Why Jeremy Irons doesn't want to be knighted | Larry King Now | Ora.TV

Sorry, Queen Elizabeth: Jeremy Irons isn't interested. The Oscar winner explains why being knighted doesn't appeal to him, and infers that he may have already turned down the honor.

Definitely a class act. I respect him for what he said about why he doesn't want to be knighted.

“I became an actor to be a Rogue and a vagabond” 0:13 his voice ughhh I can fall asleep to it (in the good way I can hear it all day)

Class act and a great actor, Jeremy Irons.

[johnboy]

Knighthoods are handed out so frequently that it devalues them to be honest.

“We’re not that valuable.”

BLASPHEME. This man is a gem. Protect him at all costs.

[sarimaaret]

Now I respect and admire Jeremy Irons even more than I used to and I used to A LOT!

[teenageHorrorMan]

Really can’t disagree with him! Be very easy to loose you way with how successful his career has been but still manages to stay as grounded as ever! Lot of respect for this man :)

[nehaht]

This is pure class. It’s a shame there far less people who are like this man!

[msinvincible]

The more I listen to his interviews, the more I respect and admire Jeremy Irons!

[Missjunebugfreak]

Just when I thought I couldn't respect him more, he says this. Jeremy Irons truly exhibits class. Plus he has one of the best voices of all time.

Hmm...knighthood given to the unrecognized. Very interesting, Jeremy Irons. Unexpectedly great answer from such a great actor.

[mjfreaklove]

He's the definition of ''modesty'', I adore him!!!

[mercedyzmarieguion]

Wow!!!
"We're valuable but we're not that valuable"...
Humility Honesty
I love it!!!
So refreshing to hear him say that
And to state that those who do good works and are NOT well known should get them....wow!!!
Love him more!!!
You go, Jeremy

Jeremy Irons is one of the most humblest actors to ever grace the film industry.

[paulaneary]

God, I just love Jeremy Irons. He has some values and is not afraid to stand for them. What a guy.

[soleben]

Class Personified! I have very much enjoyed Jeremy Irons in everything he had done!

I now need to see a movie with Jeremy Irons & Gary Oldman with the title "A rogue and a vagabond" about 2 british actors in the 19th century.
