Jude Law has the talent, the accent and the good looks but the actor admits he doesn't mind being known just for his talent instead of his looks.

"In a weird way, it’s kind of a relief to think, ‘Oh, I know I’m not that young sort of pretty thing anymore.’ It’s quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it," the soon-to-be 40-year-old Law told New York Times Style magazine, T.

Law's current movie is Anna Karenina with Keira Knightley, who plays his wife. But fans won't be seeing the typical sexiness most are used to seeing from him. E! News even reported director Joe Wright had to stop Law from "doing his handsome face."

"It seemed to go against everything I have done, and it was fun to investigate the sides of a man that I hadn't done before in any way, shape or form," Law explained.

Anna Karenina is playing now in limited theaters in the United States.
