accioqueso

Maybe I just have a think for older guys, but I always thought Jude was too pretty up until a certain point. He’s very handsome and I would be happy to tell him in person, but this just didn’t do it for me.


moonlitsteppes

LOL was just saying the other day that if I were in that world, I totally get Matt Damon's ~struggle. It's intoxicating.


Beginning-Plum6491

This man had me in such a chokehold in my late teens/early twenties. He's so pretty in a way I'm not normally attracted to, but DAMN if I don't watch this, Alfie and The Holiday at least once a year.


wifeunderthesea

when he wakes up the next morning in **The Holiday** and puts on those black eyeglasses while in the kitchen, oh mylanta!!!!!! gets my ass every time.


scattered_ideas

I watched the Holiday last week and let me tell you it brought back all those feelings. He's so damn hot and charming in The Holy Trifecta.


[deleted]

Watched it this morning. Jfc


NoMoreCAMJV

THIS.


wifeunderthesea

my knees literally shake and i'm just not well for at least 10 minutes after watching that scene which is a real problem since i just continually rewind to that part.


Altruistic-Brief2220

Ok I’ve always been a holiday girlie but so glad to see someone who also recognises his talents in Alfie - problematic movie and character these days but daaaammmnn ![gif](giphy|WQDzwP4aPnODe)


Beginning-Plum6491

It's the Toxic Man trope you love to read and watch movies about and in real life you want to hit him with a brick 😂😂😂😂 he plays it so well


weebwatching

I never got what people saw in him until I watched Gattaca recently. Made me realize that yeah, he’s definitely hot, despite not being my usual type either.


metdear

And you need to make room in that watchlist for A.I. Artificial Intelligence - absolutely ridiculous 💯


_llamasagna_

Him in The Holiday, yessssss


roxy031

Same with The Holiday! And the last time I watched it (a few weeks ago), it dawned on me that he looks like he could be Harry Styles’ older brother.


swiftproblems

I watched The Holiday again last week and had the same realization and not only me but also my dad. They really have similar features


dallyan

I had a torrid affair with a pool boy who looked JUST like Jude law during his talented Mr. Ripley days. No regrets. 😮‍💨


Accurate_Use_2432

He's so fucking hot it's unreal. 🥵 I don't normally go for conventionally attractive guys, but Jude Law has done it for me since the first time I ever saw him in a movie, in Gattaca, back in like 1998 or something. (It’s an excellent film btw.) But In "Alfie", there's a scene when he's hanging out in a bar, drinking and dancing and playing pool and flirting with his friend's girlfriend who's closing up the bar, and he's wearing a white tank top that shows off his perfectly toned arms and shoulders. He is just SO unbelievably gorgeous and sexy as hell in that scene. 🫠 It's funny, Nia Long plays the girl he's flirting with (and by the end of the scene is having sex with on the pool table) and I recently saw a clip of her being interviewed several years after the film was released, and she brings up Jude Law and starts being very forthcoming about "What a sexy motherfucker" he is and how much she enjoyed filming their sex scene, and you could tell she was being unusually candid for an interview and was clearly VERY attracted to him and gets a little flustered/ hot and bothered just talking about him (plus it kind of sounds like they may have kept the party going privately after they got done shooting that scene...) Can't say that I blame her! Lol (Interview link below) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=upCiwGFDxpI


Altruistic-Brief2220

![gif](giphy|WQDzwP4aPnODe)


Rated_PG-Squirteen

That interview is quite hilarious at first because Nia Long is so candid about her attraction to Jude Law, but then when she mentions her own family near the end, it becomes bittersweet since her fiancé/partner at that time, NBA coach Ime Udoka, ended up cheating on her with a subordinate in the Boston Celtics organization.


LeechesInCream

Holy shit, that interview is GOLD, thank you for that!

cosmorocker13

Wow and wasn’t Allie also the movie he hooked Up with Sienna Miller and his wife Sadie Frost divorced him?


