Jude Law reads a letter from a father to his newborn son

[@mariannegeraud6318]

What a powerful way of taking full conscience of becoming a parent... what a better place the world would be if all children were loved and cherished like Daniel !!

[@gnostic268]

Jude's voice reading such heartfelt and loving words is perfection ❤️

[@rayjennings3637]

Sounds trite to say it but after thirteen years of waiting and many disappointments during that time, that was exactly how I felt when I finally held my own baby son, 37 years ago - and still do!

[@alansturgess1324]

The powerful, emotional words in this letter are truly done justice of their own by Jude's sensitive, strong, natural and perfectly judged reading. (I nearly wrote 'performance', but that would have been to denigrate both the letter and Jude).

[@Kitabikeedaa]

It'd be great if you guys could compile all these letters in a book and publish it. Would love a have a copy for myself.

"Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience" might be just the thing for you :)

[@rw8733]

I'd buy it.

I was thinking of my own father as I listened, and how much he loved me from the day I was born until his last breath. Thank you Dad, I wish I had had the courage and wisdom to come and see you, hold your hand, take you to our music, and hug you so very tight, forever. #FrankFreemanLee

A beautiful letter... Isn't Jude Law underrated?

[@rupkathachakravartty4981]

So utterly powerful in how filled with love every word in the letter is ❤️

Listening to this letter reminded me of my father and brought tears to my eyes. His was fiercely protective of his children without losing objectivity. The lessons he instilled in us are those for the ages, loyalty, honour, hard work and truth, things our leaders and politicians should aspire to but rarely achieve.

Who knew Jude Law was such a great multitasking genius! Cutting onions AND reading a letter with such emotion at the same time! Really though, just beautiful.

[@troublessavage]

So powerful. I'm gonna go hug my baby now 😭

[@kimsherlock8969]

Thankyou Jude , My heart understood hearing you read a truly beautiful timeless letter words for us all telling the love he felt. A lucky child 😍

[@mythal0620]

It's incredibly touching and true, and Jude Law reads the letter without overloading it with emotion and pathos - yet it seems to me as if it were his own letter. Marvellous. 💜

I am finally glad for algorithms delivering the unknown videos to me.... these Letters Live recordings have both lifted me, reminded me, awakened me and some yes some saddened me.... lest we forget, YES lest we forget (forget what really happened/happens is happening and is going to happen). Please dont forget...

[@panchovilla6320]

I've watched a number of these of late. This, by far, is my favorite.

How deep one feels the value of life when contrasted with life already destroyed.

[@carolinehaythornthwaite2965]

So beautiful, emotional and powerful.

[@sabinamammadova389]

Listened with tears in my eyes.

[@MsRoslet]

I remember hearing this originally read by Fergal on from Our Own Correspondent... several years later I got to ask him a question about it on the World Service. Such a persuasive writer.

[@ramandeepnijjar8281]

Such powerful words! WOW!

[@PompeyBoy66]

These letters are great. Thank you

[@zoecunningham3019]

Words, written down as perfect these with the heartfelt emotional love. The protective nature for safety, empathy felt of horrendous sights witnessed of others perilous end. Yes, written brilliantly bringing you the memories of past & hope for the future. Each generation steps on this road to travel with their new babe in loving arms.

It takes courage to give Life 🧸.

[@theressamurphy2996]

Believe me some of us do love our children❤

[@sackiteyderrick]

Oh such beautiful words!

[@OktoberStorm]

Holy shit, that was a verbal and vocal sledgehammer to the face!

[@scurryfunge9581]

Made my eyes water.

[@carolinecatona8728]

My tears are flowing

[@juliefarraway5016]

He's a father

[@scottsteele427]

Cant believe anyone disliked this

[@blueyestu7950]

Can we take a moment to marvel at the utter magnificence that is Jude Laws’ hair. He somehow has managed to make a receding hairline look perfect and paired with the messy, ‘just got out of bed’ look he can almost turn a straight man gay!

[@anerdwithglasses7429]

He definitely got that dad hair goin on :'D But beautiful all the same.

[@luciahoneybee]

My dad used to write letters like these to my brother. Last year he held him in his arms for the last time, as my brother drew his last breath, dying of cancer, aged 30. I would like to translate this letter for him (our mother tongue is Spanish). Can the transcript be found anywhere?
