Jude Law Shares “Delusion, Madness, Panic” Meant He Almost Rejected ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’


The British actor starred in the hit 1999 movie adaptation alongside Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The Talented Mr Ripley film, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon and Philip Seymour Hoffman, was directed by Oscar winner Anthony Minghella and went on to make more than $120million at the box office. Law’s most recent role in the film Firebrand sees him take on a late-life King Henry VIII, famous for having six wives and wielding his power capriciously in Tudor England. Law, who worked with shamed producer Harvey Weinstein on the film Cold Mountain in 2003, told The Times the fallen mogul must have crossed his mind in channelling the tyrannous monarch.
