Biography

David Jude Heyworth Law (now you know that isn’t there just a little part of you that wants to call him ’Dave’?) was born on December 29 1972 in the thoroughly un-glam Lewisham, London, to teachers Peter and Maggie. Taken out of school after he was bullied, Jude started acting at the age of twelve, first at the National Youth Music Theatre then at the Guildhall School, although he later dropped out.

Jude’s early stage roles included that of Foxtrot Darling in The Fastest Clock In The Universe and Michael in Indiscrections (he would reprise this role on Broadway later in his career). Following a part in crappy soap opera Families, Jude was cast in cult Brit-flick Shopping, alongside Sadie Frost and took a part in the acclaimed Wilde. Moving to Hollywood proved, to begin with, a good choice for Law who garnered recognition in Gattaca, Road to Perdition and The Talented Mr Ripley, for which he was nominated for an Oscar (he was again nominated for Cold Mountain).

However, Law’s reign of the box office was not to last. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was a major miss while the remake of Alfie was one of 2004’s worst films. Jude is currently working on Sleuth and Mr Blueberry Nights. There are also rumours that he will appear in the next Superman movie.

Jude’s personal life has taken as many twists and turns as his professional one. From his turbulent marriage to fellow Natural Nylon owner Sadie Frost, which culminated in rumours of wife swapping and affairs to his on/off engagement to young actress Sienna Miller who called time on their relationship after finding out that Jude had been shagging the nanny Jude has become a legendary cad. He has two sons, Rafferty and Rudy and a daughter, Iris with Sadie plus a receding hairline which bears much resemblance to that of Phil Collins’. Just think of that next time you’re having a ’Dave fantasy’ ladies...
