From stand-up comedian to housewife: How are you doing twenty years after the cast of ‘Love Actually’? | Movie

LOOK. Twenty years after its release, the cast of ‘Love Actually’ reveals secrets and anecdotes about the film

As an adorable child star, Thomas stole countless hearts from ‘Love Actually’ fans twenty years ago. He’s now he’s a grown man with a lot of acting to do. In 2005 she made his appearance in the film “Nanny McPhee”. ‘Game of Thrones’ fans will likely recognize the actor as Jojen Reed, who played that role in the early seasons of the hit series. Trivia: Ferb’s voice in the cartoon “Phineas and Ferb” is that of Thomas.

Olivia was just eleven when she took on the role of Joanna, the girl Sam was madly in love with. The scene where she sang “All I Want For Christmas” still stands out today. Her voice sounded so good then that the director feared that no one would believe that she was actually the actress singing. That’s why they brought in a coach to make it more “believable”.

It won’t surprise you that 30-year-old Olivia has built a career as a singer. In 2013 she launched her first album: ‘Beauty Is Chaos’. In 2018 she also released “Nowhere Land”. The following year, she took part in ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’ alongside ‘Glee’ star Kevin McHale, among others, where she sadly finished 12th out of fifteen entrants. ‘Love Actually’ colleague Thomas and herself crossed paths again on the ‘set’ of ‘Phineas and Ferb’. She assumed the voice of Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.

Other than her appearance in ‘Love Actually’, Kris Marshall is probably best known for her role in the comedy series ‘My Family’. He has also appeared in the BBC series ‘Heist’, the 2015 romantic comedy ‘Sparks & Embers’ and was seen in a long running advertising campaign for BT, a British telecommunications company. From 2014 to 2017, he played the lead detective of Humphrey Goodman in the drama series ‘Death in Paradise’.

Mark’s scene as Andrew in “Love Actually” can now be considered iconic. In front of Juliet’s house, he musters all of her courage to declare her love for her. With a stack of cardboard plates filled with loving doodles and the Christmas classic “Silent Night” in the background, it’s a romantic highlight of the film.

Since then, Andrew has played the role of Sheriff Rick Grimes in the popular series ‘The Walking Dead’. For this he has received several awards and nominations. He received, among other things, the Saturn Award for Best TV Actor in 2015 and 2017. He will reprise that role in 2023 after leaving the series in 2018.

Another student in the series, Daisy, was played by Lulu Popplewell. The former child star is now a writer and stand-up comedian. “Love Actually” has always stayed with her. In 2020, she admitted that she actually finds the film “cheesy” and that it portrays women as “passive objects”. In fact, he described it as such shit movie.

She will forever be known as the woman who could win the heart of the Prime Minister (played by Hugh Grant) in ‘Love Actually’. She went on to win another Olivier Award for her role as Eliza in ‘My Fair Lady in the West End’ and made her own appearance in the series ‘Spooks’. She was also the protagonist of an advertising campaign, that of Tesco. And she even started writing herself. This led to her novel ‘The Mistress’.

But in 2022, he’s reportedly turning down many offers. She prefers to focus on her husband and her son Rafferty (7). “When filming a film or series you need to be available 24 hours a day and working days often last around seventeen hours. That’s why I took a step back,” she told The Mirror.

His role as Billy, who wanted to score one last hit as an aging rocker, eventually earned Bill a British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actor. The actor went on to score roles in blockbuster films like ˜Pirates of the Caribbean’, ˜Harry Potter’ and ˜The Best Exotic Hotel Marigold’.

The man is known for his classic style and elegant clothes. That’s why ‘The Guardian’ crowned him in 2013 as one of the 50 best dressed over 50s. In 2015 ‘GQ’ found him one of the best dressed British men.

Her role as Juliet gave the then 18-year-old Keira a bright start. She then garnered several Academy Award nominations for “Pride and Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” among others. She is said to be one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

Though he had small lines in ‘Love Actually’, he eventually became one of the most successful actors in the cast. His outstanding portrayal of Solomon Northup in the film ’12 Years a Slave’ earned him nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and British Academy Film Awards. Apart from Thandie Newton, he also starred in the movie ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’. Chiwetel also put ‘Donmar Warehouse’, ‘Doctor Strange’, ‘The Lion King’ and ‘The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind’ in his hit list.

German actress Heike took a chance on her (married) boss in ‘Love Actually’. Since that role, she has appeared in a few German productions and made her guest appearance in 2013’s ‘The Book Thief’.

Twenty years after his portrayal of British Prime Minister David in ‘Love Actually’, Hugh Grant is still an icon. In 2012 he appeared in the sci-fi drama ‘Cloud Atlas’. He gained worldwide fame for his role as Stephen Frears opposite Meryl Streep in “Florence Foster Jenkins”. Blockbusters such as ‘Paddington 2’, ‘A Very English Scandal’ and ‘The Gentlemen’ followed.

Three-time Academy Award nominee Laura Linney played the thoughtful Sarah in “Love Actually.” She would rather take care of her brother than fall in love with her colleague Karl. Since then, she has appeared in critically acclaimed films including ˜Kinsey’, ˜The Savages’ and ˜Sully’. In 2017 she ventured into the Netflix series ‘Ozark’ for which she received a screen nomination.

Thompson is partially responsible for one of the most iconic scenes in the film. Karen’s character of her found out that her husband bought a necklace for another woman. “Harry Potter” fans probably know Emma as Professor Sybil Trelawney. She also stars in the latest film “Bridget Jones” and in the live action version of “Beauty and the Beast” (Disney).

As Jamie, Colin Firth flees to France after learning that his brother was sleeping with his wife. There he finds love again with a Portuguese governess. After ‘Love Actually’, Colin’s acting career was almost over. He has starred in “The King’s Speech”, “A Single Man” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”, among others. But also in ‘Bridget Jones’s Baby’, ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’, ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’ and ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ managed to land a role.
