IRISH movie hunk Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the headline guest for the return of the Late Late Show this Friday.
In what’s being hailed as a considerable coup for the show’s producers, Rhys Meyers will feature in a lengthy interview, which RTE hope will pull in massive audience numbers for the show’s return from the summer break.
The first show will be broadcast live from the stunning new state-of-the-art Opera House Opera House in Wexford in a special one-off before returning to its usual home in Montrose.
That’s why the show’s chiefs were especially keen to pull in an A-list name to kickstart the inaugural programme of the autumn in style.
“Rhys Meyers really is one of the biggest stars that Ireland has ever produced and everyone’s fascinated by him,” said a source.
“Women absolutely love him and guys respect him because he’s also a very talented actor, so there’s no doubt he’s a popular choice when it comes to interviewees.”
The Cork native starred in massive hits like Match Point and Bend it Like Beckham before returning to Dublin to film the popular €25m series, The Tudors.
Production on the third series is currently underway in Ireland, with America’s Showtime bosses expected to green-light a fourth series.

Jonathan is no longer listed as a guest on this Friday’s episode of the Ellen Show. He is still set to be a guest on Conan O’Brien Tuesday night, and Regis & Kelly, Monday morning. According to Showtime Watch, Jonathan may also be making an appearance on Good Morning America tomorrow morning.
Update: Jonathan was not on the Regis & Kelly show this morning and is no longer listed as a guest for Conan. No word on why he’s missed out on these appearances to promote “The Children of Huang Shi”, but perhaps it’s due to scheduling conflicts.
“The Children of Huang Shi” is still opening in select theatres in NY and LA this Friday.
Jonathan is making more stops on the talk show circuit to promote “The Children of Huang Shi”. Here’s the current list of all the shows he’ll be on (will update if more shows are announced):
- Live with Regis and Kelly - Monday, May 19
- Late Night with Conan O’Brien - Tuesday, May 20
- Ellen Degeneres Show - Friday, May 23
Set your recorders! Jonathan is listed as an upcoming guest on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. He is set to appear on the May 20 show. This looks to be promotion for “The Children of Huang Shi”, which is going to be in limited release starting May 23 and will be Jonathan’s first appearance on Conan. You can also read a review of the film from Variety.

I apologize for the lack of updates with all of the great new photos, tv spots, and articles popping up. I was without internet access for a few days while on a trip to New York City. I will be posting lots of goodies soon, including photos I took at the “August Rush” premiere. The movie is beautiful and I know many of you will love it as much as I did.
TV alert! Jonathan will be on The View with co-star Keri Russell and John Legend (who sings a song on the soundtrack) on Wednesday, November 21.
Scans from Details magazine were added to the Gallery. The article was also added to the Press section.
