Emma Thompson (pictured) has revealed that she still has deep feelings about her role in the classic romantic comedy Love Actually<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Yes, you remember the feelings you had at the time,’ she tells this week’s Stellar Magazine. <\/p>\n

Thompson previously revealed that she was so convincing in the film as a result of personal experience \u2013 having her heart ‘very badly broken’ by her first husband Kenneth Branagh.<\/p>\n

Once the golden couple of British cinema, dubbed Ken and Em, they split after eight years together when he began an affair with Helena Bonham Carter.<\/p>\n

‘That scene where my character is standing by the bed crying is so well known because it’s something everyone’s been through’, she said.<\/p>\n

‘I had my heart very badly broken by Ken. So I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn’t meant for me.<\/p>\n

‘Well it wasn’t exactly that, but we’ve all been through it.’ <\/p>\n

Love Actually was written and directed by Curtis and premiered in November 2003 to mixed reviews from critics.<\/p>\n

But it was well received by audiences and has since become a modern-day Christmas classic.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the Stellar interview, Thompson reveals her most ‘terrifying’ role is her most recent, in the upcoming film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical. <\/p>\n

The Cruella star had to stand on a high platform to shoot CGI scenes and she was left very flustered. <\/p>\n

‘I’ll remember being 80 feet [24 metres] up on that structure and looking down, and all the kids were down there,’ she recalls.<\/p>\n

‘They were going, ‘You’ll be all right’. My legs were shaking and we were all singing live. For me, it was such an exciting thing to do, but also terrifying.<\/p>\n

‘So that’s what’s going to stay with me from Matilda The Musical’ the Late Night actress said. <\/p>\n

Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical will be streaming on Netflix from December 25. <\/p>\n
