Jude Law revealed he was under strict instructions not to show his true self while filming— so the child actors on set remained genuinely afraid of him when he played Captain Hook.
“[Director] David Lowery had the idea of really trying to encourage them not to see me when I wasn’t Hook,”“So I just stayed as Hook the whole time, which was an opportunity just to be really scary and mean. Sounds kind of awful,”As Law explains it, it was easier for the young actors not to see him going in and out of character.Noam Galai/NBC via Getty Images
“I didn’t want to be talking to a little 6-year-old dude, and then suddenly it’s like, ‘Right. You hate me. I’m Hook. I’m Hook.’ So, instead, I just stuck as Hook,” he reasoned. ” And, yeah, a lot of the reactions you see in the film are their reactions to me for the first time, or as the man himself, you know?”“They met Jude at the end,” he laughed. “And I did what every adult should do to bribe children. I hired an ice cream van, and I drove it on-site and gave out ice cream.
“I wanted him to be sad, I wanted him to be scarred and gnarly and disgusting and scary, and funny too,” . “Like an overheated, angry dad or uncle who, from a kid’s perspective, is just really pathetic and loud.”The new film, which premiered Friday, stars Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, Ever Anderson as Wendy Darling, and Yara Shahidi as Tinker Bell.
