Jude Law Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ - Zábava
His performance in "The Talented Mr Ripley" is tremendous and should have won him the Oscar.
Everyone should have a talent
Agreed. I would have loved to see him win for Cold Mountian too. Though losing out to Sean Penn for Mystic River isn't a bad thing. Either way I don't think the other could feel robbed.
he did win the Oscar
@@michaelpierce3264 Sean Penn did.
Agreed, he played the snobby rich kid so well
Gattaca is still a criminally underrated sci-fi movie.
It really is a sci-fi gem.
My science teacher in high school would have his new batch of seniors watch it every year, so when my grade got to it we were excited. He'd said watching it made him cry every time, and it totally did.
Who says it is underrated?
criminal... its murder how underrated
@@michaelwayneosborn4114 now really. Why do you say it is underrated? It is hailed as one of the best scifis ever.
GQ i am fuming right now how dare you just skip over the cinematic masterpiece that is the holiday
it is a holiday staple for me!
@captain_ahab how can you hate jack black? Its my most favorite character of him
Its in Vanity fair, he talks about the holiday
Yuupp. The music is so amazing, i honestly watch in 3 times a year.
@@howler9503 yeh he can be sorta annoying at times, but he is so precious in the holiday. love every bit of that movie
30 minutes of Jude Law speaking...this is my new form of meditation.
Same... ))) Everything is Sooo Incredible about Jude Law...
That realistic crack on Dickie G's head with the oar and the reaction was so realistic my jaw literally dropped when I saw it in the cinema. Masterpiece of a film.
Gattaca really is such a treasure - I wish it had more recognition but it does feel like those who know, know. I'm happy to see that Jude speaks highly of it, knows of it's importance and talks about playing a paraplegic man.
Both him and Ethan Hawk were great. So was Uma Thurman. Wish they would make more movies like these. Instead of the CGI filled crap that are made for teenagers.
His camera must be terrible. Just look at the wall behind him.
@@theviewer102 Excactly. Moon and Caché were the last ones I watched which had quality.
he did a great job in that film. you really feel the regret and frustration but also brilliance and intelligence of his character.
Movie violence never really makes me feel anything but that scene in Ripley is one of the most realistic and shocking scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. So well done and unexpected
That scene freaked me out 😵 Such a great movie with great actor's.
Really. It was so graphic it almost made me sick. I had to stop watching after that.
I have never watched the movie yet... only to notice the scene on this. w.t.f. It was too realistic. *WHACK* (at least 2.5 seconds later) blood flows! SHOCK ENSUES
I showed that movie to my wife (who crushes hard for Jude Law) a few months ago without any hint of what kind of movie it would be, just waiting to see how she'd react to the boat scene.
@@rossbooth4635 haha… so how did she react?
The Talented Mr Ripley is such a great film. And it's aged incredibly well! It looks gorgeous and the cast give perfect performances.
It has a very memorable, underappreciated score too.
He was perfectly cast as Dickie, so charming.
Dangerously beautiful indeed.
Even the clothes Dickie wore deserved an award
The director said only a Brit could play that type of rich collegiate in the 50's.
one of the best casting jobs in the industry for sure
Jude Law: I'm gonna put the webcam against these pictures, they'll make a nice background
GQ: Ight! we gotta blur them pics
Haha right I was just thinking that! Poor Jude, it looked like a nice set up too! 😅
Love to know what those pics were,that they had to blur them out
@@Scotto6977 there are other recent interviews out there where you can see them clearly
@@Ivanisasi ok,cool. Ty
Yeah GQ messed up.
I can’t believe he didn’t talk about The Holiday
He talked about it on vanity fair video @xxAlexixx88
It's pretty lightweight material.
@@steveconn I don't think it is.
Whenever he did talk about it, it's clear he's very fond of the movie and said that out of all the movies he has made "The Holiday" is the movie people mention to him the most. Because it means a lot to them.
It's just a fantastic movie. And so much more than just a romantic comedy. I mean...even Hans Zimmer made one of his greatest scores for this.
@@Ninaofthe90s It's basically a yuppie fantasy house-swap holiday film.
What about the Oscar Wilde film?
Gattica is a masterpiece, Jude Law gave an incredible performance.

Thank you. You are the best

Bless you.
Repo men still gets zero recognition
MVP! 🙌
Enemy at the gates is underrated
Yeah it is
I was expecting his comments on Alfie. Such an underrated role. My favorite movie of him.
And enemy at the gates.
unfortunately he himself didn't like "Alfie", which is why you won't hear him talk about it 😮
@@Ninaofthe90s What problem did he have with it?
