The Little Girl From The Holiday Is All Grown Up

Although she was just a little girl in The Holiday, Miffy Englefield recalls her time on-set fondly, especially with her on-screen family. In an effort to make the actors' interactions with the kids more believable, the on-set sisters had input in everything from the dialogue to the decorations and layout of their special tent/fort. Englefield explained to The New York Times (via Stylist), "They made all this time for these two little kids running around," also recalling how Jude Law and Cameron Diaz gifted the girls with personalized denim jackets when filming ended.

Even better than that, in a recent interview with Vulture, Englefield reminisced how sweet both Law and Diaz were while shooting, as well. She sweetly remembered, "Jude used to pop his head round the door when we were doing our schooling and things like that. He used to sit and chat with my dad. We did act like a family a little bit, and I think that shows in our relationship onscreen. We were all so close and that wasn't just for when the cameras were rolling. We were always just chatting, making jokes, and having a really good time. I don't know how they put up with us, to be honest."
