Jude Law just ruined one of fans' favorite things about The Holiday

Jude Law ruined Christmas for many fans of The Holiday.

The 51-year-old actor recently spoke about the beloved 2006 Christmas classic in an interview on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ and broke the hearts of many fans when he revealed that the film’s idyllic Rosehill Cottage is set in the middle of the English countryside … does not exist.

“I mean, I think it’s really great,” Law said of the film’s fans who rewatch it every year.

Law plays Graham, a charming single father of two, alongside Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jack Black in the film.

When the conversation turned to stories about the possibility of using the cozy Surrey bungalow where Winslet’s character Iris lives on Airbnb, Law toned down the boom to co-hosts Zoe Ball and Kerry Godliman.

“This cottage doesn’t exist,” the actor said, startling Ball and Godliman.

“So the director – she’s a bit of a perfectionist,” Law continued, referring to the queen of romantic comedies, Nancy Meyers. “She traveled all over the area and didn’t quite find the chocolate cottage she was looking for. So she just rented a field, drew it, and had someone build it.”

“But here’s the funny thing when you look at it,” he added. “So we shot it here in the winter and every time I walked through that door we did the cut and shot the interior in LA about three months later.”

The news was all too shocking to Ball and Godliman. “Please stop!” Godliman begged. “We don’t want to hear any more!” Ball said, covering his ears. “I can’t stand it.”

Godliman added: “This is really worrying. We can’t stand it.”

“I just burst my bubble!” “Sorry!” Law added with a mischievous grin.

Fans were equally upset.

“And so Jude Law stole Christmas,” one person commented on Instagram. “I can’t believe it!!!! I could cry,” another shared.

Many of the film’s diehard followers refused to believe Law. “Sorry Jude…this is all real and always will be…you will never crush my dreams,” one person wrote. “He’s lying. I don’t care what he says, it’s all a lie,” wrote a film lover who didn’t want to deny it.

Another angry fan commented: “Blasphemy!!!!” while someone else exclaimed: “What a spoiler!!!”

Meyers had previously revealed in a portion of the film’s DVD commentary that the cottage was not real, but rather a product of Hollywood magic.

“We built this wall and planted these trees. It was really just an empty field. “It was a real tourist attraction when it was there,” Meyers said.

However, the house’s time on this earth was short-lived. “But now it’s gone,” she shared, adding that it was torn down after filming was completed.