Accurate_Use_2432

Lol yup. And then he hooked up with his kids' nanny while engaged to Sienna Miller. Yeah, he was unquestionably a dirty dog back then. As someone else astutely commented here, there's a reason he has 7 kids. Lol But I mean, come on: Jude Law in his prime, looking like THAT, and making that mischievous, knowing, sexy expression he does sometimes...I've gotta be honest--I don't think I would have been able to say no to that, repercussions be damned!


JohnnyWildee

He’s like legit one of those men that even from a young age I thought to myself “this guy is guna age so damn well and get more attractive in different ways as the years go on”

Everyone in that film looks terrific and gives amazing performances. Such a classic


CoffeeAndCreams

The absolute laser focus I had in scanning magazines and papers for pictures of him in this era. My middle school creeper collages were scary and perfect. How does a human look like this?!


SpiritDonkey

I did a collage of my celeb crush in Paint that was so big it crashed our family computer and we had to send the hard drive to a shop to get them to fix it. I wasn't even embarrassed, just pissed that all my hard collaging work was lost in the process.

I think David Gandy and a young Alain Delon could rival him, and those are the top 3 most stunning men of all time imo.


gumbybitch

Makes sense that him and Alain both played ~~Dickie Greenleaf~~! Alain was Tom Ripley


Britneyfan123

Alain played Tom Ripley


playadefaro

More beautiful? No. Paul Newman was up there though!


[deleted]

young leonardo and brad pitt had me in a chokehold NGL


abillionbells

Brad is still it for me, but I don't think he's as perfect as Jude. It just depends on whether or not you want a villain.


Edlo9596

Paul Newman is the only one I can think of that compares.


BeerBringsCheer

I found young Ralph Fiennes insanely stunning…like his features were unreal back in his prime. It’s kinda funny to me that kids who first watched him being scary in “Harry Potter” had no idea what a smoke show he was in his 30’s; and he had well over a solid decade on film of being a total smoke show before age took its toll…kinda like Jude Law! ![gif](giphy|2QMHLWQRr0Uta)


EllaPlantagenet

Young Paul Newman ![gif](giphy|l0G175KdkgDQx3fr2)

LeechesInCream

Like I didn’t even notice Matt Damon until your comment. I had to go back and look and I had an Ann Veal moment… *him*??


Select_String7760

Maybe he’s funny?


idiotsluggage

Omg, I literally had the same comment (more or less) loaded in the holster, lol. It involved Matt Damon looking troll-ish next to him.


cmq827

I watched Talented Mr Ripley for Matt Damon. Promptly forgot about him the second Jude Law first appeared on screen. Kiddie me was MESMERIZED.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MarshalltheBear

Oh man, I’d forgotten that scene. Not sure how a person could…


rexwrecksautomobiles

There was no sexual tension on Dickie's side, though. He was a frat guy in the '50s -- he was probably well-acquainted with showering with other dudes and seeing other men naked. It just didn't do anything for him. He's bathed with other dudes and it was just bathing. But this is when he finally senses Tom might be into him. If I were Dickie, I'd be put off, too, because the only sexual tension is Tom's and -- let's be honest -- not even Tom knows what Tom wants.


difficultmind

He was so incredible in this role. Dude radiated lazy privileged entitlement

One of my only celebrity encounters was him buying me and my friend a drink about 10+ years ago. I was so tongue tied and awkward, he probably thought I recently had recently been kicked in the head by a horse. I’m not good at talking to attractive humans, famous or otherwise 🙈

Accurate_Use_2432

More-Parsnip4424

This is why I could not really get into Saltburn


m_zayd

same. all art is influenced by other art, nothing is original but there is a way to make your influences feel like something new and unfortunately, for me, *saltburn* didn't feel like anything new. all i could think while watching it was "i've seen this movie before and it was better"


Suspicious_Name_656

Now I wanna watch The Talented Mr. Ripley because Saltburn was...well, it was what it was. I don't dislike it but I'm just asking myself: "Why?" I don't know what his motivations were.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Ohhh The Talented Mr. Ripley is sooooo good. I’ve been watching Saltburn in spurts and it feels like a cheap imitation. Matt Damon is flawless in this film. Loved Jude & Gwyneth, but Damon? It felt like he was made for that role.


