Jonathan Rhys Meyers and girlfriend heiress Reena Hammer can’t get enough of the reality show America’s Next Top Model. They tune in every Wednesday, and never miss an episode.

But why do they love each other?

“She’s very smart, she’s very beautiful and very responsible,” he tells me. “I am different.”

According to his August Rush director Kirsten Sheridan, Jonathan would make a great dad.

“He had such an emotional response to the idea of playing a father,” she tells me.

Is the 30-year-old Irishman ready for kids?

“I’m not so sure about that,” he admits. “Maybe.”

Catch Jonathan as King Henry VIII in The Tudors, which returns to Showtime for its second season on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
