Instead, they utilized a acceptable - with the exterior acceptable up successful a "field" somewhere, and the interior changeable successful a Los Angeles studio.

However, Jude's revelation comes arsenic viewers person spotted a full load of different discrepancies successful the 2006 movie that are lone present coming to light.

Snow way!

The exterior of Iris (played by Kate Winslet) cottage wasn't the lone happening astir it that was fake.

"We covered each the hillside with this fake snow, which was wholly biodegradable," she said.

"It was the astir unthinkable — it doesn’t snowfall successful England.

"It rains successful England. But determination are swabs of snow."

Funnily enough, determination were really 3 snowfalls during the filming of the movie successful England.

However, it was ne'er capable to make the snowfall "blanket" manager Nancy Meyers was after.

Heel-y hard work

One of the astir celebrated scenes for Cameron's Amanda is erstwhile she leaves the cottage to caput to the airport, earlier realising she's making a immense mistake.

She past stops the car, tells the operator she's off, and sprints backmost to her emotion involvement - Jude's Graham.

The scene, which progressive Cameron looking glam successful a decorator ensemble, filled conscionable seconds connected the large screen.

But she admitted it took a batch longer to really shoot.

"That full country took a week to shoot. That wasn’t adjacent successful the script!

"They lone utilized 2 shots, but we changeable similar 10 shots of maine moving crossed 10 antithetic fields.

Out of her league

Another crippled spread viewers person spotted is that Iris would ne'er person been capable to spend the Surrey cottage connected her writer salary.

The cottage that inspired Nancy to physique her replica sold for a whopping £675,000 not truthful agelong ago.

And fixed that Iris would person been connected astir £24,000 a twelvemonth successful existent life, there's nary mode she could person had capable to ammunition retired connected a cocoa container home.

In addition, she would person had to commute regular from Surrey to London - a travel that would easy person outgo her thousands of pounds, and hours, a year.

Quick turnaround

The velocity that Iris and Amanda benignant retired their location swap is different contentious constituent successful the film.

Given that they some had full-time jobs - Iris arsenic a writer and Amanda arsenic a movie trailer exertion - it's improbable that they would person been capable to get vacation authorised, flights booked and bags packed successful the 24 hours it's said to beryllium successful the film.

They besides took a immense gamble arsenic neither did immoderate probe into the other's home.

But acknowledgment to it being a romanticist comedy, their gamble paid off.

As Amanda was thrilled to get astatine Rosehill cottage, Iris was much than impressed with the luxurious additions successful the Los Angeles mansion she temporarily called home.

Phone home

While it's overmuch much communal these days for young children to person mobile phones, it wasn't the lawsuit backmost successful 2006.

The phones provided a large crippled constituent too, arsenic the girls kept ringing their dada connected theirs - starring to Amanda becoming suspicious Graham was cheating connected her.

However, she yet discovered the truth, by which constituent his daughters' phones were obscurity to beryllium seen.

Time's up

Others pointed retired that the timeline of the movie is astir wholly inaccurate.

And, according to estimations by Cosmopolitan, the paper bureau would beryllium closing arsenic adjacent to Christmas arsenic imaginable - truthful astir the 22nd December.

That means that Iris and Amanda would person been starting their holidays connected the 23rd December.

However, there's nary notation of it being Christmas Eve oregon Christmas Day for immoderate of the film's astir important events, specified arsenic Amanda going connected her day with Graham.

Viewers besides wondered wherever Graham's 2 children were portion helium was disconnected with Amanda.

Sore point

But arguably the astir devastating crippled spread of them each is Jude's revelation that Rosehill cottage "doesn't exist".

“So the director, she's a spot of a perfectionist, toured that full country and didn't rather find the cocoa container cottage she was looking for," helium explained successful the Radio 2 interview.

“So she conscionable hired a tract and drew it and had idiosyncratic physique it.

“But here's the comic thing, if you ticker it. So, we were shooting successful the wintertime here. 

“And each clip I spell successful that door, we chopped and we changeable the interiors successful LA astir 3 months later.”

Comedian Kerry Godliman, who was besides being interviewed connected the show, was horrified and squealed: “No, delight stop!”

While big Zoe was arsenic distraught and added: “We don’t privation to perceive anymore. We can’t carnivore it.”
