Jude Law’s daughter in The Holiday is unrecognizable in the latest TikTok

Since it first graced screens in 2006, The holiday has firmly established itself as a Christmas present, delighting audiences worldwide with its heartwarming story and star cast.

While the likes of Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black have continued to maintain their A-list status, one of film’s youngest stars, Miffy Englefield, has taken a completely different path.

Miffy, who was just six years old when she played Sophie, Jude Law’s daughter on screen, now lives a life far away from the Hollywood spotlight.

The former child star, who lives in West Sussex, is focused on raising her four-year-old daughter, Frankie, and embracing her creative passions in a different way.

With her striking jet black hair, tattoos and bold sense of style, the now 24-year-old fell in love with looks worlds apart from the curly-haired little girls almost two decades ago.

Miffy has reflected on her transformation and embraced her journey, both as a mother and as someone rediscovering their creativity.

“Life has changed a lot since I was six,” she shared on social media. “I’m a mom now and it’s been the biggest change. I feel so lucky to be able to spend time with my daughter before she starts school.”

During the lockdown, Miffy turned to TikTok, where her candid posts and lively personality quickly gained a loyal following. With over 74,000 followers, her content includes everything from thrifty fashion finds to relatable parenting insights.

“It started as a fun way to connect with people in a weird time,” she explained to her followers, referring to how isolating the pandemic was. “I live far from my family and creating videos became an outlet for me.”

Her fans are often excited when she talks about her time on The Holiday. “It’s crazy to think how many people watch the movie every Christmas,” she said. “I love hearing how it has become a part of their holiday traditions.”

For Miffy, working on the set of The Holiday is still a cherished memory. Raised in a modest household, she remembers how surreal it felt to step into such a glamorous world.

“We didn’t grow up much, so being on a movie set was like entering another universe,” she reflected. Despite her young age, she fondly remembers the kindness of her co-stars, especially Jude Law and Cameron Diaz.

“Jude was incredible,” she said. “He was so patient with us and always made time to chat off camera. I remember laughing so much on set – it never felt like work.” She also noted how approachable Cameron was, describing her as “warm and lovely.”

Although she hasn’t rewatched the film in years – and admits she finds it creepy watching herself as a child – her daughter Frankie has seen it and is aware of her mother’s Hollywood past.
