Love Actually fans refuse to believe Thomas Brodie-Sangster’s age as he marries St Trinian's star Talulah Riley

The British acting duo tied the knot this weekend

A colossal amount of hoo-ha has been made this week following the weekend nuptials of British acting duo Tallulah Riley and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, with many spectators seemingly unable to believe that the latter is old enough to tie the knot at all.

For those who can't seem to pin down exactly which movies they've ever seen the young man starring in, you may have to cast your mind all the way back to 2003.

That's because 21 years ago, a 13-year-old Thomas appeared in Richard Curtis' much-loved festive hit Love Actually as unlucky-in-love schoolboy Sam, who has fallen hopelessly for classmate Joanna.

Remember, he played Liam Neeson's step-son? His mother had just passed away? Yes, there you go!

Anyway, since then, Thomas has gone on to star in countless on screen bangers, including as lead trouble-causer Simon in 2005's Nanny McPhee, as Newt in the action-drama Maze Runner franchise, and as as chess champion Benny Watts in the Netflix miniseries The Queen's Gambit.

And when it comes to his newlywed fellow actress Tallulah, you may also know her from some early noughties British bangers.

Her first screen role came in 2005, after she was cast as Mary Bennett in the Joe Wright-directed adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Despite this being her debut appearance on the silver screen, she gained ever more popularity after landing the central role in chaotic girls' school favourite St Trinian's, all the way back in 2007.

Tallulah went on to appear in the teen-hit's sequel two years later, before landing parts in futuristic thriller Inception in 2010, as well as the HBO's science fiction western series Westworld.

And whilst the most devout of celebrity gossip fans may have known that Thomas and Tallulah had been dating for the last two years, prior to exchanging vows this weekend, others have been blown away by the news.

Little did they know that the loved-up pair had actually met on the film set of Danny Boyle’s Disney+ Sex Pistols drama Pistol back in March 2021, before making their first public appearance together at the BAFTAs last year.

It isn't just the fact that they've wed that has left fans awe-struck - it's Thomas Brodie Sangster's age, being that hoards and hoards of people can't seem to get their head around the fact that the child-star is now 34-years-old.

"wdym thomas brodie sangster is married? isn't he like 12 years old??" one fan wrote on X this week.

Another went on to explain: "That’s Thomas Brodie Sangster and he is 34 years old. His wife Talulah Riley is 38 years old."

"WDYM THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER IS 38 I THOUGHT HE WAS 24 - HOW OLD IS NANNY MCPHEE" a third begged.

"He has such a young face; it’s hard to accept that he is 34," another continued.

News of their engagement came on Saturday after the pair were papped leaving a church in Hertfordshire land in land.

Whilst Tallulah - who was previously married (twice) to Tesla and Twitter boss Elon Musk - could be seen donning a satin white dress with voluminous skirt, paired with a neat bun, Thomas rocked a colourful suit of pinstriped grey trousers and a floral waistcoat.
