Actor Jeremy Irons on his new films and the EU referendum

In two new movies that couldn't be more different from each other, Jeremy Irons plays a father figure to gifted, troubled men.

"The Man Who Knew Infinity" casts him as a Cambridge don helping a young Indian maths genius to cope with racism and his own brilliance.

His other new film, "Batman versus Superman", he reinvents Bruce Wayne's butler. Irons explained why his "Alfred" is a special ops sidekick to Ben Affleck's Batman.
