In a revelation that has disappointed fans worldwide, actor Jude Law recently confirmed that the charming cottage from the beloved 2006 rom-com "The Holiday" was merely a Hollywood creation.

During an appearance on BBC Radio 2's The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Law shattered illusions when asked if fans could rent the picturesque Rosehill Cottage through Airbnb. "That cottage doesn't exist," Law admitted, prompting audible gasps from the studio.

The actor explained that director Nancy Meyers, known for featuring stunning homes in her films, couldn't find exactly what she envisioned in the English countryside. Instead, she had the perfect cottage constructed from scratch in an empty field.

Adding to the movie magic revelation, Law shared that the cozy interior scenes weren't even filmed in England. "Every time I'd go in that door, we'd cut, and we shot the interiors in LA about three months later," he disclosed, much to the dismay of the show's hosts.

"Just burst the bubble. Sorry!" Law apologized, acknowledging fans' disappointment about the fictional home that Cameron Diaz's character Amanda temporarily occupies during her house swap with Kate Winslet's Iris.

While Rosehill Cottage may be a Hollywood fabrication, some filming locations from "The Holiday" do exist in Surrey and Oxfordshire, including Cornwell Manor in Chipping Norton - though it remains closed to the public except for private events.

The seasonal favorite continues to charm audiences despite this revelation, with Law himself describing the film as "just honestly glorious," even as he pulls back the curtain on one of its most memorable settings.
