard to question Richard really, when he has got it right so often. You can't really bet against him.
Why does he get it right so often?
I think he has done something which is very hard to do in film and would have been deemed impossible had he not proved otherwise, which is to write about middle class people.
As the title suggests it's a story about love, and the English are often a little wary of that emotion too...
Yes. The story reflects different kinds of love. The dark side of it is addressed, it's not really a film about the real guts of dysfunctional love and torture, it's not that sort of story. It's an
optimistic film aimed around Christmas time and it has that sort of leaning but it doesn't ignore the fact that love is painful. There is a scene between Liam Neeson and his little boy where the child has been locking himself in his room and behaving strangely and Liam's character is afraid that the boy is sick or on drugs or something. And it turns out that the boy says "no; I'm in love..." And the father says "I thought it was something much worse than that." And the boy says "worse? What could be worse than the total misery and agony of being in love?" And you can't really argue with that actually.
Talk me through your character. He starts in a bad place...
He is a man who is rejected. That happens at the beginning of the film. He is rejected by his lover and he has retreated to the south of France. He's gone away and my story feels a bit to one side as a result of that and in fact I had strong suspicions that if they needed to cut anything mine would be the first to go (laughs). So I'm in a cottage in France writing my novel and licking my wounds and the cleaning lady who is Portuguese and speaks no English is my love interest. A friendship develops and the comedy and pathos of the relationship exists in the misunderstanding. Basically you the audience get to understand what I say obviously, but she doesn't. You get the subtitles of what she says but obviously I don't understand what she says. You understand everything but we don't understand each other. And actually it's a simple love story within that convention.
Your segment in France was the first to be filmed. What was Richard like at that stage?
On a personal level he was extremely up beat, very cheerful and he expressed enjoyment at the process and he is far too intelligent to pretend he knows things he doesn't which is something you do find with directors, quite understandably when they are beginning. They need to prove they have done their homework and yet it is very hard to have covered everything before you start.
And it's hard to admit that you haven't...
Well quite. And you can probably do a multitude of films and there is still a whole bunch of stuff you haven't grasped. I mean, you can say that from an acting point of view, it's the same thing - and I've done twenty or so. Richard, on the other hand, was very, very on top of it. I mean he had clearly done a massive, massive amount of homework. And quite honestly a lot of what is required for the job he had down already. He was already a formidable storyteller. He has sat on film sets and watched his work unfold and be adapted into another medium and I had worked with Richard briefly. I had done a day on a BLACKADDER film and he was sat next to the camera and incredibly hands on in terms of changing bits of dialogue cutting bits, adding bits, and it would be very hard for anyone who has never made a film before to have any more experience than that.
I watched him on set and he is very relaxed and handles people extremely well...
Yes, he does I think that there was an awful lot he had going for him. He is a very, very diplomatic man, he has a lot of qualities which help him just deal with people. He's had a lot of leadership experience. For some people the stresses of the job are terrible and however much you are all mates, the director just can't smile anymore after a couple of weeks because there is too much pressure. And I never saw him get to that point. He was always buoyant, quick witted, approachable. Just like he always is.
It's billed as a romantic comedy. But in a way there is more to LOVE ACTUALLY than that. Would you agree?
Yes I would. I think it's a strange mixture this one. Because I think a feel good movie implies escape, fairy tale implies escape. This one I think takes a look at the kind of lives a lot of us lead. I mean these are people who look like us, dress like us, have jobs like ours. And you know that's probably not every walk of society, he is looking at urban middle class people. I mean he hasn't crossed a lot of class barriers or regional barriers here, but they are recognisable people and, I don't know, it's as if he has sprinkled magic dust over it all or something. Just to give it all a lift and give an optimistic take on some of the more stressful and distressing aspects of our lives. He is not solving the problems of the entire world but the kind of general love difficulties, which a lot of people have, the kind of the things in real life we lose our sense of humour about. This film rekindles the humour and it can kind of help to lighten one's view of those problems. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Colin Firth is best known for his roles in "Mamma Mia" (2008) and "Bridget Jones's Diary" (2001).
His lowest-rated movies include "The Accidental Husband" (2008) and "Main Street" (2010).
His most critically acclaimed films are "Conspiracy" (2001) and "The King's Speech" (2010).

The actor played Richard in "The Accidental Husband" (2008).
Rotten Tomatoes score: 6%
Summary: Radio host Emma Lloyd (Uma Thurman) finds herself at the center of a scheme when a broken-hearted firefighter (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) intercepts her engagement with her fiancé (Firth).
Film reviewers didn't hold back when it came to calling the film clichéd and unhinged.
"Sub-lousy hackneyed crapola all the way, a complete disaster, one of the year's worst movies," film critic David Cornelius wrote for DVD Talk.

He was Gus Leroy in "Main Street" (2010).
Rotten Tomatoes score: 13%
Summary: Gus Leroy (Firth) moves to Durham, North Carolina, with a wild business proposal to save the city's dying tobacco business.
Critics remarked that the drama was filled with uneven acting and disjointed direction.
"There's something interesting here at the core of the conflict, but the story is offered so little room to breathe, coming across rushed and undercooked," wrote film critic Brian Orndorf.

In "St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold" (2009), he played Geoffrey Thwaites.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 14%
Summary: In the sequel, after discovering that headmistress Camilla Fritton (Rupert Everett) is descended from a legendary pirate, the unconventional boarding school students go on a misguided treasure hunt.
Firth returned to the franchise to play Geoffrey Thwaites, Camilla's old flame.
The sequel was written off by critics who found it disastrously unfunny.
"A film that flails about wildly in search of at least one half-decent joke," wrote Neil Smith for Total Film. "Tragically, the closest it gets is having a dog hump Colin Firth's leg."

Firth was Aurelius in "The Last Legion" (2007).
Rotten Tomatoes score: 15%

Reviewers didn't enjoy the harried action drama, but some said it might be fitting for younger audiences.

The film itself did little to impress most reviewers, but Firth's performance as Lord Henry Wotton, shined through.

According to critics, "Genius" was an ambitious tale that dipped its toe too often into familiar territory.
"A bit of a retread of drunk writer self-destructs tropes, but if you can't resist yet another trip down memory lane with your favorite writers…then 'Genius' will give you another chance," wrote Asia Frey for Lagniappe.

Some critics admired the sincerity and good intentions at the heart of the romantic comedy, based on the novel by Nick Hornby. But others felt like it fell short.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 67%
Summary: After being taken in by her strict Uncle Archibald (Firth), an orphan named Mary (Dixie Egerickx) bonds with new friends over a magical hidden garden.
The 2020 adaptation was the latest in a long line of attempts to take on Frances Hodgson Burnett's source material, and most regarded it as a worthy entry.
"Any version of 'The Secret Garden' is better than none and while this latest iteration is lacking in grief and gothic, it's a pleasing old-fashioned family film bolstered by lovely performances," Tara Brady wrote for The Irish Times.

In "The Railway Man" (2013), he was Eric Lomax.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 67%
Summary: Based on a true story, "The Railway Man" centers on retired British officer and former prisoner of war Eric Lomax (Firth), who discovers that the man responsible for his torture is still alive.

Many critics said that the drama would've benefited from some tighter direction, but most concluded there was much to admire in the adaptation.

Summary: Based on a true story, the drama centers on Donald Crowhurst (Firth) and his audacious attempt to compete in a global yacht race — as well as the cover-up that followed when he failed.

Love Actually turned 19 this year, so while I appreciate this review is a little tardy, I was curious to see if it had aged better than I have.

The Christmas rom-com is as popular as ever – even two decades after its release.
Christmas isn’t Christmas without brussels sprouts, family arguments and Love Actually on the box.
It might be a full two decades since the much-loved festive rom-com was released, but Richard Curtis’s all-star movie is as popular today as it was when it first hit cinemas.
But if you thought you knew everything there was to know about the film after watching it for the 65th time, think again...
1. There were only four years between these two stars. FOUR YEARS!
Advertisement
There’s only a four-year age gap between Keira Knightley, who played newly-wed Juliet and Thomas Brodie-Sangster who played lovestruck teenager Sam.
Keira was 17 during filming while Sam was only 13. Mind. Blown.
2. There was a good reason Keira Knightley wore that big hat
“I had a massive spot in the middle of my forehead,” she told BBC Radio 1. “It was humongous, so there was no choice but to find a hat to cover it — because there was no lighting or makeup that was going to cover it.”
3. The film’s creator and director Richard Curtis admitted there is one scene he would change if he could
“I think the naked people should be wearing more clothes,” he told NME.
In case you need your mind jogging, Richard is referring to the scene in which Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page’s character Judy is seen naked as her co-star Martin Freeman, as John, cups her breasts
4. Martin Freeman had an unusual way of hiding his blushes
The actor might appear naked in that scene with Joanna, but he was actually wearing a cock-sock. And yes, that is an official term.
5. There is one scene that gets cut the most from TV broadcasts
Yep, the love story of John and Judy as a pair of stand-ins on an erotic drama mimicking sex acts usually ends up getting the chop.
Advertisement
6. Richard Curtis cast members of his own family whenever he could
His daughter and wife Emma Freud appear as the second lobster in the Nativity, the wise man with the Spider-Man face paint is the couple’s son and the housekeeper at Downing Street is played by Emma’s mother.
7. Olivia Olsen – who sang All I Want For Christmas Is You – turned down multiple record deal offers after the film was released
“I could have been some child star and had a total breakdown by the age I am now,” she said. “I might have been a has-been by now instead of still trying to build up my career.” Olivia was last seen on Celebrity X Factor but was the first star to be voted off.
8. Richard Curtis wrote to Laura Linney to ask her to star
Advertisement
...but there’s a bit more to this story. The actor revealed: “I got a letter in the mail from Richard Curtis saying that he’d been trying to cast this part, and he’d kept saying to his partner, Emma Freud, that he’d been looking for a ‘Laura Linney-type,’ and she said, ‘Why don’t you ask Laura Linney?’”
9. Hugh Grant HATED filming *that* dance scene
You might love that scene in which the PM can be scene strutting his stuff around No.10 to the Pointer Sisters’ Jump (For My Love), but the British actor described filming the scene as “absolute hell”.
10. Hugh didn’t actually rehearse his famous dance scene as he was so anxious about filming it
He explains: “There was this dance written and I thought, ‘That’s going to be excruciating’ and it has the power to be the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid. I certainly dreaded filming it and Richard kept saying, ‘Don’t you think we’d better rehearse the dancing scene’ and I’d say, ‘Uh yes I’ve just gotta learn some lines…my ankle hurts today’. So it was never rehearsed.”

