Diane Sawyer’s Love Actually reunion interview cut short as police threaten arrest

The filming of Diane Sawyer’s Love Actually reunion for ABC was interrupted when police threatened to make arrests.

Sawyer was interviewing Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who played lovestruck schoolboy Sam, when a producer was forced to cut it short.

“We have to stop. The police say we don’t have the proper permit, and they’re going to arrest us,” he said, much to the amusement of Brodie-Sangster.

Jumping up, the presenter declares her plan of action: “Now, we run.”

They were chatting on the bench along the Thames where his character had a heart-to-heart with his stepfather, played by Liam Neeson.
