Jude Law became 'obsessive' for role as Vladimir Putin

VENICE - British actor Jude Law on Aug 31 said he became an "obsessive" watcher of Mr Vladimir Putin as he prepared for his role as the Russian leader in his new film, The Wizard Of The Kremlin. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

Law, 52, bears an uncanny resemblance to Mr Putin, aping his scowl and distinctive walking style in the film by French director Olivier Assayas, which charts the rise of the former intelligence officer.
