Jude Law reveals that the holiday cottage does not exist

Say it ain’t so!

The holiday star Jude Law just dropped a huge bomb about the iconic holiday movie. More specifically, the dreamy country house Cameron Diaz‘s character, Amanda Woods, trades her Los Angeles pad for.

During a performance at Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Britain’s BBC Radio 2 on Friday, November 22, Law, 51, was asked if the Surrey-based cottage is available for fans to rent on Airbnb. And well, get ready.

“That cottage doesn’t exist,” the British actor said to shocked gasps from the host Zoe Ball and fellow guest, comedian Kerry Godliman.

“What?!” Ball and Godliman expressed their shock, prompting Law to reveal the behind-the-scenes tricks used to shoot the scenes between Amanda and his character, Graham Simpkins, in the cozy cottage.

“So the director (Nancy Meyers), she’s a bit of a perfectionist,” Law explained. “(She) toured the whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate box house she was looking for, so she just hired a field, designed it and got someone to build it.”

Law went on to shatter fans’ dreams by revealing that the wintry scenes weren’t even shot in the UK

“But here’s the funny thing if you watch it … so we shot it in the winter here (in the UK),” the actor said. “And every time I walked in that door, we cut and we shot the interior in LA about three months later.”

It was a revelation too far for Ball and Godliman, who urged Law to stop talking. “We can’t stand it!” joked Bold.

“Just burst the bubble. Sorry!” Law replied.

First published in 2006, The holiday is a seasonal staple for fans worldwide. It stars Kate Winslet (who plays Law’s sister, Iris Simpkins) and Diaz as two women who switch homes for the holidays after experiencing heartbreak. Jack Black costars as Miles Dumont, Winslet’s love interest.

Earlier this year, Winslet revealed that Robert Downey Jr. auditioned for the role of Law and recalled that he had a “terrible” English accent during his audition.

“It was a hotel room somewhere on the Upper East Side and Robert Downey had an English accent, but I thought he was doing Australian,” she said. “I thought, ‘That’s bad. It’s not going to work, and who’s going to tell him it sounds terrible.’ … It was actually not that great.”
