Jude Law reads a letter from a father to his newborn son
Ойын-сауық
The son of an Irish actor, Fergal Keane began his career in journalism straight out of school at age 18. Within 10 years he was a correspondent for the BBC, first in Northern Ireland and then in South Africa and Asia, winning numerous awards for his war dispatches as well as his books and other works. He read his Letter to Daniel on the BBC 4 radio program From Our Own Correspondent shortly after his son’s birth. Despite concerns his deeply personal missive was inappropriately emotional for the staid BBC, it was an immediate hit with the listening audience and earned Keane two additional awards. In later years Keane faced his own battles with alcohol and credits the love of his family for saving him from his father’s fate.
Jude Law read this incredible letter at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2019.

What a powerful way of taking full conscience of becoming a parent... what a better place the world would be if all children were loved and cherished like Daniel !!
Sounds trite to say it but after thirteen years of waiting and many disappointments during that time, that was exactly how I felt when I finally held my own baby son, 37 years ago - and still do!
Jude's voice reading such heartfelt and loving words is perfection ❤️
The powerful, emotional words in this letter are truly done justice of their own by Jude's sensitive, strong, natural and perfectly judged reading. (I nearly wrote 'performance', but that would have been to denigrate both the letter and Jude).
I was thinking of my own father as I listened, and how much he loved me from the day I was born until his last breath. Thank you Dad, I wish I had had the courage and wisdom to come and see you, hold your hand, take you to our music, and hug you so very tight, forever. #FrankFreemanLee
It'd be great if you guys could compile all these letters in a book and publish it. Would love a have a copy for myself.

I'd buy it.
Listening to this letter reminded me of my father and brought tears to my eyes. His was fiercely protective of his children without losing objectivity. The lessons he instilled in us are those for the ages, loyalty, honour, hard work and truth, things our leaders and politicians should aspire to but rarely achieve.
So utterly powerful in how filled with love every word in the letter is ❤️

A beautiful letter... Isn't Jude Law underrated?
Thankyou Jude , My heart understood hearing you read a truly beautiful timeless letter words for us all telling the love he felt. A lucky child 😍
Who knew Jude Law was such a great multitasking genius! Cutting onions AND reading a letter with such emotion at the same time! Really though, just beautiful.
So powerful. I'm gonna go hug my baby now 😭
I've watched a number of these of late. This, by far, is my favorite.
How deep one feels the value of life when contrasted with life already destroyed.
I am finally glad for algorithms delivering the unknown videos to me.... these Letters Live recordings have both lifted me, reminded me, awakened me and some yes some saddened me.... lest we forget, YES lest we forget (forget what really happened/happens is happening and is going to happen). Please dont forget...
Such powerful words! WOW!
I remember hearing this originally read by Fergal on from Our Own Correspondent... several years later I got to ask him a question about it on the World Service. Such a persuasive writer.
Listened with tears in my eyes.
So beautiful, emotional and powerful.
It takes courage to give Life 🧸.
These letters are great. Thank you
Words, written down as perfect these with the heartfelt emotional love. The protective nature for safety, empathy felt of horrendous sights witnessed of others perilous end. Yes, written brilliantly bringing you the memories of past & hope for the future. Each generation steps on this road to travel with their new babe in loving arms.
Holy shit, that was a verbal and vocal sledgehammer to the face!
My dad used to write letters like these to my brother. Last year he held him in his arms for the last time, as my brother drew his last breath, dying of cancer, aged 30. I would like to translate this letter for him (our mother tongue is Spanish). Can the transcript be found anywhere?
My tears are flowing
He definitely got that dad hair goin on :'D But beautiful all the same.
Oh such beautiful words!
Cant believe anyone disliked this
Made my eyes water.
Believe me some of us do love our children❤
He's a father
WOW made me tear up
No words❤
Simply perfect.
Absolutely lovely 😍
Can we take a moment to marvel at the utter magnificence that is Jude Laws’ hair. He somehow has managed to make a receding hairline look perfect and paired with the messy, ‘just got out of bed’ look he can almost turn a straight man gay!
Waw!
Thank you algorithm
