J: [smiles] I either turn into my parents, or I turn into my kids [Jay laughs], d�you know what I mean? Either I�m the one climbing a tree and they�re all saying [he looks up and throws his hands in air] �Come on, get down, it�s dangerous�� [audience laughs]. Or I�m, uh� I�m absolutely turning into my parents, yeah. I mean, that�s the awful thing, I think. You suddenly realize how right they were� you know, when you�re like [gestures towards himself as if talking to someone else] �Come back from the television!� or �Eat your carrots�, you suddenly think [whispers and acts as though he�s just had a huge epiphany] �Oh God, yeah! Damn, they were right!� [audience laughs]
L: Yeah. Alright look, we�ll take a little break. More with Jude Law right after this, we�ll be right back.
[The audience applauds and cheers and the Tonight Show band starts to play as the camera slowly zooms out of a close-up of Jude and Jay talking privately�FADE TO COMMERCIAL]
PART #2 � Transcribed by Jen G.
L: Welcome back, talking with Jude Law [a girl in the audience screams "love you, Jude!" to which he smiles]. You've got three kids; two boys and a girl.
J: Yes.
L: Are you more protective of the girl, do you think?
J: Um... I don't really have to be.
L: No?
J: She rules the roost.
L: Oh really?
J: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always the 8-year-old who's coming up like, [puts a hand to his mouth], "she hit me!"
L: [laughs]
J: You know..."am I bleeding?" And then she protects the little one, so she's, she's...she's in charge.
J: I don't even want to think about it.
L: Well, that's interesting. Well, how old were you when you first...
J: I don't even want to think about that.
L: When you first discovered girls yourself, how old were you? When you first went, "hey, this looks like it could... work, hmm..." [audience laughs]
J: Uhh... [Jude scrunches up his face and looks coyly into the audience. Smiling, he pauses to think] 12... 13, I dunno.
J: Yeah. The natural age!
L: The natural age! The natural age...
J: [laughs]
L: Uh, 'cause you've always been acting. You've been acting since you were a child. And this, is nothing...
J: Yeah, I wasn't, kind of, a child actor... but I was in a theatre company. When I was around the same age.
L: Right, okay.
J: 11, 12...and then one of the two things happened at the same time.
?L: Mmm hmm...
J: But, um...yeah, about 12, 13... and then, and then I did a TV job, which was on TV. At about 16, 17... or...
L: Would you get harassed for being into acting at 11 or 12? 'Cause that's the kinda age kids sort of...
J: It was a little... I dunno... I mean, I think having a name like Jude, in Southeast London, and being interested in acting and... liking girls got me in certain amounts of trouble...
L: Right.
J: ...with the boys at school...
L: Right, right.
J: ...with the rougher elements [laughs].
L: Did you ever get beat up or anything like that?
J: Yeah! Sure...
L: Really?
