Jude Law first rose to prominence in the mid-1990s, later gaining worldwide recognition in the summer 1999 holiday dream movie The Talented Mr Ripley with fellow nineties' favourites Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Since then, Law's performances went from strength to strength, with roles in favourites like Enemy at the Gates, Cold Mountain, Alfie and The Holiday.

The actor, now 47, is still selecting roles in blockbusters like Captain America and Fantastic Beasts, TV like The Young Pope and upcoming movie The Hat - which also stars Rafferty.

Who is Jude Law's son Rafferty Law and how old is he?

Jude Law's son Rafferty is Law's eldest child and has followed his father into the world of acting. Aged 24, Rafferty has already starred in various shorts and is also soon to be seen in the upcoming movie Twist - a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist (whom Rafferty will play) also starring Rita Ora, Lena Heady, Michael Caine and Noel Clarke.

On the side, Jude Law's son Rafferty - who usually goes by Raff - is also a DJ, musician with band Outer Stella Drive - who recently released their first EP - and model having walked for Dolce and Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week and DKNY as a teen.

What will Rafferty Law star in with dad Jude Law?

The father-and-son duo will star in The Hat, a short film which they shot on an iPhone during lockdown, and is already lined up for release in November.

Marking the first time Jude and Raff have acted together, the charity film - with proceeds benefitting the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America - will premiere at the Raindance Film Festival. The score was written by The Who's Pete Townshend and is directed by Darren Strowger.

Who are Rafferty Law's parents?

Well, this article will definitely have clued you in on Raff's father by now. His mother is actor and fashion designer Sadie Frost, who was married to Jude from 1997 - after meeting on the movie Shopping - until they divorced in 2003.

Frost is currently in a relationship with Strowger, the director of the upcoming film starring Raff and Jude.

Raff spoke about his famous parents in a recent interview, in which he drew upon the advantages and disadvantages of being the offspring of celebrities.

'I think there have been advantages and disadvantages to it,' he told Wonderland. 'I’ve always focused on pursuing the things I love and proving to people that I’m hardworking.'

Who are Rafferty Law's siblings?

Jude and Sadie have three children: Rafferty, Iris and Rudy. Iris is a model, having walked for Miu Miu and is also a regular at fashion month, spotted in the front rows of Burberry, Fendi and Valentino.

Raff also became a brother once again during lockdown when his father and wife Phillipa Coan welcomed their first child together. Jude also has two other children from previous relationships.

It's likely we'll only be seeing more of Raff Law.
