| Name change: 'Johnny O'Keefe' doesn't have the star quality of 'Jonathan Rhys Meyers' Source : Independent.ie By Aoife Anderson Tuesday November 13 2007  IRISH actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has revealed he changed his surname because he thinks his real name, Johnny O'Keefe, is boring.The 30-year-old Cork star decided to adopt the name Rhys-Meyers at the very beginning of his acting career to make himself sound more interesting. The Tudors heart-throb said the two different names enabled him to separate his work life from his personal life. "Jonathan Rhys-Meyers was the name I wanted the world to know me by, and not my birth name," he said. "I wanted to create almost this different person, which I suppose doesn't really exist. "People think it's all premieres and parties and glamour. And I suppose Jonathan Rhys-Meyers has some of that. "But Johnny actually sits at home, plays his guitar badly and hangs out with his friends. "It's good that there's a line for me to draw," he added. ... The actor also revealed that, if he wasn't lighting up the big screen, he would have like to have become good enough at playing the guitar to become a musician. "I play music -- I just never wanted to do it as a job," he said. "My father is a musician, my brothers are musicians. "But if I had pushed it, I am sure I could have learned to be a bit better, to promote it," he added. |
