The die-hard fans of popular film Love Actually are now in disbelief after getting to know the age gap between its actors Keira Knightley and Thomas ...

For the unversed, Keira Knightley is now 37 years old, while her Love Actually co-star Thomas Brodie-Sangster is 32. A fan, who found this age-gap between Keira Knightley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster problematic, took to Twitter and wrote: "Just did a quick Wiki. The segment revolves around Sam's attempts to garner Juliet's attention, and how Daniel supports him. The boy slowly develops a massive crush on his much-elder, married classmate Juliet, played by Keira Knightley. The actors, who played the roles of classmates with a major age gap, actually had an age gap of just 5 years. And was getting married to a bloke in his late 20s. He lives with his stepfather Daniel, who tries his best to take care of young Sam. I researched it and now I think that you have rigged the internet to lie to me," wrote another netizen. "Yearly reminder that there is only a five-year age gap between Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Keira Knightley in Love Actually," reads her tweet. Her post immediately went viral with over 19,000 retweets and 1.1 Lakh likes, on the renowned social media platform. Keira Knightley, who played Sam's married classmate Juliet, was actually just 18 when she shot for the film. However, the fans of the actors are now left in shock, after getting to know about the real age gap between them.
