Jude Law has spent almost four decades steadily building his résumé with an impressive slew of award-winning roles.
But there’s a role away from the camera he’s held since 1996 that he says is his most important one: being a father.
“Being a daddy is what counts,” Law, 51, told Parade in 2009.
“I used to sleep until noon, but it’s not so bad to have to get up at 7 and give them breakfast. My daughter made me realise that if there’s anything that’s going to make a man of you, it’s having your will broken by a little girl.”

The jury is still out on just how many children Law has, though it’s believed he has seven.
His eldest three, Rafferty Law, 27, Iris Law, 23, Rudy Law, 21 – whom he shares with ex-wife Sadie Frost – are no strangers to the spotlight, but his youngest are kept firmly out of it.
Here’s what we know about Jude Law’s children, whom he shares with Frost, ex Samantha Burke, ex Catherine Harding, and wife Phillipa Coan.

Jude Law’s suspected two children with Phillipa Coan
It’s believed that Jude shares two children with his wife Phillipa Coan, whom he married in 2019, but confirmation of their names and sex has yet to come from the notoriously private couple.
Jude did confirm he and Coan had welcomed their sixth child together in September 2020, saying on The Tonight Show: ”It’s really wonderful. We feel pretty blessed that we were in a time where we could, as a family, just nest and enjoy each other’s company and every day as it came.”
They reportedly welcomed their second child together last year, but neither Jude nor Coan have confirmed this themselves.
