Love in fact has become one of the most memorable and memorable films of all time, but for star Keira Knightley, it’s just a distant, vague memory.
In a new interview, Knightley opened up about fans approaching her and quoting the film, but that doesn’t mean much to her.
“I haven’t watched Love Actually since the premiere, which was when I was 18,” Knightley said in an interview with Heart. “So I think I’m the least knowing person out of anyone.”
She continued: “I know people have a particular look on their face and then they say things to me and I know that means they quote Love in fact, but I don’t really know what it is. This means nothing to me.
Love in fact is a Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Richard Curtis and released in 2003, featuring distinct love stories. Knightley played Juliet, a married woman who learns that her husband’s best friend, Mark (Andrew Lincoln), has feelings for her. Mark confesses his love to her with giant cards, while her husband is in the next room. Juliette quickly kisses Mark and returns to her husband at home.
The scene is one of the most memorable, but for Knightley, it was just a week of filming when she was 17 and didn’t leave a lasting impact. In fact, in a 2024 interview with Los Angeles TimesKnightley said one of the only lasting impressions she had of the scene was that it was “scary” and “mildly harassing.”
