She was my favorite co-star I&#8217;ve ever had because when you look in her eyes, she was like really present,&#8221; Black recalled. &#8220;I feel like if you look into my eyes, you just see a shadow of a robot.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the 2006 rom-com, Black stars as a famous music producer in Los Angeles who meets Winslet&#8217;s character, a U.K. resident enjoying a holiday thousands of miles from home. Throughout the movie, the characters fall for each other in what is now considered a classic for the season. In fact, just last week, the 48-year-old actress <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_5eG7JBYhio\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">told Jimmy Fallon<\/a><span> that these days, she is recognized out in public more for the Christmas film than she is for <\/span><em><span>Titanic<\/span><\/em><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;People come up to me in the street more about\u00a0<\/span><em><span>The Holiday<\/span><\/em><span>\u00a0and the episode of\u00a0<\/span><em><span>Extras\u00a0<\/span><\/em><span>that I did than <\/span><em><span>Titanic<\/span><\/em><span>,&#8221; <\/span><em><span>The Regime<\/span><\/em><span> star shared. &#8220;I promise you, especially at Christmas.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In December 2022, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/kate-winslet-reacts-to-the-holiday-sequel-rumors-imagines-tiny-jack-blacks-running-around-exclusive\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Winslet also spoke with ET<\/a><span> about whether or not rumors about a sequel to the much-beloved film held any water, saying, &#8220;As far as I know, it&#8217;s not true.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;I know, sadly it&#8217;s not true,&#8221; she said, adding that &#8220;it would be so fun to see Miles and Iris get back together.

Did you ever learn how to do this?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Awkwafina, clearly confused, looked on and quickly asked her friend and co-star, &#8220;What is that?&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the <\/span><em><span>Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/span><\/em><span> star, the move &#8212; which he calls &#8220;magic hands&#8221; &#8212; is something he discovered he could do at a very young age. Although, he says it&#8217;s very important to not just try it without knowing your limits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;But you got to be careful you don&#8217;t &#8212; you don&#8217;t want to do it if you don&#8217;t have full extension capabilities,&#8221; Black said. &#8220;I learned it when I was a kid.
