âI like my sleep,â admits Jeremy Irons about whether he plans to participate in the Emmys next month, which will for the first time be a live virtual ceremony across countless locations worldwide. While the actor is thrilled to be nominated for an Emmy, he says its unlikely heâll be able to be on camera in the middle of the night where he lives in Ireland. âIt goes out at three oâclock in the morning my time, so I shanât be up for it, I shall probably leave some sort of message and wait and see when I wake up!â
âBut âWatchmenâ got 26 nominations, which is amazing. Had I not got one, I wouldâve been a bit peeved,â he laughs. This is Ironsâ fifth career Emmy nomination, this time for HBOâs âWatchmen,â which leads all programs at the Emmys this year with a whopping 26 nominations. Watch our exclusive video interview with Irons above.

Acclaimed British actor, Jeremy Irons officially launched the Autism at Kingwoodâs new gardening project at the charityâs Watermans allotment this morning.
Jeremy Irons said, âIâm delighted to be here. When I say that I mean Iâm never happier than to be surrounded by veg, flowers, peace, tranquillity, bees, birds and butterflies. When we locked down like everyone my schedule fell apart. When I crossed out engagements in my diary, my heart lifted a little bit when I found myself free. Where was I? I was always in the garden. I suspect being autistic is a bit like I felt on the first day in lockdown x 100. If I found comfort going and sitting in the garden pottering and thinking a lot, occasionally sweeping, pruning and digging then how must it feel for autistic people? I think its a wonderful thing youâve done here. As a long-standing Patron on Autism at Kingwood, I know how hard they work to provide real added value to the lives of autistic adults. This allotment is an opportunity to have quiet, meaningful occupation in a safe place. Itâs an essential branch to the work. Iâm probably going to embarrass myself with trying to cut the ribbon with these sheers. Iâve looked at them and they couldnât cut a daisy! Iâve got some scissors here though if they donât work.â
Autism at Kingwood was set up by entrepreneur and local resident Dame Stephanie Shirley. Dame Stephanie says: âI founded Autism at Kingwood in 1994 to support my autistic son Giles, taking him out an institutional environment and into a house in the village of Kingwood Common, just outside Henley. He was supported by kind and caring support workers, who enabled him to make his own decisions about his life.
The charity has retained its caring approach and perseveres with highly vulnerable clients â some straight from long-stay hospitals â and sometimes where other services have given up. During Covid-19, I was particularly impressed by many of the staff who cancelled their holidays, to maintain consistent support for those they support. I am delighted to see the launch of this allotment project in Henley; people will be able to enjoy a peaceful environment, whilst learning skills and enjoying the fruits of their labour â quite literally!â
