Wed Jun 1, 4:35 AM ET
LONDON (Reuters) - Star Wars star Ewan McGregor returns to the London
stage on Wednesday for the first time in six years to play inveterate
gambler Sky Masterson in a revival of the classic 1950s musical "Guys
and Dolls."
But he is refusing in his interpretation to make any comparisons with
Marlon Brando, who immortalised the role in the 1955 film alongside
Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons.
"I can assure you that I don't start thinking 'That's a bit like
Brando. I mustn't do that.' You just try to find the character and see
how it fits in your shoes," he said before launching into the show.
It is a demanding role and McGregor has been taking special care of his
voice and lost almost 13 kilos (28 pounds) in perfecting the musical's
exuberant dance routines.
"I can eat like a horse but they have to keep taking the suits in. It's
great," he said.
McGregor, whose singing voice won critical acclaim alongside Nicole
Kidman in the movie musical "Moulin Rouge," has been taking special
care of his voice in the lead-up to first night.
"You become incredibly aware of not damaging your vocal chords. You
don't go to places that are too noisy, you don't go to smoky
restaurants," he said.
McGregor, who stars in the last "Star Wars" movie as Jedi Knight
Obi-Wan Kenobi, has signed up for six months in "Guys and Dolls,"
appearing eight times a week on stage for a fraction of what he would
earn in a Hollywood blockbuster.
The Scottish actor, who shot to fame in the drug cult classic
"Trainspotting," has no complaints.
Referring to his first fortnight of rehearsals, he told reporters:
"These two weeks have been more fulfilling than any of my movies which
can be very draining. I needed my fix."
McGregor last appeared on the London stage in 1999 in "Little Malcolm
and his Struggle against the Eunuchs."
In the musical that has been highly praised in preview run-throughs,
McGregor stars alongside Jane Krakowski, best known for her TV role in
Ally McBeal, and British actor Douglas Hodge.
"My experience of Little Malcolm was being part of an incredible
theater company and cast. As opposed to coming back to the theater as a
movie actor doing Hamlet or a Scottish king, I was much more interested
in being part of a company," he said.

McGregor Takes Pay Cut for Musical
Hollywood star Ewan McGregor is taking a massive pay cut to star in a new
production of Guys And Dolls on the London stage. The Scottish actor has
signed a six month contract to play gangster playboy Sky Masterson in the
classic 1950s musical which will open at the West End's Piccadilly Theatre
on June 1. The 34-year-old says, "I do find it daunting going back to live
theatre after movies. I can't wait but I'll really have to work hard to
master the stage fright." McGregor's talent for singing first came to
international attention following his starring role in Moulin Rouge, and his
current co-stars are impressed by his instinctive ability to master complex
choreography during rehearsals. Artistic director Michael Grandage says,
"The big shock, or rather surprise, is that we truthfully didn't know what
Ewan's dancing skills were. Sky Masterson can easily be played without too
much dancing about. But we discovered he's a completely natural dancer so
we're really going to be using it. And he has a glorious voice." McGregor
last appeared on stage in the London Comedy Theatre's production of Little
Malcolm And His Struggle Against The Eunuchs in 1999. Grandage's Guys And
Dolls production, which also stars Ally McBeal beauty Jane Krakowski in her
West End debut, will see Damon Runyon's musical return to the London stage
after a 23 year hiatus.

DAILY NEWS FEATURE WRITER
It was the ghostly voice on a phone message that persuaded John Stamos to take
over the lead role in "Nine," once Antonio Banderas left the hit Broadway
musical.
This is the same John Stamos who became a heartthrob sitcom star as the Olsen
twins' teen-idol Uncle Jesse on "Full House."
Who is all over TV these days in commercials for the long-distance phone
service 10-10-987. And who is married to supermodel-actress Rebecca
Romijn-Stamos.
Even the '80s mullet hairdo is gone.
But replacing Banderas in the role of Guido Contini, the tortured, middle-aged
main character in "Nine," could be the biggest challenge of his career.
The good news is that it was Banderas himself who wanted Stamos to step in for
him after his six-month "Nine" stint was up.
In addition to encouraging his friend in person, he started to leave him joke
messages on voice mail.
"'Guido is ca-a-alling, Guido is ca-a-alling,'" woo-woos Stamos, imitating what
sounds like a Spanish accent putting on an Italian one.
Based on Federico Fellini's movie masterpiece "8-1/2," about a famous director
who has smacked up against a creative wall and made a mess of his love life,
the Stamos "Nine" starts previews tonight, with an opening in three weeks.
It also introduces Eartha Kitt into the cast. And as soon as she gets
acquainted with the role, Jenna Elfman ("Dharma and Greg") will take over the
part originated by Tony winner Jane Krakowski.
"Rebecca and I went to see him the first week of previews," the 40-year-old
Stamos says of Banderas' encouragement, "and Antonio was already saying, 'You
have to play this part.'" He and Banderas "talked over the emotional through
line," says Stamos - "a man having a midlife crisis. He's at a place where he
needs to come up with a hit, he's in love with three women at once, he's
grasping at anything and everything, and all the women he has ever loved come
back in his head."
Stamos flashes his heartthrob smile, and his romances with Paula Abdul, Vanity
and model Julie Anderson come to mind. Has he ever been in love with three
women at once? "Uh, well - my sisters, my mom and my wife," he says.
Simple-minded psychology would dictate that he married his mother, a former
swimsuit model, when he married Romijn. "They're very different," he laughs,
"though I get enough love from both. My mom is a very comforting person."
From his Greek father, he says, he learned "something I use every minute of
every day: discipline. It's a constant battle." The young Stamos worked in his
family's Bob's Burger Basket chain, in Orange County, Calif., during high
school. His father's death two years ago sent Stamos into his own midlife
crisis, though it took a dissimilar form from Guido's womanizing.
"I've never really been alone, especially after the whole TV thing started," he
says. "I suddenly just wanted to be by myself, grow a beard so no one
recognized me, take a large amount of cash, drive to the airport, buy a ticket
to anywhere - New Orleans, Greece. Rebecca was actually very supportive."
But he never went.
Instead, he seized a role completely against type, the effete and decadent M.C.
in "Cabaret" at Studio 54. As with his Broadway debut replacing Matthew
Broderick as J. Pierpont Finch in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really
Trying" in 1995, the critics applauded.
