Quiz: which Love Actually character are you?

You’re absolutely outrageous – and easily the most outgoing person in any room, at any given moment. But, while there’s no denying that you’re the life and soul of the party, your loudness is a form of protection; deep down, beneath all your bluff and bravado, you’re an emotional and sensitive soul, who feels things incredibly deeply. No wonder your pals are all so fond of you, eh?

You are, without a doubt, our favourite Love Actually character. Not only are you reliable, trustworthy, and deliciously no-nonsense, but you’re also incredibly funny, too. More importantly, you’re willing to take anything and everything into your stride – lobsters included. While you’re willing to go above and beyond for the ones you love, sometimes people can take advantage of your good nature (we’re looking at you, Alan Rickman). However, they fail to realise how strong you are; a few moments alone with Joni Mitchell, and you’re back on fighting form and ready to take on the world. Maybe it’s time to nudge your brother out of 10 Downing Street and take on the role of Prime Minister, eh?

You may be shy and reserved at first, but, once people get to know you, they fall in love with your wickedly dry sense of humour, your endless optimism, your complexities, your warmth, and your uniqueness. You rarely make mistakes, but, when you do, you dive headfirst into the problem to solve it – and your friends are always in awe of your resilience and inner strength. So what if you’re a little clumsy sometimes? People should make copies, damn it.

Witty, successful, and intelligent, you’re a dream to be sat next to at any dinner party, thanks to your effortless small talk skills. But, while you’re as cool as a cucumber on the outside, things are very different below the surface; worry and anxiety often plague you, and your mind is constantly whirring over all the things you need to do. So, yes, you prefer to do things by the book – but you’re more than willing to break the rules for a good cause. If anyone’s going to stand up to the lions of injustice, it’s you. Also, if you ever fancy carol singing with us some time, just give us a holler – we’re so here for that.

A bright-eyed romantic, you’re willing to do anything and everything to achieve your dreams – even if that means, say, cloistering yourself in your bedroom to learn a brand-new skill. Yes, you’re a little quieter than those around you, but that’s never held you back in life; in fact, almost everyone is in awe of your determination and grit. When you set your mind on something, you always make it happen. And that, my dear, is truly inspirational.

You are a workaholic, true, but you always make time for the ones you love. We bet that you’re the mother hen of your friendship group, thanks to your old soul and sage life advice – and we already know that you’d bend over backwards to help those you love most. No wonder so many of your friends turn to you in their hour of need. Just be sure to make some time for yourself, sometimes; you deserve to be happy too, you know.

Take those devil horns off, please. It’s Christmas, not Halloween.
