Jonathan Rhys Meyers Checks Into Rehab For The Third Time
Irish hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who has previous attempted to get clean by checking himself into rehab two previous times, has decided to give it another go … and has reportedly checked himself into a drug rehabilitation program for a third time. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again:
Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has reportedly checked into rehab in a bid to kick his drink demons once and for all. According to website Independent.ie, the Tudors star is attending a recovery center in England to deal with his alcohol problem. It would be Meyers’ third attempt at rehab – in 2005, he spent time at Malibu, California’s Promises Clinic in a bid to get sober, and he underwent further treatment in April 2007. However, he suffered a setback in November 2007 when he was arrested at Dublin Airport by Irish police and charged with being drunk and in breach of the peace. It later emerged that Meyers’ mother had died just days before his arrest. The actor has previously spoken out about his battle with drinking, saying, “When I do (drink) I’m like Bambi. I’m all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice.” And an insider on the Tudors show claims producers warned Meyers about his alcohol intake during filming on the program’s upcoming third season. The source says, “He is one of the nicest guys in the world, he’s a pleasure to work with. He has his demons, and he’s trying to cope with them as best he can.”
I think that JRM’s commitment to getting clean and taking control of his health and his life is absolutely commendable. Battling addiction is no easy task and it generally takes more than one try at rehab to really get a handle on one’s addictions. In fact, addicts find that they need to combat their demons on a daily basis. I applaud JRM’s latest attempt to complete a rehab program … and if this one doesn’t take, I hope he tries again and again. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is such an incredibly talented actor … I am really pulling for him to finally get cleaned up … here’s hoping.

He was great in Gormenghast. I wish him luck, maybe he should take some serious time off from working and just focus on getting it together.

He’s not hot, he’s just creepy. And he might be the secret clone of Angelina Jolie’s brother.

No offense but this guy LOOKS like a drug fiend with that stache and creepy eyes!

Well at least people are nice to him for going to rehab more than once, unlike they were with Lindsay Lohan who did the same exact thing. Double Standard, much?

LOL @F.
You’re totally right, he really does look like Angie’s brother.
I’m a fan of him, so I wish him the best.

Gormenghast was intense! Any fans of JRM will be rooting for Steerpike.
JRM, good luck in recovery. Addiction is an evil bitch.

Omg! I hope he stays in rehab and gets clean. I love his work on The Tudors, and hope he comes back fresh and clean. Poor JRM!

I love him….especially in the Tutors. He is an amazing actor…I really hope that he cleans it up this time!!

You know, no matter how great his work, I just can’t shake the creepy vibe he gives me…
February 27th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Yuck. He is so creepy looking!
February 27th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
I think he looks weirder than Marilyn Manson….
February 27th, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Hope he gets better. I don’t really find him hot. He has gorgeous lips and a nice body but those eyes freak me out! He looks a little crazed : (
February 27th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
I just love JRM, and I hope he gets the help he needs
February 27th, 2009 at 9:00 pm

wow-zers, his eyes in this pic, just WOH
February 27th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
His lips, his eyes…swoon! Well, maybe not his eyes in this pic. Glad to see he’s making the effort to get clean.
March 4th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
It’s really hard for me to understand why people think he has creepy eyes. I think he has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen..his lips are breathtakingly beautiful as well! I wish him the best and hope he finally gets the help he needs and never returns to that place…where ever he is!
