Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons (The Mission, Die Hard With a Vengeance, Brideshead Revisited) on Wednesday savaged New York City Mayor Michael Bloombergs attempts to coerce people into healthier lifestyles, comparing the mayors policies to a nanny state.
Im a complete libertarian. I think its very, very dangerous. I really mean that. I think the smoking ban is a tip of an iceberg of society the leaders of society telling us how to be, he said during an interview on HuppPost Live
I think its not their business. I think it is their business to tell us to care for and respect each other and each others happiness and each others health, and we are responsible enough to do that, he adds.
