You may not recognize the name Miffy Englefield, but if you're a fan of the beloved holiday film The Holiday, you definitely remember her cherubic face as the spirited Sophie. The film, starring Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black, has become a classic for many and Miffy's portrayal of Jude's outspoken daughter has left a lasting impression on audiences. However, it's been almost two decades since the film's release and the now 25-year-old actress looks quite different from her days of playing Mr. Napkin Head.
Miffy, now a thriving parent with tattoos and a punk-inspired look, shared that her own daughter doesn't even recognize her in the film. It's hard to believe that the little six-year-old girl is now a young woman, but Miffy's transformation and growth as an individual have been incredible to witness. In a recent interview, she shared that her daughter Frankie, who is now three, adorably double checks every time she sees her mom on screen in The Holiday. It's a sweet reminder of how quickly time flies and how much can change in a few short years.
Growing up in a small British village, Miffy lived a relatively normal life, unaware of the fame that awaited her as a child actress in the holiday film. In fact, she even had a hard time watching the film for a while because it made her cringe. Her dad, who joined her on set, still watches it every year, but Miffy compares it to looking at baby photos that should be tucked away in the attic. However, having her own daughter has helped her to appreciate the film and her experience on set more.
As a young adult, Miffy has embraced her punk-inspired style and has been able to live a relatively normal life without the downsides of fame. That is, until she started sharing stories on TikTok, where she has gained a following of over 60k. She shared that when people found out about her role in The Holiday when she was younger, the most common response was, "what happened to you?" which she found hurtful. However, she's learned to embrace her past and is grateful for the experience.
Despite her hesitations about watching The Holiday, Miffy did recreate an iconic scene from the film for a Christmas campaign with HomeExchange last year. The film, which sees Amanda and Iris swapping homes for the holiday season, has become a beloved tradition for many, with 39% of Brits choosing to spend the holidays alone, just like the characters in the film. Miffy also shared that she was shocked by the film's lasting popularity, even 17 years after its release. She's still receiving messages about the film every year and is grateful for the love and support from fans.
It's clear that Miffy Englefield has come a long way since her days as the adorable and outspoken Sophie in The Holiday. She's now a thriving parent, embracing her own unique style and sharing her experiences with her growing audience. Despite her initial hesitations, she's learned to appreciate her role in the holiday classic and even has a special present from her co-stars, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz, to remember her time on set. The Holiday may have been just a small part of her life, but it's left a lasting impact on Miffy and her fans.
