The scene happened when hopeless romantic Mark, played by ‘The Walking Dead’ star Andrew Lincoln, confessed his love to Knightley’s character, Juliet, as her husband and Mark’s best friend Peter, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, sat in the next room. 

In the two-time Golden Globe-nominated film, Mark showed up at the couple’s door and used cue cards to confess his love to Juliet while playing the song “Silent Night” under the guise of Christmas Carolers. 

The large love notes read in part “Let me say, without any hope or agenda, just because it’s Christmas (and at Christmas you tell the truth) to me you are perfect.”

In a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Keira Knightley revealed that fans still reference the cue card moment with her and shared a particularly memorable example involving a group of construction workers.

“I was stuck in traffic for ages recently and a car full of builders next to me started holding up the signs like in the movie,” she said, according to People.

As for how she felt about the encounter, Knightley said it was pretty much like the moment in the movie.

“It was creepy and sweet at the same time, much like it was in the film,” she said.
