It’s kinda weird but I think it happens because of all the flashes from the cameras because he can do normal eyes…so I think it’s just a reaction too the flashes.

The Tudors sucked big time. Main leads are miscast. No way does JRM work as Henry VIII. And the Boleyn girl - what a crappy portrayal. Just a history soap. I think Danielle Steele must have written it. It certainly had little to do with real history.

JRM is scary with his buggy eyes and he isn’t much of an actor. His Irish accent kept coming through in the Tudors. Big joke.

Well, there are historic inaccuracies and you’d be silly not to acknowledge it, and I can understand how that can make it an unenjoyable viewing experience for some. It reminds me of reviews about Memoirs of a Geisha from big fans of the book.

However, I am a fan of period movies and shows, and I wish I’d caught “Rome” before it was shut down due to monetary issues. But I don’t want things that blatantly suck either. I’m sure just the story of Henry VIII fascinates me more than anything and I just enjoy the fact that it’s been brought to the screen. It serves its purpose with all its “soap operaness” for me–to entertain.

Gosh his eyes freaks me out so much!!*shivers*

Dude’s got some serious Manson lamps going on there.

I use to think he was hot, but now every time i see him in films i think of these pictures …. he looks like a creep

what is it with people saying things like “asian fetish” can’t you just like people for who they are?

posessed much?

i thought he broke up with his girlfriend and moved out of the house they shared???

omg, thats so scary!

i thought he broke up with her and moved out??

that’s a sexy dress. u can see the nipples & everything! :lol:

His girlfriend’s face is very ugly. She’s really strange looking.

sure, the tudors is aimed more at trash culture who want to feel like they’re watching something intelligent & historical than it is to thinking viewers, but the costumes are spectacular and sometimes it’s pretty entertaining with its “soap”-factor. JRM is scary however.

Jonathan Rhys Meyer Is soooooooo sexy!!!!!!!!!
He can bulge his eyes as much as he wants…I’m not scared at all

ps. I really like Reena dress…can it be a Lancetti?

he’s hot….don’t like the faces he makes but i think it’s just him making fun of the photographers and refusing to give them good pix of him. he and his girlfriend have been together for quite a while now. i don’t think she’s pretty either but she is very rich (well, at least her daddy is). tudors is meant to be entertaiing not educational. so you watch, admire the costumes and the pretty people and remember how it all REALLY went down on your own time. it’s a t.v. show, people!

STOP IT WITH THE EYES MAN!!!!

I don’t care if he likes to bulge eyes like that on pics (I think he does it on purpose or because of flashes), he’s HOT as hell. A very talented actor, who totally deserved the awards and a very sexy, handsome guy. I love him, freaky eyes or not!

“beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” so if he thinks that his gf is beautiful, then let it be cos its a very subjective issues.. like me.. i think my bf is so hot n sexy.. who cares if people think he looks like jon rhys meyers..hahahaha (just kidding with that part) but he(my bf) is definately hot!

he is very handsome but his eyes are really wierd……he’s probably a drug addict!!!

Reena’s dress is nice but she is too young to be wearing it. The dress would look nice on a woman who is late 30s, early 40s. Plus, she slouches.
