Keira Knightley remembers being simply an adolescent when she filmed the “creepy” scene in 2003’s Love Truly.
To me, you’re…creepy. It’s one factor to point out up at a girl’s home unannounced whereas her husband is inside. However it’s one other factor fully to take action with hand-written cue playing cards declaring your love for her. To assume, this was as soon as thought-about some of the romantic scenes in any Christmas film. However at the moment, that second in Love Truly stands as peak creep, as its goal, Keira Knightley, has no drawback stating.
As the vacations close to, Love Truly might be on many-a Christmas film creation calendar, what with the romance of the season hitting everyone from love-struck youngsters to adulterous husbands. However its most well-known scene nonetheless stays its most eyebrow-raising for a number of causes. As Knightley – who performed Juliet, the article of Andrew Lincoln’s affection – informed The Los Angeles Instances, “The slightly stalkerish aspect of it — I do remember that. My memory is of [director] Richard [Curtis], who is now a very dear friend, of me doing the scene, and him going, ‘No, you’re looking at [Lincoln] like he’s creepy,’ and I’m like [in a dramatic whisper], ‘But it is quite creepy.’ And then having to redo it to fix my face to make him seem not creepy.”
In order that’s one factor, however Keira Knightley – who was developing sizzling within the business with Bend It Like Beckham and that summer time’s Pirates of the Caribbean – took one other subject fully. “I mean, there was a creep factor at the time, right? Also, I knew I was 17. It only seems like a few years ago that everybody else realized I was 17.”
Knightley isn’t alone in her analysis of that Love Truly scene. Along with a wealth of articles written in regards to the “ick factor”, the film’s director can’t assist however admit that that scene is dated and off-putting.
As for a way that scene panned out for Lincoln’s Mark, Juliet didn’t ditch her husband for him, however she did chase him down and plant one on him, thus making one more untrue partner in Love Truly. Ah, vacation romance!
