Press had ‘unhealthy’ interest in Law’s life

Actor Jude Law has told a jury that the media had “an unhealthy amount of information” about his life and that packs of photo- graphers would follow him around even when he made secret arrangements.

Giving evidence at the phone-hacking trial at the Old Bailey, the 41-year-old Alfie star described how press attention began to intensify when he was nominated for an Oscar for The Talented Mr Ripley in 2001.

It grew throughout his divorce from Sadie Frost and then during his relationship with actress Sienna Miller, he told the court.
