Jude Law just ruined the magic of his classic 2006 movie with Cameron Diaz, “The Holiday”: “Sorry!”

The actor revealed a behind-the-scenes secret behind the beloved Christmas film during an interview with BBC Radio

Jude Law has just ruined millions of holiday dreams.

Under one interview with BBC Radio on Sunday, November 24, the actor revealed a behind-the-scenes secret about his beloved Christmas movie from 2006, The holiday, contributor Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet.

Law, who plays Diaz’s love interest and Winslet’s brother in the beloved rom-com, is delighted that the film has become a holiday classic. “I think it’s quite honest, wonderful,” he says in the interview.

However, things take a turn when one of the hosts asks, “Do you think we could Airbnb that cottage?” referring to the charming English country house of Winslet’s Iris.

“That cottage doesn’t exist,” Law replies. He is met with a barrage of gasps and exclamations from the program hosts. “Oh, yes,” he says.

One of the interviewers laments: “It’s my dream home!” shares a common sentiment among fans of the film, many of whom have long hoped to one day vacation in the house.

Law then reveals the reason behind the heartbreaking bit of movie magic.

“So the director, she’s a bit of a perfectionist,” he says of rom-com mastermind Nancy Meyers. “She visited the whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate box house she’s looking for,” he says. “So she just (rented) a field and designed it and got someone to build it.”

And because it was built as a facade for filming, the interior viewers have long admired never existed inside.

“So here’s the funny thing if you watch it … We shot here in the winter. And every time I walked in that door, we were cutting, and we shot the interior in LA about three months later,” Law reveals.

He is met with more outcry from his interviewers, who take turns reprimanding him: “Oh no, please stop! We don’t want to hear any more! You’re ruining it! We can’t take it.”

“Just burst the bubble. Sorry!” says Law, who doesn’t look particularly sad in the clip.

News that the fictional home known as Rosehill Cottage in the film is not a real place has been published previouslyespecially in the middle of the rise in travel trend known as “set-jetting“, where tourists plan trips to real locations where their favorite movies and TV shows were filmed.

However house that allegedly inspired theHoneysuckle Cottage, is real. As late as 2022, the property was listed on Airbnb as a holiday rental, but has apparently since been removed from the platform.

PEOPLE has previously reported that it was put up for sale in 2018 for $821,000. But according to previous listingthe three-bedroom, one-bath Surrey property appears to have sold for $650,000.
