It's one of the best remembered moments in a movie we haven't stopped talking about for 14 years: Hugh Grant, as the British prime minister, dancing through 10 Downing Street in Love Actually.

In an interview with PeopleTV, Grant pointed out that the sequence doesn't technically make sense.
I kept saying to Richard [Curtis, director], 'Okay, look. I've got the radio on in my room, my bedroom. And I'm dancing, fine. But then I start to dance through the whole of 10 Downing Street. Where's the music coming from? And how does it cut off at the end?'
Curtis' reply? "Oh, don't worry about all that. It's film world."
Thing is, they're both right. Grant is correct that the film never properly explains how the music situation works. But Curtis is correct not to worry. We say this because after 14 years and countless rewatches, we ourselves have never once stopped to wonder where the music is coming from. Movie magic!
In retrospect, it seems like this goof could've been fixed pretty easily with a pair of white earbuds. An iPod would've explained where the music was coming from, why he was so oblivious, andhow the song stopped so abruptly once he noticed he was being watched. (Plus, Love Actuallybelongs to the same era as those iPod silhouette ads, so it would've fit right in with the times.)
Then again, it didn't matter anyway. Up until now, we thought this clip was pure perfection – and honestly, we still do. Carry on, Curtis.
Moreover, none of this had to do with Grant's realproblem with the scene, which is exactly what you think: "The major consideration was just the idea of me having to freak out without a drink inside me, at seven in the morning, in front of a grumpy crew."
Well, we're just glad Grant got over it, because the result was a perfect moment of cinematic joy to be treasured forever. Even if it doesn't actuallymake any sense.
