Nearly two decades after The Holiday was released, Jude Law’s onscreen daughter Sophie looks all grown up.
While former child actress Miffy Englefield’s Instagram account is private, the Daily Mail obtained a screenshot of her recent post featuring her black hair that’s partially shaved.
Englefield has documented her daily life on her public TikTok account, with her most recent post in June showing her getting ready alongside her daughter. In the video, the Brit’s dark hair is styled in a mullet and the short-sleeve shirt and jean shorts she wore showed off her tattoos.
“Just to address the new hair, for those who don’t know, I’m a hair model sometimes and it’s hair season,” Englefield said in the video, while photos of her previous looks were shown.
Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet were already majorly famous before they starred in The Holiday, but the 2006 film is still one of their most beloved projects (for good reason). The Nancy Meyers-directed movie follows two unlucky-in-love women who trade houses for the holiday season. Of course, romance ensues for Amanda (Diaz) and Iris (Winslet) […]
Englefield portrayed one of Law’s two daughters in the beloved holiday film, which follows Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) who trade houses in L.A. and the UK for the season. After her role in The Holiday, Englefield was in 2011’s Beautiful Enough and has since left the acting industry.
While reflecting on her childhood, Englefield told the Daily Mail last year that she’s “changed quite a lot” since she was 6 years old. “I think a lot of people have, but especially me,” the British star said.
Englefield called herself a “pretty unusual 6 year old,” adding, “I was very outlandish and overconfident, I think is the best way is to describe it.”
Englefield said she “didn’t really get the velocity” of her role at the time, noting that she thought it was an “excuse to perform.” Englefield, who said she “came from quite a poor background, called the experience “very surreal.”
The Holiday star Jude Law just dropped a huge bombshell about the iconic holiday movie. More specifically, that dreamy country cottage Cameron Diaz’s character, Amanda Woods, swaps her Los Angeles pad for. During an appearance on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on the U.K.’s BBC Radio 2 on Friday, November 22, Law, 51, was […]
“It was lovely. I mean, I couldn’t have asked for better treatment and neither could my dad. We got on really, really well with everyone and they always made time for us off screen as well as on screen,” she said.
Englefield called onscreen dad Law “fantastic, funny and kind,” recalling one day on set when they were “telling each other tongue twisters for about half an hour and just found it hilarious.”
“He had so much patience with us and there was no sort of separation between doing the work and hanging out with us — they didn’t have to do that at all but they did,” she said. “I couldn’t have asked for better people to work with it. It was my best experience on any film set easily.”
Englefield explained that she began TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she was “pretty isolated” from her family. “I’d start talking about The Holiday a little bit on there and I do a lot of secondhand shopping and things like that,” she said. “It’s been fabulous, I’ve met so many lovely people through it and I love it I absolutely love posting on there.”
Englefield noted that she didn’t begin to get “recognized” until she started filming TikToks. “I’m a mum now, I’ve got a three year old,” she said. “I feel like that’s the biggest change. I’ve got a fantastic daughter and I’m in a very, very lucky position to be able to stay at home with her until she starts school, which is really not far away at all. It makes me feel very, very old whenever I remember it.”
