Irons Too Competitive To Be Gay

British actor [Jeremy Irons](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/jeremy-irons) insists he could never be gay - because his competitive nature would get in the way.

The KINGDOM OF HEAVEN star, who has been married to wife [Sinead Cusack](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/sinead-cusack) for 27 years, accepts and understands homosexual love, but thinks his macho personality would get in the way of having a romantic relationship with another man.

The 57-year-old says, "I think I am too competitive with men, that is what gets in the way.

"I can understand love between two men, I have no trouble getting my head around that. But I have never fallen in love with another man.

"I have done a film exploring that, M BUTTERFLY, where I was exploring someone who in my subconscious I knew was a man.

"Gender is very interesting, I explored all that in my head."
