You have no idea: Jeremy Irons, tingling and shredding
Rachel Halliburton has a Bloody Mary with Jeremy Irons in the FT: "Jeremy Irons will always be embedded in the... imagination as an elegant romantic," she ventures, "But to understand his approach to acting it helps to look at the buzz he gets from riding monster BMW motorbikes. Since 1999 Irons has been a member of the Guggenheim Motorcycle Club, which rides in pursuit of art to locations that include Lisbon, St Petersburg, Novograd and Las Vegas. Members include Thomas Krens, the director of the Guggenheim foundation; Frank Gehry, the architect, and Dennis Hopper... Describing a journey to the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Irons declares: "By the time you get there you're tingling, absolutely in the right condition to look at art. Your skin has been shredded off and your nerves are exposed."
