Interview by Ben Machell
THE TIMES MAGAZINE
Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, 36, most recently starred in the NBC drama Dracula. Having won a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his role as Elvis Presley in the biographical miniseries Elvis, he was nominated for playing King Henry VIII in the The Tudors. He splits his time between London and Los Angeles
Just about anything can keep me awake at night
It could be a film I just watched or the disorganisation of my sock drawer. I’m not a great sleeper
I should’ve given women a wide birth till I was at least 25
They take up an awful lot of your time when you’re starting out and should be concentrating on your job. Instead, you’re chasing some hot young actress round the set who has absolutely no interest in you at all because the guy playing the lead has already been in three films and you’re just some 18-year-old scrapper from Ireland
Any job that pays well is going to be difficult
Trying to command all the different emotions first thing on a Monday morning? It’s bloody hard. There are no easy gigs in acting
Just because you’re rich, it doesn’t mean you can’t be naive
Somebody told me recently that they’d had dinner with the CEO of a large investment bank in Geneva. And it had to be explained that movies are actually edited. He couldn’t understand the concept of shooting, stopping, editing, changing camera, etc. He just thought it all happened in one go
When you hit your thirties, the mistakes you were making in you twenties don’t look so cute
It suddenly becomes very uncool to wake up on the floor of a bar. You’re getting too long in the tooth for all that
We think that immediate success is the norm now
But to be successful in anything, you need to experience. And to have experience, you normally have to have failed a bunch of times
Nobody blogs about carpenters
I work in an industry that comes with a kind of Big Brother level of hyper-scrutiny regarding what we do. Actors can be held up as role models, but we’re not necessarily meant to be that. We are actually meant to be human
There’s something almost Buddhist about cleaning your house
I find it very therapeutic, almost meditative. It’s like cleaning your head
Bad reviews will always feel like a slap in the face
I remember having a conversation with Colin Farrell one night about you can get a thousand of the most wonderful reviews, and then The Times gives you a bad one and it’s the only thing on your mind
Men will come to blows over women, money and sport
If they’re chasing the same trophy, basically. But they get over it quite quickly. Women will still hate someone who pulled their hair at school 30 years ago
An Irish character is very different from an English character
Woody Allen asked if I’d give my character in Match Point an Irish accent rather than an English one. I shouldn’t have done it; it never felt quite right. For a start, there just aren’t any Irish professional tennis players. But it made me realise that we have an entirely different way of speaking, of seeing the world, to the English. Unless you know the lyric of their language, writing an Irishman is impossible
People think I’m out partying the whole time
The reality is that I hardly ever leave my house. The other day, my dad was reading a tabloid and saw a photo that was supposed to be me in a nightclub. And he said “But weren’t you with me that night? And, um, isn’t your hair 3in longer than that?”
I’m terrible at golf
Absolutely awful. I consider it a badge of honour
