Jude Law embraced 'stinky method' for new movie about King Henry VIII

Jude Law took an interesting approach when it came to playing Henry VIII in his latest film, explaining he wore a perfume that smelled like feces and blood.

In the movie, Law portrays Henry VIII in the final few months of his rule over England, and follows the conflicts between him and his wife, Katherine Parr, played by Alicia Vikander, during that time. Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital. 

When speaking to People, he explained filmmaker Karim Aïnouz, "creates what [he] call[s] a 360-degree environment to acting," which allows the actors to feel completely immersed in the "world" of the film. He went on to say "the scent was a big part of" that world-building, and that he wanted everything "to smell and feel real."
