Jonathan Rhys Meyers has had 200 one-night stands.

The August Rush actor used to bed lots of different girls but gave up his promiscuous ways because he got ‘bored’ of sleeping with strangers.
He said: ‘I got bored of one-night stands when I was about 26. They were fun when I was young but now I’m 30 I think they’re meaningless and dull. I won’t say how many I’ve had it could be two, it could be 200.’
Jonathan also revealed he has one rule when it comes to sleeping with his female co-stars – don’t have sex with them on the first day of rehearsals.
He told New Woman magazine: ‘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.’
However, the single Irish star – who split from long-term girlfriend Reena Hammer a few months ago – also confessed he is a ‘selfish boyfriend’.
He added: ‘I think a woman wants a man to come over and fix their broken fence. I’m not very handy and I’m a selfish boyfriend, but I’m great at buying gifts. I bought my last girlfriend lots of shoes, including
Louboutins and Jimmy Choos.’
Jonathan, 30, is currently grieving the death of his mother Geraldine, 50, who passed away in Ireland’s Cork hospital last week.
Geraldine single-handedly raised the Match Point star after his father walked out on three-year-old Jonathan, his mother and his brother Alan, taking the star’s two elder brothers with him.
