Jude Law flashes his bum in new TV drama The Young Pope
HUNKY Jude Law proves he still has it - by flashing his bum cheeks in new TV drama The Young Pope.
The 43-year-old actor is starring in the new television drama as a fictional American pontiff - and has been causing a buzz about the amount of 'sexiness' he is bringing to the table.
Jude's character Lenny Belardo is the newly-appointed chain-smoking pontiff Pius XIII, a controversial holy man who struggles with celibacy.
The sexy actor becomes the youngest pope aged 47 and the first ever American.
The first episode sees him flashing back to seeing a topless beauty - played by actress Olivia Macklin.
There’s been speculation about a backlash to the show, but director Paolo Sorrentino insists Law’s character is fictional.
“The Pope we depicted is diametrically opposed to the existing Pope,” he says.
The Alfie star recently appeared on the Graham Norton Show and admitted it was hard growing up with a 'girl's' name in London - although he was originally named David by his parents.
He said: "It’s not the easiest name to grow up with in South East London to be really honest – a blond annoying little boy wanting to be an actor called Jude."
Of his part in the new show, he said: "It was great to have a part to sink my teeth into – huge great speeches and a chance to speak Latin."
