Valentine’s Day is this Sunday, and many of you will be spending it with Andrew Lincoln. Some will see him slicing and dicing walkers on The Walking Dead‘s midseason premiere. While others will see him professing his love to his best friend’s new wife (played by Keira Knightley), by means of cue cards, in Love Actually.

The 2003 rom-com became an instant Christmas and Valentine’s Day classic, however, as time has passed many people have complained about Lincoln’s character, Mark, whose romantic gestures aren’t so… romantic. Stalker actually.
“He is a stalker,” Lincoln told The Wrap. “That was my question to [director] Richard Curtis, ‘Do you not think we’re sort of borderline stalker territory here?’ And he said, ‘No, no. Not with you playing it, darling. You’ll be alright.’” He added, “I quite like the fact that I’m in one of the most romantic movies playing the only guy who doesn’t get the girl.”
The Walking Dead returns February 14 at 9 PM ET on AMC.
