'Creepy And Sweet': Keira Knightley On Fans Recreating Love Actually’s Cue Card Scene
Keira Knightley, who will next be seen in the Netflix spy-thriller series Black Doves revealed that she underwent training to execute fight sequences in the show.
Keira Knightley’s 2003 film Love Actually hit the right chords among cinephiles. Even after more than a decade of its release, the masses still remind the actress of one iconic scene from the romantic comedy. Knightley revealed it herself during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show on November 29. The particular sequence showcased Andrew Lincoln’s character confessing her feelings to Knightley’s Juliet by holding cue cards for her. Now, Knightley shared a special anecdote disclosing that a group of construction workers recreated the gesture for her while she was stuck in the traffic.
“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," told Keira Knightley to the host. Knightley attended the chat show as a part of her promotions for Black Doves.
