We're still very much on a Love Actually high after Richard Curtis' amaaaaaazing Red Nose Day sequel.

Can we just discuss how bloody grown up little Sam is? He's 26. AND ENGAGED. We feel so old.

Sidenote: We don't think we'll EVER get the image of Hugh Grant shaking his booty to Drake's Hotline Bling out of our heads. EVER.

Oh, and then there was this incredible cast photo.

Now, cast member Andrew Lincoln has opened up about his character Mark – ya know, the guy with the semi-romantic/semi-creepy AF cards who declared his love for his best mate's girl? – and turns out he thought he was a bit of a creep.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Andrew revealed: "My big scene in the doorway felt so easy.

"I just had to hold cards and be in love with Kiera Knightley. And that was my own handwriting on the cards, thank you for noticing."

LOL.

He continued: "But I kept saying to Richard [Curtis], 'Are you sure I'm not going to come off as a creepy stalker?'"

Ummmm. Now you mention it.

He also added: "In one of the most romantic movies of all time, I got to play the only guy who doesn’t get the girl.

"The story is set up like a prism looking at all the different qualities of love. Mine was unrequited. So, I got to be this weird stalker guy."

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself, hun.