I hated the story line of Alfie; but, thought he was rich in doing a reprieve to Michael's original.
It needed an update; and, it was so relevant in the time.
I love so much that film is a shame he didn't talk about it
Still one of the most beautiful men ever. He's just stunning, always has been.
Yeah, but based on your avatar, I'm Cumberbatched or Benedictted.
Jude in the movie Wilde as Oscar Wilde's lover in the movie was so pretty.
So true!👏👏
@@rumblefish9 a powerful film
Jude Law and Phillip Seymour Hoffman created an incredibly great privileged pair in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
"How's the peeping, Tommy? How's the peeping?"
people notice too much nowadays if other people are privileged or not
@staircase2 is that not true? I mean we are living in a second gilded age, its to be expected.
@@carlosparra8976 It's a key element of that particular story.
@@carlosparra8976 Should we not notice the deepening untenable inequality ruining the U.S? What a silly notion
Am I missing something or did they forgot "Enemy at the Gates" the movie about the infamous Russian sniper Vasily Zaytsev?!
This is one of the best Law's roles he played!
That's crazy it's literally the first movie that comes to my mind when I hear about Jude Law
I don't know. Yeah, Jude Law, Joseph Feinnes, Kiera Knightly, Bob Hoskins. They're all brilliant, they always are. The battle of Stalingrad, the sniper battle within. All true. But better than "Ripley?"
He mentioned it very briefly, I thought he would talk about it later
He was so good in Gattaca and also The Talented Mr. Ripley. He just seemed so real in both roles.
why is nobody talking about Artificial Intelligence ???? that film was a masterpiece and he was beyond brilliant in it. am i showing my age??
Finally I saw someone comment about thissss ughh 😭
Indeed he performed brilliantly there but for some reasons that movie gives me the creeps
You mean talking about it in the comments? He mentioned it at 6:02
Served him drinks once , really nice guy.
Bartender's dream (worth the thousands of useless drunks).
That's cool to hear actually
where was it?
he bought breakfast at a cafe where i was working, will never forget this blue eyes. i was soo shaky, i could barely take the 5 pound note he gave me
G & T?
Jude Law is such an amazing actor. I saw him on stage years ago in Henry V and as soon as he entered the stage, you could just feel his power and charisma. Henry 5 is a difficult role, and he did it justice. And I think he’s even sexier now at 50, with his receding hairline and grey beard , than when he was younger.
Yes, I agree, I also saw him as Henry V as part of the Grandage season. He was also wonderfully charismatic in "Anna Christie" in the tiny Donmar. Only about 200 seats so we were all very close to the actors.
I don’t understand how a balding head can be sexier than a full head of hair, but maybe he looks more approachable now.
Even his voice is still gorgeous. Thank you, Jude. You are still wonderful. Don't stop.
I was hoping to hear about how he and a couple other actors stepped in to play Heath Ledgers role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
We're the others Johnny Depp & Colin Farrell?
@@samanthab1923 Yes.
Especially when the three of them donated their wages to Matilda, Heath’s daughter
He's already talked about that.
In fact, he was quite insightful and tender about moving the entire horrid circumstance beyond the loss of Heath and on to getting the film finished---for the love of the art, the story, the director; and, the love for Heath.
Yeah, and Sleuth, Existenz, and Enemy at the Gates. He's among my absolute favorites
Closer is such an underrated movie. Feel like nobody talks about it.
I absolutely love Closer. All 4 of the main characters give excellent performances. I've never seen another movie that dealt with relationships, infidelity, love, and heart break better.
AGREE!
I love this movie. Did u know it was a play?
@@leahswenson7776 no, I didnt know it was a stage play. How interesting!
One of my faves too!
Vsauce, Jude Law here
🤣🤣🤣
Clicked on this video exclusively to find and like this comment.
No Wisdom of the Crocodiles? No Holiday? No Enemy at the Gates? Not even Alfie?
Uh, Jude is far more sedate with his eyes and brows than that doofus VSauce.
Research “flat earth clues” or watch my channel.
@@theubercaste peddle your tinfoil buffoonery and self promote elsewhere.
The Talented Mr. Ripley is one of my favourite movie of all time. I love everyone in it.
Beautiful voice, eyes, smile.. gorgeous, intelligent man. I love his movies: Holidays, Closer, Alfie, Young Pope… I love all his movies. He's my favorite actor. ❤️
They should have mentioned his role as Bosie in Wilde - Law's performance really put him on the map as an actor. He was brilliant.
