OlderJude Law’s Film Work Honored
Jude Law received one of France’s top honors for his contribution to film on Thursday morning at the French Embassy in London, England.
French ambassador Gerard Errera awarded Jude, 34, with the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres medal and described Jude as “simply one of the most talented actors today”.
After receiving the medal, Jude thanked the ambassador for his “wonderful words” but was too stunned to say much: “I am speechless. My mum and dad have lived in France for 15 years so really it is a country I share as my home.”
Said Jude’s father, Peter Law, after the ceremony: [We are] very, very proud. What is significant is that the French have recognized Jude in so many different facets. They seem to have a whole view of him as a man and that is what is so touching.”
Jude was recently honored with the Cesar film award for his impressive body of film work.

Congrats, Jude¡ I’m really happy to see that his work is being recognized by such a double-honor: cesar and medal of arts & lettres, I think that he’s really surprised ’cause there is such atonishment expression on his face, like saying: all this is for me? Do I deserve it? YES, YOU DESERVE IT. WHO NEEDS AN OSCAR? YOU’VE ALREADY WON IT, IN ALL OUR HARTS¡
yeah i saw him with the shaved bald head on Charlie Rose too. He was so adorable then and still is now. :-) And he is so talented.
Yes, he won the oscar already in my heart too!
Congrats Jude!! You are a great actor and a great person..You deserved this medal and recognition that you received from France with your hard work. You deserve the best of everything.
I am so happy and proud of you. I love you so much.
Don’t worry about your hair receeding. It can be taken care of easily. This dark hair of yours also looks great.
Whoever said his looks are fading fast is wrong. I saw him years ago when he was in LA filming AI and he looks good then but was more of a pretty boy. I saw him again years after and he has now matured and even looks better than before. Now he is a man and much better looking.
someone above wrote that he is “breathtakingly gorgeous”. words can’t really describe jude law’s physical beauty. his inner beauty shines through and that’s what we see. the smile that can light up the heavens…the sweetness and boyishness. this man is a very unique creature. apparently the french know it and hopefully the rest of the world will catch on. he’s been acting professionally since he’s around 16…..he knew he had it in him. susan sarandon said “considering the way jude looks…. he doesn’t really have to be as talented and as good as he is.” but he is ms. sarandon….he is.
one other thing…if i’ve said it a zillion times….i’ll say it again…jated merci beaucoup for always giving us the LAW of the land….jude
Hey Ria. YOu saw Jude in LA ?! Could you tell me about it ? cool
I totally agree that Jude gets better with age btw. :-)
I saw Jude with Sadie and his kids(Finlay, Raff and baby Iris)when he was in LA filming AI years ago. They were at the Santa Monica mall and were just walking around. He seemed a very good father, very attentive to the kids and playing with them and they were having such a good time. Sadie was pretty but a little bit standoffish. He was not that known then so nobody was giving them much notice - just a little family on an outing.
I saw him again in LA a year ago, maybe he was here on business? Near the Sunset area, my friend and I just came from window shopping and he was just standing maybe waiting for a taxi. He is now heavier(he was too skinny before IMO)and his face is fuller but like I said better looking. He seemed to have matured both in looks and demeanor.
Ria, Thanks for posting about your Jude encounters (twice wow!!). Your impression of him and family is exactly what I see from the photos. He seems more of a mother and friend to his kids than Sadie is (she may be a perfectly good parent, just not as affectionate I guess).
I have to ask this: How tall do you think he is? I’ve heard short, tall and everything in between. Nobody seems to know how tall he is. I am guessing 5′10″.
I am guessing close to 5′10″ although he appears shorter. I would guess because he has a long torso and his legs are not long. If you have long legs you appear much taller.
