Jonathan Rhys Meyers Admits to 'Minor' Alcohol Relapse, Apologizes to Fans

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has released a statement after being photographed taking swigs from a vodka bottle in London earlier this month.

The 37-year-old actor, who has been to rehab three times for issues with substance abuse, sent his fans a message on fiancée Mara Lane‘s Instagram account.

“Mara and I are thankful for your support and kindness during this time. I apologize for having a minor relapse and hope that people don’t think too badly of me. I stopped drinking immediately and it is no reflection on Damascus Cover as I was not meant to attend Cannes this year and I apologize to fans and colleagues,” he wrote. “I am on the mend and thank well wishers and sorry for my disheveled appearance as I was on my way home from a friends and had not changed I feel I made a mistake and feel quite embarrassed but this was just a blip in my recovery otherwise I’m living a healthy life. Love and blessings. #Rebel #Angel”

Fans were concerned about Jonathan after he did not attend the 2015 Cannes Film Festival to promote Damascus Cover.
