Here’s where to watch Love Actually this Christmas

It’s official. Love (and Christmas) is all around.

So naturally, it’s time to watch Love Actually and revisit the star-studded cast of London-based characters, all of which just want someone to love on Christmas. With varying disastrous and hilarious results.

If you can believe it, the movie is now 21 years old, having hit cinemas back in November 2003. Wow. It has a behemoth of a cast, including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Black Doves star Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Laura Linney, Andrew Lincoln, Martine McCutcheon, Gavin and Stacey‘s Joanna Page, Rowan Atkinson, Claudia Schiffer, January Jones… The amazing list goes on.

We return to Love Actually every year at Christmas, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Director Richard Curtis was recently called out by his daughter, activist and writer Scarlett Curtis, for lack of diversity and the fat jokes in the film. Because although we love it, we can tell it was written in the early Noughties. The director has also said wished he’d been “ahead of the curve” when it comes to diversity. “There are things you’d change but, thank God, society is changing, so my film is bound, in some moments, to feel out of date,” he said.

But still, there’s something magical about revisiting love stories at Christmas, played by some of the best British actors out there, that can’t help but make us feel warm and fuzzy. Highlights have got to be Hugh Grant’s dancing through Number 10, the All I Want For Christmas Nativity play performance and basically any scene that Emma Thompson is in.
