Jude Law Reveals The Valid Reason Why His Kids Don’t Watch ‘The Holiday’ With Him At Christmas

Jude Law just made another surprising admission about his hit Christmas film, “The Holiday.”

While appearing on an episode of SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham” that was released Tuesday, the actor revealed the valid reason why he’s never watched the 2006 rom-com with his children despite its massive popularity.

Law stars as Cameron Diaz’s love interest in “The Holiday,” which follows two lovesick women who unexpectedly find love while on vacation after swapping homes with each other.

The conversation kicked off after host Jess Cagle asked Law if “people just constantly” approach him in public about the film since it’s “become a Christmas classic.”

“It really has. … The idea that people revisit a piece of work is honestly nothing short of a phenomenon to me, and for the first few years, I was always sort of startled,” the British star said.

Iris (Kate Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz), realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart, find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda’s L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris’ handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by legendary screenwriter Arthur (Eli Wallach), mends her heart when she meets film composer Miles (Jack Black).\n\n#SonyPictures #Sony #TheHoliday #TheHolidayMovie #15thAnniversary #CameronDiaz #KateWinslet #JackBlack #JudeLaw #NancyMeyers #OfficialTrailer

“I just find it so delightful. I’m thrilled,” he added.

Law then admitted that he doesn’t “join” his fans in watching the movie annually for the holiday season because “it’s not my family Christmas movie.”

“But it should be. Don’t your kids want to see ‘The Holiday’?” Cagle asked.

“See Dad and Cameron [Diaz]? I’m not sure,” Law, a father of seven, said with a laugh, prompting Cagle to jokingly respond, “Oh, I forgot about that. Never mind.”

According to People magazine, Law is a father to: Rafferty, Iris and Rudy with ex-wife Sadie Frost; Sophia with ex-girlfriend Samantha Burke; Ada with ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding; and two children (whose names have not been shared publicly) with current wife Phillipa Coan.

The “Eden” star disclosed another surprising fact regarding “The Holiday” late last month.

During an interview with BBC Radio, Law confessed that the Rosehill cottage that’s prominently featured in the film doesn’t actually exist.

He also revealed that the cottage interior scenes in the movie weren’t filmed in the charming English countryside and were instead shot in Los Angeles, saying, “Every time I’d go in that door, we’d cut, and we shot the interiors in LA about three months later.”
