Overlooked Johnathan Rhys Meyers:This Sexy Young Actor Will Get His Dues

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.

Seemingly diverse there seems to be nothing that Johnathon won't tackle.So just how sexy is he?Most ladies would agree when I say,very.In 1998 he was chosen by Cosmopolitan magazine to fill the #34th spot for the top 100 Most Sexy Men in the World.His killer stare and seductive ways also has earned him the male face of Versace for fall/winter 06' and the upcoming spring 07' line and the face (and body) of new fragrance for "Hugo Boss".I'd say that is pretty impressive.But,of course I am just one person you'll have to see for yourself why I have been smitten by Johnathon Rhys Meyers.

Trying his best to remain down to earth and focused he has been quoted with sayings such as these :

"There will be ups and downs,but it's important to remember you're on your own beautiful journey and once you're on it you have to see it through to it's conclusion and try to never be afraid to do anything because what is the worst that can happen?"

"A lot of men are very uptight,but I don't distinguish between male and female beauty is beauty"

and of course the one we all like to hear "I think I'd really like to be someone who would be known for being a nice guy"

For over 10 years this little known actor has been sneaking into the spotlight, getting bigger and bigger.Soon some of you will no longer be saying "whose that cute guy?" ,you'll know.I have a feeling The Tudors is going to be a huge success with Johnathan playing the lead role why wouldn't it be?
