The Game of Thrones star revealed that in a conversation with ABC News (via People Magazine).
Liam was amazing. He treated me like his son. He was absolutely loving to me. He just created this environment where I was very comfortable.
At the time I thought, you know, I was pretty much a grownup and I’d been doing this a few years now and I knew what I was doing.
I was very serious about it. But looking back, I’d forgotten how small and new I was.

Moreover, Love Actually was just the 10th project of his acting career.
Considering that it’s great to see that Brodie-Sangster didn’t face a tough time when filming.

For example, Liam Neeson’s character tries to take charge of his stepson following the loss of his wife.
On the other hand, Hugh Grant’s character falls for one of his junior staffers after recently becoming Prime Minister.
