• Jude Law's son is called his exact copy.

• During his son's childhood, Jude constantly attended his children's performances, despite his popularity.

• The son is following in his father's footsteps and wants to step out of his parents' shadow.

Jude Law is an English actor known for his green eyes, dashing smile, and impressive body of work. He was born to teachers Margaret Anne Heyworth and Robert Law on December 29, 1972, in London, England. The actor made his debut in 1992 on the English stage, distinguishing himself as an outstanding newcomer.

He made his way to the big leagues on Broadway, which was the opening for him to venture into films, most notably in "Gattaca" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley." As his career gained speed, so did his personal life. He had his firstborn child in 1996 with his first wife, Sadie Frost, and they named him Rafferty Jelicoe Law. The couple had Iris and Rudy before their divorce in 2003.

Raff's Life

As he is known on Instagram, Raff looks just like his father in his heyday. The resemblance is inescapable; he is his father's son. But the young man is eager to make a name for himself outside of the shadow his famous parents cast. Speaking of how he handles constant comparisons between him and his dad, Raff said:

"I find it quite funny, because obviously we’re going to look quite similar – he’s my dad. It’s nice because we do have similarities and we are so close."

Raff, who considers his dad to be his best friend, shares the same sense of style. Both of them are into sporty shoes and a casual, chic vibe. And a love for eclectic music. Raff is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who founded the rock band Outer Stella Overdrive. He is also working on solo projects and collaborating with other writers.

Like his sister Iris, Raff has been modeling since he was a teenager, appearing in campaigns for DKNY, Topman, and Dolce & Gabbana and gracing the covers of fashion serials like "Sid Magazine."

At 26 years of age, he has a better handle on what he wants to spend more time on.

For someone who grew up in the spotlight, Raff has a healthy relationship with fame. As a child, he claims that he was unaware of his parents' popularity, But once he realized the place they held in society, Raff took it in stride as a part of their reality. As far as fame goes, it is not a goal of Raff's but rather a by-product of being creative.

Raff has realized what is more important than the business of building a career and making money. If the lockdown taught us anything, we should strive to dedicate time to the people we missed the most. On his part, Raff said of his family:

"I’m really lucky to have such a tight-knit family that supports each other. No matter what happens, if you have that, you feel happy."

In addition to being close to hid dad, Raff appreciates his mother, Sadie Frost, for her positive outlook on life, patience, and respect for other people. He says his parents support him and his siblings in their pursuits, encouraging them to be hardworking in anything they attempt to do.

Like Father Like Son

It may well be that being good at many things and having been exposed to so much made it harder for Raff to buckle down and find his "thing." At 26 years of age, he has a better handle on what he wants to spend more time on. Speaking of how he has struggled to focus on one of his many passions, Raff said:

“In the past, I’ve taken on too much and haven’t been able to give 100 per cent to one thing. But in the last few years, I’ve come to the decision that I know what I want. I’ve got the bug for acting.”

Raff has appeared in several short films, including "Dotty" 2013 with his mom, Frost. He and his dad filmed another in 2020 on an iPhone called "TheHat." Then in 2021, he was tapped to star in "Twist," a modern retelling of "Oliver Twist" by Martin Owen, opposite Lena Heady of "Game of Thrones" fame and the talented Sir Michael Caine.

He is also part of a project to be released in the spring of 2023. Masters of the Air is an Apple TV show centered on the legendary Eighth Airforce during WWII. The series will also star Barry Keoghan from "Eternals" and Callum Turner, who appeared in "Fantastic Beasts."

Despite his acting pedigree, Raff says that the most important thing is for his father to be proud of the man he is becoming. The rising star has lent his voice to Peta UK in protest of the use of bear fur used in the headgear worn by military guards stationed at official royal residences.

He has also spoken out about the pandemic's effect on young people's mental health, saying that the lockdown caused widespread fear and disruption that impacted those in transition deeply. In his own life, Raff pursues keeping his mind and body healthy by running, doing yoga, and cooking.

Raff sets three daily tasks and keeps himself occupied with home improvement projects, creating music, and reading scripts. His favorite thing is spending time with his big family. His father, Jude Law, is 50 and has had three more children with three other women, while his mother had another son with her second husband.
