Jude Law’s Triumphant Return: The Actor on ‘Star Wars’ Secrets, Going Full Frontal, Marvel and ‘Ripley’ Homoeroticism
Jude Law discusses his newest projects, joining the world of 'Star Wars,' going nude when it's called for and his future playing Dumbledore.
Standing on a New York street corner, in the same city where he arrived 30 years ago as a broke Englishman for his Broadway debut in the play “Indiscretions,” Law, 51, seems to occupy the past and the present all at once — a serious, seasoned actor escaping the memory of overwhelming fame, when the tabloids used to write destructive stories about his personal life. After “The Order” won over Venice, Law jetted to the Toronto Fim Festival for the unveiling of “Eden,” Ron Howard’s trippy drama, set on an island in the Galápagos, inspired by another real-life story about a group of settlers who wanted extreme privacy. He broke out big in 1999’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley” as Dickie Greenleaf, a hunky American playboy on a never-ending vacation in Italy, and graduated to playing a forlorn Confederate soldier in 2003’s “Cold Mountain” (he received Oscar nominations for those films, both directed by Anthony Minghella).
