Hollywood actor Jude Law feels like Hamlet

London, May 30: Hollywood actor Jude Law says that he has been let down so many times in life that he has developed an empathy with his onstage character Hamlet.The `Cold Mountain` star claims he has been let down by a lot of people and feels that his life mirrors that of Shakespeare`s Hamlet, Contactmusic reported.

The 36-year-old actor who has three children, Rafferty, 12, Iris, eight and six-year-old Rudy, with ex-wife Sadie Frost said that he has lost trust in people because of the way he has been treated. Speaking about the tragic character the actor said, "We`ve just been rehearsing the scene when Hamlet meets Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and it`s all about defining who you can and can`t trust." "I`m a lot more cynical now than I was. I used to have optimism and the belief that people would usually do the right thing, and that has been somewhat tainted by experience, which I think mirrors Hamlet`s journey. He`s let down by people," Law added. The actor said that earlier he was reluctant and worried about playing the legendary role but later on found courage to accept the offer. "It`s a part I have always wanted to play. I admire and love the play, and have seen many productions of it. And I needed to think about doing it soon because of my age. I`m not 22 any more," the actor said. Bureau Report
