This was the real ‘Love Actually,'” they wrote, referring to the 2003 film in which Grant plays the British Prime Minister. The published pictures show the actor handing out plates, shaking hands and interacting with seniors at the event in London.
In one another post at X It was reported that guests were able to enjoy a Christmas dinner at the Novotel Hotel with live music and received gift bags filled with Christmas treats to take home.
