Frequently Asked Questions


What's Jeremy's full name?

Jeremy Philip Northam

How old is Jeremy?

He was born December 1, 1961. You do the math.

How tall is Jeremy?

6' or 6'2" depending on who you ask.

Is Jeremy single? Has he ever been married? Does he have any children?

Yes, no, and no.

Does that mean I have a chance?

No, but you can still dream.

Well, what's his type?

According to an article in the September 2002 Cosmo he says, "[Someone with] a good sense of humour and a certain kind of boldness; mischief, cheekiness, naughtiness. I’m attracted to people who have good looks, but how I would define those would be very hard to say."

But I still wonder if I'd be compatible with Jeremy.

Really? I couldn't tell you. But you can check if your biorhythms match his here:

Is Jeremy Mr. Knightley?

Where can I write to Jeremy?

c/o Harriet Robinson
ICM
Oxford House
76 Oxford St
London, W1D 1BS
United Kingdom

Will he write back to me personally?

Good question. I don't know. He has a tendency these days to only send a generic letter with an autographed picture. And that's at best. He said in a interview a couple of years ago that he's hopeless at replying to fanmail. But you can always try.

Does Jeremy have an e-mail address?

I'm going to take a venture and say no. As of November 20, 2002, Jer doesn't own a computer and doesn't even know what a screensaver is. His internet-phobia has been well publicized in articles over the years as well.

Are there any biographies written about Jeremy?

Unfortunately, no. But you're welcome to start one. I'll be one of the first ones to buy it.

Does JN support any charities?

Yep. JN is a patron of the International Performers Aid Trust, which purpose is to provide support for performers and relieve poverty around the world. For more information about the charity and/or to make a donation, please visit their site.

Where can I find juicy gossip about Jeremy?

Jeremy tends to be a very private individual, so there's not a lot of gossip that runs through the press mills. However, joining the Jeremy Northam YahooGroup is one of the best ways to get the lastest Jeremy news career-wise and otherwise. It's also a great support group for fans that have severe Northamitis.

Where can I find Jeremy's rare movies?

A good place to start is your online video retailers such as Amazon or Reel. If you can' find it there eBay or Half.com are good options as well. Also check your local libraries. If all else fails you can ask another Jeremy fan.

Are eBay, Half.com and other similar auction sites safe places to buy?

Depends. If you go to Amazon.com and buy through their auctions, your bids are protected and insured through Amazon. Otherwise, it's always a good idea to check the feedback rating of any seller. That's usually a good gauge as to the quality of the seller.

Is Jeremy nude in any of his movies?

Now why would you want to know that? Yes, his movie characters have sometimes been put in situations where nudity is required. Which movies are they? I'm not telling. You'll just have to discover the good ol' fashioned way and watch all his movies and be surprised! You may even come to enjoy his acting abilities along the way!

Was Jeremy a model at one point in his career?

Jeremy did do some modeling for the Saks Fifth Avenue men's line several years ago. He's also appeared in Glamour and Gotham magazines.

I would love Jeremy to read poetry to me. His voice is so sexy!

Well, believe it or not, he can read to you every night. He was on several poetry books released by Penguin audiobooks including Kipling, Keats, Hardy, Donne, Byron, Coleridge, and Blake. Some of them are hard to find but several can be found at Amazon, UK.

I heard Jeremy sings?

Yes, he's a man of many talents. He sang whilst in drama school in restaurants, early in his career in musicals at regional theatres, and then didn't sing professionally until his role of Ivor Novello in the 2001 film Gosford Park. He sang five songs which can also be heard on the Gosford Park Soundtrack.

Has Jeremy done anything other than acting?

Jeremy has said in many interviews and articles acting was always his first and foremost interest. But he has said the following about other prospects:

"The bit that interests me [about directing] is working with the actors. I don't understand about those decisions where somebody comes up and goes, ‘It's 4:30, they're not going to be here, we're going to have to move the location, the weather's changing, do you want to do that scene or do we go into overtime because the truck drivers. . . and the generators are about to break down. I'd be hopeless. Let someone else make the decision. Just tell me what I'm shooting."

"Unfortunately, I don't feel like a writer. Faced with a blank page, it's absolutely terrifying but I must try and get on and do something, because I think it's quite a rewarding journey."

I'm in love with Jeremy and want to have his baby!

That's nice. That's something you'd have to write to Jeremy about and discuss with him.
