Crush object: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, actor.- Why we like him: Those smoldering Irish eyes are shining.
- What he's known for: Intensity, both on and off screen.
- When did we first notice him: As the assassin of Michael Collins.
- Gay for pay: His Bowie-esque glam rocker in Velvet Goldmine.
- Other choice roles: The dreamy soccer coach in Bend It Like Beckham, a killer tennis player (in more ways then one) in Match Point, a randy King Henry VIII in The Tudors.
- Awards on his mantel: Golden Globe for playing another king in Elvis, Chopard Trophy from Cannes for Match Point.
- Side job: The "face" of Hugo, Hugo Boss' fragrance for men.
- Bet you didn't know: Was kicked out of school -- for good -- at age 16.
- Can we quote you on that: "You get on a set and immediately people are wiping your ass for you, and nobody tells you when you're being an asshole. I'm sure nobody working for Tom Cruise would turn around and say, 'Tom, don't do that anymore because you're a dickhead to do that'. Actually, he might quite like it."
- And another thing: "A lot of men are very uptight, but I don't distinguish between male and female beauty. Beauty is beauty."
- Where we can see him next: Wooing Keri Russell in this month's August Rush, hypnotizing us as Mandrake the Magician (due next year).
- Where you can see more of him right now: In this fan-made video (and yes, that's Hugh Grant singing).
