Jude Law's daughters in The Holiday now - punk-rocker barista mum and possible sequel

The Holiday came out a whopping 15 years ago, as Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet played two unhappy women who swapped homes and lives on a whim.

Cameron's character, Amanda, travels from the US to Surrey to live in Kate's character Iris' countryside cottage, and Iris jets to LA and lives in Amanda's mansion as they both desperately try to escape their romantic problems back home.

While Iris gets flirty with Jack Black's character Miles, Amanda falls in love with Graham, Iris's hunky brother, played by none other than Jude Law.

Doting dad Graham adores his two precocious daughters, Olivia and Sophie, and regales them with 'Mr Napkin Head', much to their amusement.

But the girls are all grown up now and look unrecogniseable.

Miffy Englefield played Sophie, and aged six she was the older of the two, while Emma Pritchard played younger sister Olivia.

Now 22, Miffy lives in Littlehampton, West Sussex, with her partner, drummer Alex Whivley-Conway, 25 and their eight-month-old baby girl Frankie.

She landed a couple of other acting jobs after The Holiday, including in TV show The Whistleblowers and a recurring role in Casualty.

But Miffy then opted for a complete career change - retiring from acting and working instead as a barista.

Making coffees paid Miffy's bills while she pursued her true passion - her punk band.

She's a singer and songwriter after finding solace at punk concerts when she was 12 and completely shaved her head back in 2015.

"At school, people were a bit funny about the fact that I used to be an actress, but I could go to these gigs and be around people who didn’t care," she explained in an interview with the New York Times.

In the same piece, Miffy, whose real name is Rebecca, explained she gave up acting because her single father was struggling with constantly driving her to auditions.

She also told a heartwarming story about her co-stars Jude and Cameron.

Despite being huge Hollywood stars, the pair arranged for Miffy and Emma to be gifted demin jackets customised with their names.

"They made all this time for these two little kids running around," Miffy recalled fondly.

The star also revealed she's up for a sequel to The Holiday - though she fears her appearance might startle her co-stars.

"My character, Sophie, could be some really cool, artsy girl now," she said.

"I think a lot of the cast would probably get a shock at my tattoos and piercings, but it would be lovely."

Miffy recently went viral on TikTok when she admitted "creepy" men still call her "cute" due to her acting credentials when she was much younger.

Alongside a video of herself looking disgusted, she wrote: "When gross old men say things like, 'I’m so glad you are still as cute as you were in The Holiday' to me."

She added: "Relating how I looked as a child to how I look as a grown a** woman makes me all kinds of creeped out idk."

Meanwhile, Miffy's on-screen sister Emma has all but vanished, so little is known about her whereabouts.

Now 20, Emma appears to have retired from acting, and only posts occasional photos on her Facebook page.
