Skeleton Crew’s Jude Law honored with a Walk of Fame star

BBG News

As a long-time fan and avid follower of the entertainment industry, I must say that witnessing Jude Law receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The man’s talent and versatility have graced our screens for decades, and to see him recognized in such a tangible way was truly heartwarming.

It’s clear that the four children in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew have been instrumental in generating the show’s favorable reception. However, Jude Law’s character, Jod Na Nawood, has added an extra layer of intrigue to the storyline. Known for his Oscar-nominated performances and boasting twenty awards under his belt, Law is a celebrated British actor. As of December 12, 2024, he will be forever associated with Los Angeles, having received a star on the Walk of Fame.

What is the Walk of Fame?

The Hollywood Walk of Fame, established in Los Angeles on February 9, 1960, was initially suggested as a “boulevard of stars” by E.M. Stuart to highlight the artistic contributions made to the entertainment industry. This famous attraction stretches over three blocks on Vine Street and an additional 15 blocks along Hollywood Boulevard.

Jude Law’s terrazzo and brass star is the 2,798th star to be installed and is included in the category of Motion Pictures. Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez had this to say about Thursday’s honoree:

Jude Law’s incredible talent and dedication to his craft have captivated audiences around the world.

Kelly Knox from StarWars.com remarks that he has portrayed a well-known professor of magic, a proud alien leader, a friend to the world’s most celebrated detective, a king of England, and a cunning space pirate captain in a distant galaxy… all with fervor and genuine charisma. Law now shares this prestigious honor with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Carl Weathers, Ming-Na Wen, and Ewan McGregor, as they are among the esteemed Star Wars actors who have earned a Walk of Fame star.

What are Jude Law’s thoughts on the Walk of Fame honor?

At the ceremony, Law paid tribute to those who have helped him throughout his storied career. “The need to collaborate is very much at the heart of the medium’s biggest reward,” he said before saying that those he’s “collaborated with over thirty years, the people who [he’s] learned from and been encouraged by, guided by, and inspired by, they’re the reason I have this star.” He also mentioned that his parents encouraged his love of film from his early childhood and “To have a place here amongst the talent that I grew up watching in all those films is both sublime and ridiculous… I really appreciate that.”

At the significant event, it was Director David Lowery, known for his work on both Peter Pan and Wendy and two Skeleton Crew episodes, who also shared some words. Reflecting on Law, whom he had long admired in previous films, he humorously stated, “I remember thinking, one day, somehow, I’ll collaborate with this actor, not just in one but two projects, where he portrays a pirate involved in mischief with a group of escaping kids.

Kudos to Jude Law for this well-deserved recognition! You’ll find him portraying Captain Silvo, Crimson Jack, or Jod Na Nawood in the latest installments of “Skeleton Crew” streaming on Disney+.
