The very cute, but equally very grumpy actor man Jude Law reckons he is no longer that good looking, and thinks it’s time to hand the heartthrob gauntlet over to Robert Pattinson. But don’t worry – he is happy about this and thinks that being amazingly fit has done nothing but ‘restrict’ him in his career.
Speaking at Cannes Film Festival, he told the Daily Mail: "I can't play the dashing young blade in films anymore; those parts don't come to me."
Jude then went on to call all us fools who think he is a sexy beast a ‘blemish’ and blithered on about how all he ever wanted to be was a ‘good actor’:
"My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no-one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society. When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centres on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.”
Well, Jude and his receeding hairline can breathe a sigh of relief that other, better looking younger men have arrived on the scene, ready to snap up all the parts he is too old for:
"If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction."
Yes, we can imagine what a hindrance being incredibly good looking is, must have been awful filming this modelling campaign:
