Joanna Page's incredible career from Love Actually to acting ... (WalesOnline)

The Welsh actress, 45, was a shy child, but found her feet when her mother sent her to drama classes to bring her out of her comfort zone. Ever since, acting ...

[she told the i paper in an interview](https://inews.co.uk/culture/film/joanna-page-on-love-actually-its-a-flipping-film-sometimes-we-take-things-too-seriously-2037151): "I absolutely love being a mum and I like being surrounded by all this noise and busyness. The couple's paths crossed when Joanna went to audition for a play at the National Theatre, and had promised to meet up with an actress friend who was appearing in a production of The Cherry Orchard there. "And James watched it at the same time, and said he fell in love with me! "Then I realised who it was, and watched him for four hours on stage that evening, and thought he was gorgeous. And going from one to two was the biggest shock to the system. I used to watch him on Playing the Field, and thought he was adorable." She previously told The Mirror of her reasoning behind her new found career: "I really enjoy presenting and it works a lot better with a family as you don't have to go away for weeks on end." It was weird to find out that this other person has felt the same way about you for three years. Joanna trained for a career in the arts at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts) before she made her screen debut in 1999 as a servant in Miss Julie - the same year she met her husband James Thornton, with whom she has four children. They had no scenes together and didn't meet until three years after the show aired. And this year, in September, Soon after, she was working with some of Hollywood's finest - and no, we're not talking about Love Actually just yet.
