Clearing up Rumors

There is a wonderful feature on “Titus” in the February 2000 issue of American Cinematographer. And you can catch Jonny in the February issue of Cult Times. He’s been popping up in numerous publications over in the UK. Which has lead to some rumors that I’ve been asked about.

And Jonny did state in an...

Radio Times

Gormenghast: Behind the Scenes Radio Times, January 2000 After a gruelling five-month shoot at Cinecitta in Rome playing Chiron the “hideous little rapist” in the new film adaptation of Titus Andronicus, Jonathan Rhys Meyers “was exactly in the right mood to play Steerpike, another of the great hideousnesses of English literature”. And so began four more gruelling months at Shepperton Studios. “I’d never heard of the novels,” says 22-year-old Irishman Rhys Meyers, “but as soon as I read the scripts I understood the character. I didn’t even have to...

Vogue

Principal Boy By Christa D’Souza Vogue, January 2000 Ever since Jonathan Rhys Meyers smoldered his way through “Velvet Goldmine”, he’s been the most sought-after new beauty in Tinseltown. But he still thinks he’s ugly, or at least that’s what he tells the girls. What a disaster. This car has to travel all the way from SE1 to W11 in the middle of Friday afternoon traffic and the driver has just told Jonathan Rhys Meyers he is not allowed to smoke. “You are fucking kidding me,” Rhys Meyers...
