On the last sentence: didn't Ioan and MA say they "fell in love" with each other and with the movie?

"Seeing Toby Jones and Ben Cumberbatch in a film together again made me recall Amazing Grace which had similarities to Creation, though I liked Amazing Grace a lot more. Like Creation, it takes an enormous subject with lots of implications (the British parliament abolishing the slave trade) and looks at it through a particular aspect ... the relationship between William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) and his wife (Romola Garai), and also the strong friendship between Wilberforce and Prime Minister William Pitt (Ben Cumberbatch). Like Creation, this film also has an incredibly strong supporting cast ... seriously, I could go on and on… in quite small roles. From what director Michael Apted has said, I get the impression that he was only allowed to make the film with 3 relatively unknown leads (in the days before Ioan attacked Hollywood) if he lured in big names for other parts, as an audience draw. Anyway, Amazing Grace is a terrific film and I can recommend it."
