Jonathan Rhys Myers (Ass)

I just saw August Rush last night. The story was preposterous, but the film was beautifully done. Wonderful music, fine acting, and gorgeous cinematography. You just have to ignore the absurdity of the plot and enjoy the film on other levels.

Jonathan performs some of the songs in the film (as he did in Velvet Goldmine) and I thought he was great. I don't normally buy film soundtracks, but this one I'm going to get.

I know he is 30 Meniscus, that is what I mean, a bit young for me. I am 45. I am in no way putting him down for his partying or age, at 30 I had my run-ins with drunk and disorderly (involving a night on the town with a leather daddy, fabu drag queen, a circuit queen and a wanna be model, but that is another story). I'm just a bit old for those "fun times".

He is a talented actor, gorgeous, relatively young, and successful, I say Jonathan, you go! And though he did just have a bit of an public incident recently, it isn't like he is vying for the spotlight ala Lohan, Spears or Hilton. I'm glad his publicist isn't immediately stating that he is in rehab and taking care of his "problem". Hell, if every 30 year old who got drunk and a little obnoxious in an airport had to go to rehab, there wouldn't be any beds left for the ones who really need it.
