Ewan McGregor talks about kissing scene with Jonny

February 17th, 2010 • By Dominique :: Articles

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

February 6th, 2010 • By Dominique :: From Paris With Love, Press

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.

‘Paris’ offers a change of pace for Rhys Meyers

January 29th, 2010 • By Dominique :: Articles, From Paris With Love

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.

“I never went to rehab”

April 30th, 2009 • By Laura :: Articles

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.
