So glad he’s back!
Rowan Atkinson has signed on for the special sequel of Love Actually which is currently being filmed for Comic Relief. We already knew he would be returning but we didn’t know the context.
Now we do, after pictures of him on the new set have surfaced online.
We pick up with Rowan’s character Rufus years later and see him behind the counter of a new shop, Sainsbury’s.
He’s still up to his old fancy ways by the looks of it and overcomplicating the wrapping process.
Saw Rowan Atkinson today in my local #Sainsbury‘s recreating his Love Actually scene for #RedNoseDay. @rednoseday @sainsburys #RowanAtkinson pic.twitter.com/ez1iUAvkx4

Rowan’s most famous scene from the first movie is when he’s wrapping a present for Alan Rickman’s character.
