Jude Law ‘Finally Cool Dad Again’ Thanks to Spy Role

When thinking of ways to describe Jude Law, “uncool” might not be the first word that comes to mind.

Apparently, his children think differently.

“I am finally back in the good books — I’m finally cool dad again,” the actor, 42, tells PEOPLE at the New York City premiere of Spy, in which he costars alongside Melissa McCarthy.

What’s helped him earn back the title? His latest film.

“For a few movies they were like, ‘Uhh yeah that was okay, yeah that was good, uh, yeah yeah,’ ” the father of five jokes of his children’s reactions to his roles. “Now with this one it’s like, ‘Oh my God, you’re in a movie with 50 Cent and Melissa McCarthy, well done, man.’ ”

Law’s elder son, Rafferty, is now learning what it’s like to be in the spotlight as he enters the entertainment industry via catwalk. The 18-year-old is in a band called The Dirty Harrys — for which he writes all the songs — and has recently been modeling for designers like DKNY.

His dad doesn’t think he will be modeling forever, though. “For him, he’s an 18-year-old finishing his exams and getting offered some modeling jobs which he’s doing to get a bit of cash. I don’t think he takes it terribly seriously –I think he enjoys getting a bit of pocket money,” Law tells PEOPLE.

With their strikingly similar looks and career paths, his father admits he is a little bit worried about what’s to come.

“Only because I am aware of the pitfalls,” Law tells PEOPLE, recalling rocky moments in his own career.

So, like any experienced dad would do, Law is giving his son some pointers. “I’ve been giving him advice. Whether he listens to it or not, I just keep giving it,” the actor jokes. “Something will get in eventually!”

But at the end of the day, he’s a proud papa.

“I’m thrilled about his passion for music and I’m thrilled about his songwriting. I think if anyone can be passionate about anything, that’s a good first step. [Rafferty’s] also very realistic — he works hard. He’s a good boy and I love him. That’s all you can say.”
