Max Irons Wiki/Bio
Maximilian Paul Diarmuid Irons was born on October 17th, 1985, in Camden, London. His mother Sinéad Cusack and father Jeremy Irons are well known names in the film industry. In fact, Irons hails from a true show business family. His maternal grandparents Cyril Cusack and Maureen Cusack are popular actors.
Also, his maternal aunties Niamh Cusack, Sorcha Cusack are both actresses while his maternal uncle Pádraig Cusack is a theater producer. Max’s brother Samuel Irons is a well known photographer while his maternal half-brother, Richard Boyd Barrett, an Irish Trotskyist politician.
Hailing from a family with rich acting history, one would assume that Irons would’ve immediately opted for an acting career, but that wasn’t the case. Irons himself revealed that he had initially not considered pursuing an acting career citing that he didn’t like the fact that acting was the reason why his parents were always away. Also, Irons suffered from dyslexia as a child which made his initial attempt at school plays very difficult. As a result, his own actor father discouraged him from show business.
However, it was when Max was 16 years old that he made up his mind that acting was his destiny. It all began when a charity weekend in school presented him with an opportunity to do something to raise money to benefit a Nepalese charity. Max performed a one act play by Neil LaBute called “A Gaggle of Saints.”
As the director of the play, Max was able to act the way he wanted and approach the play in his own style. Doing this, Max realised that it eliminated the tensity he got from acting under the command of other directors. His new experience made him become highly enthusiastic about acting. As a result, he attended Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 2008.
While in the music/drama school, Irons began his acting career in 2004, making his debut in comedy-drama film, Being Julia. At the early stage of his acting career, Irons supported himself by working as a barman, and as a coffee boy.
Irons appeared in a couple of other movies before landing his first major role in 2011’s Red Riding Hood with Amanda Seyfried. Luckily for Irons, his bar-tending days didn’t last too long. Max then landed other huge roles in The Host (2013), BBC One, TV series The White Queen, and The Riot Club, (2014).
In April of 2017, Max was selected to play a role created by the legendary Robert Redford in the television series, Three Days of the Condor, based on a movie of the same name.
Max Irons has also done quite well as a model, representing brands like Mango, Burberry and Macy’s. He was named among GQ’s Best-dressed British Men of 2015.
