Rhys Meyers Pays Tribute To Mother....

Movie star Jonathan Rhys Meyers paid tribute to his late mother with a touching eulogy at her funeral in Ireland on Friday (23Nov07).

The 30-year-old was tearful as he asked the crowd of mourners gathered in County Cork church to give his mother Geraldine Meyers-O'Keeffe a round of applause.

He told guests, "She was the best mum a son could ever have. It is a very sad time. At a time like this it is traditional to have a moment of silence.

"But anybody who knew my mother would know she hated silence. So I ask you all to stand and give her a round of applause."

Guests at the service included the Mission Impossible Iii star's girlfriend Reena Hammer and fellow Irishman Colin Farrell.

Meyers-O'Keeffe died unexpectedly on Tuesday (20Nov07).
