LONDON – Sex rat Jude Law is upset because studios have been offering him smaller and smaller parts ever since he was photographed in the nude by a paparazzo last summer at his mother’s villa in France. A photo of Law changing into swim trunks on what must have been an unseasonably cold August day has been making the rounds on the Internet for more than two months.
Shortly after the photo had appeared, Law received a script from Miramax Films, which is remaking the 1956 classic Giant. At first Law thought he was up for the Jett Rink part, played by James Dean in the original movie. He was deflated to learn, however, that Miramax wanted him to play Angel Obregón II, a role that had gone previously to Sal Mineo.
Law turned down the offer, saying it wasn’t suitable for an actor of his stature. A source at Miramax, who asked not to be identified, told the Pug Bus, “In our estimation Mr. Law appears to be well suited for smaller bits.”
At first Law assumed the Miramax offer had been occasioned by his shabby treatment of his fiance Sienna Miller and/or several other women to whom he had been unfaithful. Miller called off her engagement to Law after he had been outed by one of his own children who had seen him jumping the nanny.
Law was preparing to issue a third public apology to Miller when a script for a new DreamWorks project entitled Santa’s Little Helper arrived via special courier at his London home. After reading the script, Law assumed he would be asked to portray Flint Hooper, a billionaire philanthropist who goes to elaborate lengths to play Santa Claus each Christmas. Law’s enthusiasm shriveled when he was offered the role of Santa’s head elf, Tiny Dancer, instead.
No sooner had Law turned down the DreamWorks project than Oscar-winning director Ron Howard phoned to offer Law a role as Dakota Fanning’s love interest in a sequel to I Am Sam.
“I can’t repeat what he screamed at me,” Howard told the Pug Bus, “but I took it to mean he wasn’t interested in the part. That’s a shame. From what I’ve seen he really is made for the role.”