"Ever since 'Full House' ended," he says, "I have creatively spent every day
trying to show that I'm not that guy anymore. Don't get me wrong - it provided
me with fame and money so I could take care of my family."
In fact, after he learned that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were in town shooting
their movie "New York Minute," he said he'd invite them to his opening night in
"Nine."
Working against his "Full House" persona "has fallen into two categories," he
says.
"One is that I've gone darker, with 'Nine,' or movies like [the upcoming]
'Knots' or 'Party Monster.' Then there's the flip side, like a weird
independent short I've done called 'I Am John Stamos.' Even the 10-10
commercials are a campaign they designed around me just kidding around."
As for "Nine," he says: "The director [David Leveaux] is the most inspiring
person I've ever worked with. If the show didn't happen, I'd still walk away
with the best experience of my life."

------
September 12, 2004 -- Does this look like the kind of face you could get sick
of?
You'll find out soon enough, because this fall Jude Law will be like that old
French Canadian cartoon mouse, Savoir Faire.
He'll be evewywhere!
Between now and Christmas, the two-time Oscar nominee has - count 'em - six
movies, including some of the most anticipated films of the season.
It all starts this Friday with "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," a
visually inventive Indiana Jones-style blockbuster in which Law plays a
swashbuckling, Errol Flynn-like hero saving the world from giant robots with
help from Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.
After that, we'll see:
n"I ª Huckabees" (Oct. 1) - a decidedly quirky art-house movie by director
David O. Russell ("Three Kings"), starring Law as a department-store executive
who gets mixed up with a couple of "existential detectives," played by Lily
Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman.
n"Alfie" (Oct. 22) - a big-budget remake of the Michael Caine classic, starring
Law as the ultimate sophisticated womanizer, bedding everyone from Susan
Sarandon and Jane Krakowski to his current real-life girlfriend, British
starlet Sienna Miller.
n"Closer" (Dec. 3) - an Oscar-contending movie version of the Broadway drama
about unhappy, cheating couples, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Law,
Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman.
n"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" (Dec. 17) - an adaptation of
the popular children's book that stars Jim Carrey, but features Law's voice as
the narrator of the story.
n"The Aviator" (Dec. 17) - the Martin Scorsese-directed biopic starring
Leonardo DiCaprio as retro-Hollywood eccentric Howard Hughes, with Law in a
brief cameo as - who else? - Errol Flynn.
Law swears this flotilla of films isn't a plot to take over the world.
"It's strange really, because I made them over a period of two years," Law told
reporters last month.
"It's just my luck that they're all coming out in four months."
But the British actor, who turns 32 on Dec. 29, acknowledges that he was
working pretty hard for a while - possibly as a way to deal with last year's
much publicized split from his wife, Sadie Frost.
The couple officially divorced last October, after six years of marriage, and
their breakup was fodder for endless stories in the British tabloids, including
all those ones about Law supposedly getting together with Nicole Kidman on the
"Cold Mountain" set.
Law, Frost and their three children, 8-year-old Rafferty, 3-year-old Iris and
2-year-old Rudy, were pursued by so many paparazzi, Law said at the time, "it
was like being followed by snipers."
Regular people who spotted Law on the street would phone gossip columnists to
report on his movements.
"It's offensive," he told Playboy. "There's a culture of spying on people in
order to gossip and pick up a bit of cash."
In the midst of the chaos, Law threw himself into "Alfie," "Closer" and "Sky
Captain."
"I thought, I'll just go with the wave," he said in January.
"I've always been a big fan of taking time off, but I suppose I wanted to
change the game a bit.
"Actually, I really enjoy the strain and ongoing relay-race approach and
bouncing off one [film's] energy to another and another.
"It's almost like being in repertory theater - you're learning your lines for
the next one while filming this one."
Several of the movies were filmed in London, which gave Law the opportunity to
stay at home and be with his kids during the difficult divorce.
"It was a really pleasant year to be a working dad," he has said.
"To have breakfast with the kids, take them to school, go off to work and
return home later to put them to bed - it felt for the first time like a
regular job."
"Sky Captain" was one movie that took him out of town - to a warehouse in Van
Nuys, Calif., where he, Paltrow and the rest of the cast performed all of their
scenes on a bare stage.
The movie is the first-ever made entirely on computers. All of the vintage,
1930s-era imagery that makes up the unique look of the film was added after Law
and the other actors completed their roles.
First-time director Kerry Conran came up with the idea for making a movie like
this some 10 years ago. After laboring for four years, he came up with a
six-minute short film that sold Law on the concept.
As a life-long comic-book geek, Law was an easy sell. He's long wanted to do a
movie with comic-book flair, flirting for a while with the idea of playing
Superman, and often mentioning how much he'd like to appear in a movie version
of the popular Watchmen graphic novels.
Law liked Conran's vision so much, in fact, that he is producing "Sky Captain."
He helped arrange financing for the movie, and brought Paltrow and Jolie
aboard.
"I really thought that this piece was an old-fashioned family movie full of
romance, and fighting, and adventure - like 'Robin Hood' and 'Captain Blood'
and all those Errol Flynn movies," he says.
"There's none of that drug-dealing, gun-smuggling, coke-snorting kind of
testosterone cynicism. It's a clean-cut, non-cynical action film."
The "Sky Captain" plot, which takes place around the time of the 1939 World's
Fair, certainly sounds like an old movie:
After the giant robots invade New York, the government turns for help to Sky
Captain (Law) a mercenary airman who flies a sort of World War II Warhawk
fighter that also can turn into a submarine and go underwater.
He teams up with a reporter (Paltrow) and a mysterious pilot with an eye patch
(Jolie) to find out what's going on.
The trail takes them to South Pacific islands and into the snowy Himalayas,
where they find the evil Dr. Totenkopf - a mad scientist played, with another
bit of computer trickery, by the late British actor Laurence Olivier.
To accomplish that, Conran pieced together footage from old Olivier movies and
got another actor to do his lines.
Conran wasn't quite as good with his real-life actors, according to Paltrow.
"He was very shy in the beginning," she told reporters last month.
"It was pulling teeth to get him just to give us direction at first. You know,
we'd have to say, 'It's OK, Kerry.'"
