Emma Thompson: Hugh Grant said Love Actually was the ‘most psychotic’ movie we ever did

Emma Thompson has revealed the stunning remarks made by her co-star during the filming of holiday favourite Love Actually.

It’s almost 20 years since 2003’s festive favourite Love Actually debuted on the big screen.

Now, some of the cast reunited to discuss the legacy of the British film, including stars Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant, in the upcoming screen event, The Laughter & Secrets of Love Actually: 20 Years Later – A Diane Sawyer Special, New York Post reports.

Thompson, 63, revealed in a clip from the special that during filming, Grant, 62, said the movie could possibly be their “most psychotic” flick together.

“Hugh came up behind me as we were walking out and said, ‘Is that the most psychotic thing we’ve ever been in?’” Thompson said in the promo for the special obtained by Entertainment Weekly.

“Did I say that?” Grant asked.

“[It’s about] love and all its messiness and its unexpectedness in that you’ll find love in the weirdest places,” Thompson said.

Other stars from the iconic rom-com who will be appearing in the episode include Bill Nighy, Laura Linney, Olivia Olson and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Writer and director Richard Curtis also stopped by to reflect on his Christmas-themed feature.

Emma Thompson played the wife to late actor Alan Rickman in the Christmas film.

The show will “look at how the film became a beloved Christmas tradition and a global sensation, with new insight into behind-the-scenes secrets and iconic scenes,” according to the outlet.

In a New Yorker interview published on November 7, Thompson also looked back on her time acting with Grant in the 1995 adaptation of the Jane Austen classic Sense And Sensibility, for which Thompson, who penned the script for the movie, won an Oscar for Best Screenplay.

“Hugh Grant was so cross,” she laughed. “He said, ‘You’re going to cry all the way through my speech?’ I said, ‘Hugh, I’ve got to. That’s the gag. It’s funny.’ And he says, ‘Yeah, but I’m speaking.’ I said, ‘I know.’”
