Hugh Grant Danced to Drake’s Hotline Bling’ in the Love Actually Reunion and the Internet Loved It
The much-anticipated Love Actually reunion premiered in the U.K. on Friday and Hugh Grant stole the show.
The mini-sequel featured return appearances from popular stars like Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Andrew Lincoln and even a new cast member - Kate Moss - but it was the film’s lead actor, Grant, who truly made the Internet swoon.
In one segment during the 12-minute short, Grant recreates his iconic Love Actually dance sequence - this time grooving to Drake’s 2015 smash hit, “Hotline Bling.”
