If I could do it over again, Richard Curtis wouldn’t actually turn to Keira Knightley in love

It has become the ultimate Christmas comedy. Love Actually is celebrating its 20th anniversary. On this occasion, director Richard Curtis returned to the origins of the film with revelations that surprised more than one. This is how he explained to the media LADbible: this Nov. 27, that if he had to do it over again, he wouldn’t choose Keira Knightley if he had to make the movie today. He elaborates that the English actress was 18 years old at the time, but played the role of a more mature woman in love with older men.

And to back up her regret about the character of Juliet, played by Keira Knightley; “I’m really interested to know if today I’m going to say to myself, ‘Don’t do it,'” he explained. “And really, we probably wouldn’t take someone that young today.” A choice that, given our current software, seems incompatible.

Time standards

True, in the early 2000s, the fact that an 18-year-old woman married a 26-year-old man, Peter, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, shocked no one. “The good thing these days is that everyone is brave enough to say what they find unpleasant and what gives you a filter,” adds Richard Curtis, before continuing: I think he was perfect. But I don’t think he approached his character as a teenager, but as a 23-year-old or so.” And who is getting married? love is all you need A timeless hit by The Beatles
