Born: December 29, 1972, London, England
Handsome English actor Jude Law is a seasoned actor who began his dramatic career at the age of twelve. Although earlier performances in Gattaca, with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, and I Love You, I Love You Not might have gone by unnoticed, audiences definitely took note of Laws Best Supporting Actor-nominated portrayal of bluebood Dickie Greenleaf in 1999s The Talented Mr. Ripley. He also appeared as a Russian sharpshooter in the World War II drama Enemy at the Gates and as an amorous robot gigolo in the Stanley Kubrick-Steven Speilberg sci-fi fantasy A.I. His work in Cold Mountain met with terrific critical acclaim. Although hes been lauded for the passion he brings to his work and his unconventional choices of roles, his classical good looks havent escaped attention; hes been named to Peoples 50 Most Beautiful List. Law is, however, more than a pretty face; what do the stars say about his continued success?
With his Sun in the practical Earth Sign of Capricorn, Jude Law is an ambitious actor, driven by his overwhelming need for success. Like many Capricorns, Law has been focused on his goal of being an actor since he was a child, and his patience and determination have certainly paid off. Laws prudent Earthly influence isnt the only thing that guides him, though; a Sagittarius presence is quite strong in his birthchart, with his Mercury, Venus and Neptune all lying in the Archers domain. The Fire influence and restless Mutable quality compel Law to try new things and accept new acting challenges; after all, not many actors would seek offbeat roles such as the object of Matt Damons obsession in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a bisexual hustler in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil or an android escort in A.I. These influences make the sexy Englishman a quick-witted communicator and an adventurous lover with a philosophic side.
Because his Mars lies in the Fixed Sign of Scorpio, Law makes calculated and purposeful career moves; dont expect him to star in the latest teen comedy just because thats the trend of the moment. With his Jupiter in the ambitious Cardinal Sign of Capricorn, Law pushes himself to be the best actor possible, and to make sure that his career isnt just a flash in the pan. Get used to seeing this comely actors face; it looks like he will be around for a while!
Since Laws Sun Squares Pluto, Law is quite willful, though he appears coolly self-restrained on the outside (he tends to have a very British stiff upper lip and isnt prone to sharing his most intimate thoughts with the press). Yet, he isnt aloof; because his Mercury Conjuncts Venus, hes quite affable and refined, and always puts his natural charm forward (those hoping hell make catty remarks about former costars like Gwyneth Paltrow or Cate Blanchett will be disappointed!)
With his Venus Conjuncting Neptune, Law is very romantic, spiritual and idealistic in love. He tends to idealize his partner, sometimes to a degree that obscures reality (he probably regretted getting a tattoo on his left arm that said ""Sexy Sadie"" when he and wife Sadie Frost divorced!).
