OlderJude Law is a Meter Man
Jude Law chats on his cell phone and pays the parking meter while strolling through the streets of London on Thursday.
The 35-year-old British actor is reportedly dating rocker Rod Stewart’s daughter Kimberly, 28, after two were recently seen kissing in the VIP area of the 195 Nightclub in Essex.
An onlooker said: “We couldn’t believe it when we saw Kimberly Stewart kissing Jude Law. He’s the first big name we have ever seen in there. So my friends and myself walked over and asked if we could have our photo taken with them. But they said no, turned back to face each other again then carried on kissing.”
The source added: “Two bodyguards then came over to us and snatched the camera out of my friend’s hand because they had seen us taking pictures. They passed the camera to Jude, who then looked through our photos. The bodyguard later gave the camera back to us and, to our disappointment, they had deleted our pictures of Jude and Kimberly.”
Other pictures inside include Jude with director pal Jeremy Gilley and actor Christian Slater promoting the Peace One Day at the Olympia Theatre during the Cannes Film Festival earlier this week.

Yes, Sheryl - it would be really wonderful to see it :-)
sheryl:
Thanks for the question. I didn’t make myself clear. I agree with you that Jude has made many decent movies but not any recently. I liked The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain and even Closer is a really good movie. But I haven’t seen anything much out of him since then.
What is he doing?
Blackworm,
He recently finished filming “Repossession Mambo” with Forest Whitaker, due out next year, and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, filling in for Heath Ledger’s character along with Johnny Depp and Colin Farrel. It also has Tom Waits and Verne Troyer and sounds like it’ll be very interesting. They’ve kept the segments that Heath had finished filming before his death, but Johnny, Colin, and Jude will take on different forms of his character after passing through a mirror on three occasions. I don’t think I’ve done it justice trying to explain it, you would have to go to the IMDb board for the film to get the real gist of it. It was also recently announced that he’ll be doing a film called Rage with Judi Dench soon.
Next summer, he’ll be doing Hamlet on the London stage.
Right now, he has My Blueberry Nights out with Norah Jones, Natalie Portman, David Straitharn, and Rachel Weisz. It’s an artsy film with Asian director Wong Kar Wai, and his movies generally don’t do big box office because they are artsy. I would guess these actors just wanted a chance to work with the director, who has some very loyal followers of his work.
I agree with you about the movies you mentioned…they are among my very favorites of Jude’s. I also really like Immortality (very artsy), Gattaca, and Wilde…all very excellent performances by Jude. I really pretty much like his performances in most of his other films, even if the films themselves aren’t all that exceptional.
Sorry for the longwinded reply! :)
You know, I have seen Gattaca. He was really good in that. That was a while back.
But I haven’t seen him in anything in a long time. I don’t know anything about My Blueberry Nights.
I just wondered what had happened to him. It seemed like he had so much promise back around the time of Cold Mountain. Then POOF! he was gone from movies but all over the tabloids. What a total waste of talent.
Heheh thanks Sandy. You are a friend indeed!
Blackworm,
He has had 11 movies since Cold Mountain, actually. And yeah, there has been a lot of tab stuff on him, which is unfortunate since he really is much more than what his tabloid persona is made out to be. There’s a definite fascination with anything they can dig up or uncover about him, mostly the bad, and then sensationalize to make it juicier.
Blackworm,
And to add to your comment about his talent being wasted, I don’t exactly know how to feel about that…because on the one hand, he choses what interests him, I think, and gives good performances in what he does…but on the other, I know that actors are judged as successful or unsuccessful by most of the ticket-buying audience on whether or not they’ve had big box office. However, the movies Jude has chosen lately either weren’t very good scripts or weren’t subject matter that would appeal to a widespread audience (the one I cite in particular as a “not good” script is All the King’s Men…that had the potential to be a fantastic movie, but had all kinds of problems).
Two actors that I usually note that fall into the same mode as Jude as far as box office versus talent are Johnny Depp and Daniel Day Lewis…
Depp didn’t have a blockbuster until he was 40 (POTC), and most of his 20 or so movies prior to that didn’t make big money…some hardly any at all.
Day Lewis is in his 50s, among his 17 films, has never made big office…none over 100 million…and most haven’t made any money.
All three of these men are terrific actors who have made movies that I have really enjoyed, even the ones that weren’t big BO draws. I tend to like those kind of movies a lot…but that’s just me, I know.
Anyway, thanks for talking! I’m REALLY feeling longwinded tonight…I’m going to try to hush, though.
Sheryl:
I really know nothing about box-office numbers. I wasn’t talking about that at all. I couldnt’ care less about what is big at the box-office. I don’t tend to see many of those big blockbusters at all. I really don’t even know what is big at the box office and what is not. It’s not of interest to me.
Blackworm,
Okay, I was just wondering what you were referring to, then, when you said that he disappeared after Cold Mountain, because he clearly didn’t. I misunderstood. My bad.
And in that case, I REALLY apologize for my huge posts! :)

And now for double posting…I’m just going to go to bed! LOL!
i’m going to bed now with a picture of jude on my mind…better than any sleeping pill. his life is one hell of an adventure it’s like a rollercoaster and i’m going along for the ride. good night and sweet dreams jude.
Please can someone help me i can not open imdb board!!!!HEEELP!!!
I just ehcecked it out. There is a problem they have a not posted. This
happens occaionally. You can’t do anything but wait it out..Sometimes
it’s gone quickly and sometimes it takkes a lot longer. I noticed it was
a little erratic thit morning going from one board to another. i think we
gave it too much action. It got lazy. Nah, this happens. Relax., till it’s
all over..
