In Jude Law's new film 'Rage,' he plays a transsexual supermodel named Minx -- and the actor is almost unrecognizable in his role.
But it wasn't easy for the actor to get into costume. "On the first day, it took a few hours because I had to remove all my hair. I'm a bit of a coward. I didn't go for the waxing. I just shaved it," he tells PEOPLE.
Law admits the experienced some discomfort "when [the hair] grew back."
The Oscar-nominated actor, whose ex-girlfriend Samantha Burke gave birth to his fourth child -- a daughter named Sophia, co-stars in 'Rage' with Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, John Leguizamo, Bob Balaban, Eddie Izzard and Dianne Wiest.

Whos jude law? I've heard the name before and always assumed it was a female. Boy is my face red... well not actually. Like it hasnt been done before anyways... To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. And go figure, John Leguizamo is in this thing too.
no, really. no one cares about sexual orientation anymore. pansexual, transexual, bi, straight, gay. it's very american to have to put titles on things.
My my my Jul-G, as someone far older and far wiser than I said long ago, methinks thou does't protest too much. To put that in words you will understand, cuppycake, you can come on out of that closet now babydoll, no one really cares about sexual preference anymore (other than those pathetic souls like you still desperately trying to HIDE it when everyone around you already knows anyway). It is those, again, like you, who scream and stamp their feet and and puff our their chests and make the most(ridiculously spelled) downright STUPID of comments about gay people, or people simply playing the ROLE of a gay man for heaven's sake. Roles which had you actually taken the time to watch at all you would have found to be a thing of pain, love, passion and tragic loss the likes of which one so shallow as you will never experience, in or out of your smelly little closet.
KingTesticusGuile, you clearly are angry because you aren't secure enough in your own sexuality to deal with someone that is gay. I know where my genitals are going at the end of the night-- so I don't care if someone else decides to have a same sex relationship. You use words like "fag" because you are clearly threatened by the idea of someone being gay. I see much fear in you. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
To "KingTesticus" (and who here uses a name that does/doesn't represent themselves?)...You are sick of this homoerotic stuff, yet you are the one who clicked on this link. Are you so daft that you thought this would not lead to this type of story or conversation, seriously? I think not - you just needed to put your homphobic comment on this page like half of the other people. And no, I am not gay....I am sure you think I am just because I support gay rights. But that's ok, I am secure. You are obviously not and your "name" shows it...

I see some homophobic comments here. You know, time and time again it has been proven that the biggest homophobes tend to be closeted homosexuals.

KingTesticusGuile,
