Jude Law ravages "Holiday" fans by revealing secrets about the movie's idyllic English cottage
As the holiday season approaches, everyone is preparing to re-watch their favorite festive movies. 2006's "The Holiday," starring Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, remains a classic Christmas movie. But fans of the film need to make sure to sit down before reading any further, as the law has revealed quite devastating news about the location of the idyllic Rosehill Cottage in the film.
In the movie, Winslet's Iris lives in a cottage, but decides to exchange it with Diaz's Amanda, who lives in Los Angeles. In the snow-covered English countryside, Amanda is a fish out of the water, but she has grown to love charming cottages, and in a new interview with BBC Radio 2, where Iris's brother, Graham (played by Law), Rowe reveals enviable, rustic cottages, and why fans are struggling to find buildings in real life.
"That cottage doesn't exist," Law told the radio show host, breaking the hearts of 100 million people in the process.
"So director [Nancy Myers], she's a little perfectionist," Law explained. "She toured the entire area and couldn't find the chocolate box cottage she was looking for. So she just hired Field to draw it and let someone build it."
As for how the cast filmed the scene that took place at the newly built Rosehill Cottage, the law said, "If you look at it, here.. We were shooting here in the winter. He cut every time he entered that door and shot the interior in Los Angeles 3 months later.
Realizing that the revelation had just devastated the host and its listeners, Low simply said, "It just burst the bubble." sorry!

In an interview with Vultures in 2020, Diaz talked about the experience of working with director and screenwriter Myers on holiday . "I think the set is so great," she explained. "There is only the real world that she knows how to create. Lots of textures, lots of layers... So, when you walk on the set, such things wrap around you.
Rosehill Cottage was not real, but Diaz found the set incredibly warm and charming. "But when you go on set for the holidays, it felt like you were walking into the character's house," she told the outlet. "You were on the sound stage and you forgot that the lights were hanging over you and there was a camera around you. It dissipates and you are left in these very clear and thoughtful environments where the character lives."