11. Think that card scene starring Andrew Lincoln looks familiar?
You’d be right…
12. Andrew Lincoln went all method when it came to those signs
“It is my handwriting!” the actor told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s funny, because the art department did it, and then I said, ‘Well, can I do it?’ because I like to think that my handwriting is really good
“Actually, it ended up with me having to sort of trace over the art department’s, so it is my handwriting, but with a sort of pencil stencil underneath.”
13. Some film fans have since called out the card scene as being problematic
But Martine McCutcheon who played Downing Street staff member Natalie, has defended the film’s divisive scene.
Advertisement
“I think people do crazy things when they are in love with people,” she said.
“He had his moment where he thought ‘enough now, I’ve told her how I feel, I love my friend too but I had to get it off my chest in the right way’. She’d already seen the video, and I think it was his way of making things explained and comfortable.”
14. Emma Thompson almost cried her eyes out for the film’s most heartbreaking scene
Twelve times in fact. “We just let it happen, and Emma walked into the room 12 times in a row and sobbed. It was an amazing feat of acting,” Richard Curtis told The Daily Beast.
15. Emma drew on her own real-life heartache for the scene
After her now ex-husband Kenneth Branagh allegedly had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter, Emma said: “I had my heart very badly broken by Ken, so I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn’t meant for me. Well it wasn’t exactly that, but we’ve all been through it.”
16. Emma actually wore a ‘fat suit’ for the duration of the movie
Advertisement
She was slimmer than the character Richard Curtis had envisioned.
17. Bill Nighy’s favourite line is one of his own
Bill plays rocker Billy Mack, who at one point utters this piece of advice: “Hi kids! Don’t buy drugs – become a rock star and they give you them for free.”
18. Bill followed in the footsteps of The Beatles (kinda)
He recorded Christmas Is All Around at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London, made famous by the legendary British band.
19. That definitely isn’t the real 10 Downing Street
Advertisement
Richard Curtis and his production designer Jim Clay were only permitted into the PM’s residence whilst heavily supervised and so had to recreate those (very convincing) interiors from memory at Shepperton Studios.
20. There was a ‘kissing consultant’ on set
Richard Curtis’ wife Emma Freud choreographed *that* kiss between Colin Firth and Lúcia Moniz, who plays Portuguese waitress Aurelia. “I was the kissing consultant,” Emma revealed, before adding: “And that is a real job.”
21. Oh and the lake that Colin and Lúcia swam in isn’t quite as it seems
It was only 18 inches deep. So the two actors were actually kneeling in that scene, rather than swimming.
22. The production team spent 45 minutes deciding what colour underwear Aurelia would wear for the lake scene.
They opted for pale blue, but you probably already knew that.
23. Eurovision superfans might recognise Lucia from somewhere else
Before starring in the film, Lúcia represented Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996 and has released four albums to date.
24. Martine McCutcheon’s character Natalie was originally called Martine
It was changed as the filmmakers didn’t want the EastEnders star to know the part was written especially for her (yes, it really was).
Advertisement
25. Unsurprisingly, Hugh Grant wasn’t a fan of Boris Johnson’s use of the film’s famous card scene
The PM recreated one of the film’s most iconic scenes in an effort to win votes at the 2019 general election.
Afterwards Hugh told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I did notice that one of the cards from the original film that he didn’t hold up was the one where Andrew Lincoln held up a card saying ’Because at Christmas, you tell the truth. I just wonder if the spin doctors in the Tory party thought that was a card that wouldn’t look too great in Boris Johnson’s hands.” Burrrrrrrn.
26. But Boris Johnson hasn’t even seen the film
“I’ve not seen all of it from beginning to end because I’m so busy,” Boris said. “But I’m familiar with the basic concept and the fantastic work done by Hugh Grant.” Do you want to tell Hugh, or shall we?
27. Claudia Schiffer did very nicely out of her cameo appearance
Advertisement
The former supermodel was reportedly paid £200K for her blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene. She’s on screen for a whole minute.
28. Because of the size of the cast, the actors had their own trailer park village during production
“We didn’t all film together, but we had a big trailer park for all the cast,” Bill Nighy told The Guardian. “There were so many famous people in there, we used to talk about being on Liam Neeson Way or Emma Thompson Road or Hugh Grant Avenue. And it was a masterpiece of diplomacy, too; we all had the same size and type of trailer.”
29. All of those passengers greeting loved ones at Heathrow Airport’s are real people
They were filmed on hidden cameras and everyone featured had to sign a waiver agreeing to be included in the festive film.
30. The movie has been remade – or rather the central storyline has been interpreted – three times
Advertisement
There is an unofficial Indian offering titled A Tribute To Love, a Polish take called Letter To St. Nicolas and a Japanese version, It All Began When I Met You, which borrows the concept as well as the film’s poster layout (above).
31. There was a sale after filming wrapped
32. Martine McCutcheon feared killing on-screen love interest Hugh Grant on her first day of filming
Martine explains: “I was really nervous because I had to run and jump on Hugh, that was my first scene, and I was thinking ‘Oh my God, I’m going to kill him!’
Advertisement
“He was like ‘Come on, go for it’, and I was so nervous because I had never had to jump on anybody in a scene in my life and now as I do it, it’s with the heartthrob that is Hugh Grant, in front of everybody, in front of all these amazing actors, and what if I knock him out? What if I do something wrong?”
33. The word ‘actually’ is actually said quite a lot in the film (actually)
23 times in total, in fact. 22 by the characters, and once in the opening monologue.

Rye Lane spoilers follow.
Vivian Oparah and David Jonsson have spoken about Colin Firth's uncredited cameo in their new movie Rye Lane.
The pair play singletons Yas and Dom, who spend a whole day in each other's company following a rather unorthodox meet-cute. Throughout this rom-com, they discuss crushing break-ups while stumbling across many strange and wonderful characters, including Love Actually legend Firth's Mexican food stall worker.
As if that wasn't magical enough, the stall in question is called 'Love Guac'tually', too.

"It was just insane," Oparah told RadioTimes of the Oscar-winner's day on set.
"I was just like: 'Woah', but also I was like: 'Damn that was such an amazing baton pass – to have someone who's in the quintessential British rom-coms just being like, yeah, I want to support this movie, just for the sake of supporting it'."
Her co-star Jonsson, who Industry fans will recognise as Gus Sackey, was equally as blown away by the experience.
"Oh man – yeah, I definitely died," he said. "I just thought it was, you know, he's absolutely incredible. And he was so humble, so kind and giving and it was like, just a dream. And he gave us the best bits of advice for our career – like a real career – and hopefully we use them!"

As for the ingenious 'Love Guac'tually' name, Rye Lane director Raine Allen-Miller revealed that her partner was behind it.
"I decided I really want to do this thing where we have a shop that's called like, About a Burrito or something. I said it to my partner, and I was like, it has to have somebody like You Know Who in there.
"And my partner just suddenly came out and went: 'What about Love Guac'tually?' And I was like: 'Oh my God.' And it was like the best thing ever."

December 2003. Twenty years ago. It was a special time for moviegoers. That’s because it was the first holiday season in which “Love Actually” could actually be part of one’s Christmas time festivities. (Richard Curtis‘ ensemble romantic comedy was still playing to healthy crowds in cinemas.)
While the film would not figure into that year’s Academy Awards race, the cast did feature a handful of past Oscar contenders — and a few winners. Sho which “Love Actually” cast member will be next to earn an Oscar nomination?
The most noticeable of those winners was Emma Thompson, 1992’s Best Actress for “Howards End.” She tried (unsuccessfully) for acting awards three more times, including for 1995’s “Sense and Sensibility.” For penning that script, she accepted the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for superbly adapting the classic novel by Jane Austen.
The other “Love Actually” cast member with an Oscar in their possession was Billy Bob Thornton, who had what was effectively a cameo role in the movie. Thornton had accepted the Best Adapted Screenplay award for 1996’s “Sling Blade.” He also competed for Best Actor for that film, and later for Best Supporting Actor for 1998’s “A Simple Plan.”
Two other “Love Actually” actors had Oscar nominations on their resumes. Liam Neeson had been cited for Best Actor for 1993’s Best Picture “Schindler’s List.” And Laura Linney had made the Best Actress shortlist for 2000’s “You Can Count on Me.” Linney would receive a Best Supporting Actress nom for playing Neeson’s wife in 2004’s “Kinsey.” And she had another shot at Best Actress for 2007’s “The Savages.”
In the years since the release of “Love Actually,” several more of its stars have gone on to compete for Academy Awards.
Keira Knightley was a proud Best Actress nominee for 2005’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Almost a decade later, she was back in the game going for Best Supporting Actress for 2014’s “The Imitation Game.”
Colin Firth brought 2009’s “A Single Man” a single nomination — for Best Actor. He then ruled the derby the following year for “The King’s Speech,” delivering Best Actor acceptance speeches at virtually every awards show (including the Oscars). Colin really did become “King.”
Chiwetel Ejiofor became the next talent from the “Love Actually” roster to receive an Academy Awards invite, for his starring role in 2013’s Best Picture “12 Years a Slave.”
And just last year, Bill Nighy became the latest “Love” legend to be singled out for Oscar recognition — as a Best Actor nominee for “Living.” Interestingly enough, Nighy’s BAFTA-winning performance might have made him the “Love Actually” thespian who actually came closest to getting an Oscar nom. (Let’s face it, he would have been a much cooler choice than Alec Baldwin in “The Cooler.”)
But let’s hope that Nighy won’t be the last “Love Actually” alumnus to advance to Oscar-nominated status. And assuming that he isn’t, who will be next?
If we’re thinking in terms of someone overdue, then Hugh Grant would logically make the most sense. He was overlooked for his roles in Best Picture contenders like 1994’s “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and 1995’s “Sense and Sensibility.” He appeared to be close to getting in for 2016’s “Florence Foster Jenkins,” but likely just missed.
Of course, it could be someone like Andrew Lincoln or Martin Freeman.
Or heck, it might end up being Thomas Brodie-Sangster. After all, his screen dad was the Oscar-nominated Neeson. (Like father, like son – right?)
Oscars or not, “Love Actually” deserves lots of love. Happy 20th anniversary.

