Earth to Angsty Actors: Shut Up.

Look, I don't begrudge Jeremy Irons his pink castle, or his six other houses or his fleet of cars. If I had his money, I'd spend it on myself without remorse. But just where the hell does he get off with bloviations like:
“People must drop their standard of living [so] the wealth can be spread about. There’s a long way to go.”
But of course this time it's not just talk. Already he has divested himself of his vast collection of possessions and currently walks the earth doing good, like Kane in Kung Fu. Meeting people. Getting into adventures. Right? Oh, wait...
Launching himself as a green campaigner, Irons has revealed plans to make a documentary about sustainability and waste disposal, likening himself to Michael Moore, the controversial film maker, although “not as silly”.
Too late, Jeremy.
