Jude Law wore a perfume whose main ingredients were blood, tears and feces to play King Henry in the movie “Firebrand”. It is a period drama that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

“I read several interesting accounts that you could “smell” Henry three rooms away“, said the actor at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, May 22. And he continued:His leg had rotted so badly. He hid it with rose oil».

A specialist perfumer was brought in to create a bespoke perfume, Jude Law continued. “Somehow he found this extraordinary variety of blood, excrement (feces) and sweat. At first, I used it very discreetly. But then there was a “spray fest”“, said the actor with a smile.

The director of the film, Karim Aïnouz, gave his own testimony about the fragrance. “When Jude Law came on set it was just horrible“, he said with disarming honesty.

Law has won praise for his performance in the film, which focuses on the king’s final marriage, to Catherine Parr (played by Alicia Vikander).

The famous actor stated that he is not interested in the current monarchy, apart from its theatrical aspects. “I don’t really follow her,” he said. “I don’t like gossip. I don’t really enjoy it. I don’t find any interest in it and I don’t really like watching gossip stories».
