Christmas isn't Christmas without a feel-good flick and this year the heartwarming festive rom-com Love Actually turns 20. We find out what the stars have been up to since 2003

Liam Neeson & Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Liam captured hearts as Daniel, the newly widowed dad of lovesick 11-year-old Sam, played by Thomas. Thomas is now 33 and this year announced his engagement to Westworld actress and Elon Musk's ex-wife Talulah Riley, 38 After Love, Actually, he went on to bag parts in blockbusters, including Nowhere Boy, Game of Thrones and The Maze Runner. For Liam, tragically, life imitated art. After playing a grieving widower, in 2009 he became one when his wife of 15 years, actor Natasha Richardson, died after a skiing accident in Canada, aged 45. "Plenty of times I've thought about this film and my own life," reflects Liam, 71.
Hugh Grant
"I thought, "That's going to be the most excruciating scene ever committed to celluloid," Hugh said of his now famous dance scene, adding, "I'm proud of the fact I did it without any stimulants." Hugh, 63, already had a string of top-rating films behind him when he stepped into the shoes of the lonely-for-love prime minister in Love Actually. He was also a notoriously eligible bachelor, but at 51, he became a first-time dad, sharing daughter Tabitha and son Felix with former flame Tinglan Hong, 44, and three more youngsters, aged between five and 11, with his Swedish TV producer wife Anna Eberstein, 40.
