Click here to read Jonathan’s recent interview with Daily Mail (sigh!). He talks about his 33rd birthday, battle with addiction, Hollywood career, girlfriend Reena, etc.
I’m sorry that I didn’t post it earlier, had some serious problems with my computer.
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.
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.”
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.
Click here to read very interesting article about a day on the set of acclaimed tv-show “The Tudors”. Donal Godfrey spent the whole day at Ardmore Studios in Bray during the filming of The Tudors – and he even got to meet the king himself.
Talking to The Heralds Partricia Danaher, Jonathan sets the record straight on his bad boy image! We love him, bad boy or not, right?
The Herald – “I live an incredibly low key life. I think people would like to think I’m a hell of a lot naughtier than I am actually,” he said. “I am actually quite a boring guy. I spent the last week and a half playing bloody golf. Me, Jonathan Rhys Meyers! If anyone saw me in those stupid golf clothes on the golf course, there would have been a different story written!” he laughed.
