Jude Law Talks Star Wars, Shakespeare & The Other - Bullseye with Jesse Thorn

Our first guest of 2025 is the one and only Jude Law! Law is 52 and has been acting since he was a teenager. The Talented Mr Ripley, The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Holiday are just a few of the many films you’ve probably seen him in. Jude Law is starting the new year off strong. He's starring in a brand new Star Wars series called Skeleton Crew - in which Law plays a rogueish, force-using space man who works in cahoots with four children who have discovered an ancient spaceship on their home planet. And he's also featured opposite Nicholas Hoult in The Order. It's a crime drama, based on a true story. Law plays Terry Husk. A veteran FBI agent who’s traveled to the Pacific Northwest to take on a new case. He’s following a string of robberies that he believes have ties to a neo-nazi terrorist group. 00:00 - Intro 00:08 - The Other 03:02 - Character Vulnerability 04:22 - Physicality with Characters 06:01 - Character & Costume Design 06:44 - Stage vs Screen 08:58 - Being perceived 10:48 - Turning 50 12:02 - Being a Father 13:44 - Taking on Challenging roles 14:07 - Shakespeare & Hamlet Live 16:09 - Falling into Shakespeare 16:57 - Challenges with Shakespeare 18:37 - Getting Too Intellectual with Process 20:18 - Star Wars Skeleton Crew 22:48 - Working with Kids 24:40 - Accent Work 26:52 - Good vs Bad Accents 27:55 - Phonemes & Accents 30:14 - Hairlines 31:50 - Goodbyes Want to hear more?
