Cruise, 62, plays an unscrupulous sports agent whose life changes when he has a moral reckoning about how he does his job in the beloved film from director Cameron Crowe, 67. The character was inspired by real-life sports agent Leigh Steinberg, 75, and one of his clients, professional football player Tim McDonald, 60. (Cuba Gooding, Jr., 57, earned a best-supporting-actor Oscar for his portrayal of a character who resembles McDonald.) Steinberg served as a consultant on the film and even makes a brief cameo in it.

Roberts, 57, plays a romantic saboteur who tries to break up her best friend’s engagement when she realizes she’s in love with him. Ultimately, she fails and ends up dancing at the movie’s eponymous wedding with her gay friend. In the original ending, Roberts meets another man, but when test audiences revolted — they didn’t think her villainous character deserved a happy ending — a new ending was written.

Along with actors Hugh Grant, 64, and Julia Roberts, one of the film’s biggest stars was the blue door to Grant’s character’s flat. The door belongs to a residence that was owned by the movie’s screenwriter, Richard Curtis, 68. To this day, it’s a popular tourist attraction in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood — as is the Notting Hill Bookshop that appears in the film.

False: The film is based on a book by English author and screenwriter Helen Fielding, 66. The book began as a newspaper column when British newspaper The Independent asked Fielding to chronicle her life as a single woman in London. Fielding wasn’t comfortable exposing her life in print, and instead she agreed to write an anonymous column written by an exaggerated, fictional character. Thus, Bridget Jones was born.

The 2003 film opens and closes with emotional real-life footage of people reuniting with loved ones at the airport. Filmmakers stationed hidden cameras at London’s Heathrow Airport for a week to capture the reunions. Whenever they witnessed a particularly touching moment, crew members would materialize and ask the subjects to sign a waiver.
