Max Irons

Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.

I mean, it's fine when you're a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes, 'I've got this great game of pretend,' and you play... As an actor, getting to play, getting to use your imagination and be childish - it is weird but it's wonderful.

I can see why there's a misconception that it's easier when your parents are actors, but it doesn't work out at all. In fact, it's the reverse.

It's a mistake to dwell too much on the consequences of a piece of work that you're making.
