What is 'Love Actually' about? Pain and suffering, according to Hugh Grant's wife

Hugh Grant is just like us: ringing in the holiday season by "drunkenly" watching "Love Actually."

In a Tuesday interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, Grant recalled viewing his 2003 holiday film earlier this year with his wife, Anna Eberstein, who profoundly reflected on the movie's themes of love and heartbreak. Grant portrayed David, a fictional prime minister of the United Kingdom who develops feelings for a member of his staff (Martine McCutcheon), in the classic romantic comedy.

"I did drunkenly watch a bit of 'Love Actually' a few months ago with my wife, and she was the one who said ... 'It's all about pain. It's all about suffering,' " he told Sawyer during "The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later."
