Keira Knightley Reflects on 'Creepy' Cue Card Scene in 'Love Actually'

The actor, who was 17 during filming, discusses the scene's lasting controversy and her initial discomfort with its tone.

Keira Knightley described the iconic cue card scene in 'Love Actually' as having a 'slightly stalkerish' aspect during a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Knightley, who was 17 at the time of filming, recalled being directed to adjust her reaction to make Andrew Lincoln's character appear less 'creepy.'
Director Richard Curtis and Andrew Lincoln have both acknowledged concerns about the scene, with Curtis admitting he now finds it 'a bit weird.'
The scene, where Lincoln's character silently confesses his love for Knightley's married character, has been debated for its romantic versus inappropriate undertones.
Despite the controversy, Knightley expressed pride in the film's enduring popularity and noted its unexpected resurgence years after its release.
