John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers deliver action and comedy in ‘From Paris With Love’. Thanks Paris Adventure for sharing the link with us!

• John, can you describe the chemistry you had with Jonathan Rhys Meyers?
Travolta: Jonathan is a miracle! Jonathan is an amazingly talented, gorgeous guy who can do anything. If you look at his history, he just approaches a role so full-bodily. We communicated well. Jonathan is easy to read, and Pierre is the same way. There was no stone unturned, as far as discussing the possibilities of our characters together. We approached it from a good perspective — the “spirit of play” type of thing.

• What did you like most about filming in Paris?
Rhys Meyers: We watched a lot of movies, myself and Kasia [Smutniak]. Look, Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, and I was staying at a beautiful hotel, the [Hotel De] Crillon, which is where Marie Antoinette learned how to play the piano.

• Can you talk about the physicality of your roles? Was there a scene that was particularly challenging or fun for you to do?
Rhys Meyers: Truthfully, OK. Physically, OK. Yeah, it was OK. Except I don’t like heights and I have to go up these steel stairs and I’m not a good height guy, and I drop the vase of cocaine, going up the stairs. Pierre kind of liked it because I dropped the cocaine and I was like “Oh, f*ck! The coke!” — in the middle of the shot.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and John Travolta made an appearance on BET’s 106 & Park, February 2nd 2010. I assume that they were promoting their new movie “From Paris With Love”. Did not find the interview, though. If you capped it then please send me an e-mail. Greatly appreciated!

I have a winter break now so I decided to update JRM gallery. Click on the thumbs below and see those pictures in original size.

“From Paris…” NYC Premiere – After Party

“From Paris With Love” NYC Premiere (HQ adds)

Jonathan and his girlfriend Reena were seen heading back to their hotel in NYC yesterday (February 2nd). Thanks JustJared.com for these pictures!

JRM made an appearance on Martha Stewart show today. He looked absolutely fabulous! Read what Rosy from AccidentalSexiness.com said:

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen Jonathan Rhys Meyers on! I think the reason why I favor this one is because we get to see this Irish hotcake cooking some arroz con pollo. (Chicken and Rice for my non-Spanish speaking readers!)
He dishes on the next and final season of our beloved Tudors, they discuss working with a fashionable director like Tom Ford, the movie Avatar, and he confesses that he will not be joining Twitter any time soon. Just as White Collar stars Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay claim, JRM says his life is just dull! Um….I doubt it! Meyers talks about the making of his new action film From Paris with Love and his chemistry with co-star John Travolta.

Egypt from egyptsaidso.com did an interview with John Travolta and our Jonny lately. I guess it was all dedicated to their new movie “From Paris With Love”. For now, check out a small pic of Egypt, Jonathan and Mr. Travolta at the backstage.

Over the past decade and a half, Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has played – in no particular order – a women’s soccer coach, a sociopathic tennis pro, Elvis Presley, a Bowie-esque glam rocker and a certain multiply-married Tudor king. In the forthcoming spy thriller “From Paris With Love,” he’s something altogether different: innocent. “I think it was fun to play, and certainly it would be fun for people to watch,” he says of the role, a wonkish U.S. Embassy worker who’s swept into an anti-terrorism case with a berserk veteran agent played by a very bald, very nervy John Travolta. Rhys Meyers’ character “is a naive guy – most of what he knows about spies he read in books. He’s just a gofer at the embassy, and as the film progresses, he starts to become what he needs to be.” Read the whole article at San Francisco Chronicle.
