This week's choice, from a suggestion, is Jonathan Rhys Meyers--best known for his portrayal of a young King Henry VIII in "The Tudors."
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers first gained notoriety for his lead role in Todd Haynes’ Velvet Goldmine (1998), a surreal examination of 1970s glam rock in which he portrayed a sort of fictional hybrid of David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Meyers gave captivating performances in several controversial and little-seen films including Ang Lee’s Ride with the Devil(1999) and the screen adaptation of Prozac Nation (2000) before receiving a profile boost in the British hit Bend it Like Beckham (2004). Following an Emmy and Golden Globe nominated performance as “Elvis” (2005) in the miniseries of the same name, Rhys Meyers began to appear in high profile American features Match Point (2005) and Mission: Impossible III (2006). For his challenging work portraying voracious King Henry VIII in Showtime’s “Tudors” (2007) Rhys Meyers received his second Golden Globe nomination.
He was chosen by Cosmopolitan Magazine as one of the 100 Most Sexy Men In The World, in 1998. He also became the face of the Versace men's collection of Autumn/Winter 2006 and Spring 2007, as well as of the new fragrance of Hugo Boss.
