The Irons' Hot!
Move over Rob, step aside Eddie and ta-ta Tom; there's a new boy crush in town and he's so super-mega hot we're basically fanning the flames of eternal passion here at GLAMOUR.com. Ladies, say hello to Max Irons.
Here at GLAMOUR, we're getting just a teeny-weeny bit obsessed with rising Brit star, Max Irons. After hotting up our Sunday nights as King Edward the PHWOAR-th in the BBC's The White Queen last year and starring in this year's hottest Brit flick The Riot Club – we run down exactly why we would like to have this man’s babies.
Have you SEEN The Riot Club? Well, c'mon he's super hot, there's that scene and oh yeah, he's like the only good guy in it, too.
We went to the cinema, like, 12 times to watch The Host just so we could see Max in action.*
*This is a fib. Regular trips to our local cinema would be tantamount to bankruptcy, but if we could have gone to see The Host this many times, we would have.
Rex FeaturesWe love a good dynasty. The son of Brideshead Revisited star Jeremy Irons and theatre actress Sinead Cusack, Max comes from good acting stock.
PORTOBELLO PRODUCTIONS / THE KOBAL COLLECTIONHis older brother Sam – now a photographer – even played Danny in Danny Champion Of The World (with dad Jeremy, too).
Getty ImagesHis parents famously painted their Irish castle pink. So, in short, and what you need to take from this is, Max Irons has a pink castle.
Rex FeaturesOkay, okay; that’s not strictly true. In a recent interview, Max revealed that “pink was the undercoat, it's now a nice rusty orange.” Less exciting, we think you’ll agree.
Rex FeaturesHe also seems like a genuinely nice guy, too. All easy Brit charm and self-effacing humour. YouTube his Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance for the proof.
Getty ImagesOh and another thing; he got expelled from his boarding school for being caught in flagrante with his then-girlfriend.

Getty ImagesHe's 6ft 3in.
... That's, like, unheard of for an actor.
Rex FeaturesAlso – just look at him. His features are perfect.
Getty ImagesFactoid: He was “discovered” by Mario Testino as he walked down the street following an argument with his then-girlfriend in a video shop. Miracles really do happen.
PA PhotosSo much so, that never one to miss a trick, Christopher Bailey hired him for a Burberry campaign whilst Max was still at drama school.
Getty ImagesIf he hadn't have gone into acting, Max has said that he'd probably have become a teacher because he's – quote – “always quite liked kids”.
We are currently conjuring up the mental image of Max cradling the baby that we made with him
Rex FeaturesHis next project is starring as Antonio Vivaldi in a biopic about the Italian composer. So watch this space.
Those corset-ripping scenes in The White Queen sure did get us hot under the collar.
Rex FeaturesWhilst he is single at the moment - to the best of our not-so-extensive research on the subject - Max does have a famous ex...
Rex FeaturesReported to have split in the summer of 2012, Max was dating Aussie actress Emily Browning for one year.
Max also dated our Junior Features Editor Hannah, too.*
*Disclaimer. This is a flagrant lie.
Rex FeaturesErmagherrrd... Just have our babies already.
Rex FeaturesHe's said in the past that he likes women in creepers. So, on that note, we're off to OFFICE to buy like, ten pairs. Baaiii.
