Don’t toy with our hearts, Nancy.Jude Law and Nancy Meyers have fans of “The Holiday” on edge after the pair hinted they are working on a sequel to the 2006 romantic comedy, which could see the return of a beloved character — Mr.
Napkin Head.Law, 51, and Meyers, 75, who wrote and directed “The Holiday,” got together on Thursday to celebrate the actor receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.That same day, Meyers posted a video of their reunion on Instagram, in which she coyly asked Law about a potential “Holiday” sequel.“Look who I’m having lunch with today,” the Oscar-nominated filmmaker said in voiceover fashion as the camera panned up from a glass of champagne and dessert to a dapperly dressed Law, who beamed as he looked across the table at Meyers.
“Congratulations on your so deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.That’s amazing.”“Thanks, Nancy,” he replied.
“It’s so lovely to see you.”“It’s so great to see you,” Meyers added.“I don’t think I’ve seen you since we wrapped up ‘The Holiday.'”“Speaking of which,” she continued, “I’ve seen you interviewed a lot, and they keep asking you if there’s going to be a sequel, what do you think?”Law then leaned back, letting out a sigh, lost in thought and he repeated the question, “Is there gonna be a sequel?” The star then grabbed a white napkin and looked up at Meyers as he pulled the cloth up to his face.
“Uh oh.Uh oh,” Meyers said.
“Oh no, here it comes.”Law went on to place the napkin over his head, and a person off-screen handed him a pair of glasses, which he put on over the linen — reanimating the adored Mr.Napkin Head, an alter ego Law’s character in “The Holiday” created to entertain his children.Laughing, Meyers asked, “Is that a yes, Jude?”Two years ago, Meyers said a sequel to “The Holiday” — which also starred Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, and Jack Black — was not in the works.
But a lot can change ...