Law and Paltrow both found it strange to work without scenery, in front of the
blue screen that special-effects people use when they're going to add computer
generated images later.
"It was sort that that egg-on-your-face feeling, like 'Is this gonna work?'"
Paltrow recalls.
"Jude and I used to joke that it was like doing some kind of 1960s experimental
theater off-, off-, off-Broadway."
The stars also used to tease Conran for his stay-at-home geekiness. Amazingly,
the director had never actually been to New York until after he starting making
"Sky Captain."
"It was hilarious," recalls Paltrow, who grew up on the Upper East Side. "He'd
have us making a left on Third and whatever, and I'd be like, 'Those streets
don't intersect.' "
But all of the stars will be onboard if "Sky Captain" is a success and
Paramount wants a sequel.
"Absolutely, we're already inventing prequels and sequels," Law says, adding
that "Sky Captain II" would probably have a much bigger role for Jolie.
She is only on screen for about five minutes in this movie. "But we were
thinking about how she has this eye patch," Law says. "The one big question on
all our minds was, 'What actually happened?'"
Law probably won't get to the sequel for a while, however. He's got a fresh
slate of movies to work on now, including "All the King's Men," a remake of the
1949 classic about a journalist (Law) who falls under the spell of a Southern
politician (who'll be played by Sean Penn).
There's also been talk of him remaking another Michael Caine movie, the 1972
whodunit "Sleuth" - and some speculate that he'll be the next James Bond.
He may even squeeze a vacation in there somewhere - and if so, it will probably
be somewhere exotic.
"I've spent most of my free time the past 10 years traveling in Southeast
Asia," Law told Playboy.
"It started with a trip to Vietnam. I loved it and have been to Cambodia,
China, Malaysia and Bali.
"Now I'm intrigued to see places like South America and Africa.
"I like the idea of constantly discovering."

But the British actor, who turns 32 on Dec. 29, acknowledges that he was
working pretty hard for a while - possibly as a way to deal with last year's
much publicized split from his wife, Sadie Frost.
The couple officially divorced last October, after six years of marriage, and
their breakup was fodder for endless stories in the British tabloids, including
all those ones about Law supposedly getting together with Nicole Kidman on the
"Cold Mountain" set.
Law, Frost and their three children, 8-year-old Rafferty, 3-year-old Iris and
2-year-old Rudy, were pursued by so many paparazzi, Law said at the time, "it
was like being followed by snipers."
Regular people who spotted Law on the street would phone gossip columnists to
report on his movements.
"It's offensive," he told Playboy. "There's a culture of spying on people in
order to gossip and pick up a bit of cash."
In the midst of the chaos, Law threw himself into "Alfie," "Closer" and "Sky
Captain."
"I thought, I'll just go with the wave," he said in January.
"I've always been a big fan of taking time off, but I suppose I wanted to
change the game a bit.
"Actually, I really enjoy the strain and ongoing relay-race approach and
bouncing off one [film's] energy to another and another.
"It's almost like being in repertory theater - you're learning your lines for
the next one while filming this one."
Several of the movies were filmed in London, which gave Law the opportunity to
stay at home and be with his kids during the difficult divorce.
"It was a really pleasant year to be a working dad," he has said.
"To have breakfast with the kids, take them to school, go off to work and
return home later to put them to bed - it felt for the first time like a
regular job."
"Sky Captain" was one movie that took him out of town - to a warehouse in Van
Nuys, Calif., where he, Paltrow and the rest of the cast performed all of their
scenes on a bare stage.
The movie is the first-ever made entirely on computers. All of the vintage,
1930s-era imagery that makes up the unique look of the film was added after Law
and the other actors completed their roles.
First-time director Kerry Conran came up with the idea for making a movie like
this some 10 years ago. After laboring for four years, he came up with a
six-minute short film that sold Law on the concept.
As a life-long comic-book geek, Law was an easy sell. He's long wanted to do a
movie with comic-book flair, flirting for a while with the idea of playing
Superman, and often mentioning how much he'd like to appear in a movie version
of the popular Watchmen graphic novels.
Law liked Conran's vision so much, in fact, that he is producing "Sky Captain."
He helped arrange financing for the movie, and brought Paltrow and Jolie
aboard.
"I really thought that this piece was an old-fashioned family movie full of
romance, and fighting, and adventure - like 'Robin Hood' and 'Captain Blood'
and all those Errol Flynn movies," he says.
"There's none of that drug-dealing, gun-smuggling, coke-snorting kind of
testosterone cynicism. It's a clean-cut, non-cynical action film."
The "Sky Captain" plot, which takes place around the time of the 1939 World's
Fair, certainly sounds like an old movie:
After the giant robots invade New York, the government turns for help to Sky
Captain (Law) a mercenary airman who flies a sort of World War II Warhawk
fighter that also can turn into a submarine and go underwater.
He teams up with a reporter (Paltrow) and a mysterious pilot with an eye patch
(Jolie) to find out what's going on.
The trail takes them to South Pacific islands and into the snowy Himalayas,
where they find the evil Dr. Totenkopf - a mad scientist played, with another
bit of computer trickery, by the late British actor Laurence Olivier.
To accomplish that, Conran pieced together footage from old Olivier movies and
got another actor to do his lines.
Conran wasn't quite as good with his real-life actors, according to Paltrow.
"He was very shy in the beginning," she told reporters last month.
"It was pulling teeth to get him just to give us direction at first. You know,
we'd have to say, 'It's OK, Kerry.'"
Law and Paltrow both found it strange to work without scenery, in front of the
blue screen that special-effects people use when they're going to add computer
generated images later.
"It was sort that that egg-on-your-face feeling, like 'Is this gonna work?'"
Paltrow recalls.
"Jude and I used to joke that it was like doing some kind of 1960s experimental
theater off-, off-, off-Broadway."
The stars also used to tease Conran for his stay-at-home geekiness. Amazingly,
the director had never actually been to New York until after he starting making
"Sky Captain."
"It was hilarious," recalls Paltrow, who grew up on the Upper East Side. "He'd
have us making a left on Third and whatever, and I'd be like, 'Those streets
don't intersect.' "
But all of the stars will be onboard if "Sky Captain" is a success and
Paramount wants a sequel.
