He is embarrassed by his appearance and happily agrees to roles where he can get away from the image of a “cute boy” imposed on him (and if he plays a handsome guy, he prefers that the character be killed). Although he himself is no longer a boy, two-time Oscar nominee Jude Law has long since reached his fifties.
Biography of Jude Law
Son of teachers
The family of London teachers Lowe had two children: Natasha and David Jude Hayworth. Already when the children grew up, the teacher primary classes Peter and English teacher Maggie were able to fulfill their dream: to open theater company. Their brainchild is based in France. And in the early 1970s, when Jude was born, they were barely making ends meet. As a teenager, Jude was forced to leave the capital's school: stronger guys bullied him. So he ended up in Dulwich, in a private boarding school.
Mom and dad were avid theatergoers, so it is not surprising that they strongly supported their son in his childhood and youth acting success. Having first appeared on stage at the age of 6, a few years later Lowe became a member of a youth theater troupe. And then there were filmings in a TV show. After school, Jude toured and performed on the capital's stage.
At the dawn of glory
In 1994, the young actor starred in the feature film “Shopping,” but the film failed at the box office. The biopic “Wilde” turned out to be much more successful. The guy played the lover of the great writer, played by Stephen Fry. In 1997, the scandalous premiere of Cocteau’s play “Terrible Parents” took place (the artist was not afraid to undress for the bathing scene). This role brought the performer a nomination for prestigious award, named after Laurence Olivier.
The same year, 1997, saw the premiere of the dystopian film “Gattaca.” The film, in which future stars Lowe, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke starred, was warmly received by the audience. And Jude also appeared in the form close friend the mysterious owner of the mansion, a boy who became a victim of murder (the film “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” directed by Clint Eastwood). Because of his appearance, the actor was often invited to play the roles of lovers or gay characters (the artist himself is straight).
Brilliant images!
Lowe's fame came from the drama The Talented Mr. Ripley. The rich and handsome playmaker Dickie Greenleaf brought his performer his first Oscar nomination.
The Briton's career was gaining momentum. He appeared either in the guise of the sniper Vasily (“Enemy at the Gates”), or in the form of an android gigolo (Spielberg’s “ Artificial intelligence"), then he became a gangster ("Dogs of London").
Jude Law received his second Oscar nomination for his work in the drama Cold Mountain. He also looked good in the star quartet of Nichols’s melodrama “Closer” (together with Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman).
The thriller “Detective” turned out to be an interesting experiment: the duet with Michael Caine was brilliant. The film by Kenneth Branagh was a remake of the film “The Game of Bangs,” in which Kane once played the same role that Lowe now plays.
And in 2009, Guy Ritchie invited the artist to play the role of Doctor Watson, an iconic character from the works of the great Conan Doyle. Jude turned out to be simply an amazing colleague of the eccentric Holmes-Downey Jr. He appeared not as a slightly simple-minded friend of the famous detective, but as an ironic intellectual, always “at hand” when circumstances required it. “Sherlock Holmes” and the film’s sequel are the pride of the actor’s filmography. We hope for the promised threequel! In the meantime, Jude starred in another Ritchie film, portraying the antagonist of the future King Arthur (Charlie Hunnam).
The TV drama "The Young Pope" was recently released, in which actor Jude Law played title character, a very unusual newly elected pope. Lowe's performance was praised, and the show's writers promised to continue the character's story (although it will most likely be a prequel).
Personal life of Jude Law
Father of many children
While working on the film “Shopping,” Lowe met his future wife, Sadie Frost (one of the most famous roles actresses - Lucy in Coppola's Dracula). The couple had a son, Rafferty, and a daughter, Iris; Sadie was “drowned” in household chores, while her husband’s career developed rapidly. Jude simply didn't have time to be with his family. And then there are rumors about an affair with Kidman on the set of “Cold Mountain”... The marriage was not saved by the third child, son Rudy. After living together for 6 years, these two divorced in 2003.
The romance between Jude and Sienna Miller was beautiful, but it also ended sadly: the actress accused her lover of treason (allegedly he had an affair with his own children’s nanny).
Jude found solace in the arms of model Samantha Burke; in the fall of 2009, the girl even gave birth to his daughter Sophia. But a few months later the tabloids announced: Sienna and Jude are back together! They spent Christmas with Lowe's children in exotic Barbados and seemed very happy. This time the lovers lasted for a year and two months: at the beginning of 2011, final break. In the spring of 2015, another ex-girlfriend of Lowe, Catherine Harding, gave birth to his fifth child, a girl
We've never seen Jude like this before!