Yeah there's always some bizarre omissions in these actor career interviews and that definitely should've been included as could Alfie have been considering it was a remake even if not a great one. I also wish he'd done enemy at the gates as that muddy cold environment must've been intense.
I’m glad him and Robert Downey JR got on so well and was nice to hear about Sherlock Holmes both 1 and 2 are one of my favourite films!
You should see episodes of the Graham Norton with the two.
Jude Law. What an artist, an entertainer, a storyteller. Kudos, Jude! Kudos!
He's the type of actor who's still getting better(like Anthony Hopkins)and one of the most charismatic actors in the world
Gattaca such an underrated film.
Yes. Also I immediately fell in love with him, I think it was 1997 and all these years later he's still the best
Changed my life
Well now I'm going on a Jude Law binge 🍿🎬📽️
i will forever be obsessed with jude law
Gattaca is a masterpiece. Is still my favorite movie to this day. Jude Law and Ethan Hawks are just brilliant. The plot is amazing... I mean... Pure love.
I always gave him respect for loosing his hair with dignity and not going the fake hair route
Thought of the same thing exactly. Very classy.
I’ll give him more respects if he shaves it. 💯👌🏼
@@IndianaJones1219 doesn't make much sense to be bald when he's playing young dumbledore...
also he looks absolutely amazing like this.
@Nelson Gonzalez dafuk hes already bald. I suppose u meant he did it when he was young?
He still is so handsome
I wish he’d mentioned Grand Budapest Hotel. What a great film! And I’m guessing what a set to be on.
He talks about the movie in a Vanity Fair video
What a wonderful career. I’ve always admired his ability to create a new character and inhabit it so well that we don’t see “Jude” anymore.
Philip Seymour Hoffman stood out in that brief role, in 'The Talented Mr Ripley'...
Freddie!
He stood out in every role, hes one of the greatest actors to ever live. In my opinion hes right up there at the top.
@@chriswilson1968 Agreed: Hoffman won an Oscar, Screen Guild, and Golden Globe. NYU Tisch School alum!
He certainly did. May he Rest In Peace.
Gattaca was the first movie i really had to analyze and pick apart for a class and it was the first time i really paid attention to details in set, costumes, dialogue, etc and it was absolutely mind blowing. will always be one of my favorite movies because of that.
felt so much serenity watching him talking about some of his 'majors' roles. absolutely was looking forward to seeing this since it came out. i simply adore him.
I don't know why but it still shocks me just how articulate and well versed this guy actually is
True
It’s almost like his job is to read a lot of dialogue and to speak it out coherently.
@@Liusila more coherent than your face :)
He was just the most handsome thing in Ripley 😘
Wilde... watch that movie.
R R You're right. Any of those early movies of his. Gattaca & even Midnight in the Garden of .....,
I'm glad he had a lot to say about the Young Pope. That was a lovely, strange series.
Closer is one of the best relationship films I’ve ever seen. Anyone who’s had a heartbreak or been with the love of their life should watch it.
He's a very good actor. What he does in theatre is even more than just good. We should appreciate him more.
I love this man so much. Great professional and top class actor. Pity he only mentioned Enemy at the Gates. That is his most iconic role for me, love that movie.
yes yes yes yesss! I love this so much! I'm a huge fan of Jude Law and I remember his movies being part of my life ever since I was so little. This man is so so talented and I'm so happy he hasn't relied on just his looks in his career, but instead made iconic movies that will be remembered long after he's gone.
Talented Mr.Ripley is suchhh a great movie. Insane performances on his and Matt Damons parts.
I also loved his role in Road to Perdition. Genuinely one of the creepiest movie characters ever.
There's a very clammy feeling to his character. Kind of hunched over and lethal.
Yes! He was so good in that. Such a good but sad film
One of my favorite movies, is so underrated. And Jude Law was so creepy, amazing performance by everyone, off course Tom Hanks and Paul Newman, but Jude Law and specially Daniel Craig were incredible.
The scene where he follows Tom Hanks into the diner is so creepy. You’re hanging on the edge of your seat, waiting to see how things will unfold, because you know Jude Law’s character, Harlan, is up to no good. When he describes his profession to Tom Hanks’ character, Michael Sullivan, it immediately creeps you out.
Somewhat disappointed he wasn’t asked about playing Alfie. My favorite role of his. Great man!
Enemy at the gates was one of his best movies and he only just mentioned it!
Too bad he did not elaborate.
It shits me that they speak in cockney when they’re Russian....
