Jonathan Reese Myers is a talented actor of Irish descent. He is a laureate of the Golden Globe Award for Andrei Konchalovsky's film "The Lion in Winter". In addition, the young man sings beautifully, and in several films his singles sound.

Childhood. Youth

The future actor was born in the capital of Ireland, Dublin. This happened in July 1977. Now he is thirty-eight years old.

Reese Myers' mother - Mary Geraldine - was a housewife and was raising children. Besides Jonathan, she had three more sons: Paul, Alan and Jamie.

Father was John O'Keefe. Because of his work, the family moved to Cork County.

Jonathan was born with a heart condition. Doctors did not give practically any chance of life, and even more so for recovery. Parents, frightened by the news, baptized the baby on the same day. Surprisingly doctors, the treatment had the desired effect quite quickly. By the age of eight months, the boy had caught up with his peers both by weight and by development.

When the baby was three years old, his parents divorced. And the brothers were separated. Jonathan and Alan stayed with their mother, and the other two began to live with their grandmother along the lines of their father.

Perhaps this family drama influenced the further formation of the young man. At school, he learned badly, constantly skipped classes and was a real bully. As a result, he was expelled from school.

Who knows what would be the life of Reese Myers, if one day he accidentally noticed in the store producer David Patnom. Jonathan came to the test and liked the commission, but the role was given to another. But he still starred in a small commercial. Having received a decent amount of money just for the day of work, Jonathan decided to become an actor.

The first popularity comes to the actor after the film "Velvet Goldmine", where he plays bisexual Slade. His partners were Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale. The game in this film was celebrated by the British Screen Actors Guild, nominating Jonathan for the award.

Despite the fact that Reese-Myersa was noticed by both spectators and filmmakers, he has not yet gained real fame. During this period he had a lot of work, but the one who was ready to reveal his potential, has not happened yet.
