Speaking with the Huffington Post, Irons, 64, stated that he didn’t “have a strong feeling either way” on the subject, mused: “Could a father not marry his son?” When the interviewer reminded Irons about incest laws, the actor continued: “It’s not incest between men,” adding: “Incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don’t breed”.
His remarks can only be explained as “bizarre” and had been branded so by lesbian, gay and bisexual charity Stonewall.
Irons’ plays Pope Alexander VI in television series The Borgias.
