Happy Birthday: Jude Law

Jude Law

Born: December 29, 1972 in Lewisham, London, England, UK

The truth is, one can work for another ten years and be playing parts, pushing yourself as hard as you can, and you are still accused of that. You’re still tainted with that brush. I’m not called Jude Law, I have three names; I’m called ‘Hunk Jude Law’ or ‘Heartthrob Jude Law’. In England anyway, that’s my full name. That’s the cheap language that’s thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn’t look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.
