It's been over 15 years since the release of Nancy Meyers' 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday, starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet as two women who swap homes for the holiday season. One of the most iconic aspects of the film is the quaint, snow-covered English cottage that Amanda (Diaz) swaps with Iris (Winslet). However, Jude Law, who played the role of Graham in the film, recently revealed a shocking truth that will leave fans heartbroken.
In a recent interview, Law spilled the beans about the fate of the adorable cottage in Surrey, where many pivotal scenes from the movie take place. The renowned actor expressed his regret as he shared the disappointing news, saying "sorry" to fans who cherished the idyllic film setting.
Contrary to popular belief, the picturesque cottage does not exist in real life. According to Law, the entire interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage, and the exterior shots were merely a façade built specifically for the movie. The revelation may come as a shock to many fans of the classic rom-com who often dreamed of visiting the whimsical retreat.
Although the cottage may not be real, the movie's charming atmosphere and engaging storyline will continue to captivate audiences. Yet, the sad truth behind one of its most magical components might alter how viewers perceive the film in the future. It's undeniable that Jude Law's recent admission will have left fans with mixed feelings about their beloved holiday classic.
