Jude Law, at 51, recently shared intriguing behind-the-scenes details of the 2006 Christmas classic 'The Holiday' during an interview on 'BBC Radio 2'. Speaking with host Zoe Ball and comedian Kerry Godliman, Law revealed unexpected truths about the beloved film. The actor, who portrayed "Graham," a widower who finds love with "Amanda" (played by Cameron Diaz), disclosed that the picturesque Rosehill Cottage, where much of the film's romantic plot unfolds, was not a real property. This revelation left fans surprised, as the cottage has become an iconic symbol of the film.

The truth about Rosehill Cottage

Law explained that the cottage "doesn’t exist," and director Nancy Meyers, known for her perfectionism, could not find the ideal "chocolate box" cottage in Surrey. As a result, the production team hired a field and constructed the cottage from scratch. Interestingly, while the cottage's exterior was built in England, the interior scenes were filmed months later in Los Angeles. Despite its fictional nature, Rosehill Cottage captured the hearts of audiences, becoming synonymous with a quintessential English dream home for Christmas. The design was inspired by Honeysuckle Cottage in Holmbury St Mary, which later became an Airbnb.

Sequel possibilities for 'The Holiday'

The film's enduring popularity has sparked interest in a potential sequel. When asked about the possibility, Jude Law expressed enthusiasm, stating at the Tribeca Festival, "I love the idea." Though he acknowledged that any sequel would require approval from director Nancy Meyers, Law seemed optimistic about revisiting his character, Graham. He humorously speculated about Graham's life, suggesting he still wears cardigans and glasses and worries about his daughters, now grown up. This openness to a sequel has excited fans eager to see the continuation of this beloved holiday story.
