Rhys Meyers Buries Anne Boleyn...

Golden Globe winning US TV period drama 'The Tudors' was back at its spiritual home last week when the huge production took over Dublin's historic Christ Church. All good if you're Jonathan Rhys Meyers' King Henry VIII. Not so good if you're Natalie Dormer's Anne Boleyn...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers sure cuts a sway in thigh-high-boots, gold chains and a leather cod-piece. But enough about his personal life. Boom. Boom. Did you know he's back filming the third series of The Tudors around Ireland at the moment? Huzzah! More work for our cash strapped acting community. Well, Fair City can't feed everyone folks.

And yes we were down at the film set last week, handily right beside our Temple Bar HQ. But we only managed to get a few long distance shots off of our Jonny Boy as he snook-out for a wee puff between takes. We also got pictures of him having a cigarette. Boom. Boom. And trice, Boom. If only his big lump of a bodyguard would have got out of the way we'd have gotten you better pix loyal readers. Outta way big fella.

James Frain

Whilst mooching about down there we spotted a couple of familiar faces hanging about the Christ Church set that we recognized instantly... Namely James Frain, who plays Thomas Cromwell, Irish actor Gerard McSorley and sexy UK actress Charlotte Salt. We mean sexy in a pure way of course.

Charlotte Salt

Now we're not too sure what everyone's role is and what individual parts they are all playing on The Tudors coz there literally is a cast of hundreds. And IMDB isn’t coming up with the goods... All we really know is that Rhys Meyers shags lots of busty wenches and then chops their heads off while looking all pouty and distant into the camera. What? He gives good pouty and distant. It's his thing.

Gerard McSorley

On the day in question that we were on set (we say 'on set' but really we were just poking a camera through the railings), the cast and crew were about to film the funeral scene of Anne Boleyn, who, if we remember rightly was played by Natalie Dormer - the hottest woman to ever don a corset. Annnd, she can almost out-pout Jonny-the-lips. We say 'almost'.

Gerry Lundberg (Publicist)

We couldn't get much more info out of The Tudors' on-call publicist Gerry Lundberg - but from what we could ascertain, they were filming a funeral, a wedding AND a Christening all in the one day... Well, that King Henry was a busy chap! Marry them, get them pregnant, and chop their heads off... Like who hasn't had a few relationships like that.

Tudors Cast Members

We don't have much more to tell you other than the whole Tudors production has moved somewhere else and left the grounds of Christ Church. But if you happen to be one of the many cast members or just happen to spot them shooting around Dublin, DO drop us an email. We'd appreciate the tip-off.

Why? Well, that's simple... We want more shots of JRM in his kinky boots. Side Note: Hasn't Jonny got a very small sword?