@@WallabeeChamp31 Chernobyl is really going to get you.
Yes! I rewatched that about 10x, it was so good.
what about Dom Hemingway?
Cold Mountain is one of my all time favorite movies. Acted so well by everyone. Beautiful story with a backdrop of pure nightmare. Emotional rollercoaster of a movie.
I just watched that Film recently and I really Agree with that.. Jude is Killing on that Character
Really starting to grow into his Dumbledore role with that beard.
DumbleDAMN as some would say.
He really resembles Jared Harris now.
Yes, I noticed that too. And I'm pleased about it. He is my favourite Dumbledore's actor (including Harry Potter movies).
I didn't think about that! So it has to do w/ the movie!?
The talented Mr Ripley is by far the most underrated movie ever
It's one of my all time favorites.
@Monotech2.0 Yeah ! It got barely any awards when it should’ve gotten a a few. Although for a few years now people are starting to give it the credit it deserves.
@@nataliaalfonso2662 it’s my all time favourite for sure
Damon said it was his favorite role.
@@antoineceolin5861 it's not that underrated...it was nominated for 5 academy awards and Jude Law won the bafta for best supporting actor. It was nominated for more than 30 awards and it made Jude Law a huge star. It also made more than 100 million dollars - which is huge for a movie like this. There are other movies that don't even get nominated because no one really knows about them and they weren't financially successful either. This movie is not one of them.
Jude is so underrated actor because of his good looking. I love his performance and his faith in acting.
PLEASE EVERYONE WATCH THE YOUNG POPE!!!
I love Jude Law.
Criminally overlooked amazing actor.
He should've won so many awards for The Young Pope. Wonderful performance.
I would thoroughly enjoy listening to him talk all day!
Jude Law starred in some of my favorite films, particularly Gattaca and Talented Mr. Ripley! Brilliant actor!
I love Jude Law his works are pure. A gentleman, a Brit.
I first discovered and was impressed by him in Gattaca, which was an amazing film. I also loved him in Cold Mountain ( he nailed a US southern accent) and Enemy at the Gates. He's such a great actor!
Closer was excellent. So honest about relationships. His downward look when Clive said he effed Natalie spoke volumes ("So this is how life is").
Fun fact that I’m surprised Jude himself didn’t mention. When he was 19, he had a very minor role in one of the episodes of the old Grenada Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series. He was in Shoscombe Old Place and played a character called Joe Barnes.
the only Sherlock Holmes that I respect.
That RDJ bullsh*t is just.... ugh
thats amazing whaat :]
I know that the film is no cinematic masterpiece, but where is "Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow"?
It was a groundbreaking film and certainly a unique experience that warrants at least a minute or two I'd think.
Youre right! I loved it and i would love a sequel!! But i think its beacause no one liked it! wasnt soo popular as Iron man😠
Great movie, I loved the look of it.
Movies missing in this video and which deserved to be mentioned:
Wilde (1997)
Enemy at the Gates (2001)
The Aviator (2004)
All the King's Men (2005)
Anna Karenina (2012)
Side Effects (2013)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Vox Lux (2018)
Jude is always great. He should have won Oscar for 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. Such a great performance. And 'Ripley' is one of the best movies in the past 25 years.
I have just watched The Talented Mr. Ripley and what a film.
Every time GQ do these they always miss the best ones. He mentioned Enemy at the gates which I think is an awesome movie.
This was a great insight and the fact he was able to talk without the need to provide entertainment let it be so informative
Excellent, candid, generous overview of an amazing career by a truly inspiring actor. Thank you Jude & GQ.
I’m still awfully sour we haven’t gotten a third and final installment to the Sherlock Holmes movies.
Some great films here. Wish they would have included “Enemy at the Gates”, however.
they really should have include it, it was one of his first main lead roles and its a good movie
Yeah WTF?!?!
I wonder if they recorded it and cut it out.
Enemy at the gates is easily one of his best movies. Jude has actually been in a a lot of really solid movies. Also a lot of different types, although he is generally the same sort of character in most.
This movie would have been perfect, if they were talking on their native languages, still my all time favorite though.
Jude Law is an incredible actor and so good looking.
And he has a beautiful speaking voice 💙
I just watched "The Holiday" the other day. 🎄 Love that movie :)
Rocking the receding hair line for 20+ years now
You got to respect him for that. All other actors got hair transplants.
@@olazissou2211 He received a few himself.
@@steveconn No, he didn´t. If he had done it, he wouldn´t have a hairline as receding as he has now.
@@olazissou2211 what's wrong with hair transplant?
