Jude Law recently admitted that he didn’t read any of the Sherlock Holmes books before getting a part in the 2009 production.
“Yes, I’m English, but I never really read the Sherlock books as a boy,” said Law. “This was a new literary discovery for me, but a great one because as an adult I was able to sit down and love the source material.
“Believe me when I say it’s a good thing to grab a mug of tea and curl up with a great Sherlock Holmes book.”
As for the Sherlock Holmes, the movie:
“The production designers did an amazing job embellishing historic England,” he said. “The details were exquisite. I really felt as I had taken a time travel back into history.”
