Call me crazy, but I actually think Jude Law is looking really good lately. His hair has grown out to a good length (alternate theory: hairplugs), I like the scruff, and his face has filled out a little bit as he’s gotten older. Don’t get me wrong, I totally remember how mind-numbingly beautiful Jude used to be – he was insanely beautiful, literally one of the most beautiful men in the world. But he’s aged. He’s lost some hair. He’s impregnated a few women. He’s cheated on a girlfriend. For where he is in his life right now, I think Jude looks pretty good at 39 years old (he’ll be 40 in December). However, this Star Mag story presupposes the idea that we’ve all been talking about how Jude Law looks like sh-t.
Jude Law was once considered Hollywood’s hottest bachelor, but lately he’s looking more like an unpaid extra. Friends close to Jude have noticed him growing increasingly unhappy and disheveled as he struggles with a midlife crisis.
“He doesn’t know what to do to make himself feel better,” admits an insider, who reveals that the actor was crushed when one of his latest films, 360, bombed. “He’s staying up late, drinking, smoking and eating junk food. It’s all driving him deeper into depression.”
Another problem is his fading sex appeal: “The studios think his movies are flopping because he doesn’t have the pretty-boy appeal he used to. Jude was never concerned with being handsome. But now that he’s starting to age, he’s realizing he was actually very dependent on his looks.”
And, adds the insider, as his looks continue to deteriorate, so does his social life!
“Jude’s greatest vice has always been women, but they are not falling into his lap they way they used to.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Yes, Jude is no longer a pretty boy. So sad. But I doubt it’s bothering him this much – after all, have you seen the way he looks in Anna Karenina? That’s not the appearance of an actor who is obsessed with youth and beauty. As for the other stuff, the “mid-life crisis” part of the story… sure. He’s turning 40 years old in two months. Let him have a mid-life crisis. It’s not the end of the world! And Jude will always have a future in films because he’s always been a talented actor IN SPITE of his beauty. His beauty was never a crutch. As he gets older, he’s going to get more and more work as a character actor, which is probably fine with him.
You know what would make him feel better? Impregnating some random girl.

I had this pic on my wall in high school:

He was GORGEOUS in the late 90s/early-2000′s.
I have to admit that I LOL’d at the image of him eating junkfood and feeling sorry for himself. Even better would be the image of him eating bon-bons and watching soap operas in his pajamas.
Poor Jude…

No, but seriously, women (heck, even men) are afraid to look Jude in the eye for fear of getting pregnant. I’d say Jude’s sexiness is still very much intact.
He’ll probably end up being one of those perpetually sexy men, like Sean Conney. Sigh…

39 and they’re already talking about him being old and ugly?? It’s ridiculous. He looks great, better than any man his age. How awful it must be for these guys having all the glory one day and then be torn down the next. He’s very handsome and crap like this makes me angry. Then none of us have any hope. It’s stupid.
Anyway, he does look sad. His eyes look sad. I hope he takes care of himself. Musn’t be easy seeing Sienna move on and be a mom when fairly recently they were together.

A lot of men look great at 40. He looks terrible. Karma baby. It deeply saddens me when nice people get dealt an undeserving fate. . I like seeing horrible people get their due.

He does seem to look a bit older than 39… Perhaps he’ll start hitting the botox soon. (I could use some of that.)

I love Jude’s voice. Could listen to it till the day i die. He was mesmerizing in Enemy At the Gates, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain.
I refuse to bash Jude..he is an outstanding actor, and he can carry a movie. Jude is scruffy-yummy.

Well if truly the women aren’t hitting on him, he needs to de-scruff a bit. Scruffy when you’re younger is bad-boy sexy. Scruffy when you’re older is Bowery Bum. And damn, I was nowhere near midlife crisis at 40. Please give him to at least 50, folks, then the shit really hits the fan.

Jude is still exponentially more handsome than men his age..or any age! Are these young woman bashing him?
I live in a Canadian City of over 500,000 people (i work approx. 100 feet from a modelling agency)and none of the men can match Jude`s looks or talent.
These pics are so insulting. No one looks good when they are wasted. I hope Jude is the next James Bond, when Daniel Craig grows weary of being Mr. Bond.

I remember the first time I saw him on screen (The Talented Mr Ripley) and he was a shockingly beautiful young man. Seriously. RPatz got nothin’ on Young Jude.
But age suits him. I think Scruffy Older Jude is even sexier than Young Jude.

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through old photos of aging/jacked/faded celebs in their heyday on google images or the like? Makes me teary sometimes.

I know I’m probably in the minority but I think he’s sexier now than he ever was. Not as pretty, to be sure, but smokin’ all the same. And since when does getting heavier, drinking and smoking equal a mid-life crisis? He’s an English actor. That’s what they do!

