Miffy Englefield, from Hampshire, took to TikTok to show off her unrecognisable look as she answered questions about starring in the cult classic.

Describing herself as a 'pint sized Mum punk' she's racked up more than 13,000 followers sharing insight into her daily life.

'Hi, my name's Miff and when I was a little girl I was in a film called The Holiday,' she said in the viral clip.

'It's been about 15 years since the film came out and I'm still asked a lot of questions about it, especially since I've started doing TikTok.

'Whilst I'm feeling quite ill in myself, I thought it be nice to have a cosy little video that I could film to answer some questions I'm often asked.

Miffy's real name is actually Rebecca but she got her nickname because of the messy hair she used to sport as a little girl. 

The movie tells the tale of Surrey-based journalist Iris - played by  Kate Winslet - who swaps homes with Amanda, a movie producer from Hollywood, following respective heartbreaks.

While in Surrey, Amanda finds romance with Iris's book editor brother, widower Graham (Jude Law), while Iris meets Miles (played by Jack Black) and dates him.

Miffy played one of Jude Law's two daughters, Sophie.     

'The cast where amazing.  It sounds cliché but there's not much to tell because they were all so lovely,' she explains in the video.

'Obviously playing one of Jude Law's daughter's in the film,  he's the person we spent the most time with, he was so kind and patient and so helpful and taught us so much about acting.

'All of the cast is so sweet. Jack Black is hilarious, he made me laugh on the first day of set.

'Kate Winslet is just as ethereal as she might seem in flm and Cameron Diaz is pretty self-explanatory, she's beautiful,' she went on. 

Her onscreen sister Olivia (left) who was played Emma Pritchard hasn't gone on to have an acting career and lists The Holiday as her only role.

'Unfortunately,  I didn't keep in touch with the cast which sucks but that's just life, everyone is busy and has things to do,' she said. 

'However, Nancy Myers did email me yearly for a good few years, she is the loveliest and so smart and she did reply to an Instagram comment.'

Answering questions about her life now, she went on: 'I'm 22 now and I'm a mum, I have a daughter who will be two in April, I spend my time raising her in the best way I can.

'I'd love to read for a part and go for an audition again. I don't know if I'm any good at it anymore.

'I don't really think many casting directors are looking for people with my look.

'I have a lot of tattoos now, a shaved head and a few body mods so if there's a casting director watching who wants someone like me to read for a part, hit me up, I'd love to.

'I don't know what the future holds but I'm excited about it, 2022 seems like a great year. I really want to make more content here though because I really enjoy it.'

After The Holiday, Miffy went on to star in 12 episodes of Casualty between 2008 and 2010 and appeared in a short film called Beautiful Enough.
