Jonathan joined Stuart Townsend and many others to form a human harp on the Hill of Tara in protest against the M3 motorway which is destroying the ancient landscape and any remains found in its path.
They were in for another A-list surprise when the not unpleasant shape of actor and Hugo Boss ‘face’ Jonathan Rhys Meyers also appeared on the sacred ground. The actor, who has more recently been travelling through time to the era of the Tudors for a TV series, was able to put the authoritarian skills he developed as Henry VIII to good use as he roused the Tara campaigners.
Addressing the crowd, he said it was not just the motorway that was horrible, but the subsequent development it would bring. The actor, who was born in Cork and brought up in Dublin, said he appreciated the untouched landscape that remained in Ireland far more since he moved to the US. He said he would like his grandchildren to be able to feel the same way.

He just went up a few notches in my estimation... Wink
