Jude Law’s son Rafferty has hit the red carpet in London looking exactly like his famous dad.

The 27-year-old actor, whose mother is Sadie Frost, looked dapper in a three-piece black pinstripe suit as he posed for photographers ahead of the premiere of Masters of the Air, in which he appears as Sgt. Ken Lemmons.

The nine-episode series, which is set during World War II, also stars Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner and Austin Butler.

It tells the story of an Air Force squad battling against the forces of Nazi Germany.

Production began on Masters Of The Air in England back in 2021, but was hit with several delays due to complications during the pandemic.

Rafferty is the eldest of three children born to Law and Frost, who were married between 1997 and 2005. His two siblings are Iris, 23, and Rudy, 21.

Law also shares Sophia, 13, with ex-girlfriend Samantha Burke, daughter Ada, 8, with Catherine Harding, and two other young children – whose names have not yet been revealed publicly – with wife Phillipa Coan.

In 2021, Rafferty opened up about his famous parents’ reaction to his move into acting.

“I don’t think they felt strongly either way,” he told GQ Hype.

“They’ve been watching me in school plays since I was 5 and it’s always been something I’ve loved doing, as well as music and writing, so they’ve been very supportive of me and my siblings following our passions and dreams. For them, if you work hard at something, the rewards pay off.”

Rafferty added that it was a “credit” to his high-profile parents that he and his siblings were never too aware of their fame, and that they were simply “always there for us, just as our parents.”

He also spoke candidly about the inevitable comparisons between himself and his father.

“I’m someone who really tries not to compare themselves to anyone else. I really try and ‘do me’. My dad’s my best mate; he and I have always been so close,” Rafferty told the publication.

“Like any father and son, growing up I looked up to my dad a lot. I’ve always liked the way he dresses – he loves trainers, so that got me into trainers from a young age. He likes good music and that got me into the same.”
