, also known as “Love Actually”, is a cult romantic comedy that premiered on big screens in November 2003. Richard Curtis’ directorial debut quickly became a sensation, attracting huge crowds to cinemas. The spectacular success was determined not only by the bittersweet stories and love adventures of the characters, but also by the truly star cast.
Hugh Grant is related to this star. When he found out about it, he was shocked
One of the main characters of the production was the Prime Minister, portrayed on screen by one of the most popular British actors, . Few know that he collaborated on the set with his then 13-year-old relative. We are talking about , who played the role of a charming boy, Sam. It was he who, during a break between shooting, decided to tell the cinema lover about the relationship between them. – I said, “apparently you’re my uncle, cousin or something,” he recalled in the Times of India.
Grant was completely surprised by this confession and initially reacted a bit skeptically, treating the teenager’s words as a joke. Only later, when analyzing individual family members, he discovered that he might actually be right and believed his words. – Then he seemed to remember my mother and uncle, so for the rest of the shoot he walked around and said to me, “Hello, cousin.” “It was pretty cool,” Brodie-Sangster said.
Who are Grant and Brodie-Sangster to each other? They owe their kinship to them
Many wonder what degree the two actors actually have in common. According to the website, Grant’s maternal grandmother, Margaret Isabel Randolph, was the sister of Brodie-Sangster’s maternal great-grandmother, Barbara May Randolph. This means that the stars are second cousins. This would explain why Sam wanted to be in front of the camera from an early age.
Today he is less than 34 years old, and has many other great roles under his belt, including: in “Game of Thrones”, “Star Wars” and “The Queen’s Gambit”. Interestingly, Grant is not the only acting-talented member of his family. Brodie-Sangster’s mother also appeared in many television series, and his father created popular musicals, including: adaptation of “The Lion King”.
