I played Jude Law’s daughter in The Holiday – there’s a deleted scene no-one knows about, I kept the script & pics too
IF YOU’RE anything like us, you’ll be watching The Holiday over the next few days.
But while we constantly see Jude Law and Kate Winslet on our screens – there are some characters from the film who are less known.
Those like Miffy Englefield who was just six years old when she was propelled to fame playing Jude’s on-screen daughter Sophie, alongside the rest of the cast which included Cameron Diaz and Jack Black.
In the film, Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz’s characters swap homes for the holidays and both found love.
But Miffy has revealed what it was like behind the scenes thanks to her dad who kept a folder of her time on the film she could look back on.
And Miffy shared there were some scenes and scripts that didn’t make it into the film.
She revealed her dad had printed out everything for her to keep from her audition logs to her scripts on set.
Miffy shared the first script they got which introduced Jude Law‘s daughters and revealed why hers were highlighted and had pen marks all over.
She explained: “These lines in between the script is because I used to speak too fast, so they had to remind me to breathe.”
Not only that, but there were also some lines cut from the film including the famous hot chocolate and Mr Napkin scene.
In the film, Amanda was meant to say that she couldn’t have marshmallows with her drink as she was avoiding carbs so she wouldn’t ‘get fat’.
But the line was cut from the film.
There was even a whole scene that was slashed from the film which featured Jude Law going to a cafe with his children.
Miffy added: “Here is a whole deleted scene that we filmed in a cafe.”
It seems the clip was to take place after Christmas Day when Cameron’s character Amanda was supposed to go back to LA.
Instead, she stays in the village and bumps into the family in a cafe and joins them for lunch.
“I really like that scene we had to eat cold shepherd’s pie,” she explained.
Miffy also shared lots of behind-the-scenes photos of the film, including a shot of her in the deleted scene wearing a white shirt and pink jumper.
Another image saw young Miffy and Cameron Diaz mid-conversation and laughing.
The video was a hit on her TikTok account @miffz_ and wen tviral with over 75k views and 6k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments thankful that Miffy shared her experience from their favourite Christmas film.
One person wrote: “I cannot wrap my mind around how much time has passed!!! These are adorable thank you sharing.”
Another commented: “Aw what a lovely keepsake! Love this!”
“Omg I love this film!! It’s my favourite,” penned a third.