This essay on the much-debated problems with Love, Actually and how to fix them was originally a Christmas piece. It’s been updated and reposted for the movie’s 20th anniversary re-release.
Richard Curtis’ Christmas classic Love Actually just turned 20, which means both that it’s getting a 4K Ultra HD re-release (available Nov. 21) and that we’ve now had 20 full years of discussion about how the movie is incredibly problematic. The thinkpieces and listicles about what’s wrong with it have already been done to death. Turns out, a lot of plot elements in this romantic comedy just don’t hold up decades years later.
Still — I love it. I love romantic comedies, because I’m a sucker for a good love story and a happy ending. I love anthology stories, because I love seeing webs of characters interact and affect each other’s lives. And I love this movie’s rosy-glasses view of London at Christmastime, because I grew up reading a lot of English children’s books set in similar circumstances, and for some reason, nothing sounded lovelier than shopping at Harrods on Christmas. And in spite of all Love Actually’s widely critiqued problems, I love it in the same way I love one of Curtis’ other famous rom-coms, Four Weddings and a Funeral. It’s that particular kind of love that comes from knowing how to fix a movie’s issues.
Honestly, a lot of it comes down to some simple fixes. Some of the movie’s plotlines hold up much better than others, and they wouldn’t need anything more than a cast update. Others would need a little more tampering. The main problem with Love Actually can be boiled down to the fact that very few of the plotlines are actually about love. Love Actually could be called Sex Actually — or, at its worst points, Uncomfortable Workplace Dynamics Actually. Hugh Grant’s opening voiceover implies that the stories ahead encompass all forms of love — sexual, romantic, familial, platonic, and more — but so many of them focus on physical attraction, and physical attraction only.
I’m here to fix that. I’m here to break down Love Actually and patch it back up, with some casting updates to make it more relevant. I’m here to focus on that much-promised love, which actually isn’t particularly present in the movie we got. The bones of Love Actually have so much potential. They just need to be broken apart and allowed to heal properly. This imaginary reboot would actually extol different kinds of love across the holiday season.
Ranked in order from what needs the least fixing to what needs the most work, here’s what Love Actually needs for a heartwarming (and way less squicky) reboot.
The Sex Stand-in Plotline
The Original Plot: John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) meet while working as body stand-ins — effectively stunt doubles for the sex scenes in some unnamed film. While they’re totally fine being naked together and pretending to boink on camera, they’re super shy off the set.
The Fix: Actually, nothing about this one needs to change. The most sex-based plotline is actually the least sexual, which makes for a fun irony.
Ideal Recasting: Nicholas Hoult as John and Jenna Coleman as Judy. These two characters need to exude politeness and awkwardness as well as physical chemistry, and I think these two can pull that off.
Little Kid and Sad Dad
The Original Plot: Single father Daniel (Liam Neeson) grieves his wife’s recent death and bonds with his preteen stepson Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster). Sam wants to impress a pretty American girl in middle school (Olivia Olson) by playing drums at the Christmas pageant. But when the pageant ends and she heads to the airport, Sam feels like he’s missed his chance to confess his crush after the concert — so Daniel drives him to the airport, and Sam causes a scene as he bypasses security to confess his crush. It’s cute, it’s innocent, and it doesn’t need an update, except for casting. Oh, also there’s a tiny, tiny extra plot point where Daniel meets Carol (Claudia Schiffer), the mom of one of Sam’s classmates, and feels a spark.
The Fix: Two wee changes — one, the girl at school shouldn’t have the same name as Sam’s mom, because that’s just weird. Two, the two kids should at least know each other, instead of him having a one-sided infatuation with her. Also, if he’s playing in the band as she sings, wouldn’t they know each other already? That’s just a logistical oversight.
But other than that, nothing really needs to change in the writing. It’s a story about a father connecting with his son, and about the importance of telling people how you feel about them before it’s too late.
Ideal Recasting: Idris Elba as Daniel — Elba gives off the same gruff energy as Neeson, with the same sense of a big heart under that action-star exterior. Also, I thought it might be good to emphasize that Daniel is not Sam’s biological father, since I definitely missed that bit the first time I watched Love Actually. Kate Moss could play Carol — the whole gimmick of the original casting was that Daniel was like, “I’d only date Claudia Schiffer,” and Moss seems like a good modern update for her (especially since there was a Kate Moss reference in the original). The Baby-sitters Club’s Momona Tamada as Joanna, the very cool American girl. And since Thomas Brodie-Sangster eternally looks 12, he can play Sam again. Okay, just kidding! Let’s go with Jojo Rabbit’s Roman Griffin Davis.
The Joni Mitchell CD
The Original Plot: Middle-aged father Harry (Alan Rickman) is married to Karen (Emma Thompson) — but he’s intrigued by his flirtatious new secretary, Mia (Heike Makatasch). Eventually, he buys Mia a very expensive necklace (packed up by an eccentric salesman played by Rowan Atkinson). Karen finds the necklace and thinks it’s for her — but when he gives her a Joni Mitchell CD for Christmas, she realizes he bought the necklace for someone else! Cue the incredibly heartbreaking sequence where Karen tries to compose herself before heading out for the Christmas pageant, as Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” plays.
The Fix: As heartbreaking as this one is, I think we should keep it! No notes. This one is meant to be devastating, and should stay that way.
Ideal Recasting: Benedict Cumberbatch as Harry, because he gives off “Guy who would totally cheat on his wife given the right set of circumstances” vibes. Kate Winslet as Karen, since I am a big fan of Ang Lee’s Sense and Sensibility, and Winslet played Thompson’s younger sister in that one. Natalie Dormer as Mia, because if anyone can woo a married man with just a well-placed smirk, it’s her. And Rowan Atkinson can reprise his role, and maybe make a cheeky comment about how this happens all the time.
Washed-up Pop Star and Manager
The Original Plot: Rock legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a new Christmas song. He thinks it sucks, and he’s very open about that when he promotes it — which eventually turns it into a number-one single. Meanwhile, his longtime manager Joe (Gregor Fisher) tries to do damage control. On Christmas, instead of celebrating with Elton John, Billy decides to hang out with Joe.
The Fix: Y’know, this one is mostly fine too. Just for flavor, though, I’m turning the rock legend into a pop diva with no filter.
Ideal Recasting: Helena Bonham Carter as Billie Mack — she’s edgy, and she’d make a convincing and electric Madonna/Cher-esque pop star who has run out of fucks to give. The Favourite’s Olivia Colman as her long-suffering manager Jo.
The Keira Knightley sign plotline
The Original Plot: Dejected Mark (Andrew Lincoln) is moody after his best friend Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) marries the beautiful Juliet (Keira Knightley). Juliet learns that Mark has a crush on her when she watches his video of the wedding, and realizes it’s all closeups of her face. Later, he shows up at her house with a bunch of signs confessing his unrequited crush on her, which she finds charming for some reason!
The Fix: All right, now we’re getting into the bigger fixes. This subplot is the most maligned of all the Love Actually plotlines, and for good reason — Mark barely knows Juliet! It’s creepy that he has a copy of her wedding video that’s all closeups of her face! It’s weird that he’s dumping all of this on her when she’s just trying to enjoy her first Christmas as a married woman! But it’s also the easiest one to fix. Just make it gay!
Juliet and Peter get married, and Mark is upset. He gives Juliet the cold shoulder and repeatedly turns down plans with Peter. When Juliet watches his wedding video, she realizes that the footage isn’t of her — but of Peter! Yes, we’re fixing this one by giving Mark an unrequited crush on his best friend, who sadly isn’t romantically or sexually compatible with Mark. It turns the weird infatuation with Juliet, a woman Mark barely knows and clearly is only interested in because she’s pretty, into a more nuanced yearning for his closest friend.
And Juliet realizes this. When Mark shows up at the door for Peter and Juliet’s first Christmas party as a couple, after blowing off all plans with Peter for weeks, Juliet gets Peter to talk to him alone, so the two men can have a heart-to-heart. Mark apologizes for his standoffish behavior, and while he doesn’t outright confess his crush, because he’s not gonna make things awkward for his best friend, Peter can still read between the lines, because they are best friends. He reminds Mark that he loves him as a friend no matter what, and they hug it out. It’s still a bit bittersweet, but definitely not as weird!
Ideal Recasting: Lily James as Juliet — she needs to be so beautiful and ethereal that it’s believable someone would fall in love with her at first sight. John Boyega as Peter, a good younger update of Chiwetel Eijofor. And Andrew Garfield as Mark, who isn’t as creepy and pathetic in this version, just more sad and yearning.
Sarah and Karl
The Original Plot: Shy Sarah (Laura Linney) has a big crush on her hot co-worker Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). As she’s finally getting the chance to hook up with him after the big holiday party, her mentally ill brother Michael calls and interrupts them. She answers the phone twice in a row, and Karl is all like, “Why are you putting your family before me? This isn’t gonna work.” (He doesn’t say that, but he does leave.) Ultimately, this thread is just really sad for no real reason, and once again, the romantic part is focused on physical attraction. The thread with her brother feels a little disjointed, too, because so much emphasis is placed on boinking Karl.
The Fix: Instead of hooking up, Sarah and Karl should really connect, and decide to leave the party to do some cute, silly activity together — get ice cream in the dead of winter? Happen upon some winter carnival taking place? Go see Santa? Something quirky and cute! Sarah is letting herself go and having fun for the first time in a while, and Karl seems relieved that someone is interested in him for his personality, not just because he’s a hottie.
