Gratuitous Irish Hottie Face Off: Jonathan Rhys Meyers vs. Cillian Murphy

Posted by Alexandra C. | Friday March 16, 201231 comments


In honour of St. Patrick's Day, we're bringing a bit of Irish luck to all the chicks with an Irish Gratuitous Hottie Face Off! Now, before we start, we need to do some preliminary research, which means we'll need to hear the accents first, am I right? So, check out Cillian Murphy talk about the film Inception, over here and Jonathan Rhys Meyers talking about the show The Tudors over here. Now, after those accents, you may be a bit hot n' bothered so feel free to take a small breather. 

We'll put these two gorgeous lads to the test this week, through three rounds and decide which one truly deserves to be called 'The Hottest Irish of All Time'! 

Round 1: Which guy is the blue eyed babe?


Cillian Murphy (left): Cillian has really, big blue swimming pool type eyes, but I can't concentrate on them because, seriously guys, can I please take a second to point out the cheekbones on this man? They're bananas! I wish I had those cheekbones. Back to the eyes though, they're definitely intense, almost too intense...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers (right): Oh Jonathan, your eyes are probably in the top three on my list of your favourite features. I mean, your whole face is like number one but those eyes are way too hot.

Winner: This one was kind of a toughie, these boys both have piercing blue eyes but I'm going to go with Jonathan for this round. His eyes just give me the chills!
 
Round 2: Who'd we rather have play our on screen boyfriend in a rom-com?


Cillian: I saw Cillian in that movie Red Eye with Rachel McAdams what seems like forever a go and in it, he plays this crazy stalker psycho so seeing him as a leading man is honestly a bit unnerving. He seems like he might be a fun guy though, I mean, you've got to have a sense of humor to play a crazy psycho right? I feel like he's kind of an artsy guy too and he'd be the type to give you quirky and sweet gifts.
 
Jonathan: Jonathan plays King Henvry VIII on The Tudors and let me tell you, I would not want to date him. However, Jonathan does offer a selection of very smoldering looks, oh my. 


Winner: Mmmm, while Jonathan has the classically hot looks, I think I`m going to go with Cillian here. I feel like he'd offer a little something different and he'd be a fab bf!

Round 3: Who has the better hair?
 

Cillian: I actually love Cillian's hair when it's long and shaggy. He's been wearing it cut pretty short recently though and I can't say I'm a fan. The longer hair gives him kind of an indie vibe that I'm digging.

Jonathan: Jonathan obviously goes to the best for his hair because this person knows what works for him! The short and spiky hair is a bit 90's but he's making it work for him.

Winner: Argh! This one too competitive and I can't decide and I refuse to, no one can make me! 

I'm leaving this one up to you chicks, which Irish guy do you like better? Who would you chose as a winner? Or maybe there is another Irish man you've got your eye on? Leave a comment and let us know!

They're both a little too creepy for me, but I'd I had to choose, I'd go with johnathan. When it comes to drop-dead gorgeous Irishmen, my pick is now, and forever, Colin Farrell. YUM.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers for SURE. He is rugged and cleans up well. James Bond material? I think so!

Jonathan all the way! I watched The Tudors and while Henry VIII was quite the horny jerk, JRM played him soooo sexy :) I know I certainly would have had trouble resisting if I was a lady in waiting if Henry had looked anything like JRM!
