Embed:
What is it about Johnathon Rhys Meyers?Johnathon Rhys Meyers born by birth name Johnathon Michael Francis O'Keefe in Dublin,Ireland in 1977,is he up and coming or already established?I had been seeing his face popping up in movies and thinking,"this guy is a pretty good actor and pretty dang cute too" which got me curious and I started digging around for more information.
His life starting out was a bit rocky,his father leaving him,his three brothers and mother to survive on their own and like any child put through such circumstances he became a bit rebellious getting kicked out of school at the age of 16.He started hanging around several pool halls where he was discovered by a casting agent who talked him into auditioning for a movie,after three auditions he didn't get the part which almost deterred him from acting but one phone call changed his life,a small role in 1994 in A Man of No Importance would kick start his fame and he was hooked.
At only 29 he is credited to 36 films and made for tv movies.He has three films right now in pre production,in the process of filming another and a Showtime TV series The Tudors in post production where he shines bringing Henry the 8th King of England to whole new light. He has graced us with his pouty lips and captivating blue eyes in movies such as, the coach/boyfriend in the 2002 movie Bend it like Beckham,portraying the King of Rock and Roll in the made for tv movie Elvis (filling some pretty big blue suede shoes)which he won a Golden Globe award for Best Male Actor in a tv miniseries, as well as the confused cheating husband in the 2005 movie Match Point and even co starred with the ever eye catching actor himself Tom Cruise in 2006 for Mission Impossible 3.