Sarah gets the call from her brother and has to leave in the middle of whatever she and Karl are doing. She excuses herself, but instead of being a dick about it and telling her to not answer her phone again, Karl maybe just feels a bit awkward as he tries to navigate questions about what’s going on. Things can still be tense as Sarah closes up and brushes Karl off, and they part ways.
But because everyone in this plotline deserves better, Karl shows up at Sarah’s the next day with coffee, cocoa, or some portable version of whatever they were doing when Michael called. And he shares some story about his family — maybe he explains that he doesn’t get along with them because they’re controlling, which makes him particularly sensitive to Michael interrupting Sarah’s date. Or maybe he’s an only child who never had siblings and doesn’t understand Sarah’s feelings of responsibility around Michael. Or maybe he loves his family, but they’re really intrusive, and he’s learned to establish boundaries, but he worries that Sarah needs to too!
He opens up to her, because we love a man with a sensitive side, but he also listens, and comes to understand her. He eventually gets the whole situation with Michael, but he still wants to get to know Sarah, because she makes him smile. So they finish up their date — and during the Christmas scene, Sarah introduces Karl to her brother.
Ideal Recasting: Dev Patel as Karl and Dakota Johnson as Sarah. Karl needs to be gorgeous, so Dev Patel is a perfect choice. Sarah is one of two Americans in the entire cast, and Johnson really embodies the associated quirky, wholesome girl-next-door vibes.
Colin, God of Sex
The Original Plot: Bumbling Colin (Kris Marshall) isn’t having any luck with his English girls, so buys a ticket to Wisconsin, convinced he’s gonna be a total sex god in America because American chicks love Brits. His friend Tony (Abdul Salis) has his doubts, but just rolls his eyes. Sure enough, Colin wanders into a Milwaukee bar, and every woman in the vicinity throws herself at him. He ends the night in an orgy with some hot roommates.
The Fix: We’re going to actually dig into the different kinds of love that the original movie promises, but rarely commits to. The new Colin has similar ambitions to go to America to get laid. This time, Tony decides to join him, and they bet on the outcome, because Tony’s convinced that Colin will fail. And he’s right! Colin fumbles in the bar. All the girls roll their eyes at him. Tony doesn’t fare much better. Instead of attending an orgy, the two men share a drink and reminisce about their friendship. They agree it was a stupid idea to trek across the world for sex, but they’re glad they have each other.
Ideal Recasting: Asa Butterfield as Colin and Ncuti Gatwa as Tony. I just think it would be hilarious to have the Sex Education stars in these roles.
Jamie and Aurélia
The Original Plot: Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) retreats to his French cottage after catching his girlfriend sleeping with his brother. He meets housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), who does not speak English, but even so, they start having feelings for each other. They don’t act on them while Jamie is in residence, but after leaving France, he immediately returns and proposes to Aurélia in broken Portuguese.
The Fix: In this plotline, we’re going to eliminate the fact that Aurélia is Jamie’s housekeeper, and instead come up with some meet-cutes outside of that employer-employee relationship. I have two proposed alterations for this one, depending on how queer we want this adaptation to be.
The first is the more traditional: Jamie comes home to his girlfriend cheating on him with his brother. He heads to his usual vacation cottage in southern France, only to learn that the cottage next door is being rented out by a very large, loud family. They immediately try to adopt him as one of their own, bringing over food and inviting him to parties. He feels out of place, but bonds with one member of the family, Aurélia. The two of them hit it off, and an attraction grows between them. But neither of them can bring themselves to act on their feelings by the time Jamie leaves, especially since Aurélia’s charmingly overbearing family is constantly watching them.
Then, on Christmas, he sees his own family being all stiff and awkward (especially his cheating brother) and realizes he had a way more fun time with his neighbors in France. He decides to book a flight, and he spontaneously shows up at Aurélia’s family’s Christmas dinner, since they invited him before he left. Instead of asking her to marry him, since that’s a lot to put on someone he’s known for two weeks, he asks her on a date. The whole family cheers, since they were rooting for them the entire time. The two smooch, then tentatively begin a relationship.
In a second possible iteration: Jamie is a woman, and she comes home to find her boyfriend cheating on her with her sister. She’s particularly upset, because she and her boyfriend were supposed to go on vacation in southern France together. Instead, she invites her friend Aurélia. The two of them spend some time together, and wind up in increasingly romantic situations. Jamie has a long, hard think about her own sexuality, especially after Aurélia confesses that she had a bit of a crush on Jamie back in university. Neither of them say anything about this growing attraction until they leave. Then, when Jamie sees all her relatives together on Christmas Eve, she books it across London to Aurélia and confesses her love. The two smooch, then tentatively begin a relationship.
The heart of this storyline isn’t uneven workplace dynamics, language barriers, or spontaneous unlikely marriage proposals — it’s shyness and the inability to express feelings! Personally, I’m a fan of the latter here, especially as a parallel to the whole Juliet-Peter-Mark triangle. But the first one does fit the original framework a twinge better.
Ideal Recasting: Version 1: Henry Golding as Jamie and Nathalie Emmanuel as Aurélia. Version 2: Gemma Chan as Jamie and Nathalie Emmanuel as Aurélia.
The Prime Minister and Natalie
The Original Plot: David (Hugh Grant), the UK’s recently elected prime minister, meets junior household staff member Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) on his first day on the job. He’s smitten with her and she’s taken with him, but they don’t act on anything because he’s the prime minister, she works for him, and unlike Colin Firth as Jamie, David is aware of appropriate workplace dynamics.
Then, the (unnamed) president of the United States (Billy Bob Thornton) visits, and he hits on Natalie, who gets flustered. David is upset, and has Natalie moved to a different position. But after finding a Christmas card from her buried in his pile of holiday greetings, and reading her message about how she’s “actually his,” he sets off to find her. Eventually, they attend a Christmas pageant together, and make out backstage.
The Fix: Natalie and the prime minister have probably the cutest, most cinematic story out of everyone in this movie — and also the one most rife with uncomfortable dynamics. This Love Actually plotline requires the most fixing.
First fix — Natalie no longer works directly for the prime minister. Immediately, the weird workplace vibes are gone. She now owns and runs a little café around the corner from 10 Downing Street. When the prime minister feels particularly overwhelmed one day, he ducks into her café, and she accidentally spills something on him. She doesn’t realize who he is for a good few minutes. Then she’s embarrassed and he’s flustered, but they’re both charmed by each other. He also really likes her chocolate biscuits! He starts to stop by during off hours whenever he can, and she starts to keep the café open a little later, just so he’s able to sip some late-night cocoa.
Second fix — just get rid of the U.S. president. Back in 2003 when the film came out, his presence was meant as a political allegory, since many people in the U.K. felt that America was pushing them around. But we can have romantic misunderstandings without men in power abusing their positions! This is supposed to be a feel-good comedy anyway.
There are two options here, depending on how big a political statement we want. One is that the person the prime minister sees accosting Natalie is her landlord, letting her know that rent is going up due to the state of the economy, or inflation, or something like that. Natalie snaps at the prime minister about his politics preventing him from helping people like her. So instead of standing up to the American president, he stands up to Parliament about some law they’re debating that affects people like Natalie. Then he goes house-to-house to find her on Christmas, and ends up making out with her during his sister’s children’s Christmas pageant. This one is a bit convoluted, but I wanted to honor the impact of the original plotline without making it uncomfortable.
The second option is to remove that angle entirely! Instead, Natalie’s ex-boyfriend shows up at the café, and the two embrace and are particularly cozy. But David only sees them through a window and thinks they’ve gotten back together instead. Gasp! It’s a simple rom-com misunderstanding. He stops coming around to the café, and when she spots him and tries to talk to him, he alludes to the fact he saw her with her boyfriend. She still leaves the prime minister a card that says, “Yours, Natalie.” He still realizes his error and goes house-to-house to find her on Christmas, then ends up making out with her during his sister’s children’s Christmas pageant!
Third fix — No more fat jokes. Seriously, McCutcheon isn’t even remotely plus-sized. She just has a round face! What was up with that?
Ideal Recasting: Emilia Clarke as Natalie — she also has a charming, round face and a gorgeous smile! Tom Hiddleston as the Prime Minister. If anyone can re-create Hugh Grant’s awkward charm (besides Hugh Grant), it’s Hiddleston.
Here’s the thing
Look — Love Actually in its 2003 form is flawed. There is a lot of workplace harassment. There’s a lot of sex and far too little love, which makes the movie’s title feel misleading or just misinformed. And the few love stories in the movie are predominantly heterosexual. There isn’t any way the movie is going to resonate today the same way it did in 2003.
But it’s been 20 years. It’s the perfect time for a reboot, a new chance to bring the joy of intertwined Christmas love stories to a whole new audience. Love Actually is a problematic fave. But it could just be a fave — a movie that makes good on the bold promises of love it makes in the beginning.

