Love Actually's Joanna – Where is She Now? Spoiler Alert: She's Gorgeous!
It's now 20 years since Love Actually was released, and it's now a staple Christmas movie in many households across the world.
Every December, we see Sam (portrayed by Thomas Brodie-Sangster) playing his drums while his sweetheart, Joanna (Olivia Olson)belts out 'All I Want For Christmas is You' before jetting off to the states.
At the time of recording, Olson was 11 and Brodie-Sangster was just starting his teenage years. Of course, both actors have grown up since then.
Brodie-Sangster is now in his early 30s but has retained a youthful complexion. And Olson, two years younger than Brodie-Sangster has blossomed into a fine-looking young lady.
Since appearing in Love Actually, Olson has only had one other movie part, with a voice role as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz in Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe.
She also recorded a scene in Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the Second Dimension. But that scene didn't make the final edit.
It will come as no surprise that she also voiced Vanessa in the TV show. And she has several other TV credits to her name -including singing on The X-Factor: Celebrity in the UK.
She came 12th in the celebrity special which was won by reality TV star Megan Mckenna.
And she reprised the role of Joanna for a 2017 charity special, Red Nose Day Actually, in which she got back together with some of her Love Actually co-stars, including Brodie Sangster, Hugh Grant, and Liam Neeson.
These days, Olivia Olson is a singer-songwriter and still lives in Los Angeles where she grew up.
Her first album, The Father-Daughter Album of Unspeakable Beauty (with Martin Olson), was self-released in 2013. And that was followed up in 2018 with her second album, Nowhere Land which was released for streaming and download by RoseGold.
She's a verified artist on Spotify with over 21,000 monthly listeners. And she's even released a Christmas single, That Christmas Feeling, which has been downloaded more than 1.3 million times.
If you fancy having a listen to how she sings these days – and getting a few little snippets into her life – she frequently posts on Tik Tok. And she's actually quite funny on there!
And she's pretty active on Instagram where she seems to just love posing for shots everywhere; in the garden, on hilltops with her dogs, in photoshoots, and at the beach.
Naturally, her style choices these days are a little different. But she certainly has a fine array of outfits to choose from.
