Jonathan Rhys Meyers thinks soap operas are career damaging
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is baffled by Sir Ian McKellen's decision to appear in British soap opera Coronation Street, because he's convinced taking a guest role in a TV series would be "damaging" to his glittering career. The Mission: Impossible star believes a role on the small screen is not a "proper job", and would never take up such an opportunity. He says:
"I'll watch Footballer's Wives though I'd never consider a role on it as it would be very career-damaging. "People would think, 'Why the f**k are you doing that? Can't you get a proper job?'"