As the streaming platforms bring about a rebirth of the holiday romance genre, the must-see film of the season faces endless criticism that its creators handle by claiming that the characters are not perfect; just human

Aside from marking the official beginning of the Christmas consumerism season, Mariah Carey’s “It’s time!” also serves as a reminder that Love Actually is approaching — a movie in which Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You plays an essential role, and probably the last classic Christmas romantic comedy, 20 years after its release. The initial response to the film written and directed by Richard Curtis was rather lukewarm; after all, 2003 was the year of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Matrix Revolutions and Kill Bill. It was the sixth choice at the American box office at its release, even below the third installment of Scary Movie, and the critics did not hold back their disdain. “If listing the cast of Love Actually is exhausting, it is even more tiring to watch it,” declared The Washington Post.
It was its DVD edition and the television broadcasts that turned it into an atypical Christmas classic in the vein of Die Hard or Gremlins, in which the holiday is only a backdrop with no particular weight on the plot; and it is the viewers that found it through streaming platforms who have subjected it to a phenomenon that series like Friends have also gone through: revisionism. Comments like “This movie has so many creepy elements to it and it shouldn’t be shown on TV any longer,” can be found all over social media, and there is an entire Reddit thread that deems it “a disgusting movie in its toxic portrayal of love.” The growing tide of contempt against what used to be seen as nothing more than an overly commercial, corny product, led The Independent to ponder last year: “Why does everyone love to hate Love Actually?”
The word most used to define it by the viewers who have come across it recently is “toxic,” and the main culprit is Andrew Lincoln’s character, the best man who is in love with his best friend’s girlfriend and is responsible for one of the most recognizable parts of the film: a declaration of love to Keira Knightley’s character in which he uses a series of poster boards — a sequence inspired by Bob Dylan’s video for Subterranean Homesick Blues — after having obsessively videotaped her.
“Are you sure I’m not going to come off as a creepy stalker?” the actor kept asking Curtis, according to Entertainment Weekly. Some viewers did not like that Knightley was kind to him after his declaration and rather than being romantic, as Curtis expected (the role was inspired by himself), her behavior was considered shady. However, the truly reprehensible detail of this story is often overlooked: at the time of filming, Knightley was 17. It was the site Jezebel that opened the floodgates of controversy a decade ago by describing Love Actually as a movie of just “straight white men” doing things. “None of the women in this movie fucking talk. All of the men in this movie ‘win’ a woman at the end.”
Curtis admits that he feels “a bit stupid” about the movie’s lack of diversity. There are things he would change, he told Diane Sawyer, “but thank God society is changing. My film is bound in some moments to feel out of date.” The director is also aware that too many stories are set in the work environment and between bosses and their subordinates. We have the British prime minister flirting with his assistant, an office manager flirting with an employee and a writer who falls in love with his housekeeper. The most controversial, due to the obvious inequality of power, is Hugh Grant’s storyline. His role requires a great deal of suspension of disbelief, from how unlikely it is that a young, single man could be prime minister, to the fact that he must go door to door looking for Natalie, his talkative, adorable assistant, who left the job, unable to deal with the situation. Does Downing Street not keep the addresses of its workers? From any point of view, past or present, his flirting with a subordinate is reprehensible, as well as the fact that he reconsiders diplomatic relations with the United States after surprising the country’s president crossing the line with her.
Still, he is not the worst boss in the movie. The late Alan Rickman acts as a walking cliché as the older man who succumbs to the charms of a younger, more willing woman than his selfless, sensible, hard-working wife (Emma Thompson), one of those mothers who have to deal with their children letting them know on Sunday at 11:00 p.m. that they have to bring a poster board to class the next day (in this case, the situation has to do with a lobster costume). Rickman’s character is not treated with benevolence: he is the great villain of the film, who causes his sweet wife — as well as the viewers — unbearable suffering.
Uncle Jamie, played by Colin Firth, also suffers — because he finds his brother in bed with his girlfriend. To overcome the trauma, he goes to France, where he falls in love with a Portuguese woman despite not speaking the same language; perhaps just because of that. It is one of the most analyzed and most criticized stories in the movie, due to his position of power and the fact that she barely speaks, as the story is told from his point of view. “Colin Firth falls in ‘love’ with Aurelia at first sight, establishing Love Actually’s central moral lesson: The less a woman talks, the more lovable she is,” wrote Lindy West in Jezebel.
The storyline of Liam Neeson, who plays a widowed stepfather who tries to establish communication with the son of his recently deceased wife, has also been categorized as creepy. When he finds out that the boy is depressed because he has a crush on a classmate, they begin to concoct crazy plans to win her over, which ends with a chase through the airport that in real life would set off several anti-terrorist alarms. But while the love life of two preteens raises some eyebrows, nothing is more questionable in this story than the fact that Neeson flirts too soon with Claudia Schiffer, as the protocols of dating after widowhood dictated by social media are very strict. He is also frowned upon for falling in love with her after seeing her only once, as happens with Colin Firth’s story.
A criticism, in fact, that extends to almost the entire film and that no critic seems to be able to ignore, as Christopher Orr notes in The Atlantic, where he declares it “the least romantic film of all time.” In his article, Orr states: “Love Actually is a considerable outlier among romantic comedies in its rigorous conviction not only that people fall in love without really knowing one another, but that they don’t even need to learn anything about each other to confirm their initial attraction.” A curious opinion in the time of Tinder.
Martine McCutcheon, who plays Hugh Grant’s object of desire, disagrees with the criticisms, and to this day she stands up for the movie. “It was 20 years ago, and the world has changed a lot but I also think that part of the charm of the film was the fact that some of the love stories and the characters weren’t perfect,” she told the Daily Mail. “For me, part of the reason that I love the film is because it was so honest and it wasn’t about ticking too many boxes and being PC, it was about being human.”

