Early life


Irons was born in Camden, London,[3] on 17 October 1985,[4][5] the son of English actor Jeremy Irons and Irish actress Sinéad Cusack.[6] He is the grandson of actors Cyril Cusack and Maureen Cusack.[7] His brother, Samuel Irons, is a photographer. Through his mother, he is a half-brother of politician Richard Boyd Barrett; his aunts are the actresses Niamh Cusack and Sorcha Cusack, and his uncle is theatre producer Pádraig Cusack. Irons attended the Dragon School in Oxford,[8] then Bryanston School in Dorset (from which he was soon expelled after being caught by a teacher having sex),[9] and graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008.[10] He suffered from dyslexia through his school years, and his father discouraged him from going into an acting career.[11] While first starting off in acting, Irons worked as a barman.[12]
