Love Actually (2003), written and directed by Richard Curtis, follows a handful of London love stories in the weeks before Christmas. Grant plays a newly elected Prime Minister. After a tense press conference with the US President, he gets back to Downing Street, puts on the radio, and starts dancing: hip shakes, a little point, a sideways shuffle down the hall and a bounce down the stairs, until he is caught mid-move by Natalie, the staffer he has fallen for. It is awkward and joyful in equal measure, which is why it is rewatched and shared every December.

Grant himself famously disliked it. He has said in interviews that he dreaded filming the scene, kept putting off rehearsals and later called it one of the most excruciating things he has done on screen. That self-conscious stiffness is part of why it works, and part of why it is fun to remake: nobody expects you to dance well, only to commit.

If you came here asking how to do the Love Actually dance yourself, the moves are simple: loose knees, small hip wiggles, a two-handed point, a shimmy, and a little jump on the beat of "Jump". Film it in a hallway with a staircase if you have one. If you would rather not perform it at the office party, the AI version gets you the real Downing Street set.

Use a front-facing photo with your shoulders visible; a work headshot is ideal, since the suit is generated for you. The template keeps the original "Jump (For My Love)" audio. ReelMe is not affiliated with the film or its studio.
