Jude Law Just Ruined ‘The Holiday’ and He’s ‘Sorry’

Jude Law has broken a few hearts by sharing some behind-the-scenes information about the classic movie “The Holiday.”

During a recent interview with BBC RadioLaw discussed the 2006 Christmas movie that is a must-see for many every winter holiday. He plays Cameron Diaz’s love interest and Kate Winslet’s brother in the rom-com.

“I think it’s quite frankly, glorious,” Law said of “The Holiday’s” long popularity with audiences.

Then he came up with some surprising information when one of the hosts asked about possibly renting a stay in the cozy summer house that featured prominently in the film.

“That cottage doesn’t exist,” Law replied, causing people in the room to gasp.

According to the actor, the film’s director, Nancy Meyers, is “a bit of a perfectionist.”

“She toured the whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate box house she was looking for,” he recalled. “So she just (rented) a field and designed it and got someone to build it.”

The cottage interior scenes weren’t even filmed in the picturesque English countryside.

“We shot in the winter here,” the actor said of filming part of “The Holiday” in Britain. “Every time I walked in that door, we were cutting, and we shot the interior in LA about three months later.”

Cue more dismay from those present at the conversation, including one person who said: “We don’t want to hear any more! You’re ruining it!”

“Just burst the bubble,” Law said, “Sorry!”

Way to be a Grinch, Jude Law!
