Some celebrities are like fine wines – they just keep getting better with age – and Colin Firth is testament to that.

Seriously, Love Actually script editor Emma Freud just shared a picture of Colin Firth and his 2003 film sweetheart, Lúcia Moniz – and they look EXACTLY the same.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

And Liam Neeson's still wearing that same old turtleneck too...

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll probably know by now that there's going to be a Love Actually sequel – for Comic Relief.

Yep, to celebrate Red Nose Day 2017 Richard Curtis will be penning a new script – and although it won't be a full film (10 minutes to be exact), most of the original cast members will reprise their roles.

Take a deep breath…

Joining Liam, Colin and Lucia are Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson, Bill Nighy, Marcus Brigstocke AND Rowan Atkinson.

You can breathe now.

Sadly, the 10-minute Red Nose Day special won't feature an Alan Rickman tribute – nor will Emma Thompson be making an appearance.

Speaking about reuniting with the cast for Red Nose Day Actually, Richard Curtis said: "Over the years I've enjoyed doing Red Nose Day specials of TV things I've worked on – Blackadder, The Vicar of Dibley and Mr Bean.

"It seemed like a fun idea this year to do a special sketch based one of my films, since Red Nose Day is now in both the UK and America. I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to.

"Who has aged best? – I guess that's the big question... or is it so obviously Liam?"

He added: "We've been delighted and grateful that so many of the cast are around and able to take part – and it'll certainly be a nostalgic moment getting back together and recreating their characters 14 years later.

"We hope to make something that'll be fun – very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day – and which we hope will help bring lots of viewers and cash to the Red Nose Day shows."
