Jonathan’s Stay in South Africa *Update*

I’m not very keen on posting rumours but I get a lot of e-mails every day with the same question: “Why is Jonathan in South Africa?” According to Heat magazine, Jonny is in rehab. He’s currently being treated at Monrose Place in Cape Town. I can’t confirm it 100%, though. If it’s true then good luck, Jonathan! You will make it. :)

You can check out the exclusive scans from Heat Magazine on Facebook. Thanks Awesomenista.

Jonny will be “glad to say goodbye” to Tudors

It was announced last year that the fourth and final season will go out this April and will feature King Henry VIII’s last two marriages and the last few years of his life. Rhys Meyers, 32, has played the role of the British monarch since the start of the show in 2007. He said: “I’m glad to say goodbye. It’s nice to say goodbye to things. It’s funny, I made a movie with Anthony Hopkins 10 years ago and he said one of his favourite parts of making films was going on to the next thing. “It’s like the death of one thing but the beginning of another. I had the best time doing the series and Henry was one of the best parts I’ve ever played.” Rhys Meyers defended the show’s sex scenes and the decision to keep the King as hunky and attractive. He told Parade magazine: “He was a lot heavier and taller than I am, but so what? I think I’d have been stupid to put on a fat suit and I wasn’t about to gain a lot of weight.” And he added: “Some people think we’ve overdone it [the sex scenes], but they were much more sexually gregarious in the 15th century than we are today. Sex was very, very important. It’s what you did when the sun went down. So we couldn’t leave out the scenes of passion.”

P.S. Read an interesting article about The Tudors season 4 posted on LA Times.

Meet the cast of The Tudors 4

From usatoday.com: The fourth and final season of Showtime’s The Tudors kicks off on Sunday at 9 pm ET/PT.

King Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys Meyers)
For three seasons, Rhys Meyers, whose impeccable portrayal of another late king, Elvis Presley, earned him a Golden Globe for best actor in a miniseries in 2006, has reigned surpreme as one of England’s most notorious monarchs in The Tudors. Casting the gorgeous Irish actor wasn’t just a Hollywood twist, either. As a young monarch, Henry VIII was known as a prince of the Renaissance. He was athletic, beautiful and a lover of arts and music (and women). As Henry rounds the corner into the final season, we see an ailing, overweight tyrant whose menace knows no bounds.

Ewan McGregor talks about kissing scene with Jonny

In a recent interview for “Out” Magazine, Ewan McGregor mentions kissing scene with Jonathan in “Velvet Goldmine” (1998). Read what he said below:

On kissing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in ‘Velvet Goldmine’:
“I remember when I kissed Johnny. It was just a rush at the end of the day. It was just an electrical moment, because you look around and some of the British electrician guys — who are all mainly closeted homosexuals, I think — were sitting around going ‘Fuck, no.’ But I like kissing boys on screen. As a straight guy, it’s quite an interesting proposition. Anything on a film set that takes you by surprise like that, that gets your blood up, is good.”

Celebrity Q&A: John Travolta and Jonathan

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.
