22 years after its release, the actors of the film “Love Actually” have reunited. They have done it in the Google Pixel Christmas advertisement, with which the technology company recreates some of the iconic moments of the film, now a classic of the festive season, to highlight the virtues of its smartphones.

Specifically, those who have returned to their roles are the actors Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played the young man who learns to play the drums to win over his schoolmate; and Martine McCutcheon, who played the secretary of the British Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant in the film.

In the spot, titled “It’s Pixel, Actually”, Brodie-Sangster desperately clings to his fame linked to “Love Actually” and during the Christmas days he prowls the banks of the Thames in the hope of being recognized by fans. When they seem to approach him to take photos, it is discovered that, in reality, they are looking at something else.

In this way, Google highlights the camera capacity of its Pixel devices. The spot focuses on the zoom of the Pixel 10 Pro model which, thanks to a telephoto camera, allows up to 100x magnification without compromising image quality. The company claims that it is its furthest and best quality zoom so far.

“Christmas movies hold a unique and cherished place in Brits’ hearts, and nostalgia plays a huge role in what they love most about them.“, commented Eileen Mannion, Vice President of Marketing at Google UK, according to DailyMail. “‘It’s Pixel, Actually’ is our Christmas love letter addressed to them. We recover the magic of those endearing moments and forcefully demonstrate how the Google Pixel 10 allows you to create cinematic and emotionally rich content with incredible detail and clarity”.
