Jeremy Irons was one of the first 'older' actors I noticed. By 'older', I mean after the stage we all go through when we like people like Leonardo diCaprio and young girly people like that. I'd always kind of admired Jeremy Irons after my parents told me it was he who did the voice of Scar in The Lion King. And then I saw him in The Man in the Iron Mask, but didn't really twig, and it was only after I started to like Alan Rickman that I thought that perhaps Jeremy Irons could be attractive too. Perhaps?? He's one of the most attractive men on the planet. The voice, the looks, the acting! Not only is he gorgeous, he's a fabulous actor - you can know what he's thinking, or what the character's thinking, just by the turn of his head, the sound of his voice, all that. Yum. But I suppose we'd better get on. Here are the pictures I have of Jeremy Irons. The lovely guy.

	Here he is in The Man in the Iron Mask as the priest Aramis. He has a wonderful line in this film: Athos: What gives you the right to judge me, to play God with the lives of others? Is it because you're so much holier than anyone else? Aramis: Well yes, but also because I'm more intelligent than anyone else. Isn't it brilliant? So wonderfully ... oh, I don't know. Anyway, on with the pictures.
	Here is a closeup of Aramis which I think shows how worried he is throughout most of the film, despite the rather dry humour. It also shows him as rather more vulnerable, perhaps lonely? I haven't read the book, but the character of Aramis is not developed much in the film at all, so we are left to wonder and imagine rather a lot.
	Here's Jeremy in Die Hard with a Vengeance. These films have rather awful plots, but good action and some good lines. I can't stand Bruce Willis, but here Irons plays Simon Gruber, the brother of Hans Gruber, the man played by Alan Rickman whom Willis threw out of a skyscraper in the first film Die Hard. But Irons is clever, despite the terrible German accent, suave, which Bruce Willis is most definitely not, and funny. A very likeable, if rather evil, character. And he gets to have a little fun just before he dies (watch the film and you'll see what I mean!).
	This has got to be one of my favourite pictures of Jeremy Irons. I think it's posed, a publicity thing, but he's quite a lot younger here than in many of my other photos of him, and you can really see the hard jawline and those sharp brown eyes. The hair isn't half bad, either!
	I don't know where this one is from, but he's really rather nice in this photo. Sort of ... worn, and 'haggard' as Anna said. Lovely.
	Another posed photo, I think - but doesn't he look so rough and rugged? He does smoke, has done since he was fifteen, but if that's what's given him the lovely voice then I'm all for it!
	And no, this isn't my signed photo. I wish. But I don't actually know if I like the photo that much. Not one of his best, I think.
	Aww. Happy Jeremy. How lovely. Actually when I saw him on Graham Norton he did have a lovely smile, and a wonderful sense of humour. Nice teeth to flash at people! Like his wife, grr...
	I think this is from a film where he plays two twins. Or it could be a schizophrenic man. I can't quite remember. I haven't seen it, anyway. I just like the suit!
	This one looks to be out of a magazine or something - there's like a quote from him on the right side of it which I can't actaully read. But the photo shows off his nice toned arms wonderfully!
