When 'Love Actually' came out, everyone heralded it as a worthy successor to 'Four Weddings and A Funeral,' and cited it as one of the greatest romantic comedies of its era. Now, several years down the line, people have decided that they're actually not so sure about it. In light of the #MeToo movement, the actions of several of the male characters are somewhat questionable. There are whole websites devoted to picking the movie apart, but it's not just fans who are changing their minds. Andrew Lincoln, who played Mark, is doing the same.
It's those feminist issues that trouble Lincoln. The film's intention is to use the character of Mark to portray unrequited love, but given the way that he hopelessly follows Kiera Knightley's character around for the entire running time, he comes across like a bit of a stalker. He says he raised concerns about this to director Richard Curtis on set, but was ignored.
