Jude Law
Hidden behind the dark circled eyes and bad teeth in the new 1930's Irish mob drama "Road to Perdition" is the genetically gifted Englishman who made People magazine's sexiest list two years in a row.
Hollywood insiders say he's got one of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the big screen, but Jude Law isn't interested in cashing in on his leading man looks. He says, "Not all roles are about good looking leading men. So to play a guy who makes a transformation is more of an interesting leap."
He's done it repeatedly with roles such as an alcoholic cripple in the 1997 sci-fi thriller "Gattaca," as a hotheaded hustler in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," with his Oscar-nominated portrayal of arrogant playboy Dickie Greenleaf in "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and now as a seedy press photographer moonlighting as a hit man in "Road to Perdition."
When Law is not on location, he leads a quiet family life in London with actress wife Sadie Frost and their three children.
