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.
if both lads (Law & Goldblum) were existentialist philosophers, Jude would be like Kierkegaard, calm and collected Jeff would be more of Sartre, he has this way of craziness. hahaha!
Andy Serkis and Ben Kingsley also did episodes of this series and they give off that same energy. Awesome, calm and humble. (Edit - Those episodes are by GQ, not Vanity Fair, my mistake!)
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.
I was obsessed with the duo upon the release of the first movie. I'm sure many of their interviews are RU-vid but they definitely formed a bromance while finished Holmes and Watson and were confronted by it often in interviews.
To be honest I haven't seen the films since they came out and I hardly remember anything about them; what I do remember is enjoying the characters of Holmes and Watson as played by Downey Jr and Jude Law.

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!
It’s happening! They’ve been waiting since Downey was free to do it! But they’re set to start filming this year. Jude law is also coming back and dexter fletcher who did rocketman is directing this time around.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Love this actor because he is so humble and grateful about every job he landed + I like how he always tells great stories (some funny and some really fascinating) + let's face it this guy is handsome (it's bonus)
Thanks for the video! One nitpick though. There's really no need for so many cuts when it's just a man sitting in a chair and talking. It's kinda jarring.
At one point they just cut out the end of his sentence. At 17:29 he says "I'd go running in the morning, when it wasn't" [cut] "We stayed all of us together in this little hotel."
That's really not true. He's done some real dud films. He's got a pretty patchy career and some of his acting has been, if not bad, then samey. But there have been some standout roles and movies.
@@13strong you are mistaken....I didn't say all his FILMS are classics...and Meryl can definitely be samey I stand by what I said...Jude's cruising altitude is Oscar-worthy
@@theblueangel28 Eh? You said he deserves an Oscar nom every time he's on screen (really? For Alfie? For Sky Captain?) and that he never falters. He definitely does.
Jude is one love! I've always thought that he is so genuine. He is not a show-off and attention seeker. This interview is precious, it's just great to see that someone you admire is hard worker and a modest, decent person, despite being so famous and handsome. I wish him all a great career and recognition. He's still young (my age, hee hee)
Same for my mom! She has her own list of feel-good movies that she constantly rewatches, and the Holiday is one of them (also the most endurable for me, lol)
I saw it opening weekend in a theater in Boston, and during the opening scene, the girls next to me sighed loudly and said "Jude Law!!!". My thoughts exactly, girls!
1997: Ethan Hawke plays a fake version of Jude Law. 1999: Matt Damon plays a fake version of Jude Law. 2001: Initially Jude Law was going to wear a Jude Law mask, thereby playing a fake version of himself.
Where is Anna Karenina? Karenin was played marvelously by Jude. It was probably his first not sexy but very serious role of not very young unloved man. 24 minutes for Law's long amazing career..?
You left out so many incredible films it was heart breaking. Contagion, Enemy at the Gates, Road to Perdition, Repo Men (all time fav.), A Series of Unfortunate Events, Sky Captain, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Wisedom of Crocodiles aka Immortality... the list is seemingly endless.
I find Jude Law's presence on screen so calming and comforting as he was in many beloved films of my childhood. There are just some actors that leave such a powerful impression on you. There is something about him that inspires me creatively.
He is such a talented actor and he's always made great choices in his career. I really wish they had talked about Wilde. That was the first film I came to know him and begin falling in love with him. Ripley sent that to another level. :)
Being a Russian guy, i like his British accent very much indeed, great inspiration and acting and language he speaks, humble actor, one of the best in modern time
Loved this interview, I didn't realize how many of JL's films I've seen. And what a great guy he is! Wish they'd included Anna Karenina, that movie had such an interesting visual style, I'd love to hear his comments on it. Plus he gave the best performance in it, honestly. Gave me such heart for Karenin.
To be honest acting is genuinely difficult. Throughout my High-schooling I always took Drama and Acting as a subject, and it’s EXTREMELY difficult at times; there’s so many rules you have to follow whilst having to perform in front of people battling your nerves. At one point I wanted to pursue an acting career, but I’m not a very extroverted person soo oof
The first movie I saw him in was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and I couldn’t get over how handsome he was and I was so bummed his time in the film was so short
Actually, Jude is such a great theater actor. I enjoyed seeing him on stage more than anything. As an actor he goes deep. He was great in Ripley, but Matt Damon was incredible.
I'm still amazed that it's even possible to look like that 😮 And I don't mean to focus only on that, I know he's also a great actor and a great guy. The looks part is just so hard to believe 😂
rotenhoko the holiday is a surprisingly adorable movie. I’m not a fan of Cameron Diaz and can’t stand the thought of her with the incredibly handsome Jude Law, and then the darling Kate Winslet with the typically dopey Jack Black?! It shouldn’t work, but it does, and it does so beautifully. Darling film.
Yes, but your movie does have such classic lines as (McClane) "Well, Yippie-Ki-Yay MotherF***er!" So in fact Die Hard actually has more of a love story... If you love explosions! WHAOO!
@@jaspreetdigpal2777 there is this Kevin Bacon video, it is 44 minutes long and he talks about almost every film he has ever made; I want that kind of videos from these legendary actors who have worked with incredible casts and crews.
