For my latest celebrity news and gossip on Jonathan Rhys Meyer, he is not only a movie star, but also a television star as well. His tv show The Tudors, in which he plays the role of Henry VIII, can be seen on Showtime, but his celebrity gossip web site indicates that the June season finale only drew in 465,000 viewers, which makes it not a very popular show. His movie career however is going strong. His breakout role was in the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham, which any celebrity gossip blog fan would say that this heartthrob  has been going non-stop ever since. He has starred in a number of independent and Hollywood films. Some of them I must say that I have never heard of like Tesseract or Octane for instance. Movies that I have heard of include: The Emperor's Wife and Alexander. Jonathan says that he is a much better actor now than when he was 18, and that is not celebrity gossip, but the truth according to the actor. I was quite surprised to learn that he is very insecure about himself. He considers the most difficult aspect of his acting career to be seen as a handsome sex symbol, because he doesn't think he looks so hot. My latest celebrity news and gossip on this fine actor has him set in January to begin filming Mandrake, in which he will play an escape artist who, working with the U.S. Treasury Service, uses his powers of illusion to fight crime.  This young man has a very promising future ahead of him. He is quite a fine actor, who believes he has a lot more to offer along the way.
