Irons’s rebel with four paws

OSCAR-WINNER Jeremy Irons has been married to actress Sinead Cusack for 40 years, but she didn’t make the cut when they left a party in the West End this week.

The 70- year- old instead departed with his white Jack Russell-Bichon Frise mix, Smudge, whom he rescued four years ago from an animal shelter.

Dressed in his usual garb of riding boots and a waistcoat teamed with a red neckscarf, Irons playfully perched her on his prized BMW motorcycle (left), leaving Cusack to make her own way home. What a gent.
