You will NOT believe what Joanna from Love Actually looks like now

Now that the Late Late Toy Show's over, it's time to shamelessly fill the void by watching tonnes of Christmas films.

And first on our list this weekend is Love Actually.

One of the most memorable moments from the Richard Curtis Christmas classic has to be little Joanna's rendition of All I Want For Christmas Is You, and we cannot get over how much she has grown up.

The film was released 12 years ago, after all, but even so, we were totally taken aback when we saw this.

Just look at the 23-year-old now…

Since starring in the festive rom-com, Olivia has had a few acting and singing roles, but she is mainly known for her voiceover work.

The actress voices Vanessa Doofenshmirtz on the Disney Channel comedy Phineas and Ferb, and is also the actress behind Marceline the Vampire Queen on Adventure Time.

In a cute coincidence (or fate trying to tell her something?), one of Olivia's Phineas and Ferb co-stars is Thomas Sangster, who of course played her smitten admirer in Love Actually.

Unlike Olivia, Thomas still looks as baby-faced as he did back in 2003, though we're sure he hates hearing that.

In fact, the youthful actor still has trouble getting served down the pub.

On a recent trip to Canada, he resorted to desperate measures when he was refused service at a bar and had no ID on him.

"For the first time in my life I got out my phone and looked myself up on IMDb," he told The Guardian back in April. "They laughed and even got me to sign my autograph. But they wouldn’t serve me that pint."

We'd probably do the same if that was our bar, to be fair…
