Woman who played Jude Law's daughter in The Holiday says her own daughter doesn't recognise her in film

Miffy Englefield played Jude Law's daughter Sophie in The Holiday

Remember the six-year-old who played Jude Law's kid in The Holiday?

Miffy Englefield famously took on the role of the British actor's elder daughter Sophie in the 2006 Christmas film.

She was very vocal throughout the movie and quickly bonds with Cameron Diaz’s character Amanda.

Sophie's most memorable moment is perhaps how excited she was when meeting Amanda for the first time.

The young girl happily shows her dad's new girlfriend around their welcoming house.

Let's not forget her giggling younger sister Olivia, who was played by Emma Pritchard, bringing enjoyment to their widowed dad.

However, that same well-mannered, young girl with a fringe is now all grown up.

And the self-described 'hot mum' has her own daughter to make hot chocolate with.

Miffy, 25, has swapped movie sets for social media these days, despite going on to earn gigs on Casualty and The Whistleblowers, as well as a role in the short film Beautiful Enough.

Miffy told Metro: "[My daughter’s] seen it. She was a bit confused why I had ginger hair and I wasn’t the darker haired one seeing as I’ve had black hair her whole life.

"She still can’t quite get her head around the fact that I’m the lighter haired one.

"Every time she’s seen the clips she asks: 'Are you sure?' If you ask her now what film mummy was in she’s like The Holiday which is lovely. I didn’t show her it, it was not out of my choice.

"My family and friends like to see it as just a constant running joke to bring it up as much as possible to embarrass me around Christmas."

The child star explained she previously 'couldn't stomach' watching the festive favourite as it made her 'cringe' seeing herself on screen, but she has since 'softened' towards the film after becoming a mother.

It didn't stop her dad - who accompanied her on set for shooting - religiously sticking it on every single year though.

Miffy also revealed she has some memorabilia from The Holiday which was given to her and Emma Pritchard from her high-profile co-stars, which she can't wait to pass down to Frankie.

She added: "On my last day of set, I was given a present from Jude and Cameron.

"They got us a personalised jacket made with 'The Holiday 2006' written on the back and our names on the front, all embroidered. I’ve also got the back of my little director’s chair that has my name on it as well.

"My daughter will be big enough for a couple of years to wear the jacket that I have which is so cute. So that will be a lovely thing to look forward to."

So if you see a mini Miffy running amok through the Christmas aisles in a bedazzled jacket, don't be surprised.