Thank you Sandy!!!
Blackworm, Gattaca made me fall in love with Jude! Even I didn’t know his name back then. But those green eyes haunted my soul for days…they still do.
There are few thoughts of yours that are similar with mine. Like I always say, a film is a work of art. We shall stop appreciate them by numbers. Some like it, and some don’t.
But for Jude, I will appreciate any numbers he gives me. His cell phone numbers for example…..
rien, Yes, I remember those eyes in Gattaca. They were haunting. I’m not sure exactly what thoughts I had that were similar to yours but I just see films that look interesting to me for the most part. The ones that I hear about that are supposed to be #1 at the box-office usually have no appeal to me. And I don’t like a lot of CGI.
Ah, for a start, you and I like Gattaca (without this film, I would not know Jude). Second, my opinion about blockbuster stuff is quite similar with yours.
About CGI, I don’t have problem as long as they serve the story. And since I like Edward Norton too, I will face CGI, since he plays in The Hulk. And my Gary Oldman played in Harry Potter. So, I have to face CGI a lot.
But mostly, the films that attracted me more are the one without CGI. I just watched Noel and it was free from CGI. Or about a week ago (or more) , I watched Close My Eyes, with Clive Owen, it was also without CGI. And then two days ago, I watched Closer with Clive and Jude. CGI - free.
So, we have three thoughts in common. Stay a little bit longer, who knows we will have more thoughts in common… ;-)
Yes, I don’t think that I always like science fiction but I did like Gattaca. Very moving at the end.
I’m like you, CGI is OK if it serves the story. But I usually prefer movies without any or very little. There are some that I like though. I liked Iron Man. I will probably see Hulk. I can’t miss Edward Norton(fabulous actor. I love him). I’ve seen all the Harry Potter films. But I am ashamed to say that I have never read the books so I think that I don’t really fully enjoy the movies like people that read the books do.
I don’t know Noel or Close My Eyes. I will have to look for them. I do Netflix so I’ll put them in my queue. I like to watch movies that people recommend to me.
I liked Closer. I think I even mentioned in an earlier post that I haven’t seen Jude Law in anything since that movie. All I ever hear about him is tabloid gossip.
Noel is a very touching story with Susan Sarandon, Penelope Cruz, etc. You will be surprise to see Paul Walker there. He can act, if he is allowed!!
Close my eyes, …you have to have an open mind. Because it is about forbidden love between brother and sister. But beautiful and heart-breaking. I am addicted to love (sound like the song of Robert Plant). What can I say?
I can only recommend you to read the HP books. But, don’t expect the films to be the same. They are different medium. I love Ron Weasley. For me, he is the real hero. To change and to win over Hermione is a difficult task. More difficult than to slain a dragon!!
And about tabloid, forget it. It doesn’t represent the Jude Law that we (me and my sisters) adore and know, not even remotely!
Thank for the movie recommendations. I don’t know anything about Jude Law. I just see him in the magazine tabloids sometimes when I’m getting my hair done and I guess I see him on the internet in entertainment gossip sometimes and maybe on TV when showbiz gossip is being reported. I’m not a gossip junkie but it’s hard not to see and hear it these days. It’s basically impossible to know what is true and what is not. I guess there’s probably a little of both.
That’s the trouble with these gossip sites. there is more attention paid
to these salacious stories some of which hae no basis in truth what-
soever and some start off with a grain oif truth and get built up in a
mountain of lies. It’s very hard for the average veiwer to know the truth.
But that’s what these sites count on and they never apologize when they are wrong. It’s frustrating for a performaner. They dont talk about
movies unless they get paid for the advertising but they’ll ruin some
ones life or career for nothing with their lies. You don’t even know that
Jude has appeared on the stage many times and will do HAMLET in
2009 in London, has appared in close to 30 films and won all kinds of
awards and nominations and is foremost a terrific actor but always
grabs you for a second look because at the same time he is an extra-
ordinarily handsome and sexy man sometimes that overshadoes his
accomplishments. His loyal fans tr y to get the message across.
I don’t know what you mean by the “average viewer” . How does anyone know what is true and what is not? The only person that knows is the person being written about. It seems to me it’s all a big game played by both the tabloids(newspapers, magazines, TV, internet sites) and the celebrities themselves. You can’t believe any of them. The publicists are always issuing statements but they are lies just as much as the tabloids.
It’s not the tabloid’s job to report on movies, plays, or awards. They report gossip and they make tons of money doing so. That includes any pictures that they have whether they be good, bad or neutral.
It sounds like you are a big Jude Law fan. I’d be willing to bet that you love it when Jared has nice flattering pictures of Jude with a nice flattering story. Those are the same photographers and the same sources that supply the pictures of Jude in not so flattering positions like being groped by Kimberly Stewart.
If you buy a magazine or a tabloid newspaper or watch a tabloid television show or click on Just Jared or any other gossip site you are supporting the tabloid gossip industry and they report on what their cusomers will pay to read or listen to. They do not care if they ruin lives or careers. And I think they report the truth as much as they report lies. So if careers and lives are ruined these celebrities need to look in the mirror.
THANK YOU Blackworm.
An intelligent response.
The only two who are responsible for this mess is Jude Law and Kimberly Stewart. Not the tabloids. Not Just Jared.
Auntie
WoW ! Blackworm,
What a transition from your #96 post to your #98 post
I think that sandy was only saying what you don’t see
in the tabloids, if that is the only mag you get your info from.
Sorry she said “average viewer” I don’t she mean it as an insult..
hopefuly she will come back and answer your post.