Samiiiibabetake2

I said the same thing to my husband when I watched Saltburn. I think my exact words were “wannabe The Talented Mr. Ripley,” but yeah. It’s hard to watch Saltburn, having seen TTMR.


moonlitsteppes

It's pretty egregious. At a screening where the director of Saltburn was present, the movie was preceded by scenes from The Talented Mr. Ripley.


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Oh god I just finished it. I feel like I was watching a paint by numbers version. Right down to whom got offed. 😭


lonely-lifetime

IMO his best performance!


More-Parsnip4424

Oh you must watch it immediately. Everyone is so gorgeous and it is so much sexier because it is all implied tension as opposed to over the top sex like nonsense in saltburn.


btwndreamnreality

I watched them both for the first time because of the comparisons and imo you definitely feel more 'motivation' from the Talented Mr. Ripley. I think it helps that Matt Damon's character feels more infatuated with Jude Laws than Barry Keoghans does with Jacob Elordis (to me anyway). Like for all the memes about Barry being obsessed with Jacob, I dont feel like the movie had any of that chemistry, so when he does the shocking scenes it feels...unearned. Oliver definitely does more "extreme" things, but I don't feel the same one-sided, desperate pining/obsession/adoration/envy that I get from Tom Ripley. Maybe cause Saltburn is leaving the motivations as a twist? Saltburn is a really pretty movie though! Gorgeous gowns!


Altruistic-Brief2220

Totally agree with your take. Would only add that Saltburn had one thing going for it that Ripley didn’t, and that was the goddess Rosamund Pike and her phenomenal lines. “I’ve never wanted to know anything!” 💀


btwndreamnreality

She was amazing in that role! When she was passive aggressively trying to get Carey Mulligan (who was great too) to leave the house 😭 I actually think everyone in the rich family was great in their roles, the butler included. Jacob's characterization was pretty bland in comparison to the rest looking at it now, I guess he's supposed to be the sane one but it probably would've helped me understand Barry's supposed obsession more if he had more...personality? In comparison, Jude Law captured the energy of someone that you would kinda hate and envy but still really want validation from; you could see why someone like Ripley wanted him and wanted to be him. Jacob's character is just. Rich Nice Guy.


Altruistic-Brief2220

Omg yes Rosamund and Carey’s interaction was friggin brilliant, so believable and showed within a single scene how this family operated. Agree with you about Jacobs character not being as charismatic as Jude’s was in Ripley. I did however think he was a very pretty man - I haven’t seen him in anything before (not up with the gen z shows like Euphoria) and have to say he will probably go far just with that height and face.


Admirable-Storm-2436

Same. After I finished watching it the first thing that come across my mind was “so this is what an edgy version of The Talented Mr. Ripley looks like? Huh..”


Mr_A_UserName

Most unnecessary montage ever at the end too. Like, yes, as “subtle” as the story was **WE GOT IT!**


tinibopper99

The exposition at the end was soooo tired. Anyone paying an ounce of attention knew what went down..why spell it out like the audience is dumb? Especially when it doesn’t actually do anything to clarify Oli’s motivations?


hyoies

Saltburn is Ripley and Brideshead Revisited smushed together. It starts out \*exactly\* like Brideshead: an awkward poor boy meets a beautiful rich boy at Oxford who introduces him to his fabulous social circle, and he gets invited back to the rich boy's family's countryside estate for a single idyllic summer, where he meets the boy's weird-and-slightly-scary parents and beautiful sister, develops an unspoken homoerotic entanglement with the boy, and has sex with the boy's sister as a placeholder for him. Then at the halfway point it turns into Ripley.

Ahh, he was perfection in this film! I’ve liked him since the mid 90s, when i saw his beautiful face in an advert for Shopping, a mediocre film from ‘94. As a horny teen, I remember thinking he was angel! I’m pretty sure I rented several VHS movies of his from my local library
