Jude Law tries to block ex Sadie Frosts sleazy tell-all book
Jude Law is in the Czech Republic for the annual film festival, and the photos of him are quite amazing. I love when he looks like this – all tan and smarmy and furry and sweaty and pretty, all at once. Why can’t American men look like this? Only Europeans. It sucks. He is such a beautiful man, it’s not even funny. The photo of him with his sunglasses on, licking his lips as he’s about to greet the crowd – I mean, that’s what a f-cking movie star looks like. He reeks of old-world, old-school, old-Hollywood glamour, with a nod to the smarminess we now know about all of those old stars. He looks like he’s about to get someone pregnant, and he won’t even know her name.
Jude had a rough time last week – he filed an injuction to stop publication of his ex-wife Sadie Frost’s tell-all memoir, Crazy Days. It’s set to be published in the UK in October, and Sadie is thought to detail not only her marriage to Jude, but details of their relationship post-divorce, like stuff involving Sienna Miller and that nanny. My guess is that it will probably also detail all of those rumored drug-filled orgies with Kate Moss too (fun!). So Jude wants no part:
Their life has often resembled a kitchen-sink drama, but the relationship between Jude Law and Sadie Frost has reached a new low. For I can reveal the actor finally lost patience with his ex-wife over her plans to write her memoirs — and has begun court proceedings to halt her divulging the secrets of their turbulent marriage.
‘Jude is trying to injunct her to stop the book,’ I am told.
The memoir, which she is writing herself, is called Crazy Days. It is due to be published in October, and is said to be well advanced.
‘She’s poured her heart into this and is upset and hurt by what Jude has done,’ a friend of the actress-turned-designer tells me. ‘She thought they were getting on very well — and suddenly he’s serving a 100-page writ. It’s ironic, because he had been at her house earlier in the day and they discussed the book, which is going to be very honest. She knows he has reservations, but she’s let him read bits of it. She’s astonished he’s taken this step.’
It is understood Law, who is expected to marry actress Sienna Miller this summer, is concerned revelations about their turbulent marriage could upset the couple’s three children, Rafferty, 14, Iris, ten, and Rudy, eight. He also does not want pictures of the children, whose privacy he fiercely protects, appearing.
The book is expected to lift the lid on Sadie’s colourful life in North London, where she became queen bee of the louche, so-called ‘Primrose Hill posse’. It spans her childhood, acting career and entry into the fashion world — as well as her marriage and break-up with Law.
Friends of Sadie insist the book is about her story, not about her ex-husband’s, or that of close friends like Kate Moss.
Law, 37, and Frost, 44, wed in 1997 and divorced in 2003. The Alfie star then took up with Sienna, but they split up in 2005 after his affair with their nanny, Daisy Wright.
Sienna went out with actor Rhys Ifans and later with married father-of-four Balthazar Getty, while Sadie has enjoyed romances with a string of toyboys, including flamenco guitarist Jackson Scott.
Last night, Law’s solicitor, Mark Thomson of Atkins Thomson, said: ‘I can’t, at least I won’t, tell you anything about this.’

Poor Jude. He’s got lady drama all over the place, doesn’t he? He can’t help it – the ladies in his life will always be drama-filled, because that’s the way he likes it. I’m starting to think he thrives on it. But I do see his point about blocking Sadie’s memoir. If Jude was smart, he would have included a confidentiality agreement into their divorce settlement – basically, if Sadie pulled this sh-t, Jude wouldn’t give her any more money. I wonder if that’s what he is threatening behind the scenes?
