    Jude Law's Son Almost Gave Up His Acting Dream Due to the Shadow of His Parents' Fame

    Rafferty Law, Jude’s son with actress Sadie Frost, is hesitant to pursue a career in the entertainment industry for fear of living under the shadow of his famous parents.

    Jan 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Jude Law and Sadie Frost’s son Rafferty came close to turning his back on his acting dreams over the pressure to live up to his father’s career success.
    The 24 year old began having second thoughts about his chosen profession as a teen because he knew he’d inevitably be compared to his Oscar-nominated dad.
    “At school, I always loved being in plays from a young age, but when I was about 15 I started hesitating,” Rafferty Law shared. “I felt if the comparison and the pressure were going to be there, maybe music was more for me.”
    “But then I also felt like I owed it to myself to see if I could work hard and do it, and I’m really happy that I did.”

    And Rafferty, who also enjoyed a brief stint as a model, knew he could turn to Jude for advice when he landed his first major leading role in upcoming Oliver Twist tale, “Twist”.
    “Growing up we always went on adventures together. I was obsessed with The Lord of the Rings and would make him take me to Primrose Hill (in London), where we’d run around and create our own fairytale world, dressing up and making up plays,” Rafferty recalled.
    “With Twist he gave me a bit of advice before filming: stay calm, stay confident, make sure you get to know everyone, go and introduce yourself, learn everyone’s names and make the set a fun environment.”
    Although “The Talented Mr. Ripley” star is the more famous parent, Rafferty’s mum Sadie also started out as an actress, most notably appearing in Francis Ford Coppola’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” in 1992, and starring opposite her future husband Jude in Paul W. S. Anderson’s directorial debut “Shopping” in 1994. She took a step back from acting in the late 1990s to focus on raising the couple’s three children, as well as her oldest son Finlay, from her first marriage to Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp.

      Jude Law Warned of Covid-19 Pandemic by Real Scientists on Set of 'Contagion' Years Ago

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor says he ‘wasn’t hugely surprised’ by the global coronavirus pandemic because of his experience on the set of his 2011 movie.

      Nov 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jude Law “wasn’t hugely surprised” by the Covid-19 pandemic after starring in 2011 movie “Contagion”.
      The 47-year-old actor appeared as Alan Krumwiede in the film, which chronicles the spread of a deadly virus. Speaking to GQ magazine about his role in the movie, Jude he always believed that something similar would happen in the real world.
      “There was absolutely the sense that this was going to happen,” he mused. “The great scientists on set with us who had worked with Scott (Z. Burns) the writer and (director) Steven (Soderbergh) were very learned and experienced individuals who knew what to expect. And they all said to us that this was going to happen – and it was a case of when rather than if.”
      “The way they described it, which is exactly as it has happened, just made sense. What’s scary is you learn in a set like that because you’re being advised by experts, but it doesn’t necessarily sit.”

      Jude added that, when he first started hearing reports of the Covid-19 virus and its start in China, his “alarm bells” started going off.
      “When 2020 started, and we heard about what was initially happening in China, what fast became apparent around the world, it rang alarm bells,” he said. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t hugely surprised.”
      Meanwhile, his co-star Kate Winslet said in a separate interview earlier this year that the 2011 movie prepared her for the horrors of the coronavirus pandemic.
      “People thought I was crazy because I had been walking around wearing a mask for weeks, going into the grocery store and wiping everything down with isopropyl alcohol and wearing gloves,” she told the The Hollywood Reporter. “Then all of a sudden, March 13 came around, and people were like, ‘F**k, where do I get one of those masks?'”
