Jude Law @ Letterman

Jude Law promotes his new movie Sleuth (he produced and acts in it) on Tuesday’s episode of The Late Show with David Letterman. The film is a remake of the 1972 movie, in which Michael Caine played the role of hair salon owner Milo Tindle. Jude takes on this role in the 2007 version.

“Because of the way it evolved, it really felt it was really an original take on it,” Jude has said. “So I don’t feel like I was stepping on (Caine‘s) toes. [And] working with Michael is extraordinary. I feel very lucky. I’ve worked with some great actors. Michael is an icon, you know, he’s also a gentleman, he’s also incredibly modest, he’s also very good fun.”

Sleuth opens in limited release on October 12.
