Jude Law Reflects on Alfie Film Choice

In a recent interview with GQ, Jude Law reflected on his decision to star in the 2004 film 'Alfie,' which he now considers a 'bad move' following his Oscar nomination for 'Cold Mountain.' Law expressed disappointment with the film's execution, calling it 'light' and 'too cheesy,' and regretted that it leaned into his typecast as a heartthrob. The film, a remake of the 1966 classic, was a commercial failure, earning only $35 million against a $60 million budget, and it negatively impacted his confidence as an actor. Law acknowledged that the initial intrigue surrounding his career diminished after several misfires, prompting him to seek ways to regain attention. Despite this setback, he has since enjoyed a resurgence in his career, recently receiving acclaim for his role in 'The Order,' which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
