Zodiac Signs as "Love Actually" Characters—Which One Are You? (StyleCaster)

In honor of love, Christmas & holiday season, here's the "Love Actually" character you are, according to your zodiac sign in astrology:

And in the midst of grieving the loss of his mother, young Sam develops a deep and undying crush for a young American girl in his class. This woman is a superwoman when it comes to being a stay-at-home mom and Capricorns are also used to being the eternal provider without ever expecting anything in return. Oh, and Mark’s way of confessing his love to Juliet without ever uttering the words out loud is peak Scorpio behavior, as each moment a Scorpio feels vulnerable is a moment they feel their strength is being taken from them. The coolest character in Love Actually would have to be Billy Mack, which is enough to make him a Sagittarius. Let this be a reminder to every Aquarius who’s silencing their own needs over the holidays for the sake of peace—you deserve happiness too! In fact, he was willing to ring every doorbell in the dodgy end of Wandsworth just to confess his love to her in time for Christmas! This cardinal air sign certainly has an “air” for diplomacy, which explains why he was able to put the President of the United States in his place and inspire feelings of patriotism in his fellow countrymen. And little does he know, she was learning how to speak English all along, which is proof that this love story is as stable, graceful and patient as a Taurus is in person. Aries is the bravest zodiac sign of them all and their innate ability to follow their gut instinct without hesitation takes them far. As he takes all the time and necessary care he needs to gift-wrap the necklace his client was actually purchasing for another woman, he just gets more immersed in the process. After all, you’re ruled by the sun, which explains the natural way this fixed fire sign has a way of glowing. Get comfortable, because as young Sam once said, there’s nothing worse than “the total agony of being in love”.

Northern Ireland golfing star Rory McIlroy has taken part in a humourous Love Actually style sketch ahead of the Christmas weekend.

McIlroy also recorded top-10 finishes in all four Majors in the same year for the first time in his career, including a couple of near misses at The Masters and The Open as he looks to end his Major drought that stretches back to 2014. Not only did the 33-year-old return to the top of the world rankings, he also won three times in 2022 and became only the second player to win both the FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai in the same year. It has been a positive 2022 for the Holywood golfer who last week was crowned the Association of Golf Writers (AGW) Golfer of the Year.

And she was so thrilled for me when I won the part in Love Actually.” It was always the plan that she would move on. She explained: “I was ecstatic when I won the part and over the years, as people have rewatched it and rewatched it, it’s become part of everyone’s hearts. “I have such nostalgic feelings about it and I think a lot of the criticism is too harsh. “I think all kids feel awkward at times and for me it was heightened by being the only black kid in a cookie-cutter suburb and being adopted and then, all of a sudden, I was famous. “I was more into my friends and school and being a teenager than trying to work, work, work. “I was already the new kid at school and I was the only mixed-race kid in an area that was very white. “By the time the film came out I was 12 years old and in middle school — and that’s when I had all the attention. “I realised that my heart was not in it at that time. She said: “I was away from my school for so long filming Love Actually and when I came back it was like, ‘Oh, you’re a celebrity now’. “It’s not my story to tell — even though it got me here — but she was a runaway from Florida and did not have a great upbringing.
