"There were obviously moments that the kids were there with us," he told the publication as he watched a clip of him and Cameron Diaz dancing and shushing the kids.

"I remember there being big sections of this scene that the children weren't around," he recalled. "So, we were having to respond as if the kids were doing something."

"Us watching Kate [Winslet] and Jack [Black] kind of kiss and cuddle, Nancy [Meyers] would say, 'oh the kids might kind of be making fun of that'.

"So us responding, kind of [shushing], all of that, we're pretending the kids are in the room," he added.

The Holiday was released almost two decades ago now, on December 26, 2006.

Law said that before filming, director Nancy Meyers spoke a lot about classic romantic comedies, adding that he believes those kinds of films can really have an effect on people.

"I'm thrilled that I'm in something people go back to time and time again," he shared. "The number of films I've made, not a lot of them have had that response."
