"Max Irons has revealed that he recently turned down a role in a &amp;quot;very well-established franchise&amp;quot;. The actor - who has previously starred in Red Riding Hood and The Host - said that he turned down the role in the unnamed movie series as it was too similar to his previous parts.  He told DuJour magazine (via The Mirror): &amp;quot;I was recently up for a large part in a franchise, a very well-established franchise, and I said, &amp;#039;I can&amp;#039;t do it&amp;#039;. No matter how you spin it to me, it was a version of the two parts I played before [in Red Riding Hood and The Host]. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m very grateful these films got my foot in the door, but if I do it again, I&amp;#039;ll want to quit acting.&amp;quot; Irons - who is the son of Sin\u00C3\u00A9ad Cusack and Jeremy Irons - said that he realises that he will &amp;quot;never amaze&amp;quot; his parents.  &amp;quot;I became an actor at 17, and whether or not I like to acknowledge it on a conscious level, my parents are very successful actors - there is no way around it,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Which is difficult for a son because you want to impress your family and I&amp;#039;ve realised I never truly will. I&amp;#039;ll never amaze them.&amp;quot; The 27-year-old is currently appearing in the BBC&amp;#039;s adaptation of Philippa Gregory&amp;#039;s The White Queen alongside Rebecca Ferguson and Aneurin Barnard. The series continues this Sunday (August 11) at 9pm on BBC One. Watch Irons in The White Queen below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
