InStyle

Jonathan Rhys Meyers By George Epaminondas InStyle, June 2006 He gives new meaning to the phrase “sharply dressed gentleman.” On a break from filming in N.Y.C., Jonathan Rhys Meyers wears slim Diesel jeans, work boots and an oversize gray hoodie printed with pink razor blades. Not everyone could get away with such a nouveau punk look, but then very few can go from starring in Elvis on TV (and winning a Golden Globe) to playing a rakish social climber in Match Pint or a secret in Mission:...

Glamour

The Lord Meyers By Sylvia Patterson Glamour, June 2006 He’s always had the leading man looks. Now, with a Golden Globe in the bag and his first starring role in a blockbuster, Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ career has caught up. But, insists Sylvia Patterson, it’s his huge personality she’s fallen for. Yeah, right! “Take it from me, if you cheat on your girlfriend,” Jonathan is blaring, through those intoxieatingly full lips, “as I have in the past, she will turn up in a year’s time more beautiful, taller,...

Blackbook

Nice Work If You Can Get It By Will Doig Blackbook, May 2006 From a glam ambisexual rocker and a Napoleonic-era boy toy to a scheming Irish tennis coach, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has all the right moves. “True luck is the ultimate coup d’état,” says Jonathan Rhys Meyers, referring to his character in Woody Allen’s Match Point, though he could just as easily be describing his own career. Kicked out of school at age 15, he was discovered by a casting agent while loitering in a pool...

Flaunt

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS By Shari Roman Flaunt, May 2006 The Irish heartbreaker broke ground in Velvet Goldmine, Bend It Like Beckham, Alexander, and the miniseries Elvis. The blockbuster Mission: Impossible III seals the deal on his bankable fame. “If I was a director,” bluffs Jonathan Rhys Meyers, “I would torture my actors. Torture them, torture them!” It’s a rainy afternoon in Manhattan in April, and up until 7:45 this morning, Rhys Meyers has been shooting the film August Rush with Keri Russell, his costar from Mission: Impossible...

Interview

The Hotsy-Totsy Jonathan Rhys Meyers By Graham Fuller Interview, February 2006 He’s always had the smoldering good looks and swells of tempestuous talent to make hearts melt. So how come it took the movie’s kibbitzing king of neuroses to unlock it all? Here’s an insolent Renaissance prince for cocktail-hour chitchat in English country-house drawing rooms. In Woody Allen’s Match Point, Jonathan Rhys Meyers gives his most gripping performance yet as Chris Wilton, a failed tennis pro who seizes the opportunity to enter a world of privilege by...

Spin

Tennis the Menace By Dave Itzkoff Spin, January 11, 2006 Whether he’s feuding with his directors or talking dirty to Scarlett Johansson, Match Point’s Jonathan Rhys Meyers is an actor with balls to spare A word of advice to aspiring silver-screen heartthrobs: If your current headshots and audition reels aren’t getting you noticed in Hollywood, try hanging out in dingy, smoke-filled Irish pool halls. Jonathan Rhys Meyers was just 16 years old, still “a little spotty, a little small, a little skinny,” and goofing off in one...

Chicago Sun-Times

FaceTime: Q&A with Jonathan Rhys Meyers By Cindy Pearlman Chicago Sun-Times, January 11, 2006 Jonathan Rhys-Meyers makes a point out of it: The male lead of “Match Point” hasn’t changed his life thanks to fabulous reviews. “I’m back in England at the moment. My agents and managers are like, ‘You should be in America walking on air,’ ” he says. “But maybe that’s not the best thing for a 28-year-old male to be doing.” In the movie, he plays a real cad who is cheating with Scarlett Johansson. In...

Match Point

London Calling, With Luck, Lust and Ambition By A. O. SCOTT New York Times, December 28, 2005 Because Woody Allen’s early films are about as funny as any ever made, it is often assumed that his temperament is essentially comic, which leads to all manner of disappointment and misunderstanding. Now and then, Mr. Allen tries to clear up the confusion, insisting, sometimes elegantly and sometimes a little too baldly, that his view of the world is essentially nihilistic. He has announced, in movie after movie, an absolute lack of...
