Everyone's talking about Max Irons, the young star of Stephenie Meyer's new movie The Host, with the actor being dubbed the “new Robert Pattinson”, well we've checked out some facts about the star to see if the comparisons are justified.
1.) Like Rob, Max went to a pretty posh school attending Oxford's prestigious Dragon Prep School. Other alumni include Harry Potter star Emma Watson and Thor actor Tom Hiddlestone. Weirdly the school has its own slang and the teachers are refered to by nivknames, with female teachers all being refered to as 'Ma'.
2.) Max is acting royalty as the son of Sinead Cusack and Jeremy Irons. His parents though have what you might call an unconventional relationship, with rumours of affairs and Jeremy calling his wife “impossible” during an interview.
3.) Max suffered from dyslexia in his youth.
4.)The Host director Andrew Niccol actually extended Max and co-star Saorise Ronan's kissing scene in the movie due to fans being unable to contain their excitement in test screenings.
“When Jake [Abel]'s character says 'Kiss her' to Max's character, there's such a big shriek that I actually added frames to the reaction so you could hear the next line of dialogue," Niccol told The Hollywood Reporter.
5.) Max has always wanted to be a fighter pilot but gets squeamish at the thought of killing.“I’ve always wanted to be a fighter pilot, but I don’t want to kill people. I’d hate to,” the star told Men's Week.
6.) The actor dated Aussie actress Emily Browning, before the pair broke up last summer.
7.) Like R-Patz again, the star got his big break from Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, who cast him alongside Shiloh Fernandez and Amanda Seyfried in Red Riding Hood. The Twilight connection doesn't stop there though, as Max even turned up to the Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
