Jude Law Plays A Transvestite Supermodel

Jude Law certainly got in touch with his feminine side for his new role in the upcoming movie, Rage.

The actor plays a transvestite supermodel called Minx in the edgy film, which also stars Dame Judi Dench and Lily Cole as a starlet called Lettuce Leaf.

The film, scheduled for release later this year, is a murder-mystery set in the fashion houses of New York.

Director Sally Potter recently praised Law for his performance, which sees the 36-year-old actor wear a jet black wig and heavy-handed make-up.

Read Potter's blog in which she writes:

Jude Law, whose beauty has sometimes been held against him as an actor, made the courageous decision to accept the role of Minx - a "celebrity super-model" and took on a kind of hyper-beauty for this persona... a 'female' beauty which gradually unravels as the story unfolds.

Sally Potters movies are very feminist and highly eccentric so this ought to be really interesting. I saw her films in a feminist film class in college and they are very different films but good. I will definitely go see this movie.

Dude looks like a lady ...

It's a very awkward angle presumably to accent the feminine. I suspect, face on, he might not look quite so attractive.

10 bucks says the TV is the murderer.

He looks awesome! LO O O O O O VE the look! Better than most girls, what a face he has.
I think he is okay as an Actor and in the looks department, but.... If he pulls this movie off I might be a fan.

TV's are the thing this year
TV's are the thing this year
Machismo's great
But it's so out of date
And TV's are the thing this year.
