Standing on the red carpet for the premiere of Masters of the Air, Raff Law drew double-takes for looking so much like his famous father that some onlookers reportedly mistook him for a young Jude Law fresh off a time-travelling detour.
Rather than shy away from the comparison, Raff Law has spent his twenties methodically building a career across acting, modelling, and music that increasingly stands on its own merit, distinct from his parents’ considerable legacy in British entertainment.
Law is an English actor, model, and musician best known for playing the title role in the 2021 film Twist, a modern retelling of Oliver Twist, and for his performance as Sergeant Ken Lemmons in the acclaimed Apple TV+ World War II miniseries Masters of the Air, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
As the eldest son of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, he entered adulthood already familiar with the entertainment industry, yet has pursued his own path across runways, recording studios, and film sets.
His rise matters as part of a broader wave of second-generation British talent — including his own sister, model Iris Law — using inherited industry access as a starting point rather than a guarantee, building distinct public identities through consistent, visible work rather than name recognition alone.

Early Life
Rafferty “Raff” Jellicoe Frost Law was born on October 6, 1996, in Westminster, London, to actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost, one of the most prominent celebrity couples in 1990s Britain. He was raised primarily in London’s Primrose Hill neighborhood, an area closely associated with the British film, music, and fashion scenes, giving him early proximity to the creative industries his parents worked in. His parents divorced in 2003 when Raff was still a young child, and he has since spoken about maintaining close, supportive relationships with both parents, as well as with his extended blended family of siblings and half-siblings.
Law’s earliest exposure to performance came through school theatre. He appeared in his first play at just five or six years old, playing a role in a school production of Pinocchio, and later took on the role of Long John Silver in a school staging of Treasure Island. He has described his parents as consistently supportive of his and his siblings’ creative pursuits from those earliest performances onward.
Education
Law attended Bedales School in Hampshire, an independent school known for its strong emphasis on the arts, including drama, music, and design. The school’s creative curriculum gave him a formative grounding in performance and the arts well before he pursued acting and music professionally.
Career
Law’s screen career began early, with a small role in the 2010 science-fiction film Repo Men at the age of thirteen, though he did not pursue acting seriously again for several years afterward. In the interim, he built a career as a fashion model, signing with Select Model Management in 2014 and making his runway debut for DKNY Men the same year at eighteen years old. He went on to walk in major fashion weeks, including for Dolce & Gabbana during Milan Fashion Week, and appeared alongside fellow “star sons” Gabriel Day-Lewis and Brooklyn Beckham in Burberry’s Autumn/Winter 2016 show. His first magazine cover came in 2016 with L’Officiel Hommes Netherlands, and he has since modelled for brands including Brioni.
Alongside modelling, Law pursued music seriously, drawing on skills across piano, drums, bass, keyboard, and guitar. He first performed as vocalist and guitarist in a band called The Dirty Harrys with his close friend Marley, before later forming Outer Stella Overdrive with Kelvin Bueno, a collaborator introduced to him by his sister Iris. The band expanded to include keyboardist Amin El Makkawi and drummer Ruby Albarn, nephew of musician Damon Albarn. Outer Stella Overdrive released their debut single, “State Your Name,” in 2018, followed by their debut EP, Clout & Self Doubt, in 2021, blending punk, funk, and psychedelic influences. Law has also been involved in “Something to Hate On,” a creative collective and events initiative showcasing young London-based creatives, which he has described ambitions of developing into an independent record label.
Law’s acting career gained significant new momentum in 2020, when he appeared alongside his father in The Hat, a short film shot on an iPhone during COVID-19 lockdown, featuring a musical score by The Who’s Pete Townshend. The project, which raised money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America, marked the first time father and son had appeared on screen together, and it won the Spirit of the Festival Award at the Raindance Film Festival in November 2020.
His breakout leading role came in 2021, when he was cast as the title character in Twist, a modern-day reimagining of Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist, co-starring Michael Caine and Rita Ora. Taking on such a well-known literary figure in a high-profile adaptation introduced Law to international audiences as a leading man in his own right, and he has spoken about forming a close mentorship bond with Caine during filming, crediting the veteran actor with practical guidance on timing and emotional delivery.
In April 2021, Law was cast in the ensemble of Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air, a major World War II miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks as the third installment in the war drama series that began with Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Law played Sergeant Ken Lemmons, a dedicated ground crew chief responsible for maintaining B-17 bombers for the 100th Bomb Group, working alongside a large ensemble cast that included Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, and Barry Keoghan. The series, based on Donald L. Miller’s 2007 book of the same name, received strong critical praise for its historical scope and production values following its 2024 release, and Law’s grounded, naturalistic performance was noted by critics as providing emotional weight amid the series’s large-scale aerial action sequences.
Building on that visibility, Law has continued expanding his film career with roles including Taylor Redfellow in the thriller Huntington, directed by John Patton Ford and co-starring Glen Powell and Margaret Qualley, and Olos in the fantasy horror film Triton, directed by Janell Shirtcliff and shot in Greece opposite Freya Allan. He has also been cast in the upcoming series Kill Jackie, playing the role of Sean Harper, and has additional film credits including The King’s Daughter and Mogul Mowgli.

Personal Life
Raff Law has generally kept his romantic relationships out of the spotlight, a deliberate choice he has attributed to growing up amid the intense media scrutiny that surrounded his parents’ high-profile 2003 divorce. He was previously linked publicly to singer and actress Rita Ora, his co-star in Twist, following their work together on the film, though the pair were reported to have drifted apart after a few months. He has also been romantically linked in media reports to Ella Dallaglio and Molly Moorish, and has been photographed with partner Clementina Linieres.
Law remains close with both of his parents following their divorce, describing his father as his “best mate” and crediting both Jude Law and Sadie Frost with encouraging him and his siblings to pursue their individual creative passions without pressure to follow a specific path. He has spoken about trying not to compare himself to others, including his famous father, preferring instead to focus on his own individual creative choices. Outside of his professional pursuits, Law has interests in sketching, football, DJing, and motor racing.
Net Worth
Raff Law’s net worth has been estimated at approximately three million dollars, built through a combination of acting roles, fashion modelling contracts, brand partnerships, and his work as a musician. His income streams reflect the multi-hyphenate nature of his career, spanning major studio and streaming productions, runway and campaign modelling work for brands including Dolce & Gabbana and Brioni, and royalties and performance income tied to his music with Outer Stella Overdrive.

Conclusion
From school stages in Hampshire to a leading role in a major Dickens adaptation and a place in one of Apple TV+’s most ambitious war dramas, Raff Law has steadily built a body of work that increasingly speaks for itself.
His parallel pursuits in modelling and music further reflect a determination to define himself across multiple creative disciplines rather than settling into a single, easily categorized public identity.
As his film career continues to expand with roles in high-profile genre productions, Raff Law appears well positioned to keep stepping further out of his parents’ considerable shadow, building a body of work defined increasingly by his own choices rather than his famous surname.
