May 26 (UPI) -- Hugh Grant reprised his prime minister character from 2003's Love Actually and gave a rousing speech in the short sequel that aired as part of Thursday's Red Nose Day fundraiser on NBC.
"Obviously, times for many people have got harder and people are nervous and fearful. And it's not just in politics that things are tough. Piers Morgan is still alive. But, on a deeper level, I'm optimistic. Wherever you see tragedy, you see bravery, too. Wherever you see ordinary people in need, you see extraordinary, ordinary people come to their aid," Grant as Britain's leader told reporters as his wife Natalie, played by Martine McCutcheon, beamed with pride. "Today's Red Nose Day and people are giving their hard-earned cash to people who they'll never meet, but whose pain and fear they feel and want to fight. So, it's not just romantic love, which is all around. Most people still every day, everywhere have enough love in their hearts to help human beings in trouble. Good is going to win. I'm actually sure of it."
