Jude Law said he was told on-set that a pandemic was a 'matter of when, not if'

While a guest on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Jude Law looked back on starring in "Contagion."

He said the biggest thing he remembers from making the movie were the on-set consultants saying a pandemic will happen one day.

Law is also shocked by how many people watched the movie in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.

"On that film were the doctors and virologists advising us, extraordinary men, and they were all saying to us this is a matter of when, not if," Law said of a potential pandemic. "I remember leaving the whole experience thinking you touch yourself on your face 10,000 times a day, we don't wash our hands, it was all embedded in me. But it all slowly percolates away."

“I found it a little odd that everyone went back to watch that in the middle of the real thing," Law said of "Contagion" becoming one of the most popular movies to stream at the beginning of the pandemic.
