Jude Law says he can’t trust people

Washington, May 30: Jude Law has confessed that he finds it difficult to trust people and can sympathise with Hamlet—the Shakespeare character he is portraying in a new London theatre production. The British actor has claimed that he`s been let down by a lot of people, and finds it hard to trust people because of the way he has been treated.

Law has three children, Rafferty, 12, Iris, eight and six-year-old Rudy, with ex-wife Sadie Frost. "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,” Contactmusic quoted Jude as saying of Hamlet—the tragic character he is portraying in a new London theatre production. He added, "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." The 36-year-old star has confessed that initially he was sceptical about taking on the legendary role of Hamlet, but found the courage to accept the opportunity. Jude said, "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. Every job is a little daunting. This is a little more daunting than the others. But when you stop and consider the beauty and brilliance of the play, it`s a no-brainer. It`s like, God, I`ve been asked - I`m going to do it." ANI
