Love Actually Cast Premiere Red Carpets Then Vs. Now

It’s the 20th anniversary of Love Actually, if you can believe it.

The film was released in November of 2003, where it proved to be a box office hit.

Over the past two decades, the film has become a holiday classic for many, and the film’s success led to a short film sequel in support of Red Nose Day that dropped in 2017.

All these years later, Love Actually is something of a time capsule for its stars, many of whom have gone on to other major projects.

So, in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary, here are 20 cast members at the film’s premieres in 2003 (they had multiple!) and more recent public appearances:
