In the extras for the DVD release of Gormenghast there's a brief interview with him about he identifies with Steerpike because Steerpike was obviously sexually abused as a boy by that rancid cook. It made me go hmm.... and in the extras for Titus Andronicus there's a scene of him reading scenes with all the other actors and my, god, he's tiny. Don't know about that boy, tho he's gorgeous.

By tiny, do you mean, in contrast to Ewan's Happy Penis in Velvet Goldmine?

Heh. I think chiqui is refering to the fact that he has a very slight build. Lean, mean, crazy-lovin' machine, that one. Unless of course, the cast of Titus Andronicus did the script read-through in the nude. That would change everything.

Mmm...nude Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Matthew Rhys...

I love love LOVE this man. I am not sure why--he is so androgynous, so borderline-creepy, so utterly STRANGE. And he makes me feel so dirty for some reason, like, absolutely FILTHY...but, in a good way. Velvet Goldmine is definitely like porn for me.
Do we think he might be gay...or half a gay?

Is that like being kinda pregnant?

I think he might be pansexual.

Heh. I think chiqui is refering to the fact that he has a very slight build.

And he's short- he's about 5' 7". Tiny little waif.

I've never been an Elvis Presley fan, but damnnnnm JRM looks so HOT in the previews for the Elvis miniseries. Velvet Goldmine was hot with the HoYay! but all the British punk rock costuming kind of muted the hotness for me.

I am definitely watching this show on Sunday! I just adore this guy.

I think he might be pansexual.

He certainly seems comfortable with everyone. He was only 19 when filming Velvet Goldmine; I think about all the boys around that age that I know. None of them would ever be as secure or comfortable enough to portray Brian Slade. Hell, one ex-bf couldn't even watch the movie!

I love this JRM quote about the job:

Everybody would think that my apprehension would be about these sex scenes, that I have to snog Ewan. That’s the last thing I’m worried about. It’s actually a perk – you know, he’s a very good-looking boy. Premiere, December 1998

Stupid question-what is "HoYay!"

It stands for Homoertoticism Yay! It's basically when you have homerotic undertones between two characters. Watch "Smallville" for a good example of this.

Oh, I see. I'm gonna use that term.
