At just 12 years old, Thomas Brodie-Sangster stole our hearts as Sam in Love Actually, the film that has become a Christmas staple in households around the world.

But now Sangster is 25 and all grown up, and is taking Hollywood by storm.

Even though he has reached his quarter century, though, Thomas still looks just like that baby-faced boy we fell in love with, and is the first one to make light of his boyish good-looks.

The Game of Thrones star revealed to The Guardian that he will often be refused service at pubs because he looks so young, even to the point where we has to Google himself to prove he’s of age!

“For the first time in my life I got out my phone, and looked myself up on IMDb,” he explained about the time he was without his ID at a bar.

He added: “They laughed and even got me to sign my autograph. But they wouldn’t serve me that pint.”

Nowadays the actor has starred in the hit TV show Game of Thrones and a role in successful film franchise The Maze Runner.

Olivia Olson was the reason why we all fell in love with Thomas Brodie-Sangster’s Sam. She’s the little girl with the glittery jeans and huge voice who Sam was madly in love with. And it looks like not much has changed…

Today she is a beautiful 23-year-old voice actress for hit cartoons like Adventure Time and Phineas and Ferb. Much like her character, Olivia is a singer-songwriter who posts videos of her music online.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster has come a long way from playing Sam in Love Actually.

The relationship between Sam and his stepfather Daniel never fails to make us cry. We’re going to go ahead and say it’s the best on-screen father-son duo we’ve seen.

You also might remember Thomas from the film Nanny McPhee; here he is rocking a stylish pin-striped suit at the premiere.

Even at a young age Thomas was a natural at a red carpet – although we’ll forgive him for that army green blazer!

Thomas’ grown up style is right on trend.

Thomas appeared as Jojeen Reed in Game of Thrones. SPOILER: unfortunately, it wasn’t for very long.

The 25-year-old nabbed a coveted role in The Maze Runner franchise playing Newt.
