Jude Law Portrays Henry VIII with Stinky Method

Jude Law employed a 'stinky method,' using a perfume with blood and feces scents, to stay in character as King Henry VIII for the film 'Firebrand,' creating an immersive environment as directed by Karim Aïnouz. The set was kept authentic with cold rooms and animals present. Law's dedication to authenticity extended to wearing the foul-smelling perfume regularly. In another project, Law filmed dramatic scenes in NYC for the Netflix series 'Black Rabbit,' directed by Laura Linney, focusing on the relationship between nightclub owner Jake Friedken and his brother. The series promises a tense sibling drama with escalating dangers. Director Karim Aïnouz ventured into a historical drama with 'Firebrand,' portraying the intimate disintegration of King Henry VIII and Katherine Parr's relationship, highlighting the character-driven narrative over historical accuracy.
