- Cameron Diaz said she had to run through the mud in high heels for two weeks while shooting "The Holiday" in Surrey, England.
- The actress said that what was no more than four lines in the script turned into 10 different shots of her running across 10 different fields.
- Diaz said she was "so fit by the end of that week": "I ran probably seven miles a day in those heels. Through mud and hills."
- Diaz was speaking to Vulture for its Nancy Meyers Week in celebration of 40 years of the beloved rom-com director.
Cameron Diaz told Vulture that the iconic running scene in Christmas favorite "The Holiday" took an entire week to shoot across a variety of fields in the English countryside.
The actor told the publication that the scene, in which her character stops her car on the way to the airport and runs back to Jude Law (who is at that point in Kate Winslet's cottage), occupied around just four lines in the script but needed lots of different angles and much exercise on her part to shoot.
Diaz added that she was "so fit by the end of that week."
"I ran probably seven miles a day in those heels. Through mud and hills. It was so hilarious. I was literally like, I'm not even complaining right now because my job is to run, and I'm okay with that. But I'm sweating," she said.Advertisement
Looking back on the scene with director Nancy Meyers, Diaz said she asked: "'How did this go from four lines of description into a two-week scene of shooting?' [Meyers] was like, 'I don't know. I just always pictured it this way.'"
Vulture was interviewing Diaz as part of its Nancy Meyers Week celebrating the famous rom-com filmmaker's catalog of hits, which have now spanned four decades including "The Holiday," "It's Complicated," and "The Parent Trap." Meyer's last film was 2015's "The Intern" starring Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway, which garnered mixed reviews. Despite serious lobbying from Vulture's Rachel Handler, Meyers makes it fairly clear in their interview that it's going to take some convincing to get her back in the director's chair.Read more:
