A quote as a New Year present. It's jrm talking about Velvet Goldmine:
Rhys Meyers, who also sings in the film, had doubts about his role too.
"Everybody would think that my apprehension would be about these sex scenes, that I have to snog Ewan," says the then-nineteen-year-old actor between takes. "That's the last thing I'm worried about. It's actually a perk -- you know, he's a very good-looking boy. [But] it's a difficult thing to do -- convince people that you're a rock star." His anxiety on the set is palpable: "I'm not happy with any of the stuff I've done up to now. I feel incredibly insecure -- I look in the mirror, and I've got blue hair and crazy makeup and crazy clothes and platforms."
