DESCRIPTION

I can listen to Jeremy Irons forever! The voice of Scar in “The Lion King” (yes!) has a very commanding presence and stature and yes, a soothing voice. Plus, he’s a respected actor having won an Oscar in 1991 for “Reversal of Fortune.” In “Beautiful Creatures,” Irons stars as Macon Ravenwood, our heroine’s (Alice Englert as Lena Duchannes) mysterious uncle. No, he will not win an Oscar for the role, but he certainly adds gravitas to the project. In this interview, we talked about:

• What made him want to join the cast of “Beautiful Creatures”
• His character’s outfits are fantastic!
• The power of literature
• What attracted him to his character Macon?
• Like his character, does Irons like Google and technology?

Have fun!
