Hugh and Anna married at the Chelsea Register Office in London in 2018 after dating for several years. 

Earlier this year, the Wonka star – who famously played the Prime Minister in the festive classic Love Actually – revealed why a certain family connection via his marraige had put him off the idea of venturing into politics in real life .

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said: ‘[Switching into politics] has crossed my mind. But what I really see close up is that it’s almost impossible to actually get anything done. It’s just impossible.’

He continued: ‘I’ve had a bit of it before…but this was really extreme and shocking and threatening to one’s family.

Hugh added that he could potentially be put off the move into politics by the knock-on effect it could have on people around him.

He added: ‘You’ve got to bring so many people with you. My wife’s mother is a politician. She was quite senior in the Swedish Parliament.

‘Whenever the subject comes up, she just says, ”Don’t. You have to water down everything. It’s all horse trading. And nowadays the incoming abuse is unthinkable.”’

This was in reference to his mother-in-law Susanne Eberstein, a former member of the Riksdag, which oversees the legislature of Sweden, from 1994 to 2019 – serving as its First Deputy Speaker between 2010 and 2014. 

The big screen star said that he could be somewhat scarred by his own performance in the run up to the 2019 General Election. 

Although he decided to campaign for people to vote tactically to prevent a Conservative majority to stop Brexit, he admitted that he ‘did very badly and ‘lost in every single constituency’.
