“It’s actually been quite a long process because I found out and was originally going to get the service a few weeks ago,” Law, 51, told people at the ceremony on Thursday, December 12. “And actually, I lost my mother. So we had to postpone it.”
He added: “In a very strange way, as a kind of final gift, it meant that a few more of my family might actually be here. To be honest, the whole event was quite an emotional experience and obviously just a very personal occasion and really touching.’
The row star was joined on Thursday by his wife, Philippa Coanand his children Rafferty, 28, and Iris, 24. (In addition to Rafferty and Iris, Law also shares Rudy, 22, with ex-wife Sadie Frost; Sofia, 15, with an ex Samantha Burke; Ada, 9, with ex Katherine Harding; and two children with Koan.)

It’s clear that Jude Law and Journey Smollett are their biggest fans. “I was messing with you on set.” The duo are in the director’s chairs interviewing each other for Us Weekly’s first film In Conversation — and the man making the confession might surprise you.

Rafferty followed him ever since his father’s acting footsteps.
“It’s nice because we have similarities and we’re so close, so now that I’m older he can help me work on scripts and I can send him my music and he can say, ‘Yeah, that’s great,'” Rafferty said GQ Hype in 2021 “He’s just happy to see me grow into the young man he’s proud to call his son.”
He added: “My dad is my best friend; he and i have always been so close. Like any father and son, growing up I looked up to my father a lot.”
