Law admits Sherlock Holmes doubts

Jude Law had second thoughts about starring in the new Sherlock Holmes film.

The Cold Mountain star plays Dr Watson in Guy Ritchie's take on the famed fictional detective. However, he admits that he had some doubts about the project.

Law said, "I met Robert Downey Jr and wanted to work with him and so I said I'd do Sherlock Holmes. Two days later I thought, 'What am I doing? This is insane, because is it really what I want to do?

"Luckily, it evolved into a wonderful experience."

Law also reserved praise for the film's director, adding, "I thought it was a clever twist to take a man known for his modern, punchy almost street films and apply to him the almost staid legacy."

Sherlock Holmes is released on December 26.
