His brother is photographer Samuel Irons. Through his mother, his half-brother is politician Richard Boyd Barrett; his aunts are actresses Niamh Cusack and Sorcha Cusack; his uncle is theatre producer Pádraig Cusack; his grandfather is actor Cyril Cusack; and his grandmother is actress Maureen Cusack.
Irons attended the Dragon School in Oxford, Oxfordshire, then Bryanston School in Dorset (from which he was expelled shortly after receiving the under 14 high jump silver medal), and graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008. Irons suffered from dyslexia through his school years and his father discouraged him from going into an acting career. While first starting off in acting, Irons worked as a barman.
