Rhys Meyers Tempted By Pop Career

Irish acting heart-throb Jonathan Rhys Meyers is considering a music career when he has finished acting, after wowing record label bosses playing Elvis PRESLEY in a new TV movie.

Studio heads were stunned by the hunky star's take on The King in ELVIS - and while he is tempted to take up their offers, he isn't ready to quit acting just yet.

He says, "I was offered two record deals in the US but it would not be really right at the moment. The idea of being a pp star in the future is tempting."
