Take a look at the 'Love Actually' cast then and now

Love actually is, still, all around.

This holiday season marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved Christmas film "Love Actually," which first debuted in November 2003.

The 2-hour movie follows multiple love stories, most of which take place in the U.K., that overlap and intertwine with one another.

Here's a look back at the actors when the movie was first released, and what the cast looks like now.

Hugh Grant, 63

As the newly minted prime minister of the U.K., Hugh Grant's character David quickly realizes he's falling for young staffer Natalie.

Martine McCutcheon, 47

Aurelia doesn't speak a lick of English, and Jamie doesn't speak Portuguese, but the two have a connection that runs deeper than language.
