Jeremy Irons didn`t want his son to act in films

Washington: Jeremy Irons` son Max, who will be seen in the upcoming film `The Host,` has revealed that his parents did not want him to take up acting as a career.

The 64-year-old `Margin Call` actor, who had a very luminous career on screen, wanted his son to stay away from the profession because they felt it was a "life of paranoia, financial instability and jealousy." But the 27-year-old Max was persistent and his parents finally gave in when they realised that he was serious enough. ANI
