Clearly, there are still people who don't quite understand the concept of movie magic.
In an interview on BBC Radio 2 last week, actor Jude Law dropped the not-quite-surprising revelation about the cottage featured in the 2006 Christmas film. Vacation Doesn't really exist.
The interview – see below – has since gone viral with at least some fans of the film appearing to be broken-hearted.
Law starred with Cameron Diaz in the rom-com directed by Nancy Meyers about two people who find love in a country cottage in Surrey, England. Looking like something out of a storybook, the country house sounds too good to be true.
Because it was. To sudden outbursts of “What? What? What?” From the host Zoe Ball's Breakfast ShowLu explained that, no, people can't use the cabin through Airbnb because it doesn't exist. He says Myers had a very specific idea of what she wanted in a love shack, and when she couldn't find one, well…
“She toured the whole area and didn't quite find the chocolate box hut she was looking for,” Lu said. “So I rented a field and painted [the house] And he had someone build it.
Law went on to explain another Hollywood secret: The home's interiors were filmed in a studio in Los Angeles. “Wait, what?” says the stunned ball. Low apologized for bursting the holiday bubble.
Wait until you hear about the green wizards…
