Jude Law comments on his son Rafferty's acting talents

According to People, Jude Law still looks much the same as he did when he first gained fame in America with his role in 'The Talented Mr Ripley'. 

Jude noted that he was also 27 years old, as his son is now, when he starred in the Anthony Minghella film, and their physical resemblance at the same age is strikingly uncanny. 

Jude told PEOPLE, "I look back on that film now, it's strange to think it was 25 years ago, My eldest son Rafferty is 27, and I wasn't much older than he is. I think I was the same age, actually."

Rafferty, who has pursued a career as a model and actor like his father, recently starred in 'Masters of Air'. 

Jude emphasized his son's acting talents and said, "He's really good, I loved him in that show." 

Rafferty has mentioned that having famous parents has mostly been a blessing as he forges his own path in the entertainment industry. 

He shared his thoughts on his well-known parents, Jude Law and Sadie Frost, "I think there have been advantages and disadvantages to it," 

He added, "I've always focused on pursuing the things I love and proving to people that I'm hardworking." 

Meanwhile, Jude recalled his role in 'The Talented Mr Ripley' and how it has transformed his life in several ways, "I think there was an attention suddenly, to choices I was making, who was I working with, Suddenly people cared about what was going on in my private life too." 

He concluded, "All of that was quite a lot to have happen at once. I look back and I'm really proud. I think I handled it pretty well."
