Hugh Grant Admits His Famous Dance Scene In Love Actually Was 'Absolute Hell'

Since its release in 2003, the romantic comedy Love Actually has become a favorite at Christmas time for fans around the world. But more than 15 years later, new details are still emerging about the film that has surprised fans. The newest detail concerns the age difference between stars Keira Knightley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Hugh Grant Admits His Famous Dance Scene In Love Actually Was 'Absolute Hell'
In the film, Knightley played newlywed Juliet who finds out that her husband’s best friend Mark, played by Andrew Lincoln, has romantic feelings for her. One of the most iconic scenes from the movie featured Mark standing in Juliet’s doorway, quietly expressing his feelings via a series of handwritten cards while Christmas music plays on his boombox.
Another member of the ensemble cast was Brodie-Sangster who played the role of Sam, a middle school student who learns how to play the drums so he can impress his crush, Joanna.
When the movie was released, Brodie-Sangster was 13 and Knightley was 18. Now, they are 29 and 34 respectively, and a viral tweet has fans losing their minds because they can’t believe that the two actors are so close in age.
The tweet featured side-by-side photos of Brodie-Sangster and Knightley from the movie, and the caption read, “Yearly reminder that there is only a five-year age gap between Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Keira Knightley in Love Actually.”
The original tweet has gone viral with thousands of likes and retweets – plus thousands of replies and memes from mind-blown fans – and others have made their own to get the message out.
“I went down the Love Actually rabbit hole and found this out last night!” read one of the replies, about Knightley and Brodie-Sangster. “Also found out that Hugh Grant was 16 years older than Martine McCutcheon, Colin Firth was 16 years older than Lucia Moniz, and Laura Linney was 11 years older than Rodrigo Santoro.”
Last week, Hugh Grant – who played the British Prime Minister in the film – revealed that he thought the famous scene where he danced through 10 Downing Street to Jump (For My Love) by the Pointer Sisters would be “the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid.” The 59-year-old actor added that he dreaded filming the scene, and described it as “absolute hell.”
Grant said he didn’t understand why the movie was still so popular, but he did admit that it was “nice” that watching the movie has become such a beloved Christmas tradition for fans.
The Elder Scrolls Online continues to work on its flawed Activity Finder. Although it went through a complete overhaul, when it went life, there were numerous issues. The Elder Scrolls Online Releases Update On Undaunted Event And Upcoming New Life Festival.
The main issue was that the Activity Finder was using assets from the game, causing significant lag and login issues on the European (EU) mega server.
The ESO team released an update on the status of the Undaunted Event, which was canceled hours after it launched. They initially planned to roll out the event in December but had to push it back once again. The event is now scheduled for sometime next year. Hopefully, this means that the Activity Finder issues will be resolved for the next annual Undaunted Event.
An Undaunted Event is an annual event that has caused players headaches. It relies heavily on the Activity Finder. Those in guilds don’t have to worry about finding a group to take on dungeons. Since ESO works as a single-player or multiplayer MMORPG, many people had to rely on the Group Finder to find a group to fight in delves for valuable loot.
This month wraps up a long year of the Dragon event where gamers collected Event Tickets. These tickets were traded in for various goodies like feathers to evolve the Indrik mount or rare armor styles.
The ESO team is changing up the New Life Festival to offer more event tickets. Bosses drop tickets as normal, but now gamers can receive at least three instead of one. Gamers can gain a total of five tickets a day, which is great because items like Indrik berries cost an average of ten tickets each.
At the end of the year is the annual New Life Festival. Although tickets are the main draw this year, there are also several bonuses. Players can find gift boxes that contain Motif pages, recipes, collectibles, home decor, and more. Gamers can also expect other ESO sales in the in-game Crown store. New items have already been announced, such as the Frost Atronach Crown Crate and Enchanted Slow Globe Home.
An additional bonus is access to Breda’s Bottomless Mead. Drinking it will give players 100% extra XP for two-hours. This bonus is stackable with Experience scrolls, making it a great event to level up new characters.
The Elder Scrolls Online New Life Festival will likely take place within the next few weeks.

Blueprints are overhauling the current crate and key system. Instead of earning a crate, and using a key to unlock it, players will earn Blueprints. The Blueprint will show off what the item is, and then the player can use Credits to build it.
Speaking of keys, they have now been converted to keys; one key will be converted to around 100 Credits, depending on the amount a player has. The minimum is 100 Credits per key and the conversion can go up to 130 Credits per key, if a gamer has over 50 in their inventory.
Credits will also go toward the new Item Shop as well, which can be found in the Main Menu. Gamers can buy extra Credits in the Item Shop menu. 500 Credits will run someone $5, and the more a player buys, the better the deal. For example, 3000 Credits will cost $25 USD, so the gamer is essentially getting an extra 500 Credits.
Rocket Pass 5 is here and with it, 70 new Tiers of rewards for gamers. If players opt-in to the Rocket Pass, they will start at Tier 1, and be rewarded with the anime-styled car Chikara. As players work their way up the Tiers, they will earn rewards like a Bike Rack, Mr. Tubeman, and a Vaporstream.
Tier 70 has the ultimate reward, the Chikara GTX, which is an aesthetic and powerful car, so gamers definitely have something to work towards.
A new competitive season has started for the hardcore Rocket League gamers. Competitive Season 13 will reset things for players, so they’ll need to do placement matches again in different playlists to re-establish their Rank.
There are plenty of bug fixes with this update as well. Once again, if a gamer is interested, check out the link in the embedded tweet to read the entire patch notes.
Rocket League has received a fresh coat of paint with the new Rocket Pass and other features, so check the tread on the tires and get onto the field!
