Jeremy Irons Reveals the Inspiration for His Unique Take on Alfred

[@ScionStorm1]

All I hear is the voice of Scar from Lion King. Can't believe they didn't ask him to return for the live action remake.

[@two-face1041]

ScionStorm they probably did and he said no or couldn’t because of scheduling conflicts

[@AuntieFa]

For real. It's a fucking crime! Jeremy Irons is as much Scar as James Earl Jones is Mufasa!

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

Two-Face actually he said he was sad when they didn't ask

[@bedouinoutpost]

It’s a complete travesty

[@AtlCinderella80]

ScionStorm they wanted more African American people as they should to be fair

[@User-xw6kd]

This guy is blessed with one of the best voices of all time.

[@jetman1895]

Close your eyes, you can hear Seth interviewing Scar.

[@katherineree6684]

jetman189 this now makes me laugh😂😂

[@tyasasongko]

😂😂😂 this made my day 🤣

[@aylarios11]

I was kind of waiting for a "PAY ATTENTION! My words are a matter of pride" the entire time

[@sarahhenry1845]

Scar not being able to be tech savvy

[@kryskilgannon]

That haircut is probably the greatest haircut I've ever seen.

[@cindytartt4048]

In Die Hard it had to be bleached & shaped constantly. Kind of like Spike in Buffy. Pretty painful.

[@Redhotchilipprs]

His Alfred is exactly the Alfred I grew up on. It’s perfect. The kind of Alfred that makes Bruce some French onion soup in a bread bowl while remotely flying the Batwing.

[@lewotech]

Jeremy Irons stole every scene he is in with his engineer alfred with military background. His humor is alo top notch.

[@Rubber_Monkey]

This man would be a fantastic Frollo in a live-action Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[@Christopher_Woods]

I think so too. He looks like him and is British like Tony Jay. If they casted him for that role this guy played the two best villains in the history of Disney.

[@BabyScatha]

On one hand - no to more disney remakes. On the other hand - mother may I 😂 Jeremy and bad guys are always awesome even if the movies aren't 🤔

[@sharitataylor6553]

YES!!! HE WOULD BE A WONDERFUL FROLLO!!!

[@u.a1952]

YES

[@stewiegriffin12341]

Damn what a great idea. Please let this happen.

[@1224dlc]

He is adorable! Such a wonderful actor! I could listen to him all day. Just a handsomely, wonderful man.

[@vinceniederman]

Jeremy Irons is a Fantastic Actor and Scar Pops in My Head With Jeremy’s Interview A lot

[@orin81]

Hands down he has one of the best accents and voice !

[@AlexFromPhoenix]

I wish we could’ve had more of Jeremy Irons as Alfred because he nailed it.

[@brianahicks4805]

I think The Lion King has traumatized me against his voice.

[@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494]

well for God's sake don't watch "Damage" or "Dead Ringers" then. Please. They won't help AT ALL

[@starfall2410]

But do watch Man In The Iron Mask. It doesn’t help. But it’s great.

[@masonzhang1792]

Give this man's voice an Oscar first and foremost, and then himself one too.

[@persephonestears9289]

Whenever I listen to his voice I'm reminded of my memories of watching him in Lolita playing Humbert Humbert. Ever since that day, I felt hopelessly in love with his voice.😍

[@Voiceoverguyfromch]

Jeremy irons is the man!!! I really love his style

[@vinceniederman]

Plus His Voice is Fantastic and Scar Pops in My Head Whenever I Hear Him In Interviews!

[@jceloz6148]

Charm, talent, brain, kind heart, handsome face and well built body,. you all got it my dearest Jeremy Irons,. I love youuuuuuuuu forever.

[@brandonsmith3411]

I like Scar's voice, especially when he said, "you have no idea."

[@maca1ronnie]

i’m really sad he won’t be voicing scar in the new lion king ):

[@andrewhasbigbrain4496]

and the new scar sucks :(

[@travescolt7389]

Nobody can replace him for scar

[@Lexicon-ff6or]

You can blame the forced diversity/far left identify politics for that

[@celsorosajunior]

If Alfred had the money, he would be Jeremy Irons Man!

[@danzwku]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah

[@LookingTheBest]

He would be an actor not able to play past roles because of the color of his Skin yay.......

