Jude Law, who is set to play the younger verison of Dumbledore in the upcoming sequel to 2016's Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, went directly to J.K. Rowling in order to prepare himself for the iconic role.
Meeting for a quick interview with Entertainment Tonight's Carly Steel at the 2018 Golden Globes, Law revealed that he sat with Rowling to discuss what she would like to see in the younger verison of the famous wizard.
“Do you know what I did? I sat in a room for an afternoon with J.K. Rowling, and I listened to her extraordinary words of wisdom,” Law says.
“She was kind enough to share with me the whole backstory and her future hopes for this young character of Dumbledore and really that set me on the path. I just did what the writer said.”
