Rodrigo Santoro

The most unrealistic thing in Love, Actually is that Karl is single.
And why didn't Jamie go and buy an English-Portuguese dictionary? #LoveActually

I love how December is the month of tradition of blaming Laura Linney for not getting it on with her hot coworker Karl in ‘Love Actually’ 🤣 pic.twitter.com/xi3nZDwa9a

Claudia Schiffer

The best storyline in Love Actually is actually Liam Neeson and Claudia Schiffer – change my mind.

Andrew Lincoln

Mark from Love Actually (creepy stalker of Kiera Knightley's Juliet) goes on the run after she calls the cops on him, moves to Georgia, changes his name, meets and marries Lori, goes into law enforcement, just in time for the zombie apocalypse. "Love Actually" is a "TWD" prequel

Alan Rickman

Christmas movie tip. If you watch Die Hard right after Love Actually, Alan Rickman will be punished for what he did to Emma Thompson.
— Rev. Dr. Karyn L. Wiseman (@txpreach) December 16, 2021

I’m angrier with “Love Actually” Alan Rickman for cheating on Emma Thompson than I am with “Die Hard” Alan Rickman for the attack on Nakatomi Plaza.

Kris Marshall

Fav part of Love Actually is guy who thinks all women in USA are 10s/love English accents and if he could just get there he'd get all the ladies.

So he goes to Wis, walks into a rando bar and immediately has group sex with January Jones, Elisha Cuthbert and Shannon Elizabeth

"Where have I seen that actor before?" #SanditonPBS edition: Tom Parker

Oh this is just… it's amazing. Kris Marshall is most memorable (to me, at least) from his role in Love Actually as Colin, the dude who is STOKED to go to Wisconsin. pic.twitter.com/bwkj066OI1

January Jones

every time January Jones shows up in Love Actually I say “January Jones is in this!?”, even though I have seen this movie five thousand times.

Emma Thompson

every girl’s villian origin story is when Emma Thompson opens the Joni Mitchell CD in Love Actually

Elisha Cuthbert

5 yrs ago my boyfriend mentioned he used to have a crush on Elisha Cuthbert so obviously every year when we watch love actually I tell him every time his girlfriend’s about to appear on the screen x

Chiwetel Ejiofor

Keira Knightley’s character’s husband is the real tragic figure of Love Actually, imo. That poor bastard’s world is about to be turned upside down to such a devastating extent that they couldn’t even include it in the movie.

Liam Neeson

Tired: Hugh Grant is the hottest guy in Love Actually

Wired: Liam Neeson is the hottest guy in Love Actually
— Karen, Esq. (@comradeflirty) December 24, 2022

First time watching Love, Actually and Liam Neeson kills ZERO people? Incredibly disappointed.
— Ohad (@ohadsamet) December 4, 2023

Keira Knightley

Hugh Grant

Watching love actually and all I have to say is that hugh grant dissolving the uk’s political alliance w the US for a girl is like just an absolutely wild plot point that didn’t really hit home till now

Rowan Atkinson

I’m not sure if this has been discussed, but I had read a while back that Rowan Atkinson’s character was originally going to be an Angel. Hence why he’s there in a few key scenes that weren’t cut #hatm https://t.co/qZVwmcw31x
