Irvine also has two younger brothers, Lawrence, and Toby Irvine, a child actor who portrays the young Pip in ''Great Expectations''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Great Expectations (2013) )〕 Irvine's stage name comes from his grandfather's first name. He applied to the British Army at the age of 19, but was rejected after lying about his type 1 diabetes on his application. He started acting at the age of 16. Irvine states that it was his drama teacher who inspired him to pursue acting: "I never fitted in, which led me to acting. I was looking for something different." He played Romeo along with other main roles in plays whilst attending Bedford Modern School a Harpur Trust school in Bedfordshire,〔〔 followed by a run with the National Youth Theatre.〔 After completing a one-year foundation course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), Irvine spent two years posting his CV through letterboxes in an effort to get acting work. He almost gave up acting for good just before he got his big break in ''War Horse''. In an interview with CBS News while promoting ''Great Expectations'', he described this as the lowest point of his life and revealed that he considered taking a different career path: "I'd kind of hit rock bottom and really did think this was stupid and I just wasted three or four years of my life. My dad wanted me to get a job being a welder. At the company he was at, he was an engineer. I was very very close to doing that." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeremy Irvine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