"Absolutely, we're already inventing prequels and sequels," Law says, adding
that "Sky Captain II" would probably have a much bigger role for Jolie.
She is only on screen for about five minutes in this movie. "But we were
thinking about how she has this eye patch," Law says. "The one big question on
all our minds was, 'What actually happened?'"
Law probably won't get to the sequel for a while, however. He's got a fresh
slate of movies to work on now, including "All the King's Men," a remake of the
1949 classic about a journalist (Law) who falls under the spell of a Southern
politician (who'll be played by Sean Penn).
There's also been talk of him remaking another Michael Caine movie, the 1972
whodunit "Sleuth" - and some speculate that he'll be the next James Bond.
He may even squeeze a vacation in there somewhere - and if so, it will probably
be somewhere exotic.
"I've spent most of my free time the past 10 years traveling in Southeast
Asia," Law told Playboy.
"It started with a trip to Vietnam. I loved it and have been to Cambodia,
China, Malaysia and Bali.
"Now I'm intrigued to see places like South America and Africa.
"I like the idea of constantly discovering."

Jude Law can relate to Alfie role
Law raises Caine - & his own profile - with Alfie remake
By DARRYL STERDAN -- Winnipeg Sun
NEW YORK CITY -- Jude Law knows what being a ladykiller is all about.
"Yeah, I had my Alfie days," the boyishly handsome actor admits to a roomful
of reporters. "I think it was my late teens. You know -- those years when
suddenly you're legally allowed into bars and you're allowed into clubs and
the world, you suddenly realize, is offering itself to you."
Not that the world has exactly been kicking him in the teeth since then. At
least not professionally. In the wake of star-making, Oscar-nominated turns
as doomed playboy Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley and Civil War
deserter Inman in Cold Mountain, Law has never been hotter. Fans swoon over
his British accent and approachable sophistication. Hollywood loves his
acting skills and increasing bankability. And the tabloids go gaga over the
messy details of his personal life.
So, in a bizarre way, it only seems fitting that for his latest role -- and
first solo outing as a full-fledged leading man -- Law has stepped into the
shoes of one of cinema's most beloved lotharios: Alfie. In a lighthearted
update of the 1966 British dramedy starring Michael Caine, Law plays the
laddish titular rake, a merry misogynist living a self-absorbed, solipsistic
existence of "wine, women and ... well, actually, that's it."
"He's a guy who really doesn't seem to be doing anyone any harm," says Law.
"He can't help himself. He's not malicious. He's not a bad guy. He just
can't help himself. He's just made up wrong."
And, like it or not, there's a little bit of Alfie in all of us, he insists.
"I like to think everyone -- man and woman -- identifies with this guy," he
says. "I think everyone will recognize at least one in-route or out-route or
survival tactic in the relationships in this film. And we can all identify
with having been either the dumped or the dumper or the cheated or the
cheater at some point in our lives.
"But the beautiful thing about this film is that it's not just about a guy
who likes to screw around," he says. "There are so many levels to it. You
can stand back and look at the bigger picture."
Indeed, Alfie's love 'em and leave 'em approach -- during the course of the
film, he woos a bevy of beautiful birds (see sidebar) -- would seem to be
out of step with today's world of safe sex and neo-conservatism. But Law
sees it as a commentary on contemporary gender roles.
"I think we've found ourselves at a very interesting and very confusing
time, generally. There has been so much equalizing that we've all kind of
lost a little sense of who and what being a woman and being a man is about.
There's this kind of murky middle ground now ... and out of that, has
spawned, in certain areas, misogyny.
"It applies to both genders," he emphasizes. "This film is as scarily
relevant to women as to men. I know a lot of Alfie women. You know, women
who think power is wielding their sexuality. Who think power is being on the
cover of a magazine in a bikini and being paid a lot of money."
They're not the only ones getting paid. Law reportedly bagged $10 million
for Alfie. He earned every penny -- if only for the uncanny way he channels
Caine, duplicating the combination of roguish charm and sociopathic
heartlessness that made the original film a landmark. Remarkably, Law
initially resisted the role, leery of doing a remake. Nor, he insists, did
he base his Alfie on Caine's definitive performance.
"I certainly never went back and studied it. I felt it was more important to
sort of rely on the spirit. For example, when I did Cold Mountain, I read
the novel twice, then put it down and that was it, I left it. You have to
move away from it and remember the essence -- feel what influence it left on
you and be inspired by that. I think I'd have made a mistake if I'd tried to
be Michael playing Alfie. I had to be Jude playing Alfie and discover Alfie
for myself."
OK, so maybe it's unfair to call him the Michael Caine of this generation.
As for the Michael Caine of this fall -- well, that's another story. With a
cinematic prolificacy that Caine might admire, Law is a ubiquitous presence
at the box office these days, with six films playing tag at the multiplex
between Labour Day and Christmas. First came the underwhelming
retro-rocketeer tale Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and the
existential comedy I Love Huckabees. This Friday comes Alfie. Then, he'll
surface in the romantic drama Closer, with Julia Roberts, lend his voice to
the kid-lit adaptation Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and
play another notorious womanizer -- Errol Flynn -- in Martin Scorsese's
Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator. Even to Law, it seems like overkill. But
he's keeping a stiff upper lip about the situation.
"I could let myself get weighed down with a cynical view that these films
that took me two years to make have all come out or will come out in a
period of about five months. But I have to look at that positively rather
than negatively because I have got no say in the matter. I chose them
because they offered something very different -- they're very different
parts in very different films by very different directors. And I hope that
people will recognize and enjoy the variety rather than the bombardment."
And while he seems to be increasingly called on to play playboy on screen,
Law says his reality is rather different.
"If one is perceived to be good looking, then I suppose one is thought to
have the capacity to (seduce) and therefore you want to use that. But that
doesn't deal with the internal workings of an individual and what makes them
comfortable," he says. "If you look at my life, I was someone who always
looked for commitment. That's in my makeup. I guess that's why I got married
and had children."
That part of the story, unfortunately, doesn't have a Hollywood ending. Last
fall, after six years of marriage, Law and Sadie Frost -- who have an
eight-year-old son Rafferty, a four-year old daughter Iris and a
two-year-old son Rudy -- divorced amid a blizzard of tabloid tales accusing
him of infidelity with Cold Mountain co-star Nicole Kidman and chronicling
Frost's battle with depression.
