Jude Law Breaks Down His Career, from 'The Holiday' to 'The New Pope' | Vanity Fair

[sallie]

Honestly, the way he speaks is so calming and interesting: he is always so enthusiastic and almost philosophical. I could listen to him speak for hours.

[pinkyhandle]

I’m SO glad that he validates that he enjoyed doing the Sherlock films with RDJ, because their on screen chemistry was superb and a real rapport is shown.

[ThePauseMenuVlog]

Nothing more satisfying than watching a legendary actor have such humble memories and modesty to live and talk within with such earnest respect

[Sarah-cdmj]

Jude Law is timeless. His acting is phenomenal and his voice was made for audiobooks!

its been 21 years and jude in talented mr ripley is still the hottest thing ever

[nehirakinn]

Rise of The Guardians is such an underrated movie. I know it's animated but Jude Law was the perfect villain.

[robertclayton]

Quite simply, this has been the best interview in this series. It is so refreshing to hear an actor who is so enthused by his profession and has great respect for his fellow actors and directors. He literally lit up my small I phone screen with his passion ! A true national treasure!

[charod]

Jude Law In “The Talented Mr.Ripley” is one of my personal favorites of his.

[nutauf]

Ironically the fact he's so good looking makes you forget how great an actor he is

[rebekahmenn]

This is by far the best episode of this Vanity Fair series I've seen. This is how I wish all actors would talk about their roles - giving us fun anecdotes from their time on set, talking about their costars, telling us how much fun they had. Jude Law is such a joy to listen to in this video.

[bored.in.california]

I just realized something, it's just him speaking. I've seen many of these types of videos of actors speaking of their career and it just hit me how refreshing it is that there isn't an interviewer asking questions. Especially when it's the interrupting type.

"There is a pressure, but you dissolve the pressure by working hard." - Jude Law

[hollyjanson]

He is the reason my 9yr old son is named Jude. My husband tells everyone it's after the Beatles song but it is because of this man and his amazing movies!

[imBocaaa]

I adore his voice. His narration in A Series of Unfortunate Events and in Grand Budapest is just so wonderfully soothing and cosy.

[gilsonbicudo]

I simply love Gattaca!! It is probably one of the most underated filme EVER because, in fact, it is incredible in all aspects: cast, plot, colors, etc.

[TheTVSol]

Jude Law is one of these rare actors who is interesting to watch and listen to. Because he himself seems genuinely interested in what he talks about. Some would say - it's his career, of course he will be interested. But I assume many of us have seen lots of actors here, and most of them show no enthusiasm if not to say that they are so over it! And I believe it's totally Jude's personal merit that he respects his audience and himself enough to appear as his genuine, passionate, naturally humorous, intelligent and giving self!

[kalenzypie]

Jude is so breathtakingly handsome in glasses. His voice is incredible and it was perfect to be Lemony Snicket! Loved him in The Holiday

[Maryyeung]

The Holiday is my favorite Christmas movie. Watch it every year. It's my family's favorite too.

[maryrosekent]

It’s nice to hear him say he read to his children—children who are read to become readers. One of my happiest and earliest memories is sitting next under my grandfather’s arm (he was a carpenter, so it was a huge, solid arm) as he read me _The Three Billygoats Gruff_ (or whatever the proper title is—it’s been 60 years) and feeling so safe and so loved.
