Jude Law motivated by the fear of failing

OHMYGOSSIP — Jude Law is motivated by the fear of failure.
The ‘Spy’ star likes the “pressure” of not knowing how good a film is going to do as he feels it makes him a better actor.
He told Total Film magazine: “That pressure is quite what turns me on in a way.
“The fear of not getting something right and the feeling of exposing yourself is, because obviously it’s a public job, one of the thrills. It pushes and motivates me.”
However, that doesn’t stop the 43-year-old actor getting nervous on set.
He admitted previously: “I do get nervous, but I’ve realized that as I’ve gotten older, I hide my nerves more, and instead they will come out in odd ways.
“Instead of standing around perspiring or thinking ‘I can’t do this, I can’t do this’, it’s a more a modest sort of anxiety, expressed through being a bit fidgety, or through needing to engage with whoever’s working around you to divert your attention.
“You’re anxious because you want to be good … So that usually raises your attention to detail and your commitment, which is a good thing.”
Meanwhile, Jude recently revealed why he turned down the role of ‘Superman’ in 2006’s ‘Superman Returns’.
He said: “This was a while ago. So, you remember they were rebooting, they rebooted ‘Superman’, not this last time with Henry Cavill. They did it once before … So, I was approached and at the time, I don’t know, it just didn’t float my boat. I just didn’t really want to go there. I’m an Englishman! I felt like it just didn’t seem to fit …
“I was always worried about the outfit. I just didn’t fancy it. I take the suit into the bathroom and I’m putting it on and then I look round and I’m in the mirror and then suddenly I’m Superman right? Then I have this picture of me in that costume in posters all around the world and I was like, ‘No way.’ And I unzipped it. I was Superman for two minutes. That’s enough.”
