I saw FIREBRAND last night in the cinema and my jaw was on the FLOOR - he was so damn good as HVIII. This man has had an illustrious career, with some of his best work in the latter half but THIS performance ? For me, the BEST of his career. Hands down. He is stunning in firebrand, horrifying, complex, multi layered - just as the real Henry was (Tudor historian, here!) ❤
You say he had wounds that hadn't healed in _years?_ Things like that make me glad _I_ don't live back then. Even the wealthiest were not really very well off.
My favourite of Jude's roles is still his performance as Jerome in Gattaca - but goodness he's inhabited a lot of vastly different characters exceptionally well in his career.
I was a location manager on gattaca and everyone cast ,crew producer s catering etc... was mesmerized when Jude was doing a scene said that guy's going to be something going to be huge 😊😻
Jude got my attention and I became a fan after his role a contract killer in "The Road to Perdition". Of course, you had some heavy weights there too: Tom Hanks, Paul Newman & Daniel Craig.
I mean, he was okay! Just sort of playing a handsome rich playboy, only real challenge I guess was the American accent but, not as if it was very challenging of a role I’d think. I’d actually go more with Matt Damon in that movie, just for the sheer volume of acting required. I actually prefer that movie to the recent show that came out, I like the new show but felt it was a little unnecessary at times, and also of course the character was played completely differently by that dark haired guy, wayyyy more creepy
@@DroolRockworm I have to disagree. Sure, Damon has to do more of the lifting, but Law displays the whole gamut callousness, vulnerability, irritation, anger, delight so effortlessly, sometimes all within the same scene, all so naturally. He radiates off the screen.
One of our greatest living actors. Damon is good, but isn't in Jude's orbit in terms of talent.. After Dickie was killed, it was like all the light and energy went out of the film. He did so much more than play the rich playboy with an accent. Who can forget the chilling scene when Tom tries to get in his bath--the look of absolute recoil on his face, or when he catches Tom trying in his clothes--the visceral disgust. Or when the pregnant girl he slept with drowns--his guilt and grief, but then he kind of shuts it off. One of the best performances ever.
I was confused when he called Catherine "his latest wife" because I thought Catalina de Aragón was his first wife (so the one Henry broke up with the Church to divorce). Went to check and there were two other Catherines later on lol, seems he liked the name more than the women.
This was filmed at Haddon Hall Bakewell Derbyshire. I saw film trailers in the car park ( Hall closed during filming of course) it was very impressive site .This is on my way to Bakewell. Look forward to watching the film. 😊
I thought ‘Wolf Hall’ on PBS was an excellent production, although not as sexy as ‘The Tudors’. I’m excited that PBS is going to be broadcasting ‘The Mirror and the Light’, which is in production now and picks up where ‘Wolf Hall’ left off in continuing the story of Henry VIII, his Court and specifically, Thomas Cromwell.
You will need to go back further than that to the best depiction of King Henry VIII. The best depiction of King Henry VIII is by Keith Mitchell in the early 1970's.
He was king... who had personal physicians constantly trying to treat them. They DID get infected.. had episodes of sepsis and fevers etc (they're basically what killed him). There's documentation of it you can read about here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2789029/
That's the point, they were infected, bvut possibly kept from completely rotting off by the way that medieval doctors applied leeches and maggots. One sucked the blood, the second ate decaying flesh. Still, accounts that I have read are pretty clear that no one offered an honest opinion that the king, in fact, stank to high heaven. Imagine having to be one of his wives, bedding that humongous lump of rotten flesh.
They did, often and recurrent. He seemingly was brought back from the brink several times by draining the wounds but eventually it did kill him, that and other ailments.
Mad director mad actor, the wardrobe department must have hated him as you can't just run those clothes in a machine or dry cleaners. So they'd have to work in the stink too.
Jude Law's next project should be the biography of Phil Collins as a member of Genesis maybe start at the point where Monsieur Garbriel departs and Phil is left to be front man .... with the right director and script, this could make a few bob ...
How did the man stay alive with an infested wound for all that time back in those days?? 😮 Maybe his personal doctor cleaned it every day, does anyone know?
It’s not sad that it was a girl. The lack of a thriving male heir put Elizabeth on the throne and brought about the golden years. Of course, I don’t expect most Americans to understand.
Making most cursed most loved 😅😅what an actor...he was supposed to be prop...title to dialogues to all was around her....yet he manages ro after months still keep theatres on fire🎉
I’m trying to imagine what his rambling dialogue would be like, and what the director’s face would look like when Trump as Henry goes off script and starts complaining about windmills, or about how unfairly he's being treated, or begins making creepy remarks about his own daughters.

People still exist, in 2024, with venous leg wounds of greater than 10 years in every country of the world across all socioeconomic groups.
Oh Jude Law! So eternally handsome
I was just thinking the same! He has aged like fine wine!
Well said
My favourite of Jude's roles is still his performance as Jerome in Gattaca - but goodness he's inhabited a lot of vastly different characters exceptionally well in his career.

