The 52-year-old star admitted he became “obsessive” about watching Russian President Vladimir Putin while preparing to play him in “The Wizard of the Kremlin”. The film, directed by Olivier Assayas, had its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

When English actor Jude Law first joined the National Youth Music Theatre in the UK, he was placed in the wrong dorm room because school officials believed he was a girl due to his name.

Actor Jude Law and his former girlfriend Catherine Harding have welcomed a daughter.
