The Holiday actress who played Jude Law’s daughter makes shock admission about life after movie

Miffy Englefield has opened up about why she couldn't rewatch the film for ages

We're just a matter of days away until the big day now and, no doubt, we'll all be watching our favourite Christmassy classics to get into the spirit.

And it simply wouldn't be the festive season if we didn't all watch The Holiday once again for the 100th time now.

The film, which first warmed our hearts back in 2006, boasts an all-star cast including the likes of Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack Black.

In the movie, Jude plays rom-com hunk Graham, who strikes up a cosy cottage-based romance with Cameron's character, Amanda.

However Amanda, who has been pretty unlucky in love just like Kate's character, Iris, soon becomes suspicious when he keeps receiving text messages and calls from two girls - Olivia and Sophie.

But the confusion soon gets all cleared up when Amanda finally realises Olivia and Sophie are actually Graham's adorable daughters, with the four making quite the cute blended family.

And the actress who played Sophie - Miffy Englefield - previously opened up about her life after featuring in the blockbuster smash-hit.

Miffy, 25, who now has a daughter of her own named Frankie, told Metro last year that Frankie totally refuses to believe she's watching her mum in The Holiday.

"[My daughter’s] seen it," Miffy shared. "She was a bit confused why I had ginger hair and I wasn’t the darker haired one seeing as I’ve had black hair her whole life."

The actress carried on: "She still can’t quite get her head around the fact that I’m the lighter-haired one. Every time she’s seen the clips she asks 'Are you sure?'

"If you ask her now what film mummy was in she’s like 'The Holiday' which is lovely. I didn’t show her it, it was not my choice."

The mum added: "My family and friends like to see it as just a constant running joke to bring it up as much as possible to embarrass me around Christmas."

Miffy admitted she couldn't rewatch the flick for many years due to it being so 'cringy', but her daughter, who she shares with partner Alex, has clearly changed that.

"The older I get, the less cringy it is but for many years I couldn’t stomach watching," she confessed.

The child star resolved: "It still shocks me that The Holiday is as loved as it is. I don’t think when we first started filming I thought it would be this recurring thing every single Christmas.

"The fact that it’s 17 years now and people are still watching it and I’m still getting messages every year is so, so lovely."
