“Love Actually” may be one of the most beloved – albeit controversial – Christmas classics, but don’t try to cite the movie for starring Keira Knightley. The actress recently revealed that she hasn’t watched the film in decades, so interactions with fans who reference her lines mean “nothing” to her.
“I haven’t watched ‘Love Actually’ since the first one, which was when I was 18,” she told Heart. “So I think I’m the person who knows it the least. I know people have a certain look on their face and then they say things to me and I know that means they’re quoting ‘Love Actually,’ but I don’t really know what that is. It doesn’t mean anything to me.”
During filming, Knightley was only 17 years old and was on set for only a week, which contributed to his inability to remember the script. “It was a week when I was 17, so I don’t really remember it,” she continued. “I mean, I like that there’s this life, this, such a big life there.”
In the 2003 film, Knightley plays Juliette, a woman who gets married only to learn that her husband’s best friend is actually in love with her. In a now infamous scene, the friend appears at her door and confesses his feelings using cue cards. The cards say, “Let me tell you, without any hopes or agendas, just because it’s Christmas (and at Christmas you tell the truth), to me, you are perfect.” »
In 2024, Knightley described the moment as “pretty scary” in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “The slightly stalker aspect — I remember that,” Knightley said. “I remember (director) Richard (Curtis), who is now a dear friend, me doing the scene, and him saying, ‘No, you’re looking at (Lincoln) like he’s scary,’ and I’m like, ‘But that East quite scary. And then I have to do it again to fix my face so it doesn’t look scary.
When asked if she felt there was a creep factor to the scene during filming, Knightley replied: “I mean, there was a creep factor at the time, right? Plus, I knew I was 17. It seems like only a few years ago that everyone realized I was 17.
