PREPARING to head out to Afghanistan to help film the documentary The Day After Peace, Hollywood actor Jude Law got more than he bargained for when he found himself in a hostage situation.

Jude, who joined film-maker and campaigner Jeremy Gilley in the war-torn country, was shocked to discover that he would have to go through a rigorous security test.

“The biggest realisation for me came in England before we left for Afghanistan when I was made to do the United Nations security test,” revealed the 35-year-old star of films such as The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain at the documentary’s premiere in Cannes.

“That was quite an eye-opener because we had to go through a mock kidnap and hostage profile including being broken down under interrogation. That really raised my eyebrows.

“After that, the next big moment for me was when we arrived in Afghanistan and I could sense where the front line was.”