The actor enthusiastically takes on new, rather risky roles: who would know what a wonderful, soulful and suffering Karenin this Briton would make (film adaptation of Anna Karenina)! We are more accustomed to a different interpretation of the image: a boring domestic tyrant.
Lowe is rooting for football team Tottenham, loves his children and nephews.
In 2014, he starred in the Russian-British-American adventure film “Black Sea”. They say we have never seen such a brutal Lowe! The Briton really wanted to come to Moscow for the premiere of the action film, but his busy work schedule did not allow it.
Childhood
Jude Law was born into a family of school teachers. Like many celebrities, he began his acting career while studying at school, and at the age of twelve he was accepted into the troupe of the National Musical Youth Theater. Lowe's classmates did not like him: in his first, ordinary school - for his pretense of aristocracy, when he transferred to private school- for proletarian origin.
However, Jude did not give up. Having dropped out of school with the permission of his understanding parents, he actively played in the theater, in such productions as “Snow Orchid”, “They Live Like Pigs” and “Death of a Trader”. The most successful among them is the tragicomedy “Terrible Parents,” for which Lowe was awarded the Laurence Olivier Award for best debutant. During the performance, Lowe walked around in whatever clothes his mother gave birth to, which significantly increased the ranks of admirers of his talent.
Star Trek
The film debut of actor Jude Law can be considered his role in the film “Shopping” (1994), which tells about car thieves. The film is notable for the fact that during filming Lowe met his future wife Sadie Frost, who, having abandoned her own career, became his personal agent. The opportunity to work with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman came in the film about a genetically perfect future, Gattaca (1997).
In the film Wilde, Jude plays the role of Lord Alfred Douglas, the handsome but hysterical lover of the writer, because of his passion for whom Wilde ends up in jail. Generally speaking, Lowe flirted with the theme of same-sex love in his other works. He was so talented at it that at one time there were rumors about him gay. In “The Wisdom of Crocodiles” (1998) he plays a vampire in search of his only lover, and on next year stars in David Cronenberg's science-fiction thriller Existence.
The opportunity to truly unleash his acting talent came to Jude Law in 1999 on the set of Anthony Minghella’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” It was with the role of Dickie Greenleaf - a representative of the "golden" youth, a favorite of women, squandering his father's fortune - that Jude Law finally convinced everyone that he was not just another pretty face in Hollywood. There was always some kind of piercing chill in the look of his sky-blue eyes, which only helped Jude in creating the image of the playmaker Greenleaf. The actor received a prize from the British Film Academy for Best Supporting Actor and nominations for the Golden Globe and Oscar.
Actor Jude Law is very sensitive to his work in the film Enemy at the Gates (2001), in which he starred in the role of Russian sniper Vasily Zaitsev. Lowe's second Golden Globe nomination was for his role as a robot lover in Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence. Next comes the critically acclaimed Road to Perdition (2002) and Cold Mountain"(2003). Pair former roles Michael Caine: a real gigolo in "Handsome Alfie" (2004) and participant love triangle in "Detective" (2007). Jude does not forget about romantic dramas and comedies: “Intimacy”, “Exchange Holiday”, “My Blueberry Nights”. From latest works most notable in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. Lowe plays Dr. Watson opposite Holmes and Downey Jr. The film is based on comic books, so you definitely shouldn’t expect a second Solomin from Jude. Jude’s successful works include roles in the films “The Timekeeper” and “Contagion,” filmed in 2011. In the fall of the same year, he began acting in the film adaptation of L. N. Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina, which was released in 2012.
Jude Law alternates dramatic and comedic roles in his work; in 2014, the film “The Grand Budapest Hotel” with the participation of the actor was released. And in 2015, his partner in film set Jason Statham appeared in the film Spy.
Jude Law - personal life
Jude Law was married to Sadie Frost and adopted her child from a previous marriage. Sadie gave birth to two more children from the actor - son Rafferty and daughter Iris. Jude even had a tattoo on his left arm in the form of the inscription You came along to turn on everyone, sexy Sadie (“You came and turned everyone on, sexy Sadie”). The marriage began to fall apart at the seams when Lowe began dating while filming Handsome Alfie. Sienna, in turn, could not stand Jude's affair with his children's nanny. They separated, then made up again, but not for long. In February 2011, they broke up completely.