[@crashpal]

or Jarvis could be a real person like he is in canon 616 comics

[@phoenixzappa7366]

what a legend

[@LordAaronus]

I thought Alfred was already former military... this just proves it's a real thing tho

[@AndrewSmith-vh3gu]

combat medic, i believe

[@0lyge0]

Yep, combat medic since forever. It's how he's able to patch up Bruce all the time.

[@scwhk1]

Jeremy Iron was quite clear on the fact that he have never read the comic (never were a comic fan to begin with). So he is likely to be unaware that was in the comic all along.

[@shelbyherring92]

@@scwhk1 Which still makes it neat that he dialed into that without that deep seeded idea. Also, I didn't he was a combat medic, I thought he was like a spy for MI:6 or former special forces.

[@tytoalbasoren9457]

I only hear Scar's voice. I'm actually kinda disappointed that he's not in the 2019 Lion King.

[@Sweet_Karma]

Best on screen Alfred ever

[@doudymac]

Sweet Karma Yup. Goes right along with the best Batman...😁😁

[@Sweet_Karma]

Doudymac Yup, shame the movies haven't been perfect but both Irons and Batfleck betrayal just gel perfectly

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed

[@Turbo9987]

Michael Caine

[@BlushGush]

Sweet Karma I loved Michael Gough too, who was the original Alfred from he tim burton and even those horrid Schumacher movies. He was a wonderful Alfred, as is Jeremy Irons.

[@YeahMackD]

will always be a legend for playing scar

[@bethanydelossantos4716]

Can I just say....I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH!!! 😍❤❤❤

[@ablazedemon1149]

The fact that he wasn’t even contacted to play Scar in the Live Action is beyond me.

[@lavarredagirl]

I dont know... but am i the only one that thinks he is hot?

[@toffeesauce]

👌🔥🔥🔥

[@mariabelenvalenzuela5826]

He has the sexy voice and accent. Imagine him whispering in your ear 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@julieagarici4477]

he's my daddy omg

[@BlushGush]

Um, def not. Join he club hunty!!!

[@katherineree6684]

[@jovanosborne1534]

I want him to whisper in my ear “Long live the King” 😩😩😩😩😫

[@BlackAdder665]

gotta love that man!

[@vinceniederman]

All I Can Hear is Scar Here With Jeremy’s Voice Hahahahaha!

[@crunchychips8123]

Forget Alfred and Scar, if you haven't watched him in The Borgias, you haven't lived.

[@autumnsummers6599]

Crunchy Chips Omg he was great in that series, too bad it didn't last long.

[@novembercherry4]

I love him in the Borgias. HIs family was freakin nuts! I think he was more sane than the rest of them. LOL

[@BlushGush]

2:13- I melted.

[@thegreenvoltage]

I can’t believe I’m just now finding this. I love this man even more now

[@davenierop1540]

Everytime i hear his voice I think of Scar just makes me wish he would have played Scar again in the 2019 remake

[@vinceniederman]

Same and If Jeremy Voiced Scar In Remake I Would Had Been So Thrilled!

[@jovanosborne1534]

His voice just sounds so uhhhhh i love the timbre of it

[@blacklavoux]

His voice is very charismatic for the real world.

[@palcada]

If I close my eyes I see Scar sitting on that couch giving an interview.

[@Blakemeister55]

All I can imagine is scar getting interviewed

[@forevertwelve2292]

The moment you realize that he wasn't voice acting in The Lion King, it's just his completely normal voice.

[@vinceniederman]

Jeremy’s Voice As Scar is Awesome!

[@ashleyc7287]

Everyone saying "oh his voice would be so different now, he couldn't play scar again." Well here ya go! Perfect scar voice still. And so much better then the new one.

[@BabyScatha]

I have seen that excuse to him not being Scar again too. He's too old now, yet James Earl Jones is like 18 years older (give or take) than Jeremy and he can reprise his role? Lol nonsense. As proven in this video.

[@itwillbefridaythe1354]

Long live… THE KING

[@susannak1755]

He is so handsome.. I mean really hot!! Wow

[@mitchelllombard3789]

His voice is just the best thing ever

[@greenteadrink2603]

He still sound Scar here😂🦁❤ I watch Lion King last night it was great but I still Want Jeremy Irons for scar voice no bitterness🥰🦁🙌

[@DanielITravel]

I want him to be in all batman movies and when they invade the batcave or the mansion and he starts shooting fools with his shotgun cause everyone knows alfred when it comes down he will take out someone to protect bruce

[@siriusblack4671]

Jeremy Irons should create an ASMR KZbin channel though.

