Maximilian Paul Diarmuid "Max" Irons is an English film actor and model. He is perhaps most noted for his leading role in Red Riding Hood.
Irons was born in Camden, London and is the son of Irish actress Sinead Cusack and English actor Jeremy Irons, and the grandson of Irish actor Cyril Cusack. He attended the Dragon School in Oxford and graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008. Irons also suffered from dyslexia through his school years and his father discouraged him from going into an acting career.
Irons has modelled for companies including Burberry and Mango. He was voted number 2 out of 10 Best New Actors In Hollywood Revealed by the News Junky Journal in 2011, partly due to this role.
The problem with Hollywood is that, for actors of my age, you don't really have plenty of choices. You have to wait until you are 30, 40. Even if The Host looks like Red Riding Hood, it's a movie which is gonna do well, which means more work for me.
