....the scene with American Pres Billy Bob Thornton hitting on the Prime Minister's assistant - foreshadowing for our next four years? Ick.
shareLol. Just watched that scene and thought the same thing. Haha
shareThe Billy Bob version of the POTUS in Love Actually is sadly a toned down and very mild version of Trump.
I am still in a state of shock. I thought the Bush family was the worst thing that could happen.
DAMN I was wrong.
I thought I was the only one still in a state of shock, lol.
shareRichard Curtis is on the record as stating that Billy Bob's POTUS was definitively inspired by Bill Clinton.
shareand by Bush II. The US president is sort of an amalgamation of the two men. The political dealings between the pres and the PM are modeled after Bush and Blair. Blair was referred to in the press and by many Brits as “Bush’s poodle”; the film is meant to portray that. (Blair had a very good working relationship with Clinton, as equals.)
shareInspired by Trump? A decade or more before anybody imagined Trump would be president? Thornton's character is obviously inspired by Bill Clinton. I think the film's makers have even stated that.
shareYou read my mind.
shareI watched the movie last night ans thought the same thing!! It has Trump all over it.
shareObviously based on Clinton, but you idiots blame everything on Trump.
shareBilly Bob was playing Bill Clinton while channeling James Carville
