Jude Law Recites "Poker Face" for Jimmy Fallon

Jude Law, who is currently starring as Hamlet on Broadway, appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to deliver a dramatic reading of lyrics from Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" (and also teach Jimmy some "Shakespearean dueling"). Enjoy:

We think James Lipton set the standard for "ironic readings of stupid pop sings as high art" with his recital of Kevin Federline's "PopoZao" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien a few years ago, but we have to admit that Law's smoldering delivery makes us more excited for Hamlet than we were yesterday.

Watch Lipton perform "PopoZao" below to compare for yourself:
