Jude Law went to some pretty extreme lengths while getting into character as King Henry VIII.

Angelique Jackson Following the franchise-topping $426 million success of “Bad Boys for Life” was going to be a tough task for any director. Fortunately, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” has two — the Belgian directing duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, collectively billed as Adil & Bilall. In this fourth installment, Adil & Bilall send Miami PD detectives Mike Lowery (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) on the run, framed for crimes they didn’t commit.

Jude Law, who famously starred in the iconic 1999 film The Talented Mr. Ripley, has a 27-year-old son named Rafferty who looks so much like his famous dad that you're sure to do a double-take. Rafferty looked like he'd stepped back in time when he stepped out at The Bikeriders premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, 17 June as he donned a loose-fitting pinstripe suit and slicked back hair that resembled his father's statement 90s look.