Totally agree. Age agrees with him. He moved on up from “pretty boy” to “just my type” in the man book. Watch your back, Russell Crowe. Daniel Craig still holding strong at number one.

GOD yes. I never found him attractive when he was younger, actually. It’s only in the past few years since he’s matured that I’ve discovered that I am WILDLY attracted to him. I actually find a little extra weight and ANY amount of facial hair on him to be beyond hot & sexy. If anything, I think it makes him more grounded and comfortable in his own skin. I think he’s adorable and gorgeous no matter what. Plus, he does so many good things for humanitarian causes and charities that I’ve fallen absolutely in love with him. ♥

Definitely sexy, especially his voice. But 39? He does look older (I’m 38 and thought he was several years older than I am). I would have pegged him for mid 40s at least. He’s lost the pretty, but kept the sexy. I also kind of dig the scruffy style.

He is so hot and I agree he gets better with ages. Yes, he looks a bit sad/tired, perhaps because he isn’t resting enough, but he is still young! Stop saying if you are 40 you are old and need to act like a boring old man.
And yes, I totally agree with he is a talented actor IN SPITE of his beauty and as he gets older, he’s going to get more and more work as a character actor, which is probably fine with him.
I just hope he could find a good woman that makes him happy better than the very young wannabe models/PR girl/ actresses are always around famous actors.
By the way i think the extra pounds, scruffy image and the beard is preparation for his next role in a movie’Dom Hemingway’.

This SO much. I too find him MUCH hotter now than ever, but I also wish he was happier. More than anything, I truly want him to find a nice, kind woman who’s not some starlet slut and who’ll make him happy finally. I think he deserves it–he hasn’t had the best of luck finding someone decent. I just want him to be happy. ♥

I would still fall into his lap. All day long. Every freekin day. Sure he has aged but that is life! I am glad he IS aging and not trying to hang onto youth with surgery or whatever. I think he looks great lately. Of course I remember when looking at pictures of him when he was young was painful because he was SO breathtakingly beautiful. I mean he is still , but there are some pics of him that to this day I still cannot even handle…

ahah I am with you about not being able to handle some of his superhot pics from back in the day….but like you said, aging is a natural, inevitable process. I think it was Cindy Crawford who said it, “The idea of eternal youth is the pitfall of our society.” So very true.

I always got MAJOR douche vibes from J Law. I don’t even understand why people think he is a good actor, he is nowhere near the acting calibre of a Philip Seymour Hoffman, a William C. Macy, Sam Rockwell, Mark Ruffalo, RDJ, Tom Hardy, Christopher Walken, John Goodman, even younger actors like Gosling, Hiddles or Fassy could act circles around him. Very full of himself in interviews too. Sexy factor less than zero to me. I just don’t get it.

He may be not a pretty boy anymore, but to me now he’s an handsome man.
It’s just rude to say those things just because he’s aged.. well, he’s not a vampire so of course he was gonna become older and grow out that pretty-boy thing.
Jude have confidence in yourself! You’re still and always hot and talented! I don’t mind if he eats junk food or doesn’t have a social life anymore (means no Sienna-and the likes anymore!)!

He did ugly up for the part, but wasn’t keen on it in real life. When he appeared on The Graham Norton Show with Robert Downey they made fun of him for not taking off his beanie, and he winced and said he had the worst haircut of all time for a role.
So a little bit vain. But then your physique is your work tool when you’re an actor. And losing beauty, even if you took it for granted before, sucks for everyone.

I don’t think he looks awful, but I don’t think he’s aged well. I think he looks about 10 years older than he is. I don’t think it matters much as he will still find roles and the makeup artists/editors usually do a great job in making actors look better in movies (as long as the role allows it.)

He looks awful. All of these guys seem to go to waste at around 40, 45. It is the Brad Pitt effect as contagion: every handsome Hollywood actor starts looking like a hobo, the face puffs up, the looks lose their sharpness and clarity.
This is all from inner turmoil.
I have to say, that in my world, the men in their 40s and even 50s are extremely handsome and dashing. They lose a certain boyishness and look more refined

I agree with Lauren—no one looks good when they’re out of it. The piece of shit assholes that make a living bottom-feeding off of taking pics of celebrities when they’re having an off moment and then making buttloads of money off of it should be strung up. Normal people who aren’t celebrities do the same thing when they’re out to let off some steam at a club or something–the only difference is they don’t have to do it with a million people watching, nor do a million people salivate over every mistake that a normal person makes. For anyone who wants to whine that, “Well, if you’re famous, that’s what you have to put up with so deal with it”–BITE ME. Just because someone’s in the public eye SHOULDN’T mean that they don’t have the same rights to privacy as everyone else. It’s sad that the public feels entitled to everY last detail of a celebrity’s life, and even worse that the paparazzi assholes feel that it’s their job to provide it.
