Keira Knightley acknowledges she should watch 'Love Actually': 'It's just a bit weird'

It's the time of year yet again to curl up on the couch and cue up Love Actually, for most of us anyway.

Keira Knightley starred as Juliet in Richard Curtis' Christmas romantic comedy, but she acknowledged to Entertainment Weekly that she has "not watched the film again" since its 2003 release. "I must watch the film, I know," the two-time Oscar nominee said. "It's just very odd watching films that you're in! It's just a bit weird!"

Perhaps most importantly, Knightley confirmed that Juliet ends up staying with her husband, Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor), despite the fact that his best friend, Mark (Andrew Lincoln), professes his love to her on Christmas Eve in the now-iconic below scene:

This is an especially notable clarification from Knightley because she previously caused a fuss in 2018 because she didn't remember whether Juliet ended up with Peter or Mark because she'd seen the movie only once:

Love Actually also starred the A-list likes of Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Laura Linney and Bill Nighy.

Knightley can next be seen in Silent Night. Watch the trailer below.
