Hugh and Anna married at the Chelsea Register Office in London in 2018, after several years of dating.
Earlier this year, the Wonka star – who played the Prime Minister in festive classic Love Actually – revealed why a certain family connection through his marriage had stopped him from venturing into politics in real life.
He told Entertainment Weekly: ‘[Switching into politics] has crossed my mind. But what I really see up close is that it is almost impossible to actually get anything done. It’s just impossible.’
He continued: “I’ve had a bit of that before… but this was really extreme, shocking and threatening to your family.
Hugh added that he could be put off from entering politics by the knock-on effect it could have on those around him.
He added: “You have to take so many people with you. My wife’s mother is a politician. She was quite high up in the Swedish parliament.
“Every time the subject comes up, she just says, ‘Don’t do that.’ You have to water everything down. It’s all horse trading. And today the incoming abuse is unthinkable.”

This concerned his mother-in-law Susanne Eberstein, a former member of the Riksdag, who oversaw Sweden’s legislature from 1994 to 2019, and served as its first vice-president between 2010 and 2014.
The big screen star said he might be somewhat scarred by his own performance in the run-up to the 2019 general election.
Although he decided to campaign to get people to vote tactically to prevent a Conservative majority blocking Brexit, he admitted he ‘did very poorly and ‘lost in every constituency’.
