The Holiday child star totally unrecognisable as a punk princess 17 years later

The Holiday came out almost two decades ago but Miffy Englefield still gets recognised by fans.

However, the child actress looks completely different nowadays after undergoing a huge transformation. Back then, Miffy was known for her angelic appearance as she starred alongside Jude Law and Cameron Diaz in the fan-favourite movie. She now describes herself as "Short, loud and mostly ridiculous. Hot mum. Always overdressed."

Fans of the Christmas movie will remember Miffy as Graham's (Jude Law) adorable daughter, who melted Amanda's (Cameron) heart when she fell in love with the father-of-two. But now, Miffy has amassed even more fans thanks to her presence on social media sites including TikTok and Instagram where she discusses her time on the movie.

Now, aged 24, Miffy is the ultimate punk princess and often dazzles her Instagram fans with an array of stunning snaps. Ditching her mousey brown locks, Miffy now rocks a full head of glossy black hair, with the sides of her head completely shaven. But that's not the only change to her appearance, the child star is now covered in several tattoos.

However, on her TikTok page, Miffy, whose real name is Rebecca often talks about the movie and last year, she revised the village, Shere, where the movie was filmed.

However, Miffy was quick to shut down speculation that a sequel for the movie was happening as she explained there had been no discussions. She added that Nancy Meyers, the filmmaker even confirmed the news. In one video, Miff was keen to share that Jude and Cameron were "so kind and lovely".

Despite appearing in the hit movie, Miffy believes that casting directors wouldn't look at her nowadays

But Miffy has put acting on the back burner and spends her time raising her daughter "in the best way" she can. Despite being a full-time mum, she previously admitted she would "love" to return to her acting routes. "I would love to read for a part," she said on TikTok before adding: "I would love to audition again, I don't know if I'm good at it anymore."

But in a heartbreaking admission, she said: "I don't think many casting directors are looking for people with my look. I have quite a lot of tattoos now and I've got a shaved head and a few body mods and things like that. So, if there was ever a casting director that wants someone like me to read through for a part, hit me up, I'd love to."

Recently, Miffy returned to her The Holiday roots and created one of the movie's most famous scenes as she climbed into a giant bed surrounded by food – similar to the scene which sees Cameron laying in bed with a hat and scarf on with a tray of food covering her legs.

Although she believes casting directors wouldn't look twice at her, her inked appearance hasn't held her back as she now works as a model, alongside being a full-time mum to her young daughter. The star is signed to Valkyrie Models, with the agency priding itself on "the new era of diverse models from the UK."
