Jonathan Rhys Meyers

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS SURVIVED AN AIRPLANE FLIGHT WITHOUT A CASE OF THE CRAZIES

It’s a day to celebrate for Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He actually made it through an airplane flight (they just arrived in Paris) without getting drunk and making a horrible scene. Police were involved in incidents in Dublin, New York, Paris, and LA when he became inebriated before and during flights and abused airline personnel using unprintable obscenities against them. If his wife was present he insulted her and loudly threatened to divorce her as well. There’s something about airports that set off his drinking and anger issues. Later he’s apologetic, and despite her humiliation, his wife Mara (above with their child Wolf) always forgives him. She says he’s receiving “holistic treatment for his anger issues.”

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS SHOULD AVOID AIRPORTS AT ALL COSTS

Seems like every time we get some news about Match Point star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, it ‘s all about a drunken outburst at an airport. He’s been in and out of rehabs fighting alcohol and anger issues and both problems are exacerbated when flying. During his last incident starting in Miami he reportedly waved wheelchair passengers out of the way and insisted on boarding first because he was “a first class passenger.” A witness said that during the flight he consumed drink after drink, visited the bathroom over and over, and was so inebriated that he didn’t notice that his pants fell down. Then he pulled out an e-cigarette and when his wife begged him to stop he cursed her and told her he wanted a divorce. Police met him when the plane arrived at LAX and his wife Mara made excuses for him (?) and apologized profusely. He didn’t get arrested, but we pity that wife. And after four or five of these abusive “incidents,” why hasn’t he been banned from flying those airlines?

DOES JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS’ FIANCEE KNOW WHAT SHE’S IN FOR?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his fiancée Mara Lane, along with her adorable puppy, look like a happy couple walking in Beverly Hills. Jonathan looks a LOT better than the last time we saw photos of him last May. Remember, he was staggering around in the daytime in London, looking like a frazzled mess, guzzling vodka out of a big bottle. When Jonathan falls off the wagon, he does so in a spectacular manner. There have been a number of airplane incidents and public scenes, but with the help of rehab, Jonathan survived them all and returned to work. Somehow he managed to hold on to his fiancée.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS: LIFE GOES ON

Jonathan Rhys Meyers looks happy enough shopping at The Grove with his girlfriend. When his TV series Dracula was cancelled he almost went off the deep end. Friends were worried because he’s been to rehab three times and was banned for life from flying on United Airlines for disruptive behavior. Luckily, not long after the Dracula debacle (and just when he thought his career was over) he was cast in the movie Stonewall and started filming just in time.

The cancellation of the sexy Victorian drama “Dracula” a few weeks ago was a huge blow to the show’s star Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Sources say the actor was really happy doing the NBC series and it was a painful shock when it wasn’t renewed. Meyers has wrestled with alcohol abuse problems in the past (he was banned for life from United Air Lines) and has been to rehab several times. Friends feared the worst when the cancellation caused him such despair that he was feeling like a failure. But he got lucky. Meyers just signed to appear in the gay rights movie Stonewall, which recently started filming.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS CHECKS INTO REHAB NUMBER 4 AND OUT OF A JOB

Now that his boozing is costing him some money, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, 33, might actually take his current stay in rehab seriously. The sexy Tudors star has a bad habit of getting drunk and disorderly in airports and has been in rehab three times before his recent check-in. He‘s also been the spokesperson for Hugo Boss for since 2006, but now they’ve replaced him with Jared Leto.

“The Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his girlfriend of six years, Reena Hammer, are loading groceries into the car at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills. Cosmetics heiress Reena has been through a lot with Jonathan in their years together – he’s been in rehab three times and most recently was involved in a brawl at the Paris airport where he allegedly threatened to kill bar staffers. (Did they cut him off?) The volatile actor seems calm today and it look like he’s beefing up his height with those heels.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS: LET THE GAY RUMORS BEGIN

The fact that “The Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Donatella Versace went to a White House dinner event together will no doubt reignite that speculation about his sexual preference. Actually, these two have more than fashion in common, they both have battled substance abuse problems – maybe they are staying sober together.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS: REHAB? NOT ME!

He’s perplexing. “Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested for public drunkenness and breach of the peace at the Dublin airport, so no one was surprised in February when he supposedly went off to rehab. Now he tells us he DIDN’T really go to rehab – he made up that story because he needed time off- especially from award shows. (Can’t blame him – those award shows can be a nuisance.) But he allows that he did see “a counselor” for some reason. He looks rather healthy and sexy here as he walks out of Katsuya in Hollywood.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS ADDS FOUR INCHES WHERE HE NEEDS IT MOST

We’ve always been fascinated by men wearing elevator shoes so we were delighted to see this photo of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his intricately built up boots. He’s currently filming The Tudors at a castle in Dublin. Jonathan plays the notorious Henry VIII and at 5’9″ he just isn’t imposing enough. These leather boots were constructed with lifts outside and inside. It looks like they add around four inches to Jonathan’s height. He’s accustomed to wearing heels – remember, Jonathan plays basketball in cowboy boots.