British actor Colin Firth achieved international renown in 1995 with his arguably definitive screen portrayal of Fitzwilliam Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." He began his career in West End dramas and on the big screen in period, often literary adaptations, before a number of successful romantic comedies including "Bridget Jones' Diary" (2001) and broader historic dramas like "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" (2003) turned him into "the thinking woman's heartthrob." While the moniker stuck throughout his career, Firth continued to showcase untapped facets of his talent in independent films, family-friendly hits, and gutsy cable movies. With noted turns in "Love, Actually" (2003), "Nanny McPhee" (2006) and "Mamma Mia!" (2008), Firth displayed both serious acting chops and an easygoing screen presence that continually pleased audiences. But the actor took his career to a new level with "A Single Man" (2009) and "The King's Speech" (2010). The roles were tour-de-force performances that earned Firth several award nominations and wins and elevated his career to new heights. Colin Firth was born on Sept. 10, 1960, the son of academic lecturers who raised their young family in Nigeria for four years before settling in England. Firth seemed unlikely to follow in his family's footsteps and by his early teens, had developed a keen interest in acting, partially inspired by British great Paul Scofield and his performance in "A Man for All Seasons" (1966). Firth began dramatic studies with the National Youth Theatre at 18 and went on to make a significant impression at The Drama Centre London. Fresh out of that program, Firth was surprised to find himself cast as the lead in a West End production of Julian Mitchell's "Another Country," replacing Daniel Day-Lewis in the role of upper class spy-in-the-making, Guy Bennett. Over the next decade, Firth enjoyed a steady if low-profile living as an actor, making his screen debut in the 1984 film version of "Another Country" and sticking close to his stage roots in George Bernard Shaw's "The Doctor's Dilemma" and "The Lonely Road," a psychological family drama that earned Firth critical notice. Dipping his t in romantic lead territory, he co-starred opposite Greta Scacchi in a small screen remake of George Cukor's "Camille" (CBS, 1984), and anchored the 1986 British miniseries "Lost Empires," playing a touring entertainer in early 20th century England. He solidified his standing as an actor of substance and heady range with a return to the London stage in Eugene O'Neill's "Desire Under the Elms." Firth showcased his darker side in "A Month in the Country"(1987), where he essayed a haunted World War I veteran who romances a vicar's wife, and "Apartment Zero" (1988), a rare contemporary role where he made an impression as a lonely and sheltered film lover whose life is changed when he takes in a mysterious American boarder. In 1989, he earned his first acting awards, including one from the Royal Television Society, for his portrayal of paralyzed soldier Robert Lawrence in the TV biopic, "Tumbledown." Later in the year Milos Forman's "Valmont" (1989) marked Firth's entry into the American studio film world, and he was both appealing and appalling as the rich and too clever 18th century count in the adaptation of the classic French novel Les Liasons Dangereuses. Unfortunately, the film was overshadowed by the previous year's lavish take on the same material, "Dangerous Liaisons" (1988). Following appearances in a number of European-produced films that were little-seen across the pond, as well as London stage runs in a pair of comedies, Firth truly made his international breakthrough in 1995. The Dublin University-set romance "Circle of Friends" (1995) was moderately popular, but the BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice" (1995) was wildly popular in Britain and exported to the U.S. (A&E, 1996). Suddenly, Firth found himself dubbed a "heartthrob" for his take on the aloof, arrogant, but ultimately redeemable 18th century suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy in the adaptation of what was considered literary history's first romantic comedy. He was recognized by the BAFTA and National Television awards with a Best Actor nomination. The following year, Firth offered a stoic turn as the cuckold husband of Kristin Scott Thomas' in "The English Patient" (1996), the Oscar winner of Best Picture of the Year among other countless accolades. Firth's starring role in Nick Hornby's football-themed story "Fever Pitch" (1997) was little seen in the States, but "Shakespeare in Love" (1998) was a certified blockbuster that swept the Oscars and BAFTAs. In the fictionalized fable of the Bard's off-book romance, Firth cut a dashing figure in doublet and hose in the comic, slightly villainous role of the Earl of Wessex. He excelled as an eccentric inventor in the 1930s-set "My Life So Far" (1999) before taking on a bit of post-modern casting by playing Mark Darcy - a character inspired by his glowering interpretation of the Austen hero - in the film version of "Bridget Jones's Diary" (2001). His performance in the hugely successful chick flick fueled Firth's growing cult of female admirers, earned the actor a BAFTA nomination, and also shifted the tide towards more contemporary and romantic comedy roles. An Emmy-nominated performance as a Nazi secretary of state in HBO's "Conspiracy" (2001) and a remake of "The Importance of Being Earnest" (2002) maintained Firth's close ties with headier, more literary material, while a 2003 appearance as Amanda Bynes' unknowing English father in the light-as-feather teen comedy "What a Girl Wants" (2003) and a role in the romantic ensemble "Love Actually" (2003) proved that the popular actor had mainstream crossover appeal. He returned to period dramas but cemented his romantic lead status with his portrayal of 17th Century artist Johannes Vermeer in "Girl With a Pearl Earring" (2003) - a tale that projected an intimate relationship between the famed painter and the young subject (Scarlett Johansson) of his most renowned work of art. Firth reprised Mark Darcy for the sequel blockbuster "Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason" (2004), which found his character in a series of ups and downs and misunderstandings with neurotic Jones, despite finally having become her official boyfriend. The solid mid-forties actor entered the family film fray in 2005 as a harried widower with seven unruly kids in the critically-lauded fable "Nanny McPhee." In a pair of very different family tales, Firth starred as an author coming to terms with the troubled relationship with his dying father in the limited release "When Did You Last See Your Father?" (2007), and played a single father and ill-chosen love interest of Helen Hunt in "Then She Found Me" (2007). Firth carried on in the romantic comedy vein, co-starring alongside Uma Thurman in the critically reviled "The Accidental Husband" (2007) and in the big screen adaptation of the Abba-inspired stage musical "Mamma Mia" (2008), as one of Meryl Streep's character's former lovers and the possible father of her daughter. In a rare appearance in a dark thriller, Firth also starred in "Genova" (2008), playing a widowed father who attempts to make a fresh start with his young daughters in Italy, only to find the past coming back to haunt him. Following a starring turn in the British remake "St. Trinian's" (2009) and a co-starring role in the romantic comedy "Easy Virtue" (2009), Firth played Fred, the nephew and only living relative to Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), in Disney's take on the Charles Dickens classic, "A Christmas Carol" (2009). Firth turned to more challenging dramatic fare when he starred in "A Single Man" (2009), playing a gay British college professor in 1962 who struggles to find meaning in his life after the death of his long-time partner (Matthew Goode). Working for first-time feature director, fashion designer Tom Ford on "The Single Man," Firth gave a conflicted, layered performance which garnered the actor several award nominations at year's end, including nods from the Independent Spirit, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild and Academy for Best Actor. He next delivered another exemplary dramatic performance in "The King's Speech" (2010), playing King George VI, who struggles to overcome a debilitating speech impediment during a time of national crisis. The king enlists the help of unorthodox speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a relationship that begins discordantly, only to grow into an unbreakable bond. "The King's Speech" received widespread critical acclaim and found its way onto many year-end Top Ten lists. While the film had exceptional supporting performances from Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, it was Firth who earned the most adulation, including Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG wins for Best Actor. Firth followed that with an acclaimed performance in an adaptation of John le Carre's spy novel "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011) and a remake of the thriller "Gambit" (2012) with a script by Joel and Ethan Coen. Starring rolesin the comedy-drama "ArthurNewman" (2013), war film "The Railway Man" (2014), crime drama "Devil's Knot" (2014), Woody Allen-directed romantic comedy "Magic in the Moonlight" (2014), psychological thriller "Before I Go To Sleep" (2014) and action blockbuster "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (2015). After starring as literary editor Maxwell Perkinsin "Genius" (2016), Firth returned to one of his best-loved roles in "Bridget Jones's Baby" (2016) and co-starred in another sequel,"Kingsman: The Golden Circle" (2017). Firth next starred in Rupert Everett's "The Happy Prince" (2018), musical comedy sequel "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again" (2018) and the much-anticipated "Mary Poppins Returns" (2018). His sole release the following year was a starring role in Sam Mendes'war drama "1917" (2019).

Love actually is, still, all around.
This holiday season marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved Christmas film "Love Actually," which first debuted in November 2003.
The 2-hour movie follows multiple love stories, most of which take place in the U.K., that overlap and intertwine with one another.
Here's a look back at the actors when the movie was first released, and what the cast looks like now.
Hugh Grant, 63
As the newly minted prime minister of the U.K., Hugh Grant's character David quickly realizes he's falling for young staffer Natalie. Though taboo to be dating someone within the inner government circle, David's feelings can only be suppressed for so long, and the two are eventually caught kissing at the local primary school's Christmas play.
Martine McCutcheon, 47
Martine McCutcheon played Natalie, the prime minister's striking but slightly awkward junior staffer, in the 2003 film. From the moment she meets David, Natalie is at a loss for words and her feelings towards him only grow stronger over time.
Emma Thompson, 64
Emma Thompson's character Karen is the sister of the prime minster and married to Harry, who she shares two kids with. The holiday season seems pleasant for Karen until she notices her husband having eyes for his secretary. Upon receiving a disappointing Christmas present, she faces the harsh reality of her situation and is faced with a decision: to leave Harry on Christmas or keep on a brave face for her family.
Alan Rickman, died at 69
Alan Rickman, who died in January 2016 from cancer, played Harry, Karen's husband. He's emotionally cheating on his wife, at the very least, with his secretary Mia, who attempts to seduce him any chance she gets. Though he seems to feel guilty about his actions, Harry ends up putting a major rift in his family life.
Heike Makatsch, 52
Heike Makatsch portrayed Mia in the film, the chic young secretary for Rickman's character Harry. Though it's never shown that the two get together, Mia makes her interest known as Harry purchases her a stunning necklace for Christmas.
Bill Nighy, 73
As the one of the biggest rockstars at the time, Billy Mack, played by Bill Nighy, embraces his reputation as the raunchy, goofy performer — continuously saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. He comes out with a Christmas version of his hit song, which gains massive traction. But by the end of the film, he realizes that all the people suddenly in love with his lifestyle don't appreciate him for his true self like those closest to him.
Gregor Fisher, 69
Billy Mack's manager, Joe, played by Gregor Fisher, is truly the only person who's with the singer at all times and understands him like no one else. Joe has to clean up Billy's mess as he constantly makes inappropriate remarks, but ultimately loves the singer and his job.
Liam Neeson, 71
After his wife dies, Liam Neeson's character Daniel is left with his stepson, Sam, and attempts to navigate this new life. Daniel and Sam grow as a father-son duo and become best friends, as Daniel helps the young kid win over the girl of his dreams at school.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 33
Thomas Brodie-Sangster portrayed Sam, who decides to take his stepdad's advice in chasing down the love of his life, an American student named Joanna, by learning to play the drums. In the primary school's play, Sam whips out his newfound musical talent. However, after thinking his efforts weren't enough to win Joanna over before she returns to the U.S., Sam takes his mission to Heathrow Airport.
Olivia Olson, 31
Sam's love interest Joanna is played by Olivia Olsen. Johanna is London's new girl who's originally from the States and has to go back by the end of the movie — giving Sam a timeline for swooning.
Colin Firth, 63
Colin Firth's character Jamie has a reality check when he walks in on his fiancée cheating on him with his brother and decides to take a trip to the countryside to focus on his writing. Amid his writer's block, Jamie unexpectedly meets Aurelia, a Portuguese woman who is working as a housekeeper at the cottage. Aurelia doesn't speak a lick of English, and Jamie doesn't speak Portuguese, but the two have a connection that runs deeper than language. Though they said but a few words to one another, Jamie decides once he's back in London that he can't live without Aurelia and travels to find her.
Lúcia Moniz, 47
Aurelia, played by Lúcia Moniz, develops mutual feelings for Jamie while working as the cottage's housekeeper and attempts to take an interest in his writing, despite their language barrier. After the two part ways to return home, Jaime seeks out Aurelia to propose in Portuguese, only to find that she's been learning English.
Keira Knightley, 38
Keira Knightley's character Juliet is happily married to her new husband, Peter — but Peter's best friend Mark is also in love with Juliet. She seems completely oblivious to this, as does everyone else, but she has a revelation while watching her wedding video that Mark filmed.
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 46
Peter, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, seems happy to start his new life with Juliet, but suspects his friend Mark doesn't like his new wife. Though Mark eventually confesses his love to Juliet, Peter never seems to realize his friend had feelings for his significant.
Andrew Lincoln, 50
Andrew Lincoln played Mark, whose feelings toward Juliet were revealed after she plays her wedding tape that Mark filmed. After watching the video, which is made up of mostly clips of Juliet, Mark walks out in a hurry. However, he later returns on Juliet's doorstep to quietly confess his love for her — without requesting anything in return.
Laura Linney, 59
Sarah, played by Laura Linney, works for Harry's company and is in love with her co-worker, Karl, which is widely known across the employee social sphere. This relationship seems promising, as Karl does express interest in Sarah, but they never get together because she's constantly having to care for her brother, who is institutionalized.
Rodrigo Santoro, 48
Rodrigo Santoro plays Karl, who comes across as the somewhat nerdy but sweet and attractive man at the office. Karl and Sarah are continuously drawn to each other, but life keeps getting in the way of them starting a relationship.
Martin Freeman, 52
Martin Freeman's character John stars as a body double for adult movies in London. On set, he and his new co-star Judy quickly become comfortable being intimate with one another, given the nature of their jobs. They begin to have relatable conversations while filming and start to fall for each other.
Joanna Page, 46
Judy, a body double for adult films played by Joanna Page, eventually goes on a date with John to get to know each other better outside of their jobs. At the end of the film, they are seen attending the primary school's Christmas play together.
Kris Marshall, 50
Kris Marshall portrays Colin, who struggles with his love life and blames it on the type of women he encounters in England. Colin decides to take a leap of faith and book a flight to Wisconsin to see if he has better luck with women in the States — and well, he does.
Abdul Salis, 44
Tony, played by Abdul Salis, is Colin's friend and is constantly telling him to stop blaming his unsuccessful love life on the market of women. He also acts as a production assistant of the films starring John and Judy.

