Shiloh Fernandez and Max Irons vie for the affections of Amanda Seyfried in the supernatural thriller Red Riding Hood.
Shiloh Fernandez
Shiloh, 26, who started out on TV's Jericho and United States of Tara, stars in this month's gothic thriller Red Riding Hood as an orphaned woodcutter named Peter trying to win the love of Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) as their village is being terrorized by a werewolf. Working with director Catherine Hardwicke was a long time coming for Shiloh, who lost out to Robert Pattinson for the role of Edward in a little movie she helmed called Twilight. This time around, after an intense series of auditions, many of which took place in Hardwicke's garage, Shiloh landed the part—for which he had to gain fifteen pounds and take tree-chopping lessons. But to fully embody his role as town outcast, Shiloh tried to isolate himself from the other actors. "When we started filming in Vancouver, we all lived in the same apartment," he says, "but I decided to rent my own place on the outside of town. I got to know everyone really well in the end, but in the beginning I wanted to create that feeling of being an outsider."
Max Irons
Though he's the son of acclaimed actors Jeremy Irons and Sinéad Cusack, it was not a given that Max, 25, would enter the family trade. Through elementary school he struggled with dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to read and memorize lines, and his father discouraged him from pursuing an acting career. "He told me, 'It's a ruthless business, and you're potentially destined for a life of unhappiness, financial instability, jealousy, and paranoia.' But then he realized I was serious, and said, 'OK, go for it.'" So go for it he did, attending London's prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama before being cast in Red Riding Hood as Henry, a guy "from the right side of the tracks," he says, engaged to Valerie through an arranged marriage. Max and Shiloh play bitter rivals, but offscreen they're anything but. "Having someone else who was new to a movie of this size to laugh with every once in a while," Max says, "took the pressure off."—ALEXIS SWERDLOFF
