Rhys Meyers: 'Sleeping With Leading Lady Spoils Chemistry'

Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers vows never to bed his movie co-stars - because it ruins the onscreen sexual chemistry.

Meyers, who has starred in Mission: Impossible Iii with Keri Russell and actress Toni Colette in Velvet Goldmine, is looking for a girlfriend outside of the industry.

He says, "It's best not to bed your leading lady on the first day of rehearsals. Especially if your roles require sexual chemistry. Sleeping together spoils it. Maybe that's why I haven't dated an actress for nine years."
