Quote Of The Day

Filed under: Quote of the Day > Jonathan Rhys Meyers

a77426279__opt.jpg

"I haven't even thought about drinking since my mother passed away. Drinking is not the way forward for me at all. Since I was 27 I must have been drunk maybe a dozen-and-a-half times - but when I do, I'm like Bambi. I'm all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice. Now drink doesn't fit into where I want to go. I want to do something useful with my life. Drinking is not synonymous with that. To be honest, I just leave it alone and hope people will, too, but I don't really care. The whole drinking thing with me has been blown out of all proportion anyway."

- The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, on sobriety not drinking

    Re: JG – Here is the difference! Good illustration:
    …An Irishman was looking for work in London. He goes to a building site where the Foreman says to him that he can have a job if he can answer this one simple question: "What is the difference between a girder and a joist"???

    The Irishman looks the foreman in the face and says: "That's simple. Girder wrote Faust and Joist wrote Ulysses."
    ……………..
    You're Welcome!

    JRM is probably somewhere drunk now with a shit face instead of a surprised face.



  39. 39

    I worship at the JRM altar so I'm thrilled that he has such a clear, concise opinion regarding his drinking. (I still love you too Perez, smooch!)

    …………….
    NOW……..HAVE A DRINK AND GO CLIMB MR. EVEREST….IF YOU CAN FIND THAT MUCH SCAFFOLDING!

    Jonathan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, he started to leave.

    "S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what Mr Rhys Meyers had done. "What was that all about?"

    "Nothing," he replied, "my Mum just sent me out for a jar of olives."
    Memories….and the good old days! (sigh)

    JRM is wonderful. Wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful. He was excellent in Velvet Goldmine and I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Plus, he is so very very attractive. It is almost hard to watch him sometimes, you just want to jump right into the screen with him!
    He seems like an unhappy fellow though. I wish him the very best.

  48. mofo says – reply to this


    48

    Of course he doesn't drink, he's totally jacked up on COCAINE. Reading that quote is proof enough!

    I've seen many pics of him where his eyes are BULGING out of his head, which is a side effect of the "fairy dust".

    He used to be such a good actor and now he's just a big ole cheeseball.

  49. Ari says – reply to this


    49

    More power to him. I think he's a good role model. I fall into drinking when I'm down and it messes me up. I hate US celebs who have no morals or shame. There should be more people like this chap.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    This guy is such a HOTTIE!!!

    YUMMMMMMMMM!!



  55. 55

    Okay:

    1. FUNNIEST PICTURE EVERRRR. I am still laughing.

    2. HENRY CAVILL is WAYYYY hotter in The Tudors and in life than anyone.

    3. JRM's acting isn't all that bad, but his looks are a tad over-rated. Not saying he's ugly, just not all that.

  56. kffj says – reply to this


    56

    I think i like him even more.

    I hate when people lie so obviously. I was out in Cork with him the week after his mother died and he was completely wasted….And so rude to everyone around him, anyone who wasted their time coming over to talk to him got a grunt or a stare! He clearly thought he was better than everyone else. I understand his mother had just passed away, but there was no excuse for the way he treated the people around him that night. Cillian Murphy was lovely though.

    Is that makeup down the sides of his nose to make it look smaller? Jerk. Self-obsessed, incorehent and a terrible actor. He makes me sick.

    STFU about Jonathan. The only press you have on him is negative and it's fucking annoying. You keep asking about his eyes?? Well-they're fucking GORGEOUS!!!!! They glow, them gleam, they hypnotize. So he makes faces sometimes-big deal?! If I had a face that GORGEOUS, I'd make faces with it too. And as far as his drinking goes-SO?! I drink too, MANY people do, it's a release from the DUMBFUCKS one has to deal with on a daily basis and keeps me, personally, from murdering a whole bunch of motherfuckers-s fucking save it. He is EXQUISITE, a passionate actor and person, and far above any shit from you. And your little comment about him being a child molestor-FUCK OFF!! You are the one that likes those disgusting Jonas twats, and how young are they?! We are all allowed our crushes, but DON'T call him that! (if he ever looked you in the eye with those blue pools of yours, you'd know) until then-fucking stop!!!!!!!!
