Short interview about “The Holiday”

Q: What appealed to you about the film?
Kate: I’ve never actually been a modern English girl in a film. I’ve spent a lot of time in my career wearing corsets. So this was a thrill to me.

Q: What was it like working with Jack Black?
Kate: We just had an absolute blast. It was very hard to keep a straight face. For pretty much everything we did. That was an acting challenge.

Q: What was your favorite scene?
Kate: It’s the first morning that Iris wakes up in this house. She turns on the radio, and there’s this fantastic piece of music that starts blaring. I was doing an air guitar with the pillow, head banging, thrashing around. I just had a blast.

Thanks to fan Cheryl for sending in this interview!
