Jude Law shows off new girlfriend, chest hair

Jude Law stepped out with reported new girlfriend Ruth Wilson, his co-star last year in the Eugene O’Neill play “Anna Christie,” yesterday in Venice Beach, California.

The two former co-stars, who wrapped their play in October, made their first public appearance just two days after The Daily Mail first reported that they were romantically involved. The pair kept their distance as they walked down the street. Both were dressed casually: Law wore an Adidas jacket with the zipper pulled down to reveal a tuft of chest hair. Wilson, meantime, wore a grey sweater and a floppy hat. Both sported Converse sneakers.

Wilson and Law were first spotted kissing last week at London’s Groucho Club.

“They were quite enamored with each other,” a source told the paper. “They were very tactile and seemed an item. They were kissing, and not worried about who saw them.”

Law and Wilson met last year, while starring in “Anna Christie” together at the Donmar Warehouse in London. The play’s director, Rob Ashford, told The New York Times in December that the production was hoping for a run on Broadway, dependent on scheduling.

During the play’s initial run, Wilson gushed about Law, saying, “He instantly disarms you because he’s so generous and open.”

Law split with Sienna Miller a year ago, after the two had rekindled their romance three years after a broken engagement. Their breakup followed Law’s admission that he had cheated on Miller with the babysitter who cared for his two children with former wife Sadie Frost.

In 2009, Law added another child to his brood, fathering a baby with reported fling Samantha Burke.
