What you need to know about the Love Actually Cast

You're going to do it too, right? If you haven't done it already. Watching Love Actually. For the 147th time. We think that little Sam will always be little Sam, but that's not true, of course. The actors themselves are getting older too. And sadder. And wiser.

Hugh Grant

Hugh is Hugh is Hugh. We've seen him get a bit older. During Love Actually he was still single (a hiatus between Liz Hurley and Jemima Goldsmith) and now our Hugh has four children (did you know that?) in a somewhat messy arrangement. He had his first daughter with a receptionist from a Chinese restaurant, then he had child two with a Danish TV producer, then he went back to the receptionist from the Chinese restaurant and there he made baby three before returning to the Danish producer for baby four. Fairly distributed, we might say.

Liam Neeson

How strange life can be. In Love Actually, Liam plays the role of Daniel who has just lost his wife. The bizarre fate wants that Liam lost his wife in real life six years later due to a skiing accident.

Colin Firth

Just like in Love Actually, Colin Firth married a foreign beauty for whom he had to learn the language. Firth lost his heart to the Italian Livia Giuggioli. Moreover, he has officially become Italian for her.

Bill Nighy

Also your favorite, right? Especially that line: “Children, you shouldn’t buy drugs.” To continue with the masterful: “Become a popstar and you’ll get them for free!”

Bill Nighy is a lot more well-behaved in real life than his Love Actually character. He devours literature (preferably Hemingway), is an advocate for gender equality, was with the same woman for many years, and is famous for his snappy suits, which earned him a high ranking on The Guardian's best dressed list.

Martine McCutcheon

Wouldn't you have wanted to see much more of Martine after Love Actually? Well, here's how it went. She had a son (with the pretty cool name Rafferty), which was nice because she had previously had a miscarriage. However, it wasn't all happiness, as she was declared bankrupt in 2013. Bankrupt. So sad. Fortunately, in 2014 she received an award from Boston University for her contribution to the world of entertainment.

Rodrigo Santoro

Never heard anything from him again, but then again, never again. After Love Actually, Rodrigo had to wait three years for a next role. It didn't come. So he went back to his motherland Brazil where he could act again and found love. Fortunately, that too. And that six-pack, he has also maintained. Luckily.
