Love Actually is synonymous with Christmas time. Many of us just have to watch the 2003 classic festive film every year or it doesn't feel the same.
The movie was written and directed by Richard Curtis, and received mixed reviews from critics, but despite this it has become a modern day must-watch at Christmas.
Recently, Diane Sawyer hosted an ABC special called The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later, where she caught up with some of the stars of the film.
The movie starred incredibly successful actors and actresses who are still active today – from Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley to Hugh Grant, Colin Firth and Bill Nighty.
But what happened to the other actors who starred in the romantic comedy? Here we take a closer look at what has happened since it premiered in 2003.
Harry - Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman, perhaps most known for going on to star as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, played Emma Thompson's husband in the film.
'Bad Harry' found himself in the doghouse after falling for the charms of Mia and breaking his wife's heart in the process.
But in real life, actor Alan was far from a lothario, staying married to childhood sweetheart Rima Horton until his death in 2016.
Sadly, Alan suffered a minor stroke in August 2015, before doctors discovered he was suffering from pancreatic cancer.
He passed away aged 69 in January 2016.
Sam - Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Now aged 32, Thomas Brodie-Sangster went on to have incredible success as an actor after playing young Sam in Love Actually.
He starred in Nanny McPhee, Nowhere Boy and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and landed the coveted role of Jojen Reed in Game of Thrones.
He is currently dating Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley who he stars in Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols biopic Pistol with.
Thomas later confirmed they hadn't started dating until filming wrapped.
Daniel - Liam Neeson
Liam Neeson played Sam's grieving step-father who is navigating life after his wife died.
Six years later Liam's own life was hit by tragedy when his wife Natasha Richardson died in a freak skiing accident.
She had been taking a beginners ski lesson at the Mont Tremblant Resort near Montreal when she fell and hit her head.
After initially laughing off the incident, she was rushed to hospital in New York after complaining of agonising headaches.
"I was told she was brain dead... She was on life support and stuff," Liam told 60 Minutes in 2014.
"And I went in... and told her I loved her. I said, 'Sweetie, you’re not coming back from this. You've banged your head. It's – I don’t know if you can hear me, but that's – this is what's gone down.'"
She died from an epidural hematoma two days later.
Liam, now 70, went on to be an action star in many thrillers – including Taken, The A-Team, Wrath of the Titans Non-Stop and The Commuter.
In 2019, Liam sparked a race row after opening up about an "inappropriate comment" he made in an interview with the Independent.
While being interviewed for his film Cold Pursuit - he admitted to his violent racist impulse after a relative was raped.
Liam admitted his shame over walking the streets with a cosh hoping he could find "some black b*****d" to kill.
Liam admitted that it was "horrible, horrible" for him to tarnish all men of colour with the same brush and that he was so ready to hurt an innocent person.
Mark - Andrew Lincoln
Andrew Lincoln played the part of Mark, who was hopelessly in love with his best friend's wife Juliet, played by Keira Knightley.
He went on to become a huge Hollywood star thanks to his role as Rick Grimes in blockbuster zombie apocalypse series, The Walking Dead.

Now aged 49, he is also set to appear as Rick in a spinoff of The Walking Dead which is set to be released in 2023.
