Sadie Frost was surprised when Jude Law took legal action against her autobiography.

The 45-year-old star had discussed the contents of 'Crazy Days' with her former spouse and was amazed when he went to drastic lengths to have various details of their six-year marriage - which ended in 2003 - removed from the tome.

She said: "Jude had read some of the book, we'd discussed it, he'd been supportive of me writing it the whole way along.

"There were some things where he said, 'You know what Sadie, maybe you don't need to go into depth there,' and I listened to him. There were a couple of things.

"I didn't think it would get that far. I thought we were resolving it through normal communication. But I think we were both nervous of what the other person thought."

Despite Jude's legal action, Sadie - who has children Rafferty, 13, Iris, nine and seven-year-old Rudy -with the actor, as well as son Finlay, 19, with first spouse Gary Kemp - insists there is no tension between them.

She told Grazia magazine: "We were talking on the phone day and night about what the children were eating and what they were doing for their summer holidays while this was going on.

"They were two completely separate issues. If he was trying to injunct me because he hated the whole thing, that would have been different, but it wasn't like that.

"I listened to his points and we changed them and they were very minor."
