'Said It To His Face': 'Love Actually' Star Has Big Problem With 1 Key Character
HuffPost
Chiwetel Ejiofor said some people think this character "should have been arrested."
British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor said he agrees with fan criticism that his on-screen best friend in “Love Actually” probably isn’t much of a friend at all.
“I may be biased, I may not be the jury, but I’ve said it to his face,” he told ComicBook.com.
In the 2003 holiday classic, Peter ― played by Ejiofor ― marries Juliet (Keira Knightley). Peter’s pal Mark (Andrew Lincoln) is secretly in love with Juliet, leading to a memorable scene in which he confesses to her via a series of cue cards, unbeknownst to Peter.
“I think if there was a conversation between the two of them afterwards, it could become heated,” Ejiofor told the website.
Some fans find romance in the hopeless and (probably) unrequited love. Some see closure as he accepts the situation. Others find it creepy. Lincoln himself suggested it could be “borderline stalker” behavior.
