Actor Jude Law has claimed that he has never taken drugs, even prescription ones.
The 40-year-old actor, who will be seen playing a psychiatrist in Steven Soderbergh's thriller 'Side Effects', said he never even takes headache tablets because his mother had banned them since his childhood, reported Contactmusic.
"I grew up in a family where I didn't even get headache tablets. My mother wasn't a health freak, but she had strong principles. In the 70s, that was just becoming popular: we shouldn't eat this and that, or not watch TV that much. And a dislike of painkillers and pills was a part of it," Jude said.
The 'Cold Mountain' star said that he is glad that he never had to resort to drugs because of his upbringing.
"My family mainly had this martyr-like north English attitude: don't complain, it will be fine. If you are cold, put a pullover on. And if you hurt yourself, just get up again.
"I just have no relation to medicine and until now, I have been lucky not to need them for emotional or psychological reasons - fingers crossed!," he said.
