Jude Law
Jude Law is the rising British star on the horizon. Being a versatile and
prolific actor every one of his movies is a great crowd pleaser. A Jude Law
production, gives everyone else a run for their money at the Awards.
Jude was born to Peter and Maggie on December 29, 1972, in Lewisham, Southern
East London and grew up in Blackheath. Law is second in line to his elder sister
Natasha who is a photographer. His real name is David Jude Law and makes one
wonder whether the name was derived from the Beatle’s "Hey Jude" or from Thomas
Hardy’s "Jude the Obscure."
Jude’s father was a primary school teacher and his mother Maggie taught refugee
children English. Now both father and mother have their own theatrical company
in France. Jude studied at John Ball Primary School in Blackheath and Alleyn’s
School at Dulwich. Law started acting at the young age of 12 with the National
Youth Music Theatre and due to heavy schedules dropped out of school at the
prime age of 17.
Ladder to Fame
Law started his major career as Foxtrot Darling in Philip Ridley’s "The Fastest
Clock in the Universe." His next endeavor saw him as Michael for a West End
Productions, "Indiscretions" which was a remake of John Cocteau’s movie "Les
Parents Terribles" where he was cast opposite Kathleen Turner, Roger Rees and
Cynthia Nixon.
Jude’s first major stint came with the much talked about and popular British
drama "Shopping" which by the way also had his wife to be, Sadie Frost, cast
alongside him. He became popular with "Wilde" where he played the part of Lord
Alfred Douglas.
Jude moved to Hollywood and earned a name for movies like "Gattaca." Other
famous movies include "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," "Road to
Perdition," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Enemy at the Gates." "The Talented
Mr. Ripley" won Jude the Best Supporting Actor in the year 2000, and later in
2004 he received an award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for "Cold Mountain."
Personal Life & Trivia
Law was married to Sadie Frost in 1997. The marriage brought in 3 children two
sons and one daughter namely Rafferty, Rudy and Iris. He also has a step son
named Finley Kemp.
Jude and Frost completed divorce proceedings in 2003, and this settlement made
Frost rich by $4 million!
Jude was engaged to Sienna Miller in 2005. He apologized, publicly, for having a
fling with the nanny, Daisy Wright. Jude was shocked to hear Miller was
privately dating Daniel Craig. The buzz is that he is at present dating Liza
Rtishchev who was worked with him as his assistant.
On November 17, 2004, Jude was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive."
