In The Blood: Exclusive shoot & Interview with ‘The Host’ star Max Irons for FAULT Issue 14
With his quintessential British charm, rugged good looks and a Stephenie Meyer film adaptation in theatres—not to mention his illustrious family ties—Max Irons is on track to serious stardom.
FAULT: You’re a boarding school survivor— nerdy or naughty?
Max: Naughty – very naughty. I got into a lot of trouble.
Who or what has been your greatest inspirations as an actor?
I don’t know if I can put a single name on it. I mean, it changes one film at a time. I guess the actors I’m very into at the moment are Ralph Fiennes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti …The normal bunch of people.
Tell us a bit about your new film, The Host.
It’s science fiction; it’s based on a novel by Stephenie Meyer. It’s the only thing she’s ever written outside of Twilight, so there aren’t any vampires. In this case it’s a kind of a take on Body Snatchers. I play a resistance fighter – one of the people whose souls haven’t been taken – fighting against the invasion. It’s directed by Andrew Niccol. People consider him to be at the forefront of sic-fi directors, so it was nice to have him on board for the film.
