Picspam!
I promised vertigoxcured that I'd picspam the ot3 and since today is Jonathan Rhys Meyers' birthday I figured now was as good a time as any.
So, we all know my otp is Ryan/Brendon.
I know, it's a highly guarded secret.
Well, while in Anaheim for the Panic show vertigoxcured and I, along with jzbell, came up with the most crack pairing ever. You take the beauty of Ryan/Brendon and add a hot, sexy Irishmen.
Intro: Jonathan Rhys Meyers. You probably first saw him in this little movie called Bend it like Beckham.
My favorite movie that he's in, and this is where our entire idea started, is Velvet Goldmine. If you haven't seen this I really don't know how you're in bandom because, basically, this is the love story of two rock stars in the seventies.
This movie not only has JRM but also Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale. Ryan has totally jacked off to this movie. You just know he has an uber crush on Brian Slade.
Now reasons Jonathan Rhys Meyers is perfect for Brendon and Ryan.
He's slightly androgynous.
He is tiny.
He sings and plays guitar.
He camwhores.
Other times he just looks like a vampire.
Apparently he likes gambling and cigars...
He looks good in eyeliner
Or any type of makeup.
He wears scarves.
and he's a goofball.
But generally, he's just a hotass.
There are other reasons this pairing works, like the fact that Jonny's mom was an alcoholic and that his dad left when he was three taking two of his brothers with him. Or that he's the oldest of four boys and was kicked out of school at sixteen. Mostly, I just think it would be pretty and everyone should write it for me.
In conclusion, have some JRM quotes and some videos.
Fashion magazines have gushed that Rhys Meyers is jarringly handsome, and he’s even been likened to a work of art sculpted by Michelangelo. Whatever, says the actor. He claims his look is basically thrown together, but he also fesses up to being enough of a style hound to occasionally spend a couple grand on crocodile-skin cowboy boots. “My own style really comes from not liking to spend a lot of money on clothes, and I pretty much wear whatever I want,” says the actor, who names John Galliano and DSquared as being among his favorite designers. “If I see something that everybody else is wearing, I’m more likely not to wear it. But I like things that are streamlined and fitted. For me, I find going out into the world is like combat every day, so I kind of dress for defense and attack.” Given his knack for speaking his mind, that’s probably a smart idea.
“Somebody once said to me: ‘Jonny, you’ll either end up sweeping the streets or owning them.’”
Boy George on “Bend It Like Beckham” from The Sunday Express, April 14, 2002:
“Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays the football coach and I remember meeting him before he appeared in Velvet Goldmine. It was at my chum Phillip’s flat and he said rather cheekily: ‘It’s great meeting people like you - it’s good research for my next role.’ He is very good in the film, much better than he was as a fake Bowie. He is what you would call a real pretty boy and has lips you could lounge on while being fed grapes.”
Velvet Goldmine
Random part of August Rush. You can watch the whole thing on youtube.
Playing the flute for little Chinese children. No, seriously.
Okay, now everyone go write porn about him for me.
