Congratulations to Skeleton Crew’s Jude Law who was honoured with the 2,798th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, December 12th, joining fellow Star Wars alumni including Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Ewan McGregor, Carl Weathers and Ming-Na Wen.
Awarded in the category of Motion Pictures, Law’s star is the 2,798th to adorn the Los Angeles landmark. Law joins fellow Star Wars stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Ewan McGregor, and The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau as honorees on the world-famous Walk of Fame. Law’s friends and family were on hand at the unveiling in Hollywood.
“Jude Law’s incredible talent and dedication to his craft have captivated audiences around the world,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Law also took the podium, speaking with affection about his collaborators during his acting and filmmaking career. “You can’t act alone,” he said. “The need to collaborate is very much at the heart of the medium’s biggest reward. [The people] I’ve collaborated with over thirty years, the people who I’ve learned from, and been encouraged by, guided by, and inspired by, they’re the reason I have this star.”
The award-winning actor also thanked his parents, who had supported his love of film since childhood by showing him a range of cinema, from silent films, to Hollywood’s golden era, to the biggest blockbusters of the 1970s and 1980s. “To have a place here amongst the talent that I grew up watching in all those films is both sublime and ridiculous,” he said with a smile. “I really appreciate it.”
