Jonathan Rhys Meyers @ Mother’s Funeral

Jonathan Rhys Meyers bid his mother, Geraldine O’Keeffe, a final farewell at her funeral on Friday at St. Joseph’s Church in Glanmire, County Cork, Ireland. Mrs. Meyers O’Keeffe passed away on Tuesday morning at Mercy University Hospital following a short illness.

The Tudors actor was accompanied to the funeral by his girlfriend Reena Hammer. Fellow Irish actor Colin Farrell was also in attendance, seen embracing Jonathan (pictured below). Irish actor Cillian Murphy was also reportedly there. His flowers and card can be seen below.

JRM’s father John O’Keeffe and his three brothers Alan, Jamie and Paul, heard Priest Noel O’Sullivan describe Mrs. Meyers O’Keeffe as a “loving, caring mother, who would go out of her way to help people.”

Our deepest condolences go out to Jonathan and his friends and family.

There’s just no call for this - yes, he’s an actor, but right now he’s a lad who’s just lost his mam. He’s grieving, and he doesn’t need his very private life - and this is private - splashed over the papers. Pictures of him out on the street were one thing, but this is sick.

Good to hear he had friends around him there, but that’s not our business to see it.

is it really necessary to picture people in such moments? doesn’t matter if celebrity’s or “normal” people.
it’s not fair, is it?

I agree that the paparazzi shouldn’t have been there. And this “brief illness” and death of his mother may explain his recent fall off the wagon.

There should be a law against the paps being at a family funeral. It’s really disrespectful. Please take these pics down, Jared.

Ok, first of all, doesn’t anyone have enough deference to respect someone’s loss? Why are photographers picturing him at the funeral of his mother? Why is jared.com even posting these pictures? It’s pretty disgusting…

i still can’t get over it. this is disgusting!!!! please please show some respect, take the photos down.

what an outright invasion of privacy!!!!! unbelievable.

THE PICS STILL THERE , I GUESS YOU WON’T COME BACK IN THIS BLOG NOW; OOPS i FORGOT YOUR LIFE IS SO BORING THAT YOU WILL POST HERE AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN. HA!!!!!!!
JMR TAKE CARE.

I agree with those who said this is disgusting. Losing a parent is one of the worst things a person goes through in life. Even celebrities deserve privacy at times like this! These photos should have never been posted anywhere. Jared, first it was the rape story about Zahara, now this, I realize you are a celebrity blogger, but damn, these two ‘insensitive’ and distasteful posts in one week?? I’m quickly losing interest in visiting your site.

I didn’t want to even give the story a ‘hit’, I just read the headline and felt I had to post my opinion. I didn’t even look at the pics. Regardless of my contribution, I’m quickly losing my ‘celebrity lust’ in this age of the unbridled paparazzi. They are everywhere and it’s getting, well not getting, it IS way out of control. Something needs to be done. Some things should just be off limits. LIKE FUNERALS!!!!

Man, these pictures are so sad. I don’t think they should of posted these. He just looks like he is just in a days like he really isn’t there. Poor thing. I am feel bad for him and his family to lose to someone so special. I have him and his family in my prayers and thoughts.

Still here, you people are so hypocrite.
And again take care Jonatahan Rhys Meyer stay strong with your family and don’t go back boozing.
Colin is a nice man.

Paparazzi at his mother’s funeral is just disgusting.
Poor Jonathan, hope he’s okay.

pretty low taking photographs of someone at a funeral..possibly one of the hardest times in his life..and he has a lens starring at him.

Why would the paps be at the funeral? it just seems WRONG that they are snapping these photos… a funeral is a personal thing.

Anyways, my thoughts are with the family and I hope he mother may rest in peace. God bless.

I agree I don’t think the pap’s should be there at all

Jared,
I love your site, however, please refrain from posting photos of this disrespectful nature. We must show boundaries with the paps. Rise above the other sites which will post anything and everything.

hes a celebrity, its goes with the territory. If he wants privacy then quit the business and go on the dole. if you’re famous you dont have privacy, end of.

Damn, I think that’s pretty tacky for the Paps to be at his mom’s funeral. Somethings should be off limits and I would think this would qualify.

Someone posted asking Just Jared to show some class. Just Jared has NO class. The photos of Anna Nicole Smith with vomit everywhere were never taken down. Don’t bother asking him to remove these photos. He won’t. Because he is a greedy, sick fcuk. You b*tch Jared.

There are beautiful pictures of Colin on this funeral
JJ shows why they not?

why the **** were photographers there??

I’m really sorry for him, but how it is possible in this world that a person dares to take pictures of such a painful time for a human being? and for others to post it? God he is not buying ice cream or just walking on the street show some respect!

Yes, the paps are disgusting but we all know that they are always stooping to new lows. Jared is even lower than the paps because he is actually posting them… so Jared, you are a fcuking ass wipe.

I luv Jonathan. My prayers sent out to you.

Condolences to Jon. Blessings.

didi, yes, Jonathan is famous, but this isn’t HIS funeral. His mother wasn’t famous, and either are all his relatives and friends. The funeral is about the person who died, not a celebrity son. I feel sorry for him and for his entire family that stupid insensitive paps showed and and made a painful time even worse.

this is just cruel!

ahora si que no… ya te pasaste dejalo en paz aunque sea en un momento como ese… tu crees que lo hace sentir mejor estar rodeado de paparazzi?? en serio deberias respetar el dolor ajeno :(

Apparently it was only one photographer but I still think it was disrespectful.

I bet it must be annoying as heck to have people decide to come to your mom’s funeral with their cameras.
