"He's also doing a little bit of hiding, but also pulling certain strings here and there." "He'll still be running, Joe's still running - it's his preferred mode of transport," Irons joked.

"I think Joe feels that being part of the CIA's apparatus is actually furthering the problem," he told 9Entertainment on the phone from the UK.
