Jude Law Says He Has 3 Kids. Really?

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 18th 2009 12:07PM

Jude Law forgot how to count on Thursday when asked by David Letterman how many kids he has. There to promote the awesome-looking 'Sherlock Holmes,' Law and the 'Late Show' host were going through the whatcha-doin-for-Christmas motions when he said "I usually try to take the children on a bit of an adventure." Letterman followed up with "how many kids?" and Law gave a flat-out "three."

While Law indeed has a trio of kiddies with ex-wife Sadie Frost, he forgot to mention the daughter he conceived with former girlfriend Samantha Burke. Expect extra presents under the tree, Sophia! Watch the clip after the jump!

In other Law news, the actor has finally broken his silence about Fruitgate, the scandal he caused when he chucked apples and oranges at NYU students he believed were snooping on him at the gym.

"They were spying on me when I was with the kids and working out," Jude exclusively told HollywoodLife.com Thursday. "It got to where I truly felt like [they were] peeping Toms. Where I come from, peeping Toms have things thrown at them."

Law threw the fruit at windows, not the actual students. "They were lucky I'd run out of eggs," Jude admitted.

He actually only has three biological kids. The oldest with Sadie Frost was hers before he married her, so counting the recent one, he does have only 3 kids.

According to IMDB, Frost has a child named Finlay with her first husband and three children (Rafferty, Iris and Rudy) with Law. So he does have four children, if you count Sophia.

Is that only me? Why have I heard him say: I went with three. Only he pronounced "went with" very quickly. So what's wrong with that?

By Lori

Men!!! If it wasn't for Momma what would we do.

By clair

Or maybe he doesn't acknowledge the 'love child' and really is the d*** that he seems to be.

By Amanda

Actually it was a one night stand. I'm sure he didn't want a baby out of it and I'm sure she didn't prevent herself from getting pregnant (cha-ching). That's all I'm saying, go ahead an bash me now.

Hello??? If he didn't want a baby, then why didn't he wear a raincoat? Or two????? Or just not engage in the "act" at all?

By Stephanie

What a cad. The poor little bastard is going to watch that someday.

By AJ

Keep it classy, Jude Law.

Can't stand that guy.

By Cristina

Maybe he was just trying to say he's only bringing 3 of his children to the beach for the holidays?

By celticangel607

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Unless I heard it wrong, it didn't sound to me like Letterman actually asked "How many kids do you have?" It sounded more like "How many kids are we talking here?" or something like that, so Jude probably thought he meant how many kids was he taking on vacation.
Honestly, while I don't condone Jude's behavior (nor that of the 4th child's mother), I don't see why he's getting so much flack for it when so many other celebrities do the same thing and nobody says much of anything. He's a great actor (just saw his wonderful performance as Hamlet) and I wish people would pay more attention to that.

By Danielle

This a story about nothing as usual. He's blatantly talking about taking his kids away for the holidays and Letterman is asking how many are you going away with. Not how many kids has Jude fathered.

By Gabriel

That's exactly right. Reading the article in context, he isn't saying how many children he has, but how many are going on the "family adventure." Good eye, Danielle. Bad eye, media.

By WCH

'The little bastard...' Oh man that is funny! Good bit of wit!

By a

calling him a father would be really preposterous. isn't it obvious that he's been always playing a "father", for his children, for his ex-wife, and of course for himself. because deep inside he's been always a manwh*re, and always will be. he wants to fcuk but he doesn't want to pay the price.
and now he doesn't want to play a "father" again for one more of his children, now he simply says 'no mas'
this story is nothing but proof of that and of his nature, a manwh*ore

He said "I've got three". Clearly NOT referring to the holiday!

By amount

He acted like he snorted about a pound of cocaine and put on bright red lipstick.

By laura

...or maybe...he's like most people in this world...he played and he doesn't really care about the after effects...in fact...the only thing he probably cares about is that we seem to be obessesed--as long as we obsess he gets to keep making movies!

By Most Awesome One

I think in the context the question was asked, he was referring to how many kids he normally has running around with him, so he answered 3. I don't think he intended to leave out #4, it is just that that one is not normally with him.

By Lav

He IS a gaffe!