Participation in this film turned into a sex scandal for Sienna. The actress was accused of being too realistic in sex scenes. Critics suggested that Miller actually had sex with her partner Hayden Christensen. Sienna denied the accusations, and the creators of the film stood up for her: they said that in addition to the actors, several other people were constantly present on the set, so there was no physiology, just a good game.
Fight (more than one) with Kate Moss
These two hate each other. As a rule, Kate is the initiator of the fight, but Sienna doesn’t let it go. Initially, Moss took revenge for her friend: the model communicates closely with ex-wife Jude Law Sadie Frost. Then it turned out that Kate was not indifferent to the fate of Miller’s new boyfriend, Rhys Ifans. The model threatened the actress that if even one hair fell from her friend’s head, it would be bad. Very bad. Miller was shocked.
Daniel Craig
Sienna had a fleeting affair with the future James Bond. Everything would be fine, but the affair happened even before Miller’s first breakup with Jude Law. One of Jude's relatives sold the information to the British tabloid News Of The Sun. Sienna was furious: by the way, she personally called Craig a mistake of the past. But this is the case when words no longer help matters much.
"Naked" photo shoots
Sienna undresses at any convenient (and not so convenient) occasion. She said a hundred times that she was never a good girl, and we, in general, believe her. Then the actress poses naked for men's magazine, then sunbathes without a swimsuit in the company oil millionaire- a father of four children who is “just a friend”... In general, Miller strives to bare himself in any incomprehensible situation. Probably to eclipse the old scandal with something fresh.
Jude Law
It seems that their whole romance with a sudden comeback was one big mistake. Firstly, because of Sienna, Jude left the family, and, as you know, oranges don’t grow on someone else’s misfortune. Secondly, they were not faithful to each other for a day: constant intrigues, quarrels, scandals and recrimination. Of course, it was thanks to her affair with Lowe that Sienna became famous: she began to be invited to serious projects, she had profitable contacts. Well, then Lowe got a nanny, because he’s not a good girl either. Miller, it seems, got what she deserved, although even the worst girls don't deserve this kind of treatment.
15 chosen
There are rumors in Hollywood about him as a sophisticated heartthrob who is easily ready to bring on-screen love stories to life.
And with the same partner.
This happened to him more than once.
The result is one broken marriage (his own) and the hype around his name, which can provide any aspiring actress with excellent PR...
Sadie Frost. Lowe's ex-wife, who fell under his spell on the set of Paul Anderson's film Shopping(1994). During the divorce, she not only did not blame the young homewrecker Sienna Miller, but rather blamed Judah for the fact that he paid little attention to Sadie after the third birth. And when the actor decided to “confirm” his status as a womanizer and cheated on Miller with the young nanny of his own children, Frost immediately calculated the latter, and in her place took a woman old enough to be Jude’s mother: “I don’t want our children to constantly have an example of irresponsible behavior. An older lady, I think, will not stoop to the level of a young twit, so Sienna Miller can sleep peacefully and not worry.”
Jude tried to save the marriage (after all, 6 years official relations and 9 – from the moment of acquaintance – a serious period), but in vain. Although now - for the sake of the children - ex-spouses maintain friendly relations.
Sienna Miller. She met Lowe during a casting on the set of the film. Handsome Alfie, or What Men Want(2004). Their romance (more precisely, the first part of the novel) was more reminiscent of the Brownian movement: the lovers were thrown from one extreme to another. Then they announced their engagement and wedding, which was to take place in as soon as possible; then they parted ways with scandals, quarreling to smithereens; then they came together again and walked, tenderly holding hands. And then Jude did the stupid thing mentioned above... They didn’t communicate for two years, but in 2008 they began to be noticed more and more often together. They are still dating. Every now and then there is talk in the press about the exact dates of the wedding, but this moment is still very much in doubt...
Lily Cole. Until now, no one can say for sure what happened between the young people on the set of the film. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus(2008), but rumors circulated in the press for quite a long time that the aspiring model and actress (by the way, a very beginner) spent stormy night in the house famous actor. But since both sides remain silent, and Jude even officially refused to pose with Cole for a photo when one tourist asked permission to film the couple on his phone. Therefore, the tabloids could only grind out the stories of potential eyewitnesses of how Lily and Jude tenderly looked at each other. By the way, after this scandal, Lily’s career took off sharply, which gave rise to new versions of a pre-planned PR move on the part of the film’s producers.