When the 2003 Christmas classic Love Actually entered the world, it was like a stuffed stocking, filled to the brim with some of Britain’s greatest actors.
From Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson to Alan Rickman, it attracted some of the best performers of the era.
The film also launched the careers of Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Olivia Olson, who were children when they starred in the romcom.
It’s been almost 20 years since Richard Curtis’s film was released, and they’ve all been very busy since then.
Some of the stars of the movie have gone on to work with Curtis again, while others have had huge franchise roles or become synonymous with certain characters, like Martin Freeman’s Dr John Watson in Sherlock.
Here’s a rundown on the Love Actually cast’s varied careers, from 2003 to now…
Bill Nighy
After playing rock and roll legend Billy Mack in Love Actually, Nighy went on to star as boat captain Davy Jones in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as Radio Rock boss Quention in The Boat that Rocked, and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 as Rufus Scrimgeour. He collaborated with Love Actually filmmaker Curtis again with About Time and other career highlights have included roles in Pride and Emma. He most recently starred as a terminally ill man in the critically praised, Fifties-set movie Living.
Colin Firth
Having played loved-up writer Jamie in Love Actually, a part that came after Firth starred in Bridget Jones’s Diary, the actor reprised his role as Mark Darcy in more of Curtis’s Bridget Jones movies. He then starred memorably in Mamma Mia! and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, as well as in A Single Man, The King’s Speech (for which he won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Actor) and 1917. He will next appear in Sam Mendes’s Empire of Light alongside Olivia Colman.
Emma Thompson
The Love Actually scene where Emma Thompson holds back tears as she listens to Joni Mitchell is one of the best and most memorable in the film. After portraying Karen, Thompson played Professor Sybill Trelawney in numerous Harry Potter movies, and also starred in Nanny McPhee, Stranger than Fiction, I Am Legend, An Education, Bridget Jones’s Baby, and Cruella, to name just a few. Her latest role is as the formidable Miss Trunchbull in the musical film Matilda.
Liam Neeson
In Love Actually, Neeson’s Daniel was immersed in grief. Much of the rest of Neeson’s characters have been immersed in action – from his role as the desperate father in Taken, to parts in Batman Begins and The Grey. He’s also popped up in a Coen brothers movie – The Ballad of Buster Scruggs – and episodes of Derry Girls and Atlanta.
Kris Marshall
Since his role as Colin, “god of sex”, in Love Actually, Marshall has starred in films such as The Merchant of Venice and Death at a Funeral, as well as reprised his role as Nick Harper in My Family. He also had a long-running role as DI Humphrey Goodman in the TV drama Death in Paradise. He can next be seen in that show’s spin-off Beyond Paradise.
Martin Freeman
Freeman has gone from playing body double John in Love Actually to starring in the action-comedies Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to name a few. He’s also appeared in Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy as Bilbo Baggins, and also had role in Marvel’s Black Panther. His latest project is its sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. He’s perhaps most famous, though, for playing Sherlock Holmes’s sidekick Dr John Watson in Sherlock, and Tim in The Office (the latter of which ended just after Love Actually came out).
Keira Knightley
After playing newlywed Juliet in Love Actually, Knightley has gone on to star in films such as Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, The Imitation Game, Official Secrets, Greed, and Silent Night. She has played Elizabeth Swann in many Pirates of the Caribbean movies and her next film is Boston Strangler, in which she plays the journalist who investigated the famous 1960s case.
Joanna Page
Page hopped from playing an awkward body double in Love Actually to portraying the lead role of Stacey Shipman in the beloved sitcom Gavin & Stacey. Since then, she’s popped up in numerous TV shows including Bedlam, The Syndicate and Breathless.
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Since playing newlywed Peter in Love Actually, Ejiofor has been busy. He’s starred in numerous Spike Lee movies, including She Hate Me and Inside Man, as well as the films Children of Men, American Gangster, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange, and The Lion King. His next project is the sci-fi romcom The Pod Generation, which he appears in alongside Emilia Clarke.
Andrew Lincoln
Lincoln’s Mark holding up those signs while professing his love for Keira Knightley’s Juliet will never leave the collective psyche – but the actor has had many roles since Love Actually. He’s starred in films including Scenes of a Sexual Nature and Made in Dagenham, as well as the TV shows Afterlife, Strike Back and Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities. His most famous role is as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead.
Hugh Grant
Grant played dancing prime minister David in Love Actually, after having collaborated with Richard Curtis many times previously. Since Love Actually, he’s starred in the movies Florence Foster Jenkins, Paddington 2 and The Gentlemen, and his newest movie is Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. On TV, he’s appeared as disgraced politician Jeremy Thorpe in A Very English Scandal and the US thriller The Undoing.
Alan Rickman
When Rickman starred as flirty design agency boss Harry in Love Actually, he was already adored by many for his role as Snape in the Harry Potter movies, which he continued after the romcom came out in 2003. He also followed the film up with roles as Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He died of pancreatic cancer aged 69 in 2016.
Martine McCutcheon
McCutcheon starred as a junior member of the prime ministerial staff, Natalie, in Love Actually, but before that she was known for playing Tiffany Mitchell in EastEnders. After Love Actually, in which she copped off with Hugh Grant’s PM,she starred in the TV shows Spooks and Echo Beach, and she has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox and released a fitness DVD.
Laura Linney
After playing timid office worker Sarah in Love Actually, Linney had roles in the movies Driving Lessons, The Savages, and Nocturnal Animals, to name just a few. She had a busy career in TV, too, with parts in Frasier, The Big C and Tales of the City. Her biggest hit since Love Actually has been the Netflix thriller Ozark, in which she plays crime family matriarch Wendy Byrde.
Rowan Atkinson
After playing a perfectionist shop assistant in Love Actually, Atkinson reprised his role in two Johnny English sequels, several Mr Bean movies and also starred in the film Keeping Mum and the TV series Maigret. One of his most recent projects was the Netflix show Man vs Bee, and he can soon be seen in Wonka, alongside Olivia Colman and Sally Hawkins.
January Jones
Jones played one of the American party girls, Jeannie, in Love Actually. After that, the actor starred in the films Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, The Boat that Rocked, Unknown and X-Men: First Class, to name a few. On TV, she became famous for her role as Betty Draper in Mad Men, and has also appeared in The Last Man on Earth, The Politician and Spinning Out.
Olivia Olson
After playing schoolgirl singer Joanna in Love Actually, aged just 11, Olson has voiced Vanessa Doofenshmirtz in cartoon Phineas and Ferb and Marceline the Vampire Queen in Adventure Time. She is also a writer, having written the Boom! Studios graphic novel Marcy and Simon.
Billy Bob Thornton
Thornton portrayed the evil US president in Love Actually, and after the film went on to star in movies from Friday Night Lights to Chrystal. He also played Billy McBride in the legal drama Goliath and Lorne Malvo in the Fargo TV series. One of his next projects is sci-fi movie The Electric State, led by Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.
Lúcia Moniz
Before Love Actually, Moniz represented Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1996. Since playing Aurelia, the maid who falls in love with Colin Firth’s Jamie, Moniz has appeared in comedy The Right Juice and the Portuguese movies Fatima and Listen. She has also starred in many Portuguese TV series.
Abdul Salis
After portraying Tony, the eye-rolling friend of Kris Marshall’s Colin in Love Actually, Salis went on to star in the TV series Casualty, EastEnders and The Wheel of Time. His movies post-Love Actually include Sahara, Welcome Home and Flyboys.
Gregory Fisher
Fisher played music manager Joe in Love Actually, but when he got that role he was already known for playing the title role in the Scottish comedy Rab C Nesbitt. His roles since Love Actually have included parts in the films The Merchant of Venice and Lassie, and TV shows Empty and Love Life.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Brodie-Sangster was only 12 when he played the lovelorn son of Liam Neeson’s Daniel in Love Actually. Since the movie, he’s gone on to star in the films Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy (in which he played Paul McCartney), several Maze Runners and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He’s also known for his parts in the TV series Feather Boy, Game of Thrones, Wolf Hall, Godless, The Queen’s Gambit and Pistol.

We're surprised too...
Everyone knows that the true meaning of Christmas is sitting down to watch Love Actually - and, if you're the cynical type, to pick many holes in the many plots of the iconic Crimbo film.
While you may know the ins and outs of Richard Curtis' phenomenally festive ensemble drama (face it, you can probably recite Hugh Grant's airport voiceover. And his prime ministerial speech...), these behind-the-scenes facts will certainly enlighten your future viewings. Grab a roll neck and some A2 paper, it's time to revisit some of this Christmas classic's lesser-known tidbits...

37 Things You Definitely Didn't Know About Love Actually
1 of 37

1. Thomas Brodie Sangster (Sam) had to learn how to play the drums for the role
We call this dedication. Luckily, his dad plays drums and was able to teach him. Pretty handy if you ask us! Thomas still plays the drums even now - which is all the proof you need that Love Actually is for life, not just for Christmas.

