Jeremy Irons has kept busy but is still enjoying himself

AT 67, and with over 45 years in the industry, Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons has paid his dues. “I don’t want to work very much any more. I’ve done most things and I don’t really need to work,” states the actor, 67.

But for he who maintains “I like to spend more time NOT working”, 2016 is a contradiction of sorts.

Not only has the veteran actor recently opened A Long Day’s Journey Into Night at the Bristol Old Vic to critical acclaim, he can also be spotted on the big screen — both in High-Rise and in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice (Irons’ first blockbuster in 20 years).
