Guess the hottie: what actor vamps it up in drag for new film?
Look closely at those lips and you’ll recognize the pout of actor Jude Law, who stars as “mysterious supermodel” Minx in the upcoming film Rage. The movie is a murder mystery written and directed by Sally Potter, whose films include Orlando and The Man Who Cried. Rage features a stellar cast, with Dame Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, and Eddie Izzard, who, as you may know, is himself partial to drag. Says Potter of Law, “Strangely, the more he became a ’she’, coiffed and made-up - the more naked was his performance. There was great strength in his willingness to make himself vulnerable. It was an extraordinarily intense part of the shoot.” It’s certainly a different turn from Law’s other upcoming film role as Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.