[@madrazz8888]

If I remember correctly, in the 90's cartoon we learn Alfred was ex-British Forces (can't remember the exact branch), so it was nothing new to me. There was even an episode where he used his old skills, I think. Plus it's been mentioned numerous times he was a military medic.

[@moonlightbae2]

His voice ugh.. Can I be his lolita?

[@voidxsaint]

Moonlight Bae girllll

[@siriusblack4671]

Damn it young lady!

[@novembercherry4]

When I first saw the Lion King, I was probably about 13... I admired Scar, because he has the coolest voice and amazing lines. I didn't really care about anyone else but Timon and Pumba. 😂 I knew his name, but couldn't think of any movie he was in at the time. I finally saw a movie and heard his voice. I remembered he was in M. Butterfly. I really recognized him in Die Hard With A Vengeance. He's one of the best baddies on screen. Love this man.

[@josephinestabel9647]

[@aadelheidecolston8037]

Oh my gosh his voooooice! Scaaaar

[@cindytartt4048]

Everyone is ‘Scar.’ Too young for DieHard 3, The French Lieutenant’s Woman; The Mission; The Time Keeper; Beautiful Creatures….& on. Saw him play Richard the 2nd at the Barbican. Bloody spell binding. A real treasure & charming in interviews. ❤❤

[@Angeliika]

Humbert Humbert 💜

[@danielbadger2641]

His style in BvS and Justice league was excellent

[@creed8712]

I think he would have made a very good Ras Al Ghul just cause I could defiantly hear scars voice coming from Ras and it fitting more perfectly than it probably should

[@TR-hp7md]

All of us 90s kids only hear Scar no matter what lol the most powerful toned voice we ever heard as kids next James earl jones as mufasa

[@katelynrushe9025]

[@gloriaredmon2134]

It is a tragedy that he is not Scar in the new (inferior version) of Lion King.

[@stevenjones2609]

Damn right

[@Lexicon-ff6or]

Yeah Iron's Scar was probably one of the best parts of the original Lion King, to have Jones as Mufasa and not Irons as Scar hurts even more because it was so close to being awesome but just falls short and fails miserably

Why Disney recast Scar if he is still alive ? Having James Earl Jones as Mufasa is good but not having Jeremy Irons as Scar ruin the movie.

[@haminational3885]

Disney wanted an ALL BLACK CAST>>... THOSE RasCIsts motherFUCKERS... LITERALLY THEY RUINED THE WHOLE MOVIE

[@obi-wankenobi5044]

Cutting Be Prepared was the worst decision in a Disney movie and that’s saying something given how many stupid decisions TLJ made.

[@GamingTohru698]

Too bad Jeremy Irons didn't come back to voice Scar in the 2019 version of the Lion King. He was perfect as Scar.

[@isabelalzateestrada]

He wanted to, but Disney didn't let him

His voice is very similar to Albert Wesker from Resident Evil Games

[@AudioAndroid]

A Batman Story "The Perpetual Joke" I always imagine Alfred being the real Golden Age BATMAN. As time goes by his body is not able to keep up and at some point a bad guy kills Patrick Wayne "Bruce Wayne's Grandfather" in a failed robbery attempt. Batman kills the robber and saves a young Thomas Wayne and his Mother. Later Thomas Wayne's mother knowing who Batman really is hires Alfred as a body guard for there family and to teach Thomas Wayne everything he knows giving us the "Silver Age Batman". As the story moves forward the JOKER co.es into playand discovers Batman's secret Idenity and ambushes Thomas and His Wife outside a Movie Theater leaving Bruce alive. Alfred now being Bruce Wayne legal Guardian vows to end the Batman legacy but as a sole request from a young Bruce Wayne he asked Alfred to teach him everything he knows and out of respect Alfred does so and doing the last deed for the last time as the Golden Age Batman and in doing so gives us the Modern Age Bruce Wayne Batman and the only Batman on Earth who knows the Jokers true identity a identity he keeps to himself vowing to never to capture or kill the JOKER only to always hunt him and make every second of his life a living hell. As for the JOKER he vows to never kill BATMAN only to hunt him and make everyday of his life a living hell, the Joker needs BATMAN in his life in order to stay alive and from keeping himself from becoming totally insane, giving us the Story "The Perpetual Joke"
