'Bawling my eyes out': Twitter applauds Hugh Grant's poignant Love Actually 2 speech declaring 'good's going to win' as he resurrects Downing Street dance to Hotline Bling

Fans have praised Love Actually's Red Nose Day special after Hugh Grant's character delivered a 'poignant' speech that touched many following this week's Westminster attacks.

Undertaking the role of Prime Minister in the much-loved classic, many have shared their heart-felt thoughts on social media commending his stirring words.

Although proving to be a hit across the board, it was the 56-year-old's speech as the one-off came to a close that rang true with the nation as he uttered the words 'good's going to win'.

Entering a press conference with his broken arm strapped, Hugh's character was fired a number of question including how he injured himself - dropping Drake's Hotline Bling into the mix.

Yet, it is the last question he is asked that proved most moving and defiant, tugging on the heartstrings of the nation in the devastating week that was in London.

One member of the press asks: 'When you came to power the first time you were very optimistic. You said the power of good would finally win that love was actually all around. 14 years later, do you still feel as upbeat?'  

Taking a pause, he began: 'Well, interesting obviously times have got harder and people are nervous and fearful. And it's not just in politics that things are tough, Usain Bolt has run his last Olympics, the Harry Potter films are finished, Piers Morgan is still alive.

'But let's look at the other side of the coin, Metallica's album is an absolute cracker and on a deeper level I'm optimistic wherever you see tragedy, you see bravery too. Wherever you see ordinary people in need, you see extraordinary people come to their aid. 

He added: 'Today is Red Nose Day and people who are giving their hard earned cash to people they'll never meet, who's pain and fear they'll never feel and want to fight.