@@paramount7616 it's not natural. But do what you want. Hair won't make you happy though.
Watching Jude Law stroke his beard is all the therapy I need
Without specifically meaning too, I think i've seen most of his films. His best role was as Dickie Greenleaf in 'The Talented Mr Ripley', but my favourite film he's been in is 'Existenz'. Of his newer stuff, I really liked 'The Young Pope'.
Ripley on HBO was a great getaway during quarantine. Beautiful scenery.
Judes an overlooked precious jewel. I watch everything he's in!
Gattaca and The Talented Mr. Ripley are truly great films.
Jude was in Cold Mountain. I love that movie...it spans over years and not many movies can carry a story so succinctly through a time period. The cast of that movie was also class. I haven't watched a few of these movies that Jude was in, but I've always though of Mr Law as a solid...professional and slightly underrated actor. I intend to watch some more of his roles for sure.
Its amazing how many of his films are underrated. Gattaca, talented mr ripley and AI are all incredible quality films.
Most interesting, educational and intelligent talk about his movies and how he and his producers/directors pulled them together! Thank you Jude! Well done indeed!
ok, I now just want to hear him do a whole interview just on Contagion
It was a small (yet significant!!) role, but did they overlook "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"? Wow!! great job with the accent on that one!
“Both kind of lying there, everything sticking together, but both very pleased with ourselves that we’d pulled it off.” I’ve never been harder
As a heterosexual male...this man face was sculpted by the gods 🤣
Things hetero men should appreciate more: Handsome men and female pop singers.
@@domingadoflaminga3961 exactly 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@domingadoflaminga3961 , in all honesty, I can't typically tell whether other men are attractive. Obvious outliers like Mr. Law are exceptions.
Let me give you a scenario. I'm at like a beach cabana, and Brad Pitt approaches. Tries to lean in and kiss me. I would definitely resist, like at first. But if he was persistent, I might give in a little bit just to see what it felt like. Would I push him away? How hard? Like, what if he's really aggressive?
@@H-Vox if you resisted brad pitt a little bit he would still.. need to get to you?
His villainous role in Sam Mendes Road To Perdition. What an awesome actor, every film he's in gets elevated!
The best gift for tonight is a new video with Jude Law. Love him
So many other movies he didn't talk about - movies that I really like - or love... like eXistenZ, My blueberry nights, I heart huckabees, Wilde, Dom Hemingway, Enemy at the gates, Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow, The Holiday, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hugo, Spy...I also appreciate parts of Alfie, Breaking and Entering, Side Effects, Sleuth, Anna Karenina and even Repo Men. (Yes I have seen every movie he ever made)
I can also recommend a movie called "Black Sea". Really underrated. He was also the best part of the King Arthur movie as King Vortigern. Completely stole the show.
Such a great actor!!
I feel like eXistenZ gets skipped over for Gattaca. Both are great films but eXstienZ is my favourite of the two and deserves more attention then it gets
Watch "Shopping" if you haven't seen it yet. Brilliant movie in my opinion.
Check out his Vanity Fair video!
@@livelifeincolour I watched that immediately after it came out this year 😁
@@horsepower523 I have seen every movie with Jude! 😊
Finally! The break down of Gattaca that I’ve always wanted. Favorite movie of all time
He was one of most handsome male actors when I was a young girl between 2000 - 2005. Now he looks like my statistics professor...hehehe
What? Still is. But in that stat prof way.
I'd say the sexiest statistics professor I could ever have and die for.
so is your stats prof single?
@@blossoms256
Married. Two kids.
Hehehe
wow, didn't know Jude was so heavily into blurry picture art.
Jude Law has been in so many iconic movies. Great actor.
This man right here...An absolute blessing. We do not deserve him. A pleasure to listen to and watch. Always been a favorite actor of mine. (now finishing the video, at the very end when he has that slow, smile that turns into a grin? Pretty sure my heart stopped for a second)
Enemy at the gates is one of my most favorite movies of all time!! I love that movie. No cap
No Wisdom of the Crocodiles? No Holiday? No Enemy at the Gates? Not even Alfie?
yeah, he's done a few goodies
I don't understand this either, these roles were truly iconic.
He himself doesn't like Alfie unfortunately...
@Scooter McDingleberry Hilarious flic , sad that he buried it .
Crocodiles is too scary/freaky for the masses.
i love all of his movies!! Gattaca and Closer are one of my favs
Thanks for this amazing video of my favorite actor! Juse just gets better with age. Hoping he'll get some nominations this year for The Third Day and The Nest!
