Sadie Frost and Jude Law's multi-talented son speaks with L'OFFICIEL about taking on the lead role in Martin Owen's upcoming movie ‘Twist’ and breaking into the fashion industry. 

Twenty-three, the son of movie stars <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/art%20&amp;%20culture/talkingwith-jude-law-and-zoe-kravitz">Jude Law</a> and Sadie Frost, and raised in London, Rafferty Law is ready to conquer the world as a model, actor, and musician. From walking <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/dining/valentino-and-new-york-city-s-casa-magazines-debut-collaboration">Valentino&#39;s</a> runway to&nbsp;being surrounded&nbsp;by artists, he has garnered the praise from many in the fashion and entertainment spheres, not to mention attention for an unconfirmed flirtation with pop star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/at-home-quarantine-with-rita-ora">Rita Ora</a>. At the beginning of 2021, Sky TV will launch Twist, a contemporary reinterpretation of the 19th century novel by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/classic-holiday-christmas-movies">Charles Dickens</a>. Directed by Martin Owen, Law plays the protagonist alongside a monster-like Michael Caine. In more excitement, the first album from his&nbsp;band, which he has played with since he was a boy, will also be released next year. Known as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2020/07/17/premiere-outer-stella-overdrive-bad-times/">Outer Stella Overdrive</a>, Law plays with Rudy Albarn (the son of Damon, the charismatic voice of Blur), Jamin Amin, and Kelvin Bueno. The band&#39;s&nbsp;single &quot;Bad Times&quot; has already made a splash, in part thanks to a music video directed by Law&#39;s mother.

Here, L&#39;OFFICIEL speaks with the young talent about is budding role in the world of fashion and film.

L&rsquo;OFFICIEL: You are becoming a regular presence at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/how-to-stream-attend-digital-fashion-week">fashion week</a>.&nbsp;How important is fashion to you?

RAFFERTY LAW: I was about 16 when I started reasoning with my mother about proving myself as a model. It took me a couple of jobs to understand that I liked it a lot, to get in touch with stimulating people, starting with the photographers you shoot with. It also helped me strengthen my self-esteem and to make me discover a fundamental aspect of my character.&nbsp;I realized that to work well, I have to be put under pressure.&nbsp;I like that feeling of positive tension that pushes me to give my best.

L&#39;O: Does that apply to acting too?

RL: When they gave me the <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/story/twist-movie-jude-law-raff-law-michael-caine-rita-ora/">role</a> of Oliver Twist I knew I had to prove that I really deserved that part, so I prepared as much as possible. The contemporary cut that the director wanted required&nbsp;a great physical agility of my character, so I started with parkour courses and additional <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/home-exercise-program-workout-fitness">training</a> in the gym. I wanted to be the best I could when I was on set.

L&rsquo;O: And how did it go?&nbsp;

RL: In front of the cameras, everything was natural. Since I was little I have been experimenting and testing myself between <a href="https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2018/11/02/new-noise-outer-stella-overdrive-raff-law/">music</a> and acting.&nbsp;I feel that I am slowly realizing my dream of performing and being able to communicate with the public. To tell the truth my first desire was to be a footballer, but now I would say that I am happier like this.

L&rsquo;O: And your father can give you more tips in terms of movies than in midfield...

RL: During the lockdown we made a short film together with the direction of Darren Strowger (the current partner of the mother Sadie) and we are happy because <a href="https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a34369156/rafferty-law/">&quot;The Hat&quot;</a>&mdash;whose proceeds will be donated to charity&mdash;was nominated for the Best UK Short Film at the <a href="https://www.raindance.org/">Raindance Film Festival</a>, which will take place in late October. While filming, I realized the good fortune of being surrounded by wonderful family and friends. I hope to be surrounded by this positivity in the future as well. If I keep my head in place, work hard and don&#39;t let difficulties knock me out, I say I can.

Jersey VALENTINO.
