“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. And, yeah, a lot of the reactions you see in the film are their reactions to me for the first time, or as the man himself, you know?”

Director David Lowery’s inner child remains intact and in sprightly condition with “Peter Pan & Wendy,” the filmmaker’s latest soulful live-action remake for Disney. Lowery blew some minds years ago when he made “Pete’s Dragon,” losing very few of the instincts that have made him a viable indie filmmaker with the considerably more challenging films like “A Ghost Story” and “The Green Knight.” His overall fascination with storytelling and the revealing nature of time finds a warm home in the J.M.
