Jude Law's daughter from The Holiday has admitted that her own daughter doesn't recognize her in the movie.

While Miffy Englefield might not be a name you're familiar with, fans of The Holiday will recognise her as Sophie from the Christmas classic.

She famously took on the role of Jude's slightly older, and more vocal, daughter in the movie.

But that six-year-old actress is now a 25-year-old mum-of-one, and her daughter has struggled to put two and two together.

The actress looks unrecognisable from the little one that was known for requesting Mr Napkin Head.

Speaking in a TikTok, she revealed that her three-year-old daughter Frankie, refuses to believe that she is the little girl in the film.

She said: "[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."

The actress added: "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?'"

But despite having fond memories of being on set as a little one, Miffy revealed that it took a long time before watching the movie didn't feel 'cringe'.

However, she noted that becoming a mum has 'softened' her to the idea of watching it at Christmas.

"The older I get, the less cringy it is but for many years I couldn’t stomach watching," she said.

Her style is now inspired by punk, and she has several tattoos.

Reflecting on her past experiences following the role, she said: "I didn’t talk about it when I was younger but if people did find out the shocked response was usually 'what happened to you', which is a really horrible thing to say."

Miffy also revealed that she got some iconic keepsakes from her time working with Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black.

The star said: "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."

She noted that her daughter will be big enough to wear the jacket in a couple of years.

"So that will be a lovely thing to look forward to," she said.