I love Period movies and Jude Law is one of the better actors in these types👌🏽💙
Some people look better when they age. Jude is one of them.
It’s so weird to see Jude without the Dumbledore beard again it’s like they’re two different people 😅 Love him, so kind and ridiculously talented!
When did he play Dumbledore?
@@margo3367 In the Fantastic Beasts movies!
Jude got my attention and I became a fan after his role a contract killer in "The Road to Perdition". Of course, you had some heavy weights there too: Tom Hanks, Paul Newman & Daniel Craig.
This clip of Jule Law performing so marvelously has me NEEDING to see this film!
He’s so handsome. I can’t believe that’s him as King Henry! Wow!
Make him win an Oscar please, for once. Such an underrated talent!
Jude Law in Ripley is one of the best movie acting performances of all time.
I mean, he was okay! Just sort of playing a handsome rich playboy, only real challenge I guess was the American accent but, not as if it was very challenging of a role I’d think.

Just played himself.

He was on a Parr with her. Excuse me…
Wives: 3 Katherine's, 2 Annes, and 1 Jane. All popular names at the time. Also Mary and Elizabeth were very popular.
Sounds like he put the privy in Privy Chamber!
Dang. Jude is a good actor
Henry the Viii I am I am ! So he was, and he played the part well . Trump is a stinky version of Henry.
Jude Law despite the beautiful face played great characters with depth. He's British, and most Brit actors are theater-trained, and smart.
This was filmed at Haddon Hall Bakewell Derbyshire. I saw film trailers in the car park ( Hall closed during filming of course) it was very impressive site .This is on my way to Bakewell. Look forward to watching the film. 😊
I'm sure this is a good movie BUT if you want the best depiction of Henry the Eighth then you need to watch the series Tudors!
Nah, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is too sexy in that one. 😄
So without even seeing the Jude Law version you say this? Strange.
I thought ‘Wolf Hall’ on PBS was an excellent production, although not as sexy as ‘The Tudors’. I’m excited that PBS is going to be broadcasting ‘The Mirror and the Light’, which is in production now and picks up where ‘Wolf Hall’ left off in continuing the story of Henry VIII, his Court and specifically, Thomas Cromwell.
The tudors was fun and sexy, but it was so not based on correct history!
You will need to go back further than that to the best depiction of King Henry VIII. The best depiction of King Henry VIII is by Keith Mitchell in the early 1970's.
How in the hell did the open sores he had for ten years not get infected, especially in those days.

Evie and Colbert greatest Duo❤❤❤
Jude is such an amazing actor. He has such range and I’m looking forward to seeing his newest movie.
Wow! What an incredible transformation into King Henry VIII !! Magnificent makeup job there.
Very good interview!!
Yes, I just found out.
❤ #JonStewart #AOC 2024 Prez/VP🙏. ➡️Felons🚫🗳️CANT VOTE shouldnt b allowed t run fr office they themselves cant vote in🗳️
Jude Law as Henry looks like what Tom Green looks like now.
I watched it last night. Jude was great in it.
Good to see Jude Law. Always liked him.))
He's on a very small list of "men that I would". 👍
Beautiful suit.
He would look great with a messy tapered to the front haircut
Jude Law 2 of 3
And the Oscar goes to!
Mad director mad actor, the wardrobe department must have hated him as you can't just run those clothes in a machine or dry cleaners. So they'd have to work in the stink too.

Weird flex but ok.
Jude Law Was Willing To Smell Terrible To Nail His Henry VIII Character In "Firebrand"
No song about that smell though, is there.
Bloodmeal would do it….🤮
Well, if he doesn't look just like James Spader in this clip!!
Holy Glory Alleluia Amen!!!!
Like Colbert would make a movie at all hahaha
Sorry but I i loved him in the Holiday.
How did the man stay alive with an infested wound for all that time back in those days?? 😮 Maybe his personal doctor cleaned it every day, does anyone know?
What's the name for being straight, with the only exception being Jude Law?
Choosy.
Love Judd Law!!😊
The viewing audience can not smell it so why should his cast members
It’s not sad that it was a girl. The lack of a thriving male heir put Elizabeth on the throne and brought about the golden years. Of course, I don’t expect most Americans to understand.
Making most cursed most loved 😅😅what an actor...he was supposed to be prop...title to dialogues to all was around her....yet he manages ro after months still keep theatres on fire🎉
So trump basically could be Henry Vlll physically anyway.
Jude got guts🚩☝️
🤢Pus, blood & fecal matter… 🫣on the pulse points 😬😅
is it too much to ask just number these?
We want ABBA
Trump could just play himself for Henry VIII.
No way; Henry was actually quite smart and very talented in many ways. Just the fat part would work for Trump.
@@Deanrileyfat, smelly, no one wanting to be around him except for the wealth and status he could provide them
I’m trying to imagine what his rambling dialogue would be like, and what the director’s face would look like when Trump as Henry goes off script and starts complaining about windmills, or about how unfairly he's being treated, or begins making creepy remarks about his own daughters.
JanPlowman Seagrave
He’s not near as complex as HViII was
That’s taking method acting a bit too far.
fucking handsom man
Just think henry's queen had to conceive her baby while he had those sores on his legs. Forget the smell, she had to rub up against him.

Why does he remind me of Sting?

He's really not very good as an actor, is he?
Was that sarcasm? One of the greatest actors of our time.
@@myaimistrue100 Not saying a lot, is it?
Great actor. Feel bad the ppl had to smell that awful smell!
It does "sound familiar."
As one of the 8 yep it was quite unpleasant I remember mostly vomit smelling sour
