Jude Law spoke about filming in "Young Dad", the lack of talent and women

In early September, the world saw the first series of the historical series about the young pontiff "Young Dad". The main role in it was played by 43-year-old British actor Jude Law, who in an interview told his fans a lot of interesting things about work in this film and not only.

Pope Pius III - a difficult character

As the director of the "Young Pope" Paolo Sorrentino told, the series is largely fictional. No, of course, he shows the history of those times, but the main character, Pope Pius III, is completely invented. Jude told a little about how he was preparing for this role:

"It was not easy to play Pope III. And then I ran into a lot of obstacles. First, it's a fictional character. There are no historical books about him, nor any other sources of information. Secondly, he is a pope, and for them, as you know, there are no schools. Therefore, to learn how the pope should behave was not from where, and no one else. Instinctively, I began to understand that I had to read the Bible. I did it, but it was not that, and there was no sense in it. I had to somehow improvise myself. "

In the film "Young Dad" Lowe appears on the screen in a snow-white cassock. The interviewer, of course, was interested in the question of how many times a day she had to change, and that's what the actor replied:

"Sutana is an amazing outfit. It is comfortable and absolutely not hot, although in Rome during the shooting there was a heat of +40. But there was one drawback - she quickly got dirty and crumpled. It would seem that there is nothing special about this, but Sorrentino insisted that she always be in perfect condition. Therefore, I had to treat her very carefully, because she was alone for one day of shooting. Even sitting on a stool, I always turned it. Then we called him "papa's stool".

The only talent in Judah is the acting

Strangely enough, it sounds, but even a man like Lowe has complexes. And he also spoke about them a little:

"Perhaps, now you can honestly say that nature has given me, perhaps, the only talent - acting. Although I'm a strong alarmist, even in this field. In 2008, director Michael Grandaj offered me the role of Hamlet. Then I was terribly embarrassed and the first thought that swept through my head was that the aged Hamlet would come out of me and people would laugh at me. However, after a little thought, I realized that I had to be a fool to refuse the offer and agreed. When the rehearsals began, for me it was a huge stress. The only thing that helped to come to my senses was the work on the production. I went into it with my head, and we did it. When the play was published and collected a lot of positive feedback, I realized that it is for such complex roles that I live and work. It helps me overcome my fear and complexes.

However, I do not always have everything so successfully. I do not know whether you know or not, but in 2004 I was offered the role of superman. I immediately realized that I will not play superheroes from comics. However, the director strongly insisted and sent me to the hotel an employee with a suit, so I tried it on. When I was delivered the package, I was very nervous and went to the bathroom to dress. And so, I'm standing in front of a mirror in tights and red shorts and I understand that I'm superman. After that, I came to mind heroic music. And I began to understand that a little more, and I agree. However, something in me worked and I was skewed from the fact that the whole world will see me in such a stupid suit. After that, I finally gave up this role.

Well, if you go back to talent, then, for example, I do not know how to play any musical instrument, although there are a lot of self-taught actors. It irritates me, but somehow it does not work out, which means that you only need to take lessons. At this time there. And I understand that I can learn only when I'm offered the role of a musician, as it was in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Playing in the film, I learned the sax a little. "

A little about beauty and women

What is there to hide, but for Jude Law is firmly entrenched the title of a female heartthrob. About this and weak sex, the actor also told the interviewer:

"I was told very often that I was very pretty. And it was such an appearance that could prevent me from building a brilliant career in the field of cinema. In my youth, I specifically chose the role of freaks, so that everyone could see that I can play. By the way, what is there to hide, but now I can already admit that at 20 I was really beautiful. "

Now Lowe meets with Ph.D. psychologist Phillip Koan, and their romance lasts more than a year. In an interview, Jude told a little about women:

"I used to try to build relationships based on the theory that women like bad guys. Now I understand that this was a mistake. In any relationship you need to invest, and the maximum. Only then will be a positive result. With Phillip I threw off the mask of the bad guy, and we are all fine. "

Is there a midlife crisis?

Now Low 43 and many people in this period are experiencing a midlife crisis. The actor slightly opened the veil over this:

"Is there a crisis of middle age in fact? I think that much depends on the person. As with age, for example, I became more calm, began to understand what it means to hunger for new roles and new emotions. I know exactly what I want, but for me it is very important. For example, I dream of playing with Michael Haneke or Jacques Odiard. For Michael's sake, I'm even ready to learn the language of the Congo. And I want to become a director myself. That's how you shout: "Give me a hundred horses and a thousand roses on the platform," and they all run to fulfill a request at once. Well, is not it art? "
