Furthermore, as Jude Law thanked his family, his wife, Phillipa Coan, and two of his seven kids, Rafferty and Iris were seen clapping for their father.

Jude Law’s eldest son, Rafferty also wishes to pursue acting: More about the actor’s kids explored
While Jude Law prefers to keep his younger kids out of the public eye, his eldest kid, Raff wishes to follow in the footsteps of his father and venture into acting. He also spoke to GQ Hype in 2021 and stated:
"I don't think they felt strongly either way. They've been watching me in school plays since I was 5 and it's always been something I've loved doing, as well as music and writing, so they've been very supportive of me and my siblings following our passions and dreams. For them, if you work hard at something, the rewards pay off."
It is worth noting that Raff made his debut in the 2021 feature film, Twist, and was recently seen in the Apple TV+ series, Masters of the Air.
