Then & Now: See 'Love Actually' Kids 20 Years Later
Can you believe it's been 20 years since "Love Actually" first graced our screens, filling our holiday season with a blend of love, laughter, and a few tears?
From stand-up comedy to composing music, these former child stars are all grown up and here's the scoop on where they are now.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster, once the lovelorn drummer boy Sam, has drummed his way into a flourishing acting career with roles in high-profile projects like "Game of Thrones " and "The Queen's Gambit." Meanwhile, Olivia Olson, our beloved Joanna with the voice of an angel, took her talents to the recording studio and the animation world. And who can forget the first lobster in the school play? Lulu Popplewell, who now finds her iconic film a tad cheesy, is making audiences laugh with her stand-up routines across the UK. Let's not forget the other memorable characters – William Wadham, the music maestro behind Bernie; Billy Campbell, who donned an octopus costume and now stays away from the limelight; and the Curtis siblings, Jake and Scarlett, who have chosen paths divergent from their "Love Actually" days.
As we peek into their lives, it's truly heartwarming to see the paths these "Love Actually" kids have taken. While some have stayed in the spotlight, continuing to dazzle us in the entertainment world, others have followed their hearts to completely new and diverse passions.
