Jesse Eden Metcalfe is an American actor.
Biography
Early life
Metcalfe was born in California[1] to Scott Metcalfe and Nancy DeMaio; his father is of French and Italian descent, and his mother is of Portuguese and Italian descent. Jesse Metcalfe, who played in several basketball leagues during his teen years, grew up an only child [2] in Waterford, Connecticut and graduated from The Williams School, in New London, CT, but dropped out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in order to pursue a career as a writer/director. [3]
Metcalfe moved to Los Angeles and attended an open casting call, successfully auditioning for the NBC soap opera Passions. He played Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, one of five siblings, from the show's debut in July 1999 until July 2004. He left Passions because he felt that he "wasn't really going to get anything more out of it."
In late 2003 and early 2004, Metcalfe made two guest appearances on the WB Network TV series Smallville as vindictive "meteor freak hunter" Van McNulty.
Metcalfe returned to television as the teenage gardener John Rowland on the popular ABC TV drama Desperate Housewives, where his character had a secret relationship with housewife Gabrielle Solis played by Eva Longoria, since the series' debut in October 2004. This was the role that made Metcalfe a household name, and he immediately gained attention for his well-toned body, particularly his smooth and muscular pectorals, emphasised by the fact that he appeared shirtless in almost every scene he was in. USA Today in November 2004 named him "the [show's] hottest sex symbol".[4] Metcalfe only made a few appearances on the second season and only one thus far in the third season of Desperate Housewives. He is currently in a relationship with Hollywood's Nicki Ghazi. Ghazi worked with Metcalfe in John Tucker Must Die and other movies.
Metcalfe is the fifth victim and the fifth star to appear on Punk'd more than once, after Ben McKenzie, Wilmer Valderrama, Omarion, and Jesse McCartney. His first appearance was when Metcalfe and Ashton Kutcher punk'd Eva Longoria for stealing thousands of dollars and fraud (false identity). His second is when Metcalfe was punk'd by Ashton Kutcher's crew members during the Spider-Man 3 audition. Metcalfe also appeared in 3 Doors Down' "Let Me Go" video.
Metcalfe's first film role is in John Tucker Must Die, alongside Ashanti and One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush, in which he plays a wealthy and insincere teenage playboy high school basketball player. The film opened on July 28, 2006.
Jesse hosted The New Paul O'Grady Show on October 26, 2006, because Paul was taking the week off on doctor's orders. Jesse had previously been interviewed on the show twice before.
Relationship with Nadine Coyle
In February 2006, while in Australia, Metcalfe met and began dating Nadine Coyle a native of Derry city, Northern Ireland who performs in the British girl band Girls Aloud. In an interview with OK! Magazine, the couple said that they enjoy being with each other and Nadine said that she would love to have Jesse's children.
On November 16, 2006, It was reported in many tabloids and websites, that Metcalfe and Nadine Coyle had decided to end their relationship.[5] However, on November 28, the couple re-established their relationship.
It was announced on March 19, 2007, that Metcalfe entered rehab to be treated for alcoholism, [6] just days after rumours of marriage between him and Coyle. [7]
In April, a representative of Metcalfe told People Magazine that he and Coyle had ended their relationship. However, Metcalf and his management have not elaborated on the cause of the split. Reports of his infidelity with an unknown girl were denied and said to be "simply untrue". [8]
Jesse Metcalfe will make a surprise return to Desperate Housewives this season.[9]
