Reasons To Love JRM

Reasons to LOVE our JRM Jonathan Rhys Meyers

His Raw Talent
JRM's tour de force portrayal of the King, Elvis for which he won the Golden Globe	He said :"I've never gone to acting school and I never will, so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting."
His Kindness to his Fans
So sweet & humble with his fans <embed height="344" src="http://widget.wetpaintserv.us/wiki/thetudorswiki/widget/youtubevideo/cdd847279635b712fb247043a78cf8a459ef8cb2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" wmode="transparent"/>	From <a class="external" href="http://meetthefamous.com/photos-videos/details.php?story=7779" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="meet the famous">meet the famous</a> April 6th, 2009 "The Tudors star, Jonathan Rhys Myers was out in New York City this week promoting the show's new season. I had the opportunity to meet him, as he was leaving ABC studios after being on The View. Usually, seeing a celebrity there is very hard as they leave in their cars. But sometimes if you are very lucky they will roll down the window and you could get an autograph. So I went in hopes of seeing one of my favorite actors. So I was hoping Jonathan would at least roll down his window but Jonathan did something even way better. Jonathan got out of his car and spent time with each person on a one on one basis. Thanking everyone for their support. He signed lots of autographs and took pictures with all those fans who wanted. The star couldn't have been nicer and is definitely on the top of the list of the nicest celebrities I have ever met. Before he left, he thanked everyone once again for going and for their support. Definitely, the most humble celebrity you can meet. In related news, reports are reporting that alcohol has been banned from set of The Tudors as Jonathan recently completed a month stay from rehab. They want to reduce the temptation to alchol. Which I definitely think is great for them to do. Personally, I wish him the best and a safe journey to recovery. Jonathan is one of my favorite actors EVER, so it was amazing to have met one of my idols who was humble enough to take times to make everyone happy."