Law remains devoted to his children -- although Hollywood beckons, he
continues to live in London to be near them. But he has moved on
romantically, striking up a relationship with 22-year-old Alfie co-star
Sienna Miller, who denied recently that the pair were already engaged.
Whatever the truth, Law seems to live up to his claim of being a one-woman
guy who's quite happy to confine his playboy ways to the screen. Though
don't hold your breath for The Return of Alfie.
"We did have this idea that we're going to do a sequel where he's an
assassin," he jokes. "And the catchphrase is: He shags -- and he kills."
Maybe Jude Law doesn't really know what being a ladykiller is about after
all.
ALFIE'S LITTLE BLACK BOOK
DORIE
The Cheating Wife
- Hair: Blond
- Eyes: Blue
- Rendezvous Spot: The back of Alfie's limo
- Played by: Jane Krakowski
The former Ally McBeal star jumped at the chance to snag a role in this
remake. Little did she know on her first day, she'd have to strip, jump on
Jude Law and mock-shag him.
"I show up on my first day at 7 a.m., meet Jude and then it's, 'Okay, now
we're doing what?!' I was tense."
Law, fittingly, was quite the charmer.
"When you're feeling absolutely insecure with your entire chest hanging out,
he would be telling you how beautiful you are, how sexy you are. He doesn't
have to do that ... but it's lovely!"
- Says Alfie: "She deserves to be appreciated ... while she's in her prime."
LONETTE
The Best Friend's Girl
- Hair: Brown
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: The pool table
- Played by: Nia Long
Barkeep Lonette is supposed to be off limits, being as her guy Marlon is
Alfie's pal and co-worker -- but Alfie doesn't let that get in the way.
"We're sort of like each other's forbidden fruit," Law says. "She's heard
the stories, met the girls, but she's always been a little curious."
After the sizzling scene between Law and the Third Watch star Long, the
other women got curious.
Says Krakowski: "I was saying, "Well I heard Nia's scene is really hot. What
did you do with Nia?' "
- Says Alfie: "Gorgeous, smart, funny, can balance a dozen drinks on a tray
and still move like poetry."
JULIE
The Single Mom
- Hair: Brown
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: Her apartment
- Played by: Marisa Tomei
Director Charles Shyer had to muster all his seductive charms to get Tomei
to take the role.
"At first I really resisted," she says. "I didn't want to be the square one.
I didn't want it to be, "Oh, she's normal and nice and boring, so he
therefore should be with her,' while everyone else is nuts and exciting and
sexual and wild."
Shyer eventually convinced her -- though Alfie still tries to play her for a
fool.
"That's okay. We're all fools for love."
- Says Alfie: "She's my semi-permanent-quasi-sort-of-girlfriend."
NIKKI
The Bad Girl
- Hair: Blond
- Eyes: Blue
- Rendezvous Spot: Anywhere and everywhere
- Played by: Sienna Miller
Who? You may not know this novice actress, but Law does -- she has become
his off-camera squeeze (they recently denied they were engaged.)
"Sienna's a brilliant actress and I'd love to work with her again," is all
he'll say on the subject.
Guess this isn't one of those times when life imitates art. Onscreen, Alfie
quickly runs out of patience with Miller's unstable, overindulgent
socialite.
- Says Alfie: "That's Nikki -- a beautiful statue, damaged in a way you
can't see until you get too close."
LIZ
The Older Woman
- Hair: Red
- Eyes: Brown
- Rendezvous Spot: Her bathtub
- Played by: Susan Sarandon.
The 58-year-old actress has Alfie singing the praises of older women. Or at
least her wealthy and maturely sexy cosmetics maven.
"I was the last one in bed," Sarandon says. "So we had to figure out what we
would do that was different. And I think the sexy moments on screen are the
first time that people touch each other."
So, with the help of some absinthe, she makes it clear Alfie has met his
match.
"She's the one that really sees him for what he is."
- Says Alfie: "She's someone who could mother you and rock your world."

By RUSSELL SCOTT SMITH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
October 24, 2004 -- It all started on a couch for Jude Law and Sienna Miller.
Specifically, it was on a sofa belonging to Charles Shyer, the director of
their new movie together, "Alfie."
"They met in my living room," Shyer recently told reporters of Miller's "Alfie"
audition last year. "We drank some wine. Did some screen tests. Then drank some
more wine."
Before long, the 22-year-old Miller had the biggest part of her still-young
career.
And while she was on the set of "Alfie" last fall, she bagged a perhaps even
greater prize - Law himself.
Since then, the couple have stayed remarkably tight-lipped about the
relationship, but very soon we'll get to see a bit of their chemistry on
screen.
"Alfie" opens a week from Friday, and it features some very hot smooching
between Law and Miller.
"We have some very steamy scenes, which were a lot of fun," Miller says.
Of course, the 31-year-old Law has steamy scenes with a harem of women in this
big-budget remake of the 1966 Michael Caine classic. He plays the ultimate
sophisticated womanizer, and winds up bedding Susan Sarandon, Jane Krakowski,
Nona Gaye, Marisa Tomei and more.
That's not Law's style, however, and his relationship with Miller started
slowly.
"When they first met," Shyer told New York magazine, "I think Sienna was a
little gaga. But Jude's a cool customer."
So is Miller - at least now.
This summer, Law took his three children from his marriage to Sadie Frost to
Italy to visit Miller, who has been making a movie about Casanova with Heath
Ledger and director Lasse Hallstrom.
"I keep reading this quote which says I apparently pinch myself when I wake up
with Jude," Miller told reporters last week. "But it's not true."
Ever since Law and Miller went public with their romance, the British tabloids
have hounded them.
The constant attention enrages Law, which Shyer used during a scene in "Alfie"
when the actor is supposed to punch a limousine's windshield.
"The windshield's a paparazzi," Shyer told his star, and Law hit the glass so
hard he cracked it.
Miller isn't thrilled, either.
"I'm not coping very well with the attention, if I'm honest," she told
reporters at the "Alfie" premiere in London last week.
"I suppose it's part of the package, but I really haven't learned to cope. I
think you just have to become very thick-skinned and cynical. It's tough."
Still, Miller is better prepared for the spotlight than most of us would be,
since she grew up around fame.
