The film also made headlines this summer when news outlets revealed that co-star Jude Law cheated on his girlfriend with his children's nanny while filming in New Orleans. Incidentally, Law's co-star, Sean Penn, also came to Law's defense during this year's Oscar telecast. In his opening monologue, host Chris Rock criticized Law's star power, and later in the show, Penn called Law "one of our finest actors."
