In this highly-anticipated movie, Henry takes on the lead role who helps Kate (Emilia Clarke) every time she’s in need, but one thing that’s puzzling is his frequent disappearance. Rumour has it that he might be an angel or a mysterious Christmas creature – but no one knows for sure.
FEMALE: Did you have fun working with Emma Thompson (who is the scriptwriter and plays the role of Kate’s mother) in this movie?
Henry: “Oh yeah, she’s everything you’d hope she would be – motherly and hyperintelligent. She’s very empathetic and tunes in to emotions very well. She can connect with everyone – from the actors to the director, and everybody loves her.”
F: When did you first learn to appreciate her as an actress?
H: “I think the sadness in Love Actually was when I felt heartbroken for her. She was a lovely mother and wife and to be in that situation made my heartbreak for her. She brought that out so well. That was the first time that I really noticed her. And I loved Nanny McPhee, which is comedy genius.”
F: Are there any emotional moments in this film?
H: “Yes! I felt it when I read the initial script. I was in a hotel doing a press con on Crazy Rich Asians, and Emma Thompson came to my hotel and we had lunch together. Poor Paul was on the phone, Face Timing, and he was part of the conversation. We spoke and I loved the script. But there was something in there that I felt strongly about and we agreed to change it. Being in a team which takes creative advice is amazing because at times, people can be very protective over their scripts. So we came up with a great line that sits very well in a romantic comedy.”
