Jude Finds Peace In "Cold"

Cold Mountain star Jude Law has revealed that he found "peace of mind" while making the film in Romania.

Arriving in London's Leicester Square with co-star Nicole Kidman, Law, 30, said: "The lifestyle they live had a strange influence on what we were creating, and it gave you a lot of time to think.

"Downtime was spent going out for walks and climbing trees, and you suddenly found you had peace of mind."

Banks of photographers and thousands of fans greeted the pair as they turned up for the European debut of the Oscar-tipped film.

They met the Prince of Wales before the screening, and were then due to attend a glittering after-show party at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

A host of other stars also attended, including David Baddiel, film boss Harvey Weinstein, Little Britain star David Walliams, Jude Law's girlfriend actress Sienna Miller and co-star Ray Winstone.

The film's director Anthony Minghella, Tory MP Michael Ancram, and Law's former partner Sadie Frost's sister Holly, also walked up the red carpet to see the film.

The story is set during the American Civil War. Law stars as Inman, a wounded confederate soldier struggling to make his way home to his lover Ada, who is played by Kidman.

Renee Zellweger also stars in the movie, but did not attend the screening.

Asked by reporters whether she still believes in romance, Kidman, 36, wearing a cream Chanel suit, said: "Of course I believe in romance. If you give up on that, what's the point?

"My parents celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in 10 days, and that gives me something to aspire to."
