Hugh Grant found the iconic Love in Love dance scene actually “terrible.”

In the Love Actually 20th Anniversary Special With Diane Saywer, the entire cast looks back on the most special moments from the movie. The dance scene, of course, was not left unchanged. Remarkably, Hugh wasn’t excited at first when he heard about the scene. “I saw it on the script and really thought: I hate having to do that. I didn’t really like it at all, let alone having to rehearse it first.”

Director and writer Richard Curtis reveals that if it had been up to Hugh, the scene would never have happened. “He kept saying no. He was really hoping we’d say, too bad, but then we’ll just let that scene go.” However, Richard stands his ground and this means he ends up with an angry Hugh. “But yeah, he had to. It was in his contract.”

Hugh looks back shyly. “I also have no sense of rhythm at all. I’m just wrong, especially when I’m shaking my buttocks at first.” However, Richard is overjoyed when he sees Hugh get it all out. “It was awkward but perfect at the same time.”
