Jeremy Irons gets creepy again, talks incest and gay marriage
Here's Jeremy Irons creepin' everybody out, again. A little more than a month after suggesting that women should be totally cool with playful pats on their butts, Irons took a break from his busy schedule of not being in any quality movies since, like, The Lion King (unless you count Kingdom of Heaven?) to insinuate that legalizing gay marriage will make it so that fathers and sons will start shacking up. Take it away, Jeremy:
"Could a father not marry his son?" Irons asked HuffPost Live host Josh Zepps. Irons argued that "it's not incest between men" because "incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don't breed," and wondered whether same-sex marriage might allow fathers to pass on their estates to their sons without being taxed.
But, Irons didn't stop there. Oh, no. He had to bring the whole animal thing into it because of course he did.
"Living with another animal, whether it be a husband or a dog, is great," he said. "It's lovely to have someone to love. I don't think sex matters at all. What it's called doesn't matter at all." [Huffington Post]
Ugh. In case you missed the entire news cycle over the course of the past few days, Irons isn't alone. Here's Jon Stewart, on Wednesday's episode of The Daily Show, making fun of people who equate bestiality to homosexuality.
Is Jeremy Irons strange? We have no idea....— TheMonk.jpg)
Who is Jeremy Irons and why does he get on TV?— Tyrone Biggums Jr.- To liberals, he probably sounds normal.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- And to partisan robots, Don Young probably sounds normal. — djgq42
- Hanging around with Rick Santorum, apparently.— NotMyRealName123
Um, when has Irons -not- been creepy?— verve- I think people are missing his point. He is wondering how far things can go in our society. If it's OK for two men to marry which scuttles he traditional culture of marriage, thn it could be questioned why not a marriage between two close relatives? Why not between a human and an animal ? What else will liberals question as to what's normal?— snorkle
- Not really. Close relatives increase the chance of passing on a set of "bad" genes to offspring. It was the reason the royals in Europe ended up with so many odd conditions. As for animals- the animal cannot consent. If two gay people get married, there's really no consequence except for people getting morally outraged over it. — verve
- Uh-oh. He took the brown acid.— Poit
- He makes a good point. I'm for gay marriage but to make fun of what he says is wrong, he has his view, others have another view. He is not equating homosexuals to beastility, people are changing the point on what he says.— neddyflanders
- I've thought about it and I don't think 'Kingdom of Heaven' is 'quality'. It's adequate Saturday hangover faire, but not quality cinema. Apologist propaganda. I don't think Jeremy is big on apologies.— Roger Podacter

He is a drugged up fool. Alcoholic and speed freak. Nobody care what he thinks anymore, if ever.— MS. LOU.- Most actors and actresses are strange.— natural mother
- Since straight fathers marry their daughters all the time, I'm sure gay fathers will marry their sons too. Makes sense, right?— ej610
- He will now go to a Rehab, then read an apology written by his attornery and/or agent. Typical .— boris
