Jude Law’s career has been exceptional and he’s delivered some unforgettable performances. The actor has a wide range and has starred in psychological thrillers, as well as movies about the wizarding world. So we already know that Law loves to reinvent himself continuously.
But even with such an impressive repertoire, the role that he holds dear to his heart might surprise people. Law’s answer to a simple question reveals just how much that character and movie meant to him, and it’s something that you could never have guessed.
Jude Law Would Love To Play Dickie Greenleaf FromThe Talented Mr. RipleyAgain
In an interview withCollider, Jude Law was asked about the role that he would want to revisit, and without a second thought, he spoke about Dickie Greenleaf. After decades, the actor wants to go back to a character that belonged to a movie whose success can’t exactly be recreated.
I think it would definitely be Dickie Greenleaf. It was 25 years ago, and it was such a beautiful experience, that film, and playing him was indulgent, and yet I was very young.
I hadn’t really made many films and didn’t realize quite how wonderful an opportunity it was. I was just sort of there doing it and enjoying it and giving it my best. But I would love to go back and maybe spend a day on that yacht.
The Talented Mr. Ripleywas a thriller directed by Anthony Minghella, whom Law acknowledged to be a great director. His character, Dickie, was a self-absorbed womanizer who led a lavish lifestyle but soon spiraled into tragedy after he met Tom Ripley, essayed by Matt Damon.
The Talented Mr. Ripley:Jude Law’s Legacy and Risk
The Talented Mr.Ripleywas a critical and commercial success forJude Law, raking in$138 million globally, and many reviewers raved about how amazing the movie was. So, revisiting this world might come with many risks because it’s hard to create the same magic on screen again.
Moreover, reviving the character might risk diminishing the impact of his arc. Plus, 25 years have passed, and audiences have changed. Could the elegance and intensity ofRipley’sworld translate in today’s cinematic landscape? The answer cannot be a resounding and confident yes.
However, Hollywood now has a penchant for reboots and revisiting classics, so it isn’t entirely impossible. And even though Law wants to relive the experience for how amazing it was, recapturing the charm of his younger self would be a monumental task, but not unthinkable for an actor of his caliber.
