Jude Law made admission about cottage in The Holiday years later that stunned radio hosts

Now we can never watch it the same way again

It's less than two weeks until Christmas now and we've probably all had some of our favourite festive films on the telly.

Although Netflix continues to produce the same small-town Christmas romance story every year, most of us just love to watch the classics.

While we all loved Home Alone and Elf as kids, and probably still do today, there's a few films out there that certainly appeal to our older selves, and that's not just because we relate to the Grinch more and more every year.

Love Actually of course has more adult themes than most Christmas films, with everyone always shocked to learn the insane difference in age between Thomas-Brodie Sangster and Keira Knightley, but there's one in particular that seems to be a favourite of the holiday romantics.

And of course, it is The Holiday, perhaps because it features the incredibly handsome Jude Law as one of the male leads, although Jack Black is always the winner in my eyes, as he takes on a very different role to the ones we've become accustomed to over the years.

Anyway, if you're not familiar with the story, Cameron Diaz does a house swap with Kate Winslet, with the former heading to Surrey while the latter heads to LA for the Christmas holidays, as both look to get over a failed relationship.

Diaz ends up meeting Law, who plays Winslet's brother, after he stops by his sister's cottage, with many fans of the film often remarking that the cottage looks idyllic and cosy for the time of year, thanks to the roaring fire and snow we see in several scenes.

However, during an interview on Zoe Ball's breakfast show last year, the 52-year-old actor shared a key detail which left a lot of fans devastated.

After one of the hosts asked if they could Airbnb the cottage, Law revealed that it 'doesn't exist'.

“So the director, she’s a bit of a perfectionist,” he said of Nancy Meyers. “She toured that whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate box cottage she’s looking for. So she just hired a field and drew it and had someone build it.

"So here’s the funny thing, if you watch it … We were shooting in the winter here. And every time I’d go in that door, we’d cut, and we shot the interiors in L.A. about three months later.”

The presenters are left stunned and tell the actor to immediately stop talking, as he was 'ruining' their experience of the film.

He added: "Sorry to burst the bubble."


However, he doesn't say anything about the luxurious spot that Winslet ends up staying in, so if you want to head to LA and find yourself a similar home, where you can make friends with a Hollywood legend and find yourself a funny and kind soul like Jack Black, then that's still a possibility.
