Keira Knightley was pictured filming Love Actually's Comic Relief for the first time with Chiwetel Ejiofor, [Peter] and Andrew Lincoln, [Mark].

The 31-year-old movie star, who plays Juliet, was pictured filming with her onscreen husband AND his best friend, leading viewers to wonder how their story has developed, the Daily Mail reports.

In the original movie, Keira's character is convinced her husband's pal Mark, [Lincoln], can't stand her, until she discovers the wedding he made which features solely on her.

It's only then she realises he is actually in love with her. He later turns up her house with the cards, telling her: "To me, you are perfect."

 

They then kiss and he says, "Enough now, that's enough now," as he leaves her to get on with married life.  

Andrew Lincoln could be seen nearby during filming, while director Richard Curtis hovers close to him.

The sighting follows Richard Curtis's words during a recent interview with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain.

He said: "Someone's died, someone's got lots of kids, someone's been voted out of office and voted back into office."

Also pictured filming during the last few weeks, were Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon, whose characters David and Natalie are now married.

During a break from filming, Hugh, who plays the Prime Minister told the camera: "It's going very badly. I can't remember my lines or the character. Everyone hates me."

Colin Firth, who plays Jamie, was spotted on the set of the eagerly awaited Love Actually sequel at the BBC Langham Place Piazza in central London last week.

The Oscar winner beamed as he reprised his character Jamie, the English would-be novelist who fell in love with Aurelia, his Portuguese housekeeper.

And 64-year-old Liam Neeson, [Daniel] was pictured with his onscreen stepson Thomas Brodie-Sangster [Sam], who is now 26, filming in London's Southbank, along with Olivia Olsen, [Joanna].

Emma Thompson has ruled out a part in the Comic Relief special as she can find "no comedy" since the death of her co-star, Alan Rickman.

She told PA: "It's too soon. It's absolutely right because it's supposed to be for Comic Relief but there isn't much comic relief in the loss of our dear friend really only just over a year ago."
