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.

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.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested Sunday for public drunkenness and breach of the peace at Dublin Airport.

The 30-year-old Irish actor was confronted twice by police over his “erratic, abusive” behavior at an airport gate and at a desk of the British airline BMI, on which he was planning to fly to London.

“I gave up drinking a few years ago, and this is the first time I’ve spent time in my country trying not to drink,” Jonathan Rhys said in an October 2006 interview. “I would never drink again. It is hard to avoid. But listen, you do what you want to do. I don’t want to do that. I want my career, and you can’t really do that and be successful on the screen.”

On Brad Pitt: “Let’s not kid ourselves—this business is about being good-looking. Look, Brad Pitt is an incredible actor, but do you think he’d be a famous movie star if he didn’t look like that? Come on!”

On Leonardo Dicaprio: “[Leonardo DiCaprio] was successful very young, was a party boy, took two years off, and then became this major Hollywood player. Right now I can get a $5 million film green-lit, not a $100 million film.”

On being a narcissist: “Part of being a narcissist is being terribly insecure. If I wasn’t so insecure about myself, I wouldn’t work as hard as I do. I am constantly seeking approval.”

On staying out of the limelight: “You know why I stay out of the limelight? I always think there will be that time that people will find out that I’m crap at what I do. I think they will figure out I’m crap. Doesn’t everybody have that feeling?”

On what Jonathan Rhys Meyers bellows during the interview: “P***! I want p****! P****! P****!”

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Reena Hammer show that they’re still going strong at the premiere of his film August Rush during day 3 of the 2007 Rome Film Festival on Saturday in Rome, Italy. Snuggling and kissing galore!

JRM, 30, and Reena reportedly ended their on-off relationship in early 2007 but it looks like things are definitely back on!

Question: Why does JRM always do the bulgy eye thing on the red carpet? Is it “his” joke?
