The 2006 film is still a hit today

In a recent interview with The New York Times, The Holiday star and musician opened up about her time on the film set and being well-known at such a young age. 

"At school, people were a bit funny about the fact that I used to be an actress, but I could go to these gigs and be around people who didn't care," she told the paper. "Jude had so much time for us. He was always giving me tips about acting."
