Jude Law. Jude Law claims he's been let down by a lot of people. EPA/DANIEL DEMEThe actor - who has three children, Rafferty, 12, Iris, eight and six-year-old Rudy, with ex-wife Sadie Frost - finds it hard to trust people because of the way he has been treated.Speaking about William Shakespeare's Hamlet - the tragic character he is portraying in a new London theatre production - Jude said: "We've just been rehearsing the scene when Hamlet meets Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and it's all about defining who you can and can't trust. "I'm a lot more cynical now than I was. I used to have optimism and the belief that people would usually do the right thing, and that has been somewhat tainted by experience, which I think mirrors Hamlet's journey. He's let down by people."Jude admits he was worried about taking on the legendary role of Hamlet but found the courage to accept the opportunity.The 36-year-old star said: "It's a part I have always wanted to play. I admire and love the play, and have seen many productions of it. And I needed to think about doing it soon because of my age. I'm not 22 any more."Every job is a little daunting. This is a little more daunting than the others. But when you stop and consider the beauty and brilliance of the play, it's a no-brainer. It's like, God, I've been asked - I'm going to do it."
