Thomas Brodie-Sangster says classmates tried to “bully” him for being in ‘Love Actually’ – but it didn’t work

Thomas Brodie-Sangster's classmates tried to “bully” him while he was filming 'Love Actually', but he was able to rise above it.

Shooting the movie meant that Brodie-Sangster had to miss sizeable chunks of his school time, which resulted in some of the other kids bullying him. Brodie-Sangster did receive private teaching on the Love Actually set, but as he clarified, the school bullying did not affect him badly. The film was a breakthrough for Brodie-Sangster, leading to him landing a key role in Nanny McPhee alongside Love Actually co-stars Emma Thompson and Colin Firth.
