Jude Law Reveals 'The Holiday' Cottage Was Entirely Fictional
The actor disclosed that the iconic English country home from the 2006 Christmas rom-com was a constructed set, disappointing fans hoping to visit it.
- Jude Law confirmed in a BBC Radio interview that Rosehill Cottage, featured in 'The Holiday,' was built specifically for the film and does not exist in real life.
- The film’s director, Nancy Meyers, had the cottage constructed in a field after failing to find a suitable location in the English countryside.
- While the exterior scenes were shot in England during winter, the interior scenes were filmed months later in Los Angeles studios.
- Fans and radio hosts expressed dismay at the revelation, with some jokingly accusing Law of 'ruining Christmas.'
- The cottage's design was inspired by a real property, Honeysuckle Cottage in Surrey, which was briefly available on Airbnb but is no longer listed.
