Am I allowed to say that?

Just gonna make sure the Marvel police

No, I can say that.

Is Jude Law left-handed, no.

[laughs] That's such an interesting

common Google about you. Yeah, no, I'm not, I'm not.

I went to Harvard.

A lady!

I was born in 1981.

I was born in the 1900s.

When did Natalie Portman become vegan?

Seven years ago when I was about to give birth

to my child, my first child.

Reading the book Eating Animals.

I highly recommend it.

Well, my closest friends are people

you've probably never heard of.

They're my friends from school.

I have a few friends from work, work life,

California life, too.

You got a lot of friends!

That's not true.

I've seen you. Yeah, I got a couple

of friends. I've seen you out.

I've seen you out and about.

I know, I've got a lot of acquaintances.

I'm getting nervous about the does-es.

Does Jude Law have tattoos?

I do, I have just a couple on my forearms here.

Very small ones.

Does Jude Law speak Spanish?

Uh, no, I don't,

but I think they may be asking that

because there's a scene in The Young Pope.

I learned the scene in Spanish,

because Popes tend to speak multiple languages,

so I learned Italian and Spanish for the film.

But you speak Italian now?

[speaks foreign language]

That's pretty cool.

Did Jude Law narrate Fargo?

No, I wish I had.

I love that film.

That's a great movie.

22 and 16.

How did Jude Law die? [laughs]

What, what?!!

[laughter] What, what?!

I love that someone-- Oh my god.

What I love about that is,

is they're just pretty certain I am dead.

Now they wanna know how.

This is distressing. How did Jude Law die?

There was a period when all my parts

ended rather gruesomely.

I've had my brains bashed in.

I've been blown up.

Oh, I got shot, didn't I,

in Cold Mountain. Did any of your family

members get upset about it?

Because my family members get very distressed.

I did make the mistake of showing my son AI

a little bit too young,

and Gigolo Joe gets sort of sucked up

by a giant magnet and kind of,

you assume, pulled to pieces for scrap iron.

It somewhat affected him.

He was like four years old.

But, he's forgiven me.

Oh my god, I didn't know there was more.

Does Natalie Portman,

this is the does round. Oh, does Natalie Portman,

oh boy.

Does Natalie Portman have a sister.

Huh uh, I'm an only child.

Yes, I have a big beautiful Jew-fro

that I iron out for special events.

Does Natalie Portman sing in Vox Lux?

Yeah. I do, I do.

I sing songs written

by Cia. And some.

Does Natalie Portman sing Natalie's Rap?

Yes, I do, I do.

What Jude Law?

What the?

What was Jude Law's first movie?

Shopping, it was called.

Uh, yeah, many, many, many years ago.

What is Jude Law and a semester abroad about?

Okay, I'm a bit embarrassed about this.

This is a song called Jude Law and a Semester Abroad

or something like that.

I'm not quite sure.

I think I listened to it once or twice years back

when it came out, but I don't,

I don't quite know what it's about.

So if anyone knows, please let me know.

[Natalie] I'm going to be Googling that later.

What height is Jude Law?

I wish I could say I was six foot one, but I'm not.

I'm a little shorter than that.

On a good day, I'm six foot.

On a bad day, I'm five 11 and a half.

What's Jude Law's real name?

Okay, this is a common, this is a really,

this is an annoying, annoying truth.

My parents stupidly had this idea

to name me and my sister after their best friends.

My Dad's best friend is David,

and my sister's best friend is Andrea,

but they never called us those names, ever.

So my middle name, Jude, is what my mom and dad

and everyone always calls me.

So my name on my passport is David Jude Heyworth Law.

Heyworth is my mom's maiden name.

But no one's ever called me David.

Everyone's called me Jude,

but I get, people are always like,

oh, you changed your name to Jude because you're an actor.

I didn't.

Thanks, Mom and Dad.

What is Jude Law up to?

[laughs]

God knows.

What color are Jude Law's eyes?

Blue, they kind of change color, bluey green?

Depends on what shirt

you're wearing. Poly-colored.

Well, I hope you learned something about us.

[laughter]

Go see our movie Vox Lux, please.

And thanks for watching Auto-Complete.
