Jude Law Says He ‘Bribed’ The ‘Peter Pan’ Kid Actors With Ice Cream After Never Breaking Character As Captain Hook

Jude Law had a trick up his sleeve to get along with child actors. The actor played the fearsome Captain Hook in Disney’s live-action adaptation of “Peter Pan and Wendy”, a role which saw him acting alongside the cast of children.

In order to maintain the air of intimidation, he was apparently instructed by director David Lowery to never break character in front of them.

Sounds kind of awful. I didn’t want to be talking to a little 6-year-old dude and then suddenly it’s like, ‘Right. You hate me.

I’m Hook. I’m Hook.’ So, instead, I just stuck as Hook. And, yeah, a lot of the reactions you see in the film are their reactions to me for the first time, or as the man himself, you know?” It wasn’t until the end of filming that Law was allowed to break character and meet the cast properly for the first time.
