Love Actually is one of our all-time favorite Christmas movies!
But like most fans, we’re still not entirely sure about what happened to the relationship of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman) at the end of the film — until now!
Director Richard Curtis attended a midnight screening of the film with his family on Saturday, seeing his film in the theaters for the first time since the 2003 premiere!
Curtis’ partner Emma Freud, who was a script editor for the film, live-tweeted the festive viewing and disclosed information about filming the holiday hit — even revealing what actually happened at the end!

In the movie, Harry cheats on his wife Karen with his secretary Mia. Karen finds out, but their relationship is left on an ambiguous note, and we weren’t sure if they stayed together at the end!
But according to Freund, the couple does actually stay married! She responded to a fan on Twitter:
@JPerlstrom they stay together but home isn’t as happy as it once was.

The co-writer also clarified that Rickman’s character does have a full fledged affair, sharing:
@carlotta429 DEFINITELY had an affair. i begged richard just to make it a flirtation, but no. the whole way.

Freund also revealed other insights about the film, including Martin Freeman‘s intimate scenes being a stand-in for a porno and January Jones‘ improv!

Richard only called colin firth’s character ‘jamie’ so the kids could say ‘I hate uncle jamie’. His brother is called jamie. #LoveActually

Originally Rowan’s character over-wrapped the gift on purpose to stop Alan rickman being able to buy the necklace. Because he was an angel.

I ‘designed’ the kiss between colin firth and the Portuguese girl. My signature move? His thumb on her lip before they snog. #boom
