LONDON -- It's surely one of the most iconic scenes from Love Actually: a hopeful, pre-Walking Dead Andrew Lincoln holding up those giant cards to show Keira Knightley's character Juliet how he really feels about her.
Romantic? Well, maybe. But actually -- when you look at the film as a whole -- it was also a bit weird, wasn't it?
Let's recap: Lincoln plays Mark in Love Actually, a man who obsesses over his best friend's wife from afar. He has a video tape he made of their wedding day, which is literally just footage of Juliet's face, and then -- after she discovers the tape -- he turns up on her doorstep with some mildly creepy homemade signs expressing his love for her.

Yep, definitely a bit creepy.

Now, more than 10 years after the film's release, even Lincoln has admitted his character's behaviour was a bit strange.
"He is a stalker," he said in a recent interview with The Wrap.
"That was my question to Richard Curtis: 'Do you not think we're sort of borderline stalker territory here?' And he said, 'No, no. Not with you playing it, darling.'"

Sorry, Richard -- but we're going to side with Lincoln on this one.
