Jeremy Irons Trivia |

Jeremy Irons: What a camera likes are eyes which have life and tell a story. | Jeremy Irons: Basically, I want to keep working, so I don't worry about the size of the character - if it's interesting, I'll do it. It's quite nice doing smaller roles, in some ways. It means I get home more, and I can get on with my life. | Jeremy Irons: Anyway, I'm never satisfied. I think were I ever satisfied with my work, I'd be in trouble. | Jeremy & Sinead have two sons together, Samuel (b. 16 September 1978) and Maximilian (b. 17 Oct 1985). | At the 1990 Oscars, Jeremy concluded his acceptance speech for best actor in Reversal of Fortune (1990) by thanking "David". The "David" was David Cronenberg, who directed Irons the previous year in Dead Ringers (1988) | Jeremy was a member of jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. | Jeremy won Broadway's 1984 Tony Award as Best Actor (Play) for Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing. | Jeremy narrated the "Spaceship Earth" attraction in Epcot Center. | Jeremy has twice played characters with the same first and last name.

(2002) (Valentin Valentin). | Jeremy is very politically active, especially in County Cork, Ireland where he has a home. |
