Incest Here, Sodomy There

Jeremy Irons is starring as Rodrigo Borgia in the Showtimes new series The Borgias.
Irons continued, "It was an interesting time. There were murders every night. Poisonings most weekends. Incest here, sodomy there. It was a good old rolling, rollicking society. If you're going to run that as a Pope tends to do, you're going to have to play by some set of rules. I don't judge him at all. I think it's up to the audience to say what is good, what is wrong, what's right. There are huge parallels today to how things were back then as far as what people get up to and what they do to get their way. I don't think anything has changed really. I played him as someone who thought he was a pretty good guy. I'm sure George W. Bush thought he was a good guy, too. Stalin probably liked himself."


Ha! How funny is JI.  So true.  I think I'm great but the people I plot to kill because they cut me off in traffic would beg to differ.