2. Bill Nighy didn't realise that he was auditioning to play ageing rocker Billy Mack
On the film's tenth anniversary, Nighy told The Daily Beast, 'I did a rehearsal reading of the script as a favour to the great casting director, Mary Selway, who had been trying to get me into a film for a long time. I thought it was simply to help her hear the script aloud and to my genuine surprise I was given the job.' Frankly, we can't picture a Love Actually universe that doesn't include Bill.

3. His Christmas single was recorded in Abbey Road Studios
Meaning that he was in pretty good company. We wonder if any famous faces jumped in on his 'festering turd of a record' (Billy's words, not ours).

4. Richard Curtis previously had two other actors in mind for Nighy's character
Difficult to believe though it may now be, Nighy wasn't a dead cert for Billy Mack - though Curtis has refused to reveal who the other contenders were, joking that he'll 'put it in [his] will.'

5. The footage in the airport scenes that bookend the film is real
The camera crew set up at Heathrow airport and filmed friends and family reuniting over the course of a week. And the tears just keep on coming...

6. There were initially 14 storylines planned for the film, but – unsurprisingly – it ended up feeling too confusing
Two of them were cut – including one same-sex love story, and another featuring an African couple. Last year, Director Richard Curtis opened up about his regrets with the film, saying 'the lack of diversity makes me feel uncomfortable and a bit stupid.'

7. When Sugababes’ 'Too Lost In You’ is played in the UK version of the film, American audiences hear The Trouble With Love Is by Kelly Clarkson instead
Our deepest sympathies go to American fans of Love Actually, who have been missing out on what is undisputedly the best Sugababes song for all these years. During those ever-so emosh scenes, US audiences are treated to a lil bit of Kelly Clarkson.

8. Hugh Grant and Thomas Brodie Sangster are second cousins
It's a family affair! Their great-grandmothers were actually sisters (meaning they share a great great-grandmother). 'He'd call me cousin and ruffle my hair,' Sangster recalled to The Telegraph.

9. The 'lake’ which Jamie (Colin Firth) and Aurelia (Lucia Moniz) jump into to save the manuscript was only 18 inches deep
Rewatching this scene brings a whole new level of awks as we imagine was was really going on beneath the surface. The two actors had to shuffle on their knees to pretend they were swimming, and Firth ended up being bitten badly by a mosquito, causing his elbow to swell to the size of 'an avocado.' This would never have happened to Mr Darcy.

10. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair ended up referencing Hugh Grant's Love Actually speech in a very meta moment
Alluding to the scene where Grant's character stands up to the President (played by Billy Bob Thornton) with a speech that references everything from Harry Potter to David Beckham's right foot, Blair said, 'I know there's a bit of us that would like me to do a Hugh Grant in Love Actually and tell America where to get off. But the difference between a good film and real life is that in real life, there's the next day, the next year, the next lifetime to contemplate the ruinous consequences of easy applause.' There's definitely an undergraduate dissertation title hidden in there somewhere. If anything, we're taking great joy from knowing Tony sat down to watch this masterpiece.

11. Curtis’ daughter Scarlett appears as one of the lobsters in the school Christmas play
Because, as we all know, there was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus Christ. His son also pops up as the wise man with Spiderman face paint. Keep your eyes peeled!

12. That wasn't the only time that Curtis and his partner, screenwriter Emma Freud, called upon friends and family to appear in the film
The Downing Street housekeeper who greets the PM on his arrival is Freud's mother, while the music industry crowd at Billy Mack's party consists of the couple's friends. What good are some schmoozy industry connections if they can't bag you a part?

13. The awkward scene with Kris Marshall and the wedding caterer wasn't originally written for Love Actually
It was actually taken from the script for an earlier Richard Curtis vehicle, Four Weddings and a Funeral, with Hugh Grant intended to speak Marshall's lines. It was cut from the final version of the 1994 film, leaving Curtis to repurpose it further down the line.

14. Colin Firth's character name is a dig at Richard Curtis’ brother, Jamie
He later explained that Firth's character took his brother's name so that the disgruntled kids could say 'I hate Uncle Jamie.' Classic sibling behaviour, if you ask us...

15. Curtis always wanted Hugh Grant as the PM, and Emma Thompson as his put-upon sister
He wrote the screenplay with both of them in mind, having previously worked with Grant on Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, and with Thompson on The Tall Guy. It was an impeccably casting decision, giving us the iconic duo we never knew we needed.

16. Martine McCutcheon's role was written especially for her
Her character, Natalie, was actually called Martine in initial drafts of the script. This was changed before her audition to keep Martine on her toes, so she didn't assume the part was already in the bag.

17. The Barbie dolls that Emma Thompson's Karen wraps up as gifts are actually Ken dolls in drag
'Now, which doll shall we give Daisy's little friend Emily?' We've popped them both on our Crimbo wish lists.

18. Sarah (Laura Linney)'s flat was inspired by the author of Bridget Jones's Diary
The split-level apartment, which we see after Sarah's office party, is based on Helen Fielding's home. The writer is a friend of Curtis, and worked with him on the film adaptation of Bridget Jones.

19. The cast didn't film together, but they shared a huge trailer park
Bill Nighy told The Guardian, 'There were so many famous people in there, we used to talk about being on Liam Neeson Way or Emma Thompson Road or Hugh Grant Avenue. And it was a masterpiece of diplomacy, too; we all had the same size and type of trailer.'

20. Hugh Grant and Colin Firth's storylines were originally intended as two separate, standalone films
Sadly, we can definitely imagine ourselves watching both films and then quickly obliterating them from our Netflix viewing history. Some things don't need a full two hours to tell.

21. Joanna's rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You was seen as too good to be true
The producers were a tad worried that audiences wouldn't believe it was a child singing, so they asked her to make her next take 'a little less good.' Justice for Joanna, our little Mariah Carey!

22. Claudia Schiffer's cameo was never meant to happen
The producers wanted to cast someone who looked like the legendary supermodel, but predictably found this feat pretty difficult. The solution? Going direct to Claudia herself.
23 of 37

23. Similarly, Curtis wanted a Laura Linney-type actress to play Linney's role
Again, no one quite fit the bill - so Curtis solved the problem by going straight to Linney, writing her a letter to explain the story. 'My part was originally written for another Brit, but he asked me to do it, and I was so excited to be asked,' Linney told the Daily Beast.
24 of 37

24. Curtis had originally wanted the entire cast to be British, but this didn't quite work out.
Linney's on-screen love interest, Karl, ended up being played by Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro. 'My character, Karl, was supposed to be British, but apparently they couldn't find the right actor,' he later explained.

25. The wedding scene at the start of the film is actually based on a funeral
The idea for the surprise band in the church came after Curtis attended the funeral of Muppets creator Jim Henson, where the puppeteers and the 'Muppets' sang a song. We're adding it to our wedding (and funeral?) inspo boards.

26. An annoying character called Bernard appears in each of Richard Curtis’ films
It's his way of getting back at Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, who 'stole' his former girlfriend. Some feuds run deep. In Love Actually, Bernard is Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's 'horrid son.'

27. Hugh Grant was not on board with his dancing scene to begin with
Who'd have guessed it! According to Curtis, Hugh was 'hugely grumpy about it.' He said, 'He kept on putting it off, and he didn't like the song. It was originally a Jackson 5 song, but we couldn't get it – so he was hugely unhappy about it.'
28 of 37

28. However, he ended up getting almost too involved with the performance
Curtis adds, 'We didn't shoot it until the final day, and it went so well that when we edited it, it had gone too well, and he was singing along with the words, so it was incredibly hard to edit.'
29 of 37

29. Grant's scenes were – unsurprisingly – not filmed in the real 10 Downing Street
To allow for a realistic portrayal, future inhabitant Gordon Brown (then Chancellor of the Exchequer) escorted Curtis and his production designer Jim Clay on a two-hour tour of Number 10. Banned from taking photos or notes, Clay had to recreate the house from memory.

30. Think the scene with the cards is painfully creepy? Mark's declaration of love had to be written five times
Curtis read out different options to the women in his office, and asked them to choose the least embarrassing messages. The result is stillllll pretty cringe, so we dread to think what the previous drafts were like.

31. Andrew Lincoln wrote those infamous signs himself
'The art department did it, and then I said, "Well, can I do it?" because I like to think my handwriting is really good,' he later recalled.

32. Rowan Atkinson's cameo appearance was filmed at midnight in Selfridges
To avoid the crowds of tourists usually found in the popular department store, the production team asked for it to stay open late at night.

33. Emma Thompson did twelve takes of the Joni Mitchell scene
AKA the most devastating scene to exist on TV screens ever. Her crying was totally unscripted. 'I've had so much bloody practise at crying in a bedroom and then having to go out and be cheerful, gathering up the pieces of my heart and putting them in a drawer,' she later said. Hear that? That's our hearts breaking.

34. Thompson also filmed her scenes wearing a fat suit
Yes, really.

35. Olivia Olson (Joanna)'s first kiss was with her co-star Thomas Brodie-Sangster
'It was my first kiss and on-screen kiss too,' she explained to E! News. 'I was really nervous because I kind of had a crush on Thomas back in the day and I was also worried, because I was taller than him if it was going to look weird.'
36 of 37
36. The IRL age gap between Kiera Knightley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster is five years.
Pick those jaws up off the ground. Thomas' Sam was ten years old in the film, while Kiera played a married woman and homeowner. In real life, Thomas was 13 and Keira was 18. The film's bosses have since admitted that she was 'too young for the role,' but insisted that 'it worked.'

37. The word 'actually’ is said 23 times in the film
Love actually is all around! Keep that one in the bank for those upcoming Christmas quizzes.
