Keira Knightley Says Famous Cue Cards in Love Actually Were ‘Creepy and Sweet at the Same Time'

Keira Knightley still gets stopped on the streets and reminded of her biggest rom-com moment.

On Friday, Nov. 29, the actress revealed that she recently came face-to-face with a group of construction workers holding up clue cards — just like her co-star Andrew Lincoln did in Love actually.

“Recently I was stuck in traffic for ages and a car full of builders next to me started holding up signs like in a movie,” Knightley, 39, joked on The Graham Norton Show.

“It was creepy and cute at the same time, just like in the movie.”

Mother-of-two Knightley, who is married to rock star Jamie Righton, was on the show to talk about her new spy thriller black pigeons, which included her filming multiple stunt scenes.

“Originally wonderful Ben [Whishaw]who’s an assassin, he was shooting a bunch of guns so I thought, ‘Great, I don’t have to do anything but look ‘spy,'” she told Norton.

Keira Knightley recalls the ‘trauma’ of constant speculation she had an eating disorder: ‘It’s a public shame, isn’t it?’

“Then on the second draft, I’m shooting a gun, but that’s still not bad,” she added. “Then all of a sudden I’m into knife fighting and Ju-Jits.”

“So we went from being easy and nice to a lot of struggle and a lot of training.”

Singer and actress Cher was also on the chat show and talked about her relationship with Sonny Bony, with whom she rose to fame as a singing duo in the 1960s.

“We had a strange relationship and when I found out that he and his lawyer owned everything and I was just an employee, I said I wanted to be 50/50 partners or I would leave,” she told Norton.

“I didn’t want to leave, but I couldn’t be under that contract – I didn’t have the money,” the music icon added. “There’s no bitterness towards Sonny. I was mad at him, but I just couldn’t be mad at him. We were friends until he died.”

Cher added that she then sought advice from TV actress Lucille Ball on how to get out of the partnership.

“I didn’t know what to do and it was hard for me to leave,” she said. “Lucy was on TV and she was part of a couple, so I went up to her and she said, ‘y… he, you’re the one with the talent!’ ”

As for her career, Cher was asked if she would release another album after she finishes promoting her memoir, Cher: Memoirs, Part One.

“We start working on the final album once I get rid of the book!” she said to Norton.

“I did a good job at Christmas and I pray I can stick it out. You’re not meant to sing at this age and I hope I can do it and hit the notes.”
