Jude Law publicly apologized to his fiancee, actress Sienna Miller, expressing his "sincere regret" over an affair with one of his children's nanny.
"Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," the 32-year-old actor said in a statement Monday to the British Press Association.
"I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused," said Law, star of "Alfie" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" films.
The publicity firm that represents Miller told The Associated Press the 23-year-old actress had no comment on Law's statement.
Miller was Law's co-star in the remake of "Alfie." The couple became engaged on Christmas Day 2004.
The nanny was identified as Daisy Wright, 26.
Law divorced fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost in October 2003 after a six-year marriage and three children.
The actor earned Oscar nominations for his roles in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain." His screen credits also include "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,""Closer" and "The Aviator," all released in 2004.
What a lousy movie. Why did they remake it?
Is his wife be running for Senator?
Because the original had Michael Caine?
Driving Miss Daisy.
Jude Law is a better actor than Michael Caine?...Get back to me if Jude is still in movies four decades from now.
Oh, that was a bad one....
Funny movie!
Contrite? I don't think so...
I wasn't refering to acting.. I like Michael Caine. It was about looks...
He doesn't have a very good "vow keeping" track record.
If I was his fiance', I'd RUN for the hills!
he (michael caine) plays nicole kidman's dad in Bewitched also, and does a bang up job of it.
Supposedly, one of his children caught him in bed with the nanny.
Michael Caine can be pretty good. But he has played in some extremely trashy movies also. Such as "Alfie" and the oh-so-terrible "Cider House Rules". Yuk.
At the time it was originally made, brazen cads like Alfie were a relatively new phenomenon and the breaking-the-fourth-wall narrative strategy was considered a sylistic departure.
And the feminist left hated Alfie because it showed how abortion better serves lecherous men than anxious women - net/net not a bad film.
It was remade because anything that was ever a hit is being remade.
...for the nanny? He wins the "Stupid" award.
What on earth was he thinking?
I was wondering how they treated the abortion issue in the new "Alfie" or if they ignored it altogether.
