‘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.
