“Peter Pan & Wendy” — so the child actors on set remained genuinely afraid of him when he played Captain Hook.“[Director] David Lowery had the idea of really trying to encourage them not to see me when I wasn’t Hook,” Law, 50, said Tuesday on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”“So I just stayed as Hook the whole time, which was an opportunity just to be really scary and mean. Sounds kind of awful,” “The Holiday” actor admitted.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jude Law revealed on “The Tonight Show” that he stayed in character as Captain Hook any time he was on the set of David Lowery’s “Peter Pan and Wendy.” The Disney reimagining casts Law as the villainous Captain Hook. To ensure the child actors on set would be scared of Hook, Lowery instructed Law not to reveal his true self until after filming. “David Lowery had the idea of really trying to encourage them not to see me when I wasn’t Hook,” Law said. “So I just stayed as Hook the whole time, which was an opportunity just to be really scary and mean. 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.
