"Real Love" has become one of the most successful projects of the actress (after the "Pirates of the Caribbean"). After the release in 2003, the Christmas novel, telling several romantic stories, became one of the main Christmas films in Britain. In an interview with Sun, Kira was asked why this film was so successful. However, the actress, as it turned out, saw him only once and the cause of the success of the tape is especially not interested.
I have no idea. I watched it only once at the premiere. So I can not say why all it loves to look at Christmas,
- answered Knightley.
However, for the audience, the popularity of "real love" is fully explained. At a minimum, due to the first-class acting. In addition to Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant starred in the film, Emma Thompson, Liam Nison and Alan Rickman.
By the way, in 2017 a short nose day actually came out (Red Nose Day Actually), which became a continuation of "real love". The film was released as part of a charity event and tells how the life of the heroes of "real love" after 13 years. In the short filming, the same actors were starred, with the exception of Alan Rickman, who died in 2016, and his on-screen spouse Emma Thompson.
