Great actors have their own methods and for veteran star Jude Law, his techniques on and off the set of Peter Pan & Wendy scared the cast, to which he apologizes in the best way he knows, saying, "I did what every adult should do."
Peter Pan & Wendy joins the ranks of the live-action adaptations of the Disney classics that are being brought to life and Jude Law plays the iconic Captain Hook.
Being the veteran actor that he is, he has his own methods and techniques in action to which he applied for his role in Peter Pan & Wendy.
While it may be a bit too much, Jude Law revealed in an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he remained in character even if the cameras weren't rolling as per the suggestion of the director, David Lowery.
Law said, "David Lowery, our wonderful director, 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."
Law added, "I didn't suddenly want to be talking to a little six-year-old as Jude and then suddenly it's like 'You hate me, I'm Hook, I'm Hook.' So instead I just stuck as Hook."
Law revealed that some reactions in the movie are genuine ones from the cast upon seeing him as Captain Hook, "A lot of the reactions you see in the film are their reactions to me for the first time or as the man himself."
Law apologized to the cast in the best way that he can, "They met Jude at the end, and I did what every adult should do to bribe children, I hired an ice cream van. I drove it on site, gave out ice cream."
"Nothing like chocolate ice cream to persuade a child you're alright," Law concluded.
Peter Pan & Wendy brings an adventure to the magical land, Neverland, where Wendy Darling and her brothers will be meeting the boy who never wants to grow up, Peter Pan, and his tiny fairy, Tinker Bell.
From the beloved children's story from the 1904 play titled The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, and the 1953 Disney movie, Peter Pan, Peter Pan & Wendy brings the narrative to life on Disney Plus.
Jude Law stars as the iconic Captain Hook in Peter Pan & Wendy alongside Alexander Molony as Peter Pan, Ever Anderson as Wendy Darling, Yara Shahidi as Tinker Bell, and Jim Gaffigan as Mr. Smee, Hook's first mate.
The Darling family, alongside Anderson, are Joshua Pickering as John Darling, Jacobi Jupe as Michael Darling, Molly Parker as Mary Darling, and Alan Tudyk as George Darling.
