Jude Law Reveals Why He Never Watches “The Holiday” with His Kids During the Christmas Season

The actor is a dad to seven children

Jude Law loves sharing the holidays with his children, as long as they’re not watch The Holiday.

As a guest on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show with Julia Cunningham on Tuesday, Dec, 3, the actor, 51, discussed his iconic Christmas movie The Holiday, in which he stars alongside Cameron Diaz. While Law loves it when strangers share their love for the film with him, he admits that he has purposefully never watched it with any of his seven children.

“At this time of year, when you’re at airports or on the street or in a restaurant, are people just constantly coming up to you about The Holiday because it has become a Christmas classic?” asks Cagle.

Law excitedly replies, “Yeah. It really has…The idea that people revisit a piece of work is honestly nothing short of a phenomenon to me, and for the first few years, I was always sort of startled,” he says of when fans would address him in public.

Now, nearly two decades after the movie premiered in 2006, Law says, “I just find it so delightful. I’m thrilled.”

“I mean, I don’t join them because it’s obviously not, it’s not my family Christmas movie,” he adds.

Surprised, Cagle says, “But it should be. Don’t your kids want to see The Holiday?”

“See dad and Cameron [Diaz]? I’m not sure,” the dad of seven shares with a laugh.

Cagle jokes back, “Oh, I forgot about that. Nevermind.”

Law is a dad to sons Rafferty, 28, Rudy, 22, and daughter Iris, 24, with ex-wife Sadie Frost; daughter Sophia, 15, with ex Samantha Burke; daughter Ada, 9, with ex Catherine Harding; and reportedly two young kids, whose names haven’t been revealed publicly, with wife Phillipa Coan.
