Talk:Jonathan Rhys Meyers

message: I understand he gets the Meyers name from his mother and thus, technically, he cannot have "changed" his name, as the article says, to Meyers as Meyers would be on his birth certificate. Nonetheless, where does the Rhys part come from?
:"Meyers" is his mother's maiden name.  His birth certificate presumable has his surname as "O'Keeffe", since that is his father's last name (and mother's married name).  I have never heard any explanation for the "Rhys" part, though. CKarnstein 04:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Where does the Rhys come from?

message: I have removed the "Private Life" section.  It consisted of a single sentence tying him to Toni Collette, but their relationship ended seven years ago.  Rhys Meyers has since dated several other women and Collette has married, so I think it is a bit misleading to focus on their past romance here.  Someone could write a more up-to-date account of his love life, but I don't think this would add anything worthwhile to the article.  As Rhys Meyers is unmarried and his love life has not been the subject of much public interest, I don't see any point in mentioning it here. CKarnstein 05:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with you, I found that piece of information interesting and it surprised me. Articles should be expanded upon, not deleted, I kindly invite you to expand on that part since you seem to be quite knowledgeable in that area. Gryffindor 00:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Private Life 

message: Does that information about his penis really have to be here? And secondly, why would it be under "early life"? Also, Bending it like Beckham is referenced twice, but with two different years (picture caption: 2003, text: 2002).

thread_title: Inconsistency & unnecessary info

message: I have restored the "Bend it Like Beckham" photo that used to be at the top of the article.  It seems to have been removed accidentally by an anonymous user a few edits back. CKarnstein 06:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I know that on here he quotes saying that he is currently not dating anyone; yet in two recent publications (Marie Clarie and OK! Magazine) it claims that he is dating "someone" and Reena Hammer. Confusion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Diet (talk • contribs) 01:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion about relationships 

message: The articel claims he was born in County Cork, but then moved to County Cork a year after his birth.  Where was he born?  Did he move within the county after a year?  Any information about what town? omnijohn 20:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It's not obvious how to pronounce "Rhys".  (Is it like rice, reese, riss?  I don't know.)  It would be nice if someone who knows how it's pronounced added this to the article somewhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.166.47.147 (talk) 15:10, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: I removed the part about him being best known for "Androgenous appearance". Based on the cited article this seems to be more a directorial, artsy, film school kind of thing that transfers to the screen. He looks like a man to me and anyone with eyes. He looks a little queer, but not at all like a woman. If you don't know him from any of his work, you probably won't know him as "that androgenous looking guy", you just won't know him. 67.103.26.174 (talk) 06:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Androgeny? 

message: I removed this line from Early Life:
:They had spoken every day for several years.
It's not cited, it doesn't specify who's talking, and doesn't seems to add much to to the paragraph. (Maybe instead something cited about how he's still close to his brothers...) --Daev (talk) 17:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early life: spoken every day 

message: I haven't been able to find consistent information about the correct spelling of his birth name and his mother's maiden name so far. Where can we find reliable information about this?--Sylvia Anna (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  O'Keefe or O'Keeffe, Myers or Meyers 

message: Is his surname Rhys-Meyers or Rhys Meyers? Could it be standardised through the article, or a note added explaining that he is known by both? Njál 01:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
