Jude Law stars in the one of the hottest movies of the season, Sherlock Holmes, but he admits he didn't know anything about the movie, books, or his character until shooting started.

Jude plays the fictional English detective’s sidekick Dr. Watson in the movie but was completely clueless about the character created by Arthur Conan Doyle before agreeing to the role.

He said: “Yes, I'm English, but I never really read the ‘Sherlock’ books as a boy. This was a new literary discovery for me, but a great one because as an adult I was able to sit down and love the source material. Believe me when I say it's a good thing to grab a mug of tea and curl up with a great ‘Sherlock Holmes’ book."

Aside from the great script, Jude admits he was blown away by what a great job Guy Ritchie did with the movie.

He added, “The production designers did an amazing job embellishing historic England. The details were exquisite. I really felt as I had taken a time travel back into history."
