Jude Law just ruined millions of vacation dreams.

During an interview with BBC Radio on Sunday, November 24, the actor revealed a behind-the-scenes secret from his beloved 2006 Christmas film. The holiday, Starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet.

Law, who plays Diaz’s lover and Winslet’s brother in the popular romantic comedy, is pleased that the film has become a Christmas classic. “To be honest, I just think it’s wonderful,” he shares in the interview.

However, things take a turn when one of the hosts asks, “Do you think we could book this cottage on Airbnb?”, referring to the charming English country home of Winslet’s character Iris.

“This little house doesn’t exist,” Law replies. The show’s hosts were met with a barrage of gasps and exclamations. “Oooh, yeah,” he says.

One of the interviewers laments: “This is my dream house!” The fans of the film share a common opinion, many of whom have long hoped to vacation in the house one day.

Then Law reveals the reason for the heartbreaking movie magic.

“So the director is kind of a perfectionist,” he says of romantic comedy mastermind Nancy Meyers. “She traveled all over the area and didn’t quite find the chocolate cottage she was looking for,” he says. “So she just rented a field, drew it and had someone build it.”

And because it was built as a facade for filming, the interiors that viewers have long admired never existed.

“So here’s the funny thing when you look at it… We shot here in the winter. And every time I walked through that door we were cutting, and we shot the interior scenes in LA about three months later. “The law betrays.

He is met with further outcry from his interviewers, who alternately chide him: “Oh no, please stop!” We don’t want to hear any more! You’re ruining it! We can’t stand it.”

“The bubble just burst. “I’m sorry!” says Law, who doesn’t look very sad in the clip.

The news that the fictional home, called Rosehill Cottage in the film, is not a real location has emerged before, particularly given the increasing travel trend of “set-jetting,” in which tourists plan trips to real locations where their Favorite films and television shows were filmed.

However, the house is supposedly inspired it, Honeysuckle Cottage, is real. The property was still listed as a vacation rental on Airbnb in 2022, but has apparently since been removed from the platform.

PEOPLE previously reported that it was listed for sale in 2018 for $821,000. However, according to the previous listing, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom Surrey property appears to have sold for $650,000.