Her mother is an American ex-model who moved to London in the 1970s, had a
fling with David Bowie and wound up running the London branch of the Lee
Strasberg school of drama.
Her stepmother is the well-known British interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
Miller wanted to be an actress from the age of three and after some modeling
gigs for Pepsi and H&M, she got her first big break in the short-lived TV
comedy "Keen Eddie."
Now that she's together with Law, many are calling her London's new It Girl.
"It blew me away when I first saw her on camera," Law has said. "I think she's
extraordinary."

Alfie is an unnecessary re-make of a classic
Alfie
Director: Charles Shyer
Cast: Jude Law, Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Jane Krakowski, Omar Epps, Nia
Long
Cert: 15.
In re-making Michael Caine's memorable film about the title-named Cockney
serial womaniser the studio hasn't done the story any real good.
It's not a totally bad follow-up, it's just that nothing new has been added
and Law, for all his popularity, is no Caine. Moving the tale to New York
from l960s London doesn't add much anything, except for that good old Yankee
shine.
Law plays a Brit spreading his charms freely around the Manhattan females
and wondering what it's all about; nothing more, nothing less.
The females, all quality actresses, seem to be merely there, adding nothing
more, nothing less to what is a disappointing, not to say completely
unnecessary re-make of a classic.
What's it all about?
Star Rating: 2/5

Sienna takes the Mickey out of Law
08:18am 15th October 2004
Sealed with a kiss: Sienna Miller kisses Mick Jagger while Jude Law looks
vaguely amused
Jude Law got his comeuppance last night as his girlfriend Sienna Miller
kissed notorious ladies' man Mick Jagger at the premiere of his new film
Alfie.
The British heartthrob is reprising the role made famous by Michael Caine
and fell for Miller during filming.
But for the rest of the evening, Miller and Law only had eyes for each
other.
The couple fell for each other while filming the remake of the Sixties
classic.
Law takes on the Michael Caine role of the Cockney womaniser who beds a
string of beautiful women and Miller plays one of his conquests.
Asked if Law had anything in common with his character, Miller smiled: "He's
as charming but not such a misogynistic b******."
The 22-year-old actress, who wore a black camisole and matching trousers,
admitted she was nervous about attending last night's premiere in London's
Leicester Square.
"It's my first big thing but it's really exciting and it's great to be
here," she said.
Law, 31, said he had a blast playing Alfie. "I'm very proud of it and I just
hope other people enjoy seeing it as much as I did making it," he said.
The Oscar-nominated actor fell for Miller during the break-up of his
six-year marriage to Sadie Frost.
Alfie director Charles Shyer revealed the couple's attraction began during a
screen test at his home.
He said: "They met in my living room, she is a pretty girl. We drank some
wine, did some screen tests, then drank more wine.
"It evolved from there, things happen and they make a great couple."
Co-star Jane Krakowski, best known for playing secretary Elaine in the TV
series Ally McBeal, said the couple kept their relationship secret on set.
"There were rumblings it was going on but you couldn't really see it
happen," she said. "I only found out from the papers afterwards."
Other celebrities at the premiere included Sir Mick Jagger and his
girlfriend L'Wren Scott. The Rolling Stone wrote the score for the film with
ex-Eurythmics star Dave Stewart.
Sir Bob Geldof, Nicole and Natalie Appleton, and Sir Elton John's boyfriend
David Furnish were also there.
The film updates the 1965 story and moves the action from London to
Manhattan, where Law's Alfie works as a limousine driver.
Besides Miller, the character also has affairs with women played by Susan
Sarandon and Marisa Tomei.
Sir Michael Caine, who was not at last night's premiere, has given the
remake his seal of approval and described it as "a form of flattery".
He said: "I think it's great that Jude is playing Alfie. He is a friend and
I'm a great admirer of his. I think he's a wonderful actor."
Alfie opens in the UK on October 22 and in the US on November 5.

http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---23200,00.html
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The titular womanizer in "Alfie" doesn't have to
compete for ladies' attentions, but that's exactly what's happening with the
film's release.
Afraid that "Alfie" will get lost among the other women-friendly films opening
on Oct. 22, Paramount Pictures has moved the debut of the romantic comedy
remake starring Jude Law to Friday, Nov. 5, according to The Hollywood
Reporter.
If the film had stayed at the original release date, it would have had to go up
against the expanded release of "I (Heart) Huckabees," the Sarah Michelle
Gellar-starring horror film "The Grudge" and the Ben Affleck holiday comedy
"Surviving Christmas."
Instead, "Alfie's" main competition will Pixar's animated family film "The
Incredibles."
"Alfie," the remake of the 1966 Michael Caine film, centers on a limo driver in
New York who is an unrepentant playboy. The film also stars Susan Sarandon,
Marisa Tomei, Nia Long, Jane Krakowski and Sienna Miller.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/240112p-205972c.html
From the first moments of "Alfie" to the final fade-out, Jude Law addresses the
camera - or us - like an old chum. He smiles and winks, charms and confides.
Michael Caine did it more slyly in the 1966 original, which the new version
updates to present-day Manhattan. It's a tricky gambit, one that makes an actor
seem very cozy with the audience.
Law, 31, says he's unlike Alfie Elkins, an incorrigible womanizer and
lad-about-town who avoids love and commitment as he pursues fresh bedmates. Yet
by talking to the camera in such an intimate way, he used parts of himself
almost unexpectedly.
"To be honest, for the first time in my life, I found a contemporary man with
my voice - and yet it was definitely a leap into a character," says Law. "It
was completely someone else's skin, philosophy, opinions, lifestyle. But,
having said that, perhaps the reason I couldn't really research this part was
because there had to be a certain amount of no-holds-barred [emotion] to it - I
just had to play it and get it out of me. And because of that, there also had
to be a certain amount of instinct that is me coming through Alfie, in order to
make those moments of honesty and intimacy with the audience work.
"It's not me," he emphasizes. "You probably see a lot more of me in the moments
when I talk to the camera than you ever have, but it's always funneled through
Alfie."
Feeling familiar with Law is especially easy this movie season. "Alfie's" Nov.
5 release follows the September opening of "Sky Captain and the World of
Tomorrow," in which he plays a square-jawed action hero, and the opening nine
days ago of "I ª Huckabees," in which he plays a slick superstore executive.
