Jude Law drops a bombshell that will devastate ‘The Holiday’ fans: ‘I’m sorry’

There’s no place like home for the holidays — when there is one.

Jude Law devastated “The Holiday” fans by revealing the iconic English cottage featured in the 2006 movie was not actually real.

“That cottage doesn’t exist,” the actor said on BBC Radio 2’s “The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show” last Friday, eliciting gasps from multiple people who were in the studio for the interview.

Law, 51, explained that director Nancy Meyers was “a bit of a perfectionist” and decided to take matters into her own hands after failing to find the perfect location for the Surrey-set romantic comedy.

“She toured that whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate-box cottage she was looking for,” he recalled.

“So she just [rented] a field and drew it and had someone build it.”

The Oscar nominee then dropped another bombshell, admitting the scenes inside the makeshift cottage were not even filmed there.

“We were shooting in the winter here [in the UK], and every time I’d go in that door, we’d cut,” he remembered, “and we shot the interiors in LA about three months later.”

As the hosts of the show begged Law to stop ruining the movie’s “magic,” he acknowledged he had “just burst the bubble,” adding, “Sorry!”
