Jude Law - Robert Pattinson - Celebrity News - Marie Claire

Jude Law has revealed he's relieved R obert Pattinson has taken his ‘Adonis' crown so he can concentrate on serious acting.

No stranger to starring as the love interest, the handsome Mr Law has played a string of dashing men in romantic films like The Holiday.

But recently he's been able to take on more demanding roles.

And the publicity-shy star has told a German newspaper it's all down to Robert Pattinson and a host of other young Hollywood stars.

‘If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight,' he said.

‘Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction.'

The publicity-shy star added he felt being one of Hollywood's handsome heartthrobs detracted from his talent as an actor.

‘My goal was always to be recognised as a good actor but no-one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance,' he contined.

Luckily for Mr Law, there's whole host of hot young talent rising up the Hollywood ranks.

From Robert Pattinson to Taylor Lautner and Nicholas Hoult, there are endless choices for hot male leads.

So we reckon he should be able to escape the limelight safely.

People were never interested in his acting, because it is terrible and the reason he is not getting the leading man role any more is because he is seriously losing his looks. Not much left for Jude except bit parts, or is that just me hoping?

Sorry, I prefer manly men. Adam Baldwin is both ruggedly handsome and an exceptional actor.

What a conceited jackass! He might not want to give that crown away so quickly - it's probably helpful in concealing his rapidly-receding hairline!

He's full of himself aint he, he goes to great lengths to make public, who sleeps with a waitress dubbed a socialite and a struggling actress and then doesn't expect her to kiss 'n' tell? Plonker

Smug toad! Talk about "I love me, who do you love?" I saw him as Dr Faustus in the title role and he did act well - luckily it was pretty dark, so I wasn't dazzled by his beauty!!!!

Jude is gorgeous. I don't understand the obsession with Robert Pattinson... he is disgusting and he can't act to save his life. He's only popular because of the sad 13 year old little girl twilight addicts. Hugely overrated

I just don't understand why Jude would make such a comparison at all.

Robert Pattinson is truly icky.
