JONATHAN RHYS MYERS IS HONORED

Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was given the Honorary Patronage award from the Trinity College Philosophical Society today - for representing, as Society president Barry Devlin said, "...the spirit and values embodied by former pioneering Irish people like Oscar Wilde. We are delighted to present this award to such a list of diverse and talented individuals such as Jonathan Rhys Myers."

Did you see Meyers' co-star Henry Cavill in the Fall 2008 issue of LA Confidential?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is COMPLEX

As the cover-model/story for the current issue of COMPLEX (eerily similar to Details), Jonathan Rhys Meyers is preparing for two November premieres... the Tudors' second lusty season and the romantic drama August Rush.  Sitting down with Complex, he talks about sobriety, celebrity status, keeping it in your pants, and moving from a physically androgynous 20'something to a buff leading man.

Sex on the set: "When you’re having sex with somebody you’re totally in that person at that time. It’s strange when there are tons of people looking at you, but I don’t get ashamed and I don’t get embarrassed. I go to the gym, so I’m comfortable with my body. This is the job that I do and if I want to be comfortable doing the job that I do, I have to take care of myself."

From boy to man: "Yeah, I wanted to change as an actor. There is a time for being a pretty, thin, 19-year-old boy. It’s about how you get parts at that time. It’s very difficult to cast 19 to 24, because you’re not quite a kid and you’re not really a man yet. You haven’t had life’s experiences."

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS seeks your approval (DETAILS mag)

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is on the cover of Details' holiday issue hitting shelves in NY and LA tomorrow, 10/30.  Aside from burning the fake hair of the sleeves of his jacket and impersonating a man trying to have a conversation in a crowded nightclub ("P___Y! I want P___Y! “I said, ‘P___y! P___y!’” he shouts. “P-_-_-_-y.”) he talks to Details about his insecurities:

“Part of being a narcissist is being terribly insecure,” he says, sitting back down. “If I wasn’t so insecure about myself I wouldn’t work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.”

And if he could trade places with anyone else in Hollywood, he'd choose Leonardo DiCaprio... not because of his acting skills but because of his seductive power:

“[Leonardo DiCaprio] was successful very young, was a party boy, took two years off, and then became this major Hollywood player. Right now I can get a $5 million film green-lit, not a $100 million film.”

More Jonathan!

Remember! The Tudors...

You might remember my two reasons for switching from HBO to Showtime, but here's another visual shot by the French photographer, Francois Rousseau:

For those of you without Showtime, you can watch the first two episodes here.  You can also view more of Francois Rousseaus' "The Tudors" studio shots here.  And while you're at it, watch Jonathan Rhys Meyers on love and King Henry VIII.
