Keira Knightley has branded the iconic declaration of love sign scene in Love Actually ‘creepy and sweet’ – 21 years on from the film being released.

The actress, 39, starred as Juliet in the movie where one memorable scene sees her new husband’s best friend declare his love for her while masquerading as a group of carol singers.

Character Mark played by Andrew Lincoln turns up unannounced at her London house and held up a series of signs saying how much he loves her – while her boyfriend Peter is sat upstairs. 

Reflecting on the moment now she said on The Graham Norton show this week: ‘I was stuck in traffic for ages recently and a car full of builders next to me started holding up the signs like in the movie. 

‘It was creepy and sweet at the same time, much like it was in the film!’

Back in 2018 Keira admitted that she has only seen Love Actually once since its theatrical release in 2003 and doesn’t actually remember who her character ends up with.

Speaking in a video interview with Wired, alongside Mackenzie Foy, the star seemed perplexed as she asked: ‘Who do I end up with?’

Keira was asked in the video: ‘Who does Keira Knightley end up with in Love, Actually?’

The star seemed confused as she turned to her The Nutcracker and the Four Realms co-star and asked: ‘I’m with my husband, aren’t I? Aren’t I with Chiwetel Ejiofor?

‘I’ve only seen it once, and it was a really long time ago. So I don’t go off with Andrew Lincoln?’ she asked.

In the original movie, Keira’s character is convinced her husband’s pal Mark, [Lincoln], can’t stand her.

It is until she discovers a video of her wedding to Peter [Ejiofor] which he made and features solely on her.   

He later turns up her house with the cards, telling her: ‘To me, you are perfect’

They then kiss and he says, ‘Enough now, that’s enough now,’ as he leaves her to get on with married life.

Love Actually follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London. 

She said on The Graham Norton show this week: ‘I was stuck in traffic for ages recently and a car full of builders next to me started holding up the signs like in the movie. It was creepy and sweet at the same time, much like it was in the film!’

The actress has reflected on her iconic noughties fashion in a new interview on Sunday where she declared: ‘It was all about my midriff!’

She was known for wearing tiny tops, low slung denim and skinny scarves after bursting into the spotlight in her late teens. 

One of her most famous roles also includes playing Juliette in the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham where she was often seen wearing a sports bra.

She told The Times that she recently saw a group of teenage girls on the tube wearing a similar style and thought: ‘I was like, ‘Hang on, are they my clothes?’ 

‘I don’t have the midriff any more, so it’s not coming out.’

The Atonement star, is married to musician James Righton, 41, and the couple share children Edie, nine, and Delilah, four. 

Since having kids she told how she has a much more practical style and loves her Dr Martens boots more than anything.

In the original movie, Keira’s character is convinced her husband’s pal Mark, [Lincoln], can’t stand her 

She told the publication: ‘I’ve got a brown pair and a black pair, and it’s very hard to ever take them off. I’ve no idea how to walk in heels any more.’

Keira was speaking to the publication to promote her new series Black Doves.

Last month Black Doves released its first trailer for the upcoming Netflix series which sees Keira and Sarah Lancashire take on leading roles as spy and spymaster.
