And I don’t think she reads in the film as being a teenager, I think she reads as being about 23.
But it’s interesting that they were far apart.”Last month, Curtis reflected on the portrayal of women and lack of diversity in his past films, where he also called out the use of fat jokes in Love Actually.“I remember how shocked I was five years ago when [his daughter] Scarlett said to me, ‘You can never use the word ‘fat’ again.’ Wow you were right,” Curtis said. “In my generation calling someone chubby [was funny] – in Love Actually there were jokes about that.

Way back in 1940, in “The Thief of Bagdad,” Rex Ingram played Djinn, the movie’s larger-than-life genie — 100 feet tall in his ponytail and red diaper — as a sly, laughing soul man of lighthearted effrontery.
