"Jude Law has joked that he is happy not to be considered a &amp;quot;pretty young thing&amp;quot; anymore. The Anna Karenina actor told T, The New York Times Style Magazine that he didn&amp;#039;t much enjoy his early stardom, but now looks back fondly on that time in his life.   (Pictured Above: Jude Law in 2004, left, and in 2012, right) &amp;quot;In a weird way, it&amp;#039;s kind of a relief to think, &amp;#039;Oh, I know I&amp;#039;m not that young sort of pretty thing anymore&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Law joked to the publication. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s quite nice talking about what it was like to be the young pretty thing, rather than being it.&amp;quot; Law went on to suggest that he&amp;#039;s become more confident in his acting abilities as he has grown older. &amp;quot;Without sounding too pretentious, it&amp;#039;s difficult to remember that it&amp;#039;s an art form and you are, maybe, an artist and you have to make decisions on that level,&amp;quot; the star explained.  He continued: &amp;quot;I feel kind of more confident, more settled as a human being, more settled in my own skin... [When you&amp;#039;re older] you are allowed to be an actor, and the parts you get are more interesting.&amp;quot; Law has several high profile acting projects lined up, including the drama Dom Hemingway and Wes Anderson&amp;#039;s Grand Budapest Hotel. His current movie Anna Karenina has been released in the US and the UK. Watch a trailer for the film below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
