All the trivia you&nbsp;didn't know about the Christmas movie: "Love Actually".

Love Actually fun facts . It was 2003 when Love Actually was released at the cinema, the <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/pop-culture/diabolik-fumetto-anniversario-eva-kant-film-trailer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christmas film</a> par excellence, but without excessive honeying and rhetoric. 19 years later we still love this ensemble comedy and it can&#39;t be missed in Christmas rewatches. With <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/pop-culture/hugh-grant-compleanno-carriera-film-da-vedere-bridget-jones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hugh Grant</a> , Keira Knightley and Emma Thompson it immediately becomes a great classic: different stories, initially there were 14 to then become 9, intertwine in a London in the early 2000s overwhelmed by <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/viaggi/mercatini-di-natale-in-europa-da-non-perdere-dove-sono" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the spirit of Christmas</a> . Love is everywhere: Hugh Grant is the new prime minister and falls in love with a girl on his staff; her sister (Emma Thompson) is convinced that she is being cuckolded by her husband (Alan Rickman) who is in fact very attracted to a colleague, who had already made a writer (Colin Firth) lose his mind...

According to IMDB, he gave his check back because &quot; it was really a pleasure to play with three girls stripping for me for 21 takes &quot;

The beginning and end of the film are not acted

The airport scenes at the opening and closing of the <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/moda/triangle-of-sadness-tra-moda-e-classismo-perche-le-modelle-non-ridono" target="_blank" rel="noopener">film</a> are real moments taken at the airport. No actors and no extras were paid for these

The most iconic scene in the film? The light-hearted dance of the Prime Minister, aka, Hugh Grant. Apparently, however, the actor tried in every way to dissuade the director from letting him shoot the famous ballet, constantly postponing filming.

Andrew Lincoln wrote all the billboards himself

If Hugh Grant gets the funniest scene title, Andrew Lincoln gets the most romantic scene title. The famous &quot;To me your perfect&quot; billboards that made all romantics dream were actually all written by the actor himself. The reason? His (apparently) beautiful handwriting.

Poor Emma Thompson is not only cheated on and forgotten by her husband, but put on a &quot;fattening&quot; suit. The actress had to look rounder than she naturally is.

With the usual irony that made him famous, Rowan Atkinson is the funniest - and slowest - clerk in the whole film. But that wasn&#39;t always the case. Originally his role was to be anything but: the actor was supposed to play an angel. In the original script, Rufus the salesman was supposed to leave the scene after helping Sam at the airport.

The river is actually only 50 cm high

Colin Firth and Lúcia Moniz shot all the scenes on their knees to make the water look deeper

Thomas Brodie-Sangster learned to play drums for the film

With a little help from his dad, little Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) learned to play <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/pop-culture/free-britney-new-documentary-about-all-the-singer-secrets-father-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the drums</a> during filming but loved it so much he&#39;s still playing.

The word &quot;actually&quot; is said 23 times

Love is actually all around...

The Prime Minister and Sam are related in real life

Exactly! Actor Hugh Grant and Thomas Brodie-Sangster (young Sam) are second cousins.

In the beginning there were 14 story lines that intertwined

Some were eliminated, including that of &quot; a very strict headmistress who treated her partner who was ill with cancer &quot;.

In the American version, the song Sarah and Karl dance to is different

For the British, &quot;Sugababes&quot; while the Americans sing &quot;The Trouble with Love Is&quot; by Kelly Clarkson.

Many actors didn&#39;t even audition

Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Lauren Linney and Claudia Schiffer were cast without even auditioning first.
