Your support makes all the difference.Kristin Scott Thomas has admitted that she didn’t think Four Weddings and a Funeral was “particularly funny” when it first came out.
The actor may have won a Bafta for her role in Richard Curtis’s 1994 romantic comedy, but revealed while appearing on The Graham Norton Show that she initially thought the film was “a bit of a dud”.
“The only time I saw it I was all by myself in a cinema in Paris where there wasn’t anyone to laugh with, and I didn’t find the jokes particularly funny,” she told Norton, in an episode airing on Friday (23 October).
“But I was then on a plane in days when everyone watched the same film and people were laughing so I thought, ‘Maybe I am mistaken, maybe it’s quite good.’”
Four Weddings and a Funeral marked Curtis’s first collaboration with Hugh Grant, with the supporting cast including Andie MacDowell, Simon Callow and Rowan Atkinson.
The movie took home four Baftas, including for Best Film, while both Grant and Scott Thomas won acting gongs.
Scott Thomas has been nominated for five Baftas throughout her career.