In December, he stars in the relationship drama "Closer," has a cameo as Errol
Flynn in "The Aviator" and narrates "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate
Events."
Law acknowledges his Hardest Working Man in Show Business image, even if it
wasn't planned.
"I took all these jobs over two years because they were so varied," he says.
"It's going to be very odd for an audience to be bombarded by these completely
different types of characters at the same time. I hope it pays off."
It should certainly help audiences appreciate the actor's range, which he
previously demonstrated as the homely killer in "Road to Perdition," the
robotic stud in "A.I." and the passionate but laconic Confederate soldier in
"Cold Mountain."
"Law is best when he's playing dark characters," observes Karen Durbin, film
critic for Elle magazine. "He's capable of using his looks in different ways.
He can externalize evil, as in 'Perdition,' yet in 'Sky Captain' he's the
proper romantic hero. He could have been Britain's Brad Pitt, but he's best
when he's tormented."
Law's heavy workload also coincided with the collapse of his six-year marriage
to actress Sadie Frost. They met in 1993 while filming "Shopping," married in
1997, and have two sons and a daughter; Law has also helped raise Frost's son
from her first marriage. The couple's divorce in October 2003 followed several
public altercations.
SPRING IN HIS STEP
During that difficult time, Law says the back-to-back work "wasn't there at the
ready, it just sort of came that way. In hindsight, did it help? I guess so. It
meant I could concentrate on something. I imagine it was easier going to work
every day than sitting at home wallowing in something that's very painful."
Law says he never uses work to get his private life in order, however: "I think
if you have to go to work to solve personal problems, you're really not taking
them seriously. The hardest thing about relationships is facing up to what you
did wrong and learning from that, and trying in the next one to not do that, or
at least recognize when you are creating the same pattern."
That kind of self-realization is exactly what Alfie avoids. Caine's incarnation
of the chatty cad showed the bleak side of swinging '60s London: He's a sexual
opportunist who, on the inside, simmers from maternal neglect and yearns for
fatherhood while radiating a fake good-time attitude to the single "birds" and
frustrated housewives who fall for him.
In director Charles Shyer's new version, Alfie has "more of a spring in his
step," as Law says. He's an overeager pup instead of a wolf. But his relations
with women played by Jane Krakowski, Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Sienna
Miller and Nia Long go sour because of his emotional unavailability.
(Life didn't mimic art when Law met Miller, 22, while shooting "Alfie" in New
York last October. They began dating and are still together.) "I wouldn't say
Alfie is soulless, but the better part of the film is about watching a guy
recognize that this veneer he's built up is not going to bring him inner
happiness," says Law. "But you're seduced by him, I hope, as much as the women
are.
"Unlike the original, his appetite for women is more sexual rather than sort of
having someone around as a handmaiden," Law continues, referring to the Julia
Foster and Jane Asher characters in the 1966 film. "He's still a predator, but
he's got a more happy-go-lucky approach to life. The '60s version takes place
in a more seedy world. And I think his relationship with the audience is a
little more deceitful now - Alfie's trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
"I like to think everyone, man and woman, can identify with this guy. But I
guess when you look at my life, I was someone who always looked for commitment,
which is why I married [young] and had children. But we can all identify with
being the dumped or the dumper, the cheat or the cheated."
"Jude was an early choice [for the role], and it fit him like a glove, although
this isn't who he is," says Shyer. "He's not an Alfie - he's got three kids and
a stepchild. Talking to the camera was hard for him emotionally because he's
not brash. He's less a movie star than an actor, part of the English theatrical
tradition. It's almost a working-class attitude toward acting."
Law started performing in a children's musical theater troupe in South London,
where he grew up. The son of schoolteachers, he got roles in theater and
British TV, breaking into films in the action drama "Shopping." He continued to
work on the stage, earning a Tony nomination for his performance in 1995's
"Indiscretions." In 1997, he played a paraplegic in the sci-fi drama "Gattaca."
He says it was the project on which he first grasped the craft of film acting.
Two years later, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his
portrayal of the expat golden boy Dickie Greenleaf in "The Talented Mr.
Ripley." His performance as the wounded deserter Inman in "Cold Mountain"
earned him a Best Actor nomination.
"I [studied] Civil War-era poetry, music and literature to create Inman's inner
turmoil, which I hoped you could read through my eyes," he says of working on
that film. "With 'Alfie,' I relied entirely on an instinctive energy, falling
back literally on the clichés of looks, flirtation, zest, all of that.
"The watershed for me really was 'Huckabees,' and recognizing the sort of
freedom and anarchy and eccentricity that [director] David O. Russell allowed,"
he adds. "I did 'Alfie' right after that movie, and I felt fearless and more
free.
"And I got involved in both 'Alfie' and 'Closer' at about the same time. In
'Closer,' you see four people tearing each other apart. With 'Alfie,' you're on
a journey through one guy's perceptions. Only at the end does he realize the
answers are inside him, not outside."
And that, too, may echo something within Jude Law.
"With acting, you draw on everything you've experienced, and if you haven't
[had those moments], then you dig within yourself to see how it might have
felt. Sometimes that's difficult, but anything to make it real for the
audience. Though having experience helps."

NY POST

------
September 12, 2004 -- Does this look like the kind of face you could get sick
of?
You'll find out soon enough, because this fall Jude Law will be like that old
French Canadian cartoon mouse, Savoir Faire.
He'll be evewywhere!
Between now and Christmas, the two-time Oscar nominee has - count 'em - six
movies, including some of the most anticipated films of the season.
It all starts this Friday with "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," a
visually inventive Indiana Jones-style blockbuster in which Law plays a
swashbuckling, Errol Flynn-like hero saving the world from giant robots with
help from Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.
