People are only just realising Hugh Grant is related to famed Love Actually co-star - and he only found out on set


People have only just realised that Hugh Grant is actually related to one of his Love Actually co-stars.

The teenager played Sam in the movie and his sub-plot was one of the film's most heart-warming, heeding the advice of his stepfather ( Liam Neeson) to tell his school crush how he felt. He was nominated for a Golden Satellite Award for his portrayal of Sam in the 2003 Christmas movie, earning him more opportunities in the noughties including the chance to play Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy. Thomas put in a popular display as Jojen Reed in critically-acclaimed HBO drama Game Of Thrones before starring as Newt in the Maze Runner trilogy.
