The actor Jeremy Irons has said he became an actor to be a "rogue and a vagabond" so would reject a knighthood if one was offered. Irons, who came to fame playing that role in the TV adaptation of Brideshead Revisited, is in rehearsals for a Long Day's Journey Into Night at the Bristol Old Vic, the theatre where he made his professional journey in 1969. He told Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ arts correspondent Rebecca Jones he had worked as a builder and a social worker when he was younger to sustain his acting career. Irons was a donor to the Labour Party in the 1980s but said he was now very disillusioned with current politics. He suggested the campaigning for the European Referendum had turned into a game show, primarily between David Cameron and Boris Johnson. (Image: Jeremy Irons. Copyright: Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ)