After that, we'll see:
n"I ª Huckabees" (Oct. 1) - a decidedly quirky art-house movie by director
David O. Russell ("Three Kings"), starring Law as a department-store executive
who gets mixed up with a couple of "existential detectives," played by Lily
Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman.
n"Alfie" (Oct. 22) - a big-budget remake of the Michael Caine classic, starring
Law as the ultimate sophisticated womanizer, bedding everyone from Susan
Sarandon and Jane Krakowski to his current real-life girlfriend, British
starlet Sienna Miller.
n"Closer" (Dec. 3) - an Oscar-contending movie version of the Broadway drama
about unhappy, cheating couples, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Law,
Julia Roberts, Clive Owen and Natalie Portman.
n"Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" (Dec. 17) - an adaptation of
the popular children's book that stars Jim Carrey, but features Law's voice as
the narrator of the story.
n"The Aviator" (Dec. 17) - the Martin Scorsese-directed biopic starring
Leonardo DiCaprio as retro-Hollywood eccentric Howard Hughes, with Law in a
brief cameo as - who else? - Errol Flynn.
Law swears this flotilla of films isn't a plot to take over the world.
"It's strange really, because I made them over a period of two years," Law told
reporters last month.
"It's just my luck that they're all coming out in four months."
But the British actor, who turns 32 on Dec. 29, acknowledges that he was
working pretty hard for a while - possibly as a way to deal with last year's
much publicized split from his wife, Sadie Frost.
The couple officially divorced last October, after six years of marriage, and
their breakup was fodder for endless stories in the British tabloids, including
all those ones about Law supposedly getting together with Nicole Kidman on the
"Cold Mountain" set.
Law, Frost and their three children, 8-year-old Rafferty, 3-year-old Iris and
2-year-old Rudy, were pursued by so many paparazzi, Law said at the time, "it
was like being followed by snipers."
Regular people who spotted Law on the street would phone gossip columnists to
report on his movements.
"It's offensive," he told Playboy. "There's a culture of spying on people in
order to gossip and pick up a bit of cash."
In the midst of the chaos, Law threw himself into "Alfie," "Closer" and "Sky
Captain."
"I thought, I'll just go with the wave," he said in January.
"I've always been a big fan of taking time off, but I suppose I wanted to
change the game a bit.
"Actually, I really enjoy the strain and ongoing relay-race approach and
bouncing off one [film's] energy to another and another.
"It's almost like being in repertory theater - you're learning your lines for
the next one while filming this one."
Several of the movies were filmed in London, which gave Law the opportunity to
stay at home and be with his kids during the difficult divorce.
"It was a really pleasant year to be a working dad," he has said.
"To have breakfast with the kids, take them to school, go off to work and
return home later to put them to bed - it felt for the first time like a
regular job."
"Sky Captain" was one movie that took him out of town - to a warehouse in Van
Nuys, Calif., where he, Paltrow and the rest of the cast performed all of their
scenes on a bare stage.
The movie is the first-ever made entirely on computers. All of the vintage,
1930s-era imagery that makes up the unique look of the film was added after Law
and the other actors completed their roles.
First-time director Kerry Conran came up with the idea for making a movie like
this some 10 years ago. After laboring for four years, he came up with a
six-minute short film that sold Law on the concept.
As a life-long comic-book geek, Law was an easy sell. He's long wanted to do a
movie with comic-book flair, flirting for a while with the idea of playing
Superman, and often mentioning how much he'd like to appear in a movie version
of the popular Watchmen graphic novels.
Law liked Conran's vision so much, in fact, that he is producing "Sky Captain."
He helped arrange financing for the movie, and brought Paltrow and Jolie
aboard.
"I really thought that this piece was an old-fashioned family movie full of
romance, and fighting, and adventure - like 'Robin Hood' and 'Captain Blood'
and all those Errol Flynn movies," he says.
"There's none of that drug-dealing, gun-smuggling, coke-snorting kind of
testosterone cynicism. It's a clean-cut, non-cynical action film."
The "Sky Captain" plot, which takes place around the time of the 1939 World's
Fair, certainly sounds like an old movie:
After the giant robots invade New York, the government turns for help to Sky
Captain (Law) a mercenary airman who flies a sort of World War II Warhawk
fighter that also can turn into a submarine and go underwater.
He teams up with a reporter (Paltrow) and a mysterious pilot with an eye patch
(Jolie) to find out what's going on.
The trail takes them to South Pacific islands and into the snowy Himalayas,
where they find the evil Dr. Totenkopf - a mad scientist played, with another
bit of computer trickery, by the late British actor Laurence Olivier.
To accomplish that, Conran pieced together footage from old Olivier movies and
got another actor to do his lines.
Conran wasn't quite as good with his real-life actors, according to Paltrow.
"He was very shy in the beginning," she told reporters last month.
"It was pulling teeth to get him just to give us direction at first. You know,
we'd have to say, 'It's OK, Kerry.'"
Law and Paltrow both found it strange to work without scenery, in front of the
blue screen that special-effects people use when they're going to add computer
generated images later.
"It was sort that that egg-on-your-face feeling, like 'Is this gonna work?'"
Paltrow recalls.
"Jude and I used to joke that it was like doing some kind of 1960s experimental
theater off-, off-, off-Broadway."
The stars also used to tease Conran for his stay-at-home geekiness. Amazingly,
the director had never actually been to New York until after he starting making
"Sky Captain."
"It was hilarious," recalls Paltrow, who grew up on the Upper East Side. "He'd
have us making a left on Third and whatever, and I'd be like, 'Those streets
don't intersect.' "
But all of the stars will be onboard if "Sky Captain" is a success and
Paramount wants a sequel.
"Absolutely, we're already inventing prequels and sequels," Law says, adding
that "Sky Captain II" would probably have a much bigger role for Jolie.
She is only on screen for about five minutes in this movie. "But we were
thinking about how she has this eye patch," Law says. "The one big question on
all our minds was, 'What actually happened?'"
Law probably won't get to the sequel for a while, however. He's got a fresh
slate of movies to work on now, including "All the King's Men," a remake of the
1949 classic about a journalist (Law) who falls under the spell of a Southern
politician (who'll be played by Sean Penn).
There's also been talk of him remaking another Michael Caine movie, the 1972
whodunit "Sleuth" - and some speculate that he'll be the next James Bond.
He may even squeeze a vacation in there somewhere - and if so, it will probably
be somewhere exotic.
"I've spent most of my free time the past 10 years traveling in Southeast
Asia," Law told Playboy.
"It started with a trip to Vietnam. I loved it and have been to Cambodia,
China, Malaysia and Bali.
"Now I'm intrigued to see places like South America and Africa.
"I like the idea of constantly discovering."
