The Holiday's iconic cottage may not exist - but here's 8 other film sets | Films | Entertainment




It's one of our best-loved modern Christmas films. 

But fans of The Holiday had a shock earlier this week when Jude Law, who stars alongside Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jack Black in the charming rom-com, admitted the idyllic country cottage at the heart of the movie is fake.

The actor starred as the handsome widower Graham, a book editor with two young daughters, in the 2006 film about a house swap between two disillusioned women: Winslet’s Iris, and a successful if neurotic American, Amanda played by Diaz.

Iris, who is a journalist, swaps "Rosehill Cottage", a quaint stone building in Surrey, for Amanda’s LA mansion. While Amanda travels to the UK to get away from a cheating partner and find peace and quiet in the quaint country setting.

But speaking on Radio 2 last week, Law, 51, admitted to host Zoe Ball: "That cottage doesn't exist." He revealed that the exterior shots were filmed at a fake frontage built in a field, adding: "The director [Nancy Meyers], she's a bit of a perfectionist? and didn't quite find the chocolate-box cottage she was looking for, so she just drew it and had someone build it.”

All the interiors of Iris’s cosy home were shot in LA in a film studio. Law added: "I've just burst the bubble, sorry."

So what film locations CAN you actually visit?
