Miffy Englefield played Jude Law’s on-screen daughter Sophie in the 2006 Christmas classic The Holiday – but she looks very different these days
Since its debut in 2006, The Holiday has secured its place as a beloved Christmas film classic.
While Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black have maintained their high-profile Hollywood status over the past 18 years, some cast members have chosen to lead lives away from the limelight.
Miffy Englefield, hailing from West Sussex, was a mere six years old when she portrayed Sophie, the eldest child of Jude’s character, Graham. Speaking to MailOnline last year, Miffy said: “I think I’ve changed quite a lot since I was six, I think a lot of people have, but especially me. It wasn’t until I started doing TikTok that I’ve started getting recognised.
“I’m a mum now, I’ve got a three year old. I feel like that’s the biggest change. I’ve got a fantastic daughter and I’m in a very, very lucky position to be able to stay at home with her until she starts school, which is really not far away at all. It makes me feel very, very old whenever I remember it.”
Miffy has now found a new path to fame as a content creator on TikTok, where she commands an impressive following of 74,000 – the former child star creates videos with her partner Alex Whibley-Conway and their little girl, Frankie.
She embarked on her TikTok journey during the pandemic, a period she described as a ‘really weird time’ to have a baby.
She elaborated: “I live quite far away from the rest of my family, so I was pretty isolated. I’m really into fashion and stuff these days and I just decided that I was going to start making little videos and then it’s just sort of grew from there.
“I’d start talking about the holiday a little bit on there and I do a lot of secondhand shopping and things like that. It’s been fabulous, I’ve met so many lovely people through it and I love it I absolutely love posting on there. I was a pretty unusual six year old. I was very outlandish and overconfident, I think is the best way is to describe it.”
At the time, she ‘didn’t really get the velocity’ of what she was doing – to the youngster, it was another ‘excuse to perform’. Her daughter Frankie watched the movie ‘as soon as she could talk’ and it’s become an ongoing joke in the family – however, she hasn’t watched in a few years herself as she struggles with ‘cringing’ at herself as a child.
