Jonathan Rhys Meyers Gets Honored By Trinity College
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was given the Honorary Patronage award from the Trinity College Philosophical Society during a special ceremony in Dublin, Ireland yesterday afternoon. While I’m not entirely clear on what qualified JRM for this honor, you can tell by the look on his face that he was thrilled to be honored so by this award:
Speaking on behalf of the Trinity College Philosophical Society, president Barry Devlin was quoted as saying, “We look for people who we feel represent the spirit and values embodied by former pioneering Irish people like Oscar Wilde. We are delighted to present this award to such a list of diverse and talented individuals such as Jonathan Rhys Myers.” At least JRM was able to control his ecstatic glee long enough to pose for these photos. Er, yes, I guess congrats are in order as well.

OK, so as much as I luv JRM, I have to admit that he looks kind of Creepy McCreeperson in that first photo.

Whoa.

He always looks like a serial killer. I don’t get a vibe that he’s the happiest person.

So true…he does have a creepy vibe, but I love him.

JRM’s eyes and lips. Nuff said.

He looks like a wax figure…or like he just pooped in his pants and is terrified to move.
Either way, I totes dig him. He’s a faboo actor…and quite tasty-looking at times. :D

OMG! These pictures of JRM are too funny. His facial expression almost makes it seem like he’d rather be picking up dead rats out of a sewer!

I love me some JRM!!! I had read that he was getting this award on JRMFansite.org…and who cares if he didn’t look smile…I still love him the same!

I love him, and I love his intensity, but he REALLY needs to lose the pornstache. It takes him from intense to creepy molester.

Rumor has it (”rumor” meaning my friend who has worked with him on The Tudors), JRM is a total ass in person. Meanie McMeanerson.
Napoleon complex, perhaps?

I love him and he’s hot and all but his eyes scare me!!!

he looks like a living wax-sculpture

I think a patronage award is given to donors.

I’ve always, still and forever will love JRM! But I do agree he can look scary at times. My friend always says he has snake eyes, which is not how I would describe it :P. He should smile more in photos, that will deffo take away from his usual cold stare. I don’t think the stache is too bad. I hated it the first time I saw promos for the second season of The Tudors, but this is kinda different I think. Me likey :D. Congrats Jonathan! (Apparently I’m also more happy for you than you are for yourself :P)
