MANY ARE FAMILIAR WITH JEREMY Irons from such films as The Mission, Kafka, The Lion King, Die Hard with a Vengeance, or Justice League. But what many do not know is that the thespian, one of the very few actors to receive the Triple Crown of Acting—having won an Oscar, Emmy, and a Tony—owns a medieval castle in Ireland that has been restored to its whilom glory.Built around 1450 by the clan of Dermod MacCarthy, the fortress is composed of two adjoining towers on an islet in West Cork, one squat and the other rising tall toward the sky. It was one of Ireland’s last redoubts to fall to the invading forces of Elizabethan England during the last stage of the Tudor conquest. It has long been abandoned until Irons bought it for himself in 1998.
