David Jude Law (born December 29, 1972) is a
United Kingdom|British acting|actor.  He was born
in Lewisham, in South London, England. His
professional name is Jude Law.

A two-time Academy award|Oscar nominee, his start
in acting wasn't easy. After minor roles in
British television, Law had his breakthrough with
Shopping(movie)|Shopping which also featured his
future wife Sadie Frost. For a time Frost and Law
were central to the so called "Primrose Hill set"
of young British actors that also included Ewan
McGregor.

In 2003, he and wife, actress Sadie Frost, by whom
he has three children, Rafferty (b. 1996), Iris
(b. 2000) and Rudy (b. 2002), divorced. He became
engaged to Sienna Miller, his co-star in the
remake of Alfie (2004 movie)|Alfie.

On November 17, 2004, Jude Law was named People
(magazine)|People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive".
The 2004 remake of Alfie was a box-office flop,
only making back about half of its estimated $60
million budget, and voted one of the worst remakes
of all time by a British film magazine.  Some film
critics contended that though Law had been
effective in supporting roles, his acting range
was too limited to carry a film on his own. Other
films of his in 2004, such as Sky Captain and the
World of Tomorrow and I Heart Huckabees also
flopped.

On July 18, 2005 Jude Law issued a public apology
to his fiancée for having an affair with his
children's nanny, Daisy Wright, in New Orleans. 
Law was quoted as saying "I want to publicly
apologise to Sienna and our respective families
for the pain that I have caused. There is no
defence for my actions which I sincerely regret
and I ask that you respect our privacy at this
very difficult
time".http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,16963,

In 2005, Law and his ex-wife Sadie Frost reached a
divorce settlement after nearly two years of

million London house in Primrose Hill, and receive
payments from Law totalling $2 million.
